But in the American League only a baseball blackout could have stopped the New York Yankees short of their fourth straight pennant, their fifth under Joe McCarthy, their eleventh in all. On Saturday afternoon they made it mathematically certain, beating Detroit while second-place Boston, 17 hopeless games behind, lost to Cleveland.
