In a closed practice, the Series-bound Senators test the less-lively National League ball. Joe Cronin finds it “rides plenty,” hitting three of the first four pitches into the stands. “I’m in the wrong league,” he says.

Detroit’s Tommy Bridges reaches the 9th inning with a no-hitter for the third time this season and the fourth time in two years. He yields a pair of hits, as Detroit beats the Browns, 7 – 0. Despite the win, Bucky Harris resigns as manager of the Tigers.

Tom Oliver strikes out as a pinch-hitter in his final major league at-bat, ending his four-year career with 2,073 homerless plate appearances. The 30 year-old Red Sox outfielder’s long-ball drought sets a modern record, but nineteenth-century catcher Bill Holbert, who also never went deep over the course of his entire career, made 2,396 trips to the plate without hitting a home run.

Despite the 5th-place Tigers’ 5 – 3 win over the Browns, manager Bucky Harris submits his resignation. Babe Ruth’s name will be prominent in the newspapers as a possible replacement.

The Cubs beat the Reds, 7 – 1, with Paul Derringer losing his 27th game for the last-place Reds, the most losses since George Bell in 1910. Gabby Hartnett hits a grand slam for the Cubs.

The Phils and Braves, split a twinbill, each winning 5 – 4. Chuck Klein has three hits in each game, including his National League-high 28th homer in the opener. Boston’s Wally Berger, second in homers with 26, is out of action and doesn’t play today.

1933 – With lefty Walter Stewart pitching, Washington eliminates the Yankees and clinches the American League pennant in a 2 – 1 home win over St. Louis.

Although they lose to St. Louis, 12 – 3, the Giants clinch the pennant when runner-up Pittsburgh splits a pair in Philadelphia.

The Yankees pile up 34 hits and drub the White Sox twice, 10 – 1 and 10 – 3. George Uhle and Charlie Devens are the recipients of the offensive largesse. Joe Sewell has six hits for the afternoon, while Lou Gehrig has six RBIs. Gehrig hits home run #30 in the first game, following immediately after Dixie Walker hits a homer. Lou is now even with Babe Ruth, who sat out the afternoon.

The 2nd-place Yankees split with the White Sox, winning, 6 – 1, on Johnny Allen’s two-hitter, before falling, 4 – 3. Les Tietje, in his big league debut, stops the Bombers in the nitecap. Lou Gehrig clubs home runs #28 and #29: Jimmie Foxx leads the American League with 45.
