Double Victory Over Browns Sealed Pennant Retention: Giants Beat Cubs Easily New York, Sept. 22.
New York Yankees to-day won the American Léagüe pennant for the second successive year.
It was the ninth victory in all scored since the League was first organized in 1901 and equalled the nine-triumph record of the Philadelphiá Athletics.
By beating the St. Louis Browns in both tussles of to-day's double-header, the Yanks accumulated a lead which will be mathematically impossible for their nearest rivals, the Detroit Tigers, to surpass. The first official step taken by the Yankees to mark their victory was the announcement of sale of tickets for the World Series.
