The New York Yankees clinched the American League pennant aided by Chicago's 6-3 win over Boston in the first game of a rain-shortened doubleheader. Don Kolloway led the White Sox with a homer and multiple hits, while Orval Grove held Boston to 11 knocks. Boston's Ted Williams failed to spark a rally as the Sox dropped the opener.
