The Library of Congress has a free database of scanned newspapers (I don't think it is as extensive as newspapers.com).
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ I found a few mentions in a quick search of 3/10-3/11 and Cubs - it looks like Rogers had a good two-game series vs. the Los Angeles Angels: https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/l...e=range&page=1 https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/l...e=range&page=1 You might have more luck if you spend a little more time. I suggest looking at the LA and Chicago papers for those dates, without a keyword, and looking at the sports sections. Sometimes the search feature doesn't pick up all of the words as it is searching an image.

Spring Training on Catalina Island
I believe the first one is correct. The game was played at Wrigley Field in LA, which is where the first article stated the game was at. The second article states Avalon, California (Catalina Island), where the Cubs had Spring Training until the War.
Interesting video on Spring Training on Catalina Island 1939 (no sound). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2cueKhvN9k Field is now the location of the Police and Fire Departments of Avalon. Map where field was right above golf course. Thanks Bob, I notice you seem to be the man on difficult questions. |
