The Chicago Cub Shot For Love [CloudLibrary (E-Read Texas)] : A Showgirl's Crime of Passion and the 1932 World Series / Bales, Jack. [S.l. : The History Press, 2021. 1 online resource. 144 p. Electronic book. In the summer of 1932, with the Cubs in the thick of the pennant race, Billy Jurges broke off his relationship with Violet Popovich to focus on baseball. The famously beautiful showgirl took it poorly, marching into his hotel room with a revolver in her purse. Both were wounded in the ensuing struggle, but Jurges refused to press charges. Even without their star shortstop, Chicago made it to the World Series, only to be on the wrong end of Babe Ruth's legendary Called Shot. Using hundreds of original sources, Jack Bales profiles the lives of the ill-fated couple and traces the ripple effects of the shooting on the Cubs' tumultuous season. Electronic reproduction.
