Stix, Baer and Fuller F.C.

In the National Cup finals, SBF ran up against the New Bedford Whalers of the American Soccer League.

[1] The Whalers folded after the National Cup series and five of its players moved west to join SBF.

Following their National Cup victory, the team again changed sponsorship, this time to St. Louis Central Breweries.

The newly renamed team continued to find success, winning both the 1935 SLSL and National Cup titles.

In mid October the sponsors James A.Burke and John J.Dwyer dropped their connection with the team and for the next month were known simply as St. Louis soccer club.

It was in mid November that they withdrew from the league and began an intercity schedule out of Sportsmans Park under the name Father Dempsey's Shamrocks with the backing of Phil A.Riley who had resigned as league president to head up the management of this experimental attempt to run an independent pro team.

However, the core of the team remained and the Shamrocks went to the 1936 and 1937 National Cup finals, only to fall to the Philadelphia German-Americans and New York Americans, respectively.

[3] In April 1936 the Shamrock played two matches against the visiting Botafogo FC from Rio de Janeiro with stars like Leônidas da Silva and Carvalho Leite.
