Chicago takes the first two games in Brooklyn as the starting pitching dominates. Now the series shifts to Chicago, with game 3 taking place this afternoon.

Game 1 -- Wednesday, September 30th, 1936, Kings County Park

The series started well enough for Brooklyn as Tom Barrell opened the first by striking out the first two batters. But a walk, 3 hits, and 2 errors allowed the Chiefs to score 4 runs. Rabbit Day did the rest--scattering 6 hits over 9 innings. Brooklyn's only damage came when Al Wheeler led off the 9th with a home run. Day improves to 5-1, 2.74 ERA in championship series games.

Time of Game: 2:53
Attendance: 31,860

Game 2 -- Thursday, October 1st, 1936, Kings County Park

Game 2 was more of the pitchers' duel that everyone thought Game 1 might be. Al Miller and Mike Murphy were both pitching well, and Chicago was up 3-0 after 6 innings. In the bottom of the 7th, 2 walks and a John Langille double loaded the bases for Brooklyn with no one out. Miller was able to induce 2 weak fly balls and a ground out to end the threat without Brooklyn scoring. And having pinch hit for Murphy in the 7th, the Kings send Del Lyons out to pitch the 8th. Singles by Jim Hampton, Joe Foy, and Miller scored 1 run for the Chiefs. Two more runs scored on a double by Bob Martin, who was then thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple.

Time of Game: 3:02
Attendance: 31,849
