Yankees Take Commanding Lead In AL Pennant Race
The New York Yankees established a wide lead over the American League field as intra sectional games wrap up. Annie Mack's Athletics remain in contention, needing decisive wins in their series with the world champion Cardinals to avoid slipping further. Casey Stengel era notes, Donohue, Alexander and Ottomley feature in a slate of late season action across Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn venues. Washington and Boston split two games with heavy hitting by Leach and Whitney contributing to a 11 to 10 result for the Phillies in one contest. The nightcap saw a 16 to 7 Senator win as Frank O Rourke of the Browns sustained a head injury but recovered. Rain shortened a key doubleheader with Detroit.
