After losing the 1st two games of the series with the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals, the 1935 Chicago Cubs came back to win the next two and force a Game 5. Back in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, the Cubs left little doubt on who would win the series, chasing Burleigh Grimes in the 3rd inning. The Cubs offense collected 22 hits and scored 14 runs to crush Cardinals’ hopes of advancing in the Winner’s Bracket. After scoring a run in the 2nd and three runs in the 3rd, the Cubs scored 7 in the 4th, sending 13 batters to the plate. Augie Galan set the tone, going 5 for 6 in the leadoff spot with 2 doubles and scoring 3 times. Frank Demaree went 4 for 6, and even #9 hitter Billy Jurges went 4 for 5. While Chuck Klein is hitting just .167 in the Tournament, and Jurges raised his average to .290, every other Cubs hitter is batting over .300, making them the early favorite to win it all. The Cardinals did manage 2 runs off Bill Lee, who went 7 1/3 to pick up the 14-2 win. The Cardinals will face a rematch with the 1934 New York Giants in the Loser’s Bracket. The Cardinals won the prior series between the teams that went the full 5 games.
