IN THE NEWS:
Dizzy Dean wins the opening game of the WS 8-3,
as Detroit manager Mickey Cochrane holds back his
ace, Schoolboy Rowe. Veteran Al Crowder is ineffective
as the Cardinals romp. Joe Medwick homers in a 4-for-4
day while the Tigers make 5 errors.
IN THE NEWS:
Schoolboy Rowe evens the Series with a 12-inning,
3-2 win, shutting out the Cardinals over the
final 9. The Tigers tie the game in the 9th inning
and win on Goose Goslin's single.
IN THE NEWS:
With no need for a travel delay, the teams move
to St. Louis, and Paul Dean puts the Cardinals ahead
with a 4-1 win. He pitches shutout ball until
the 9th.
IN THE NEWS:
It is the Cardinals turn to play poorly, and they
make 5 errors to lose 10-4. Dizzy Dean, used
as a pinch runner, is carried off the field after
being hit in the head by Billy Rogell's throw. Hank

IN THE NEWS:
Paul Dean holds off the Tigers in a pitching duel
with Schoolboy Rowe, winning 4-3. Weak-hitting
Leo Durocher has 3 hits, as does Tigers manager Mickey
Cochrane.
IN THE NEWS:
Dizzy Dean makes good his boast that "me and Paul
will win all 4 games." He humbles Detroit 11-0,
as the Tigers go to pieces. When Joe Medwick slides
roughly into 3B in the 6th inning, he tangles with
Marv Owen. Irate Tigers fans in the temporary LF stands
then launch a barrage of fruit at Medwick, halting
the game. With the score at 9-0, Commissioner
Landis removes Medwick from the game "for his own
safety."
While the Cardinals celebrate their WS victory
in St. Louis, their top farm team, Columbus, wins
the final game of a 9-game Junior WS. The American
Association representatives beat Toronto of the International
League in the 2nd game of a playoff doubleheader.
