YANKS CLINCH JUNIOR LEAGUE PENNANT RACE Wins American l eague Pennant; Giants Lose Half Gaine New York. Sept. 10—(U.R>—The Yankees are in. They received the checkered flag in the American league race ■ ajter topping the Cleveland Indians in the first game of a dou-ble-header yesterday, leaving the baseball world to speculate on which National league pitching corps could hope to silence the big guns of the Bronx bombers in the coming world series. The Yankees have assembled one of the most dangerous collections of sluggers in baseball annals, one that even surpasses in some departments the famed ■'murderers' row” of 1927. It takes topnotch pitching to stop them, as is easily seen from their record of clinching the pennant with 16 games left to play, and none of the National contenders seem to have the twirling strength to down them Only Carl Hubbell of the Giajits. Dizzy Dean of the Cardinale and Larry French of the Cubs appear dangerous. With 164 home runs to their credit, the Yankees are almost certain to better the all-time mark of 173 set by the Philadelphia Athletics in 1932. Leading the circuit by 18 gaanes. there is excellent reason to believe that the Yankees will establish a new American league margin for winning the pennant. Another two game advantage, and they will top the record of 19 set in 1927 by the original murderers’ row. which had Ruth. Gehrig. Meusel and Lazzeri. Only one of that quartet. Lon Gehrig, has maintained his 1927 reputation to this year. "Iron Man” Lou has had one of his best years. Betides running his string of consecutive games played to 1.793. he has clouted the ball at a. .360 pace, and leads the league race in home runs with 44. Tony Lazzeri, only other remaining member of that famous foursome, is at the tail end of the Yankee regulars with a. batting mark of .273. but in the pinch he still is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the league. However. Col. Jake Ruppert has made ample replacements, and the new murderers’ row has six members instead of four. Gehrig. Bill Dickey. Joe Di Maggio. Jake Powell. • Red" Rolfe and George Selkirk, all parting the ball al better than .300. make the Yankee lineup one of the most formidable ever known. Besides laizzeri, the only regular on the team hitting leswr than .300 is Frank Crosetti. He is hovering around .290. Manager Joe McCarthy also has two pitchers high in the baiting columns, Johnnie Murphy and Red Ruffing, with percentages of .367 and .316, respectively. Looking back on the drive to the pennant, it appears that the acquisition of Monte Pearson from the Cleveland Indians last winter was McCarthy's master stroke. When Lefty Gomez failed it was only the brilliant pitching of Pearson which enabled the Yankees to clinch the flag on the earliest date in American league history—four days earlier than the 1927 Yanks turned the trick. Pearson had the honor of twirling his team to a mathematical certainty for the championship yesterday. He limited his former mates to eight hits as the Yanks romped off with an 11 to 3 decision for his 18th victory of the year. In the second game the Yanks won out 12 to 9. despite being outhit 16 to 10. It was the old story of extra base blows. Lou Gehrig's four base wallop with the bases loaded in the second inning was the feature. The Chicago White Sox took a better grip on second place by edging out a 3-2 decision over the Boston Red Sox in 13 innings. The Washington Senators climbed into third by walloping the Detroit Tigers, 11 to 4. Philadelphia at St. Louis was rained out. In the National league, the New York Giants' leading margin was lessened to 4% games over the St. Louis Cardinals as they split a double-header with the Cincinnati! Reds while the Cards grubbed out a 3 to 1 victory over Boston in 15 innings. The Giants won the first game, 4 to 2, then succumbed. 3 to 2. The Chicago Cubs slipped to a. game and a half behind St. Louis by dividing with the Philadelphia Philließ. triumphing in the opener, 10-3, then falling in the 12 inning nightcap. 5-4. Brooklyn scored three times in the ninth to beat Pittsburgh 8 to 7. Yesterday’s Hero: The New York Yankees, who clinched' the pennant on the earliest date in American league history.
