He's having the best year ne has
had with the Gibsonites since he
came up 10 Smoke Town in 1912

Cooper just now is the National
league ace. Up to July l he had
won Is starts and lost for an av-
erage OF .S67.
Last season he worked IN -

Cooper Is not a giant for size. He
weighs just about the same as Geor-
ges Carpenter stripped for when he
fought the battle Of Jersey - 172
pounds. He is feet liz inches
tall.
But Cooper has uncommonly long
arms and tapering fingers. This
gives him an excellent leverage and
grip on the ball which most pitchers
this year are finding so lively.
The Pittsburger has a good lead TO
be the first 3O-game winner in either
