Indians Top Chisox as Yankees Falter in Athletics Sweep
Cleveland moved a game and a half ahead of the Yankees in the American League after a 7-1 win over Chicago and an A’s doubleheader win over New York. The A’s swept the twin bill, ending New York’s hopes as rain and curfews altered a game that tied the league leaders the night before. Boston and Brooklyn posted wins, while Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Chicago split and shutouts marked other action across the circuit.
