Cards Start First Brother
Battery in Series History

ST. Louis, Sept. 30-UP-A couple
of nerveless country boys formed
the first brother battery in world
series history today.
1t was Morton Cooper, 2S, on the
throwing end, and Walker Cooper,
81, on the receiving end for the
st. Louis Cardinals. II was their
first big money assignment. but
neither expressed fear OF the Yam
KEGS.
Nobody has beaten them in a
world series since the Cardinals
did it in 1926 and think it is high
time that we did it again" Mort
said. They may be better than We
are. but they'll have to show me
they are"
Morton's confidence was reflect
ed in Walkers calm demeanor. Both
confessed they never missed wink
of sleep during the stretch run
when the Cardinals in a 43-day
drive under pressure won SO out
of 40 games to win the National
League pennant.
Morton said there was not a great
deal Of difference between the Yam
KEGS and the Dodgers and that he
expected to pitch about the same
way to them as he did to Brook
Ign. He beat the pressure-seasoned
Dodgers five times, shutting them
out in three of the games. The only
game he lost to them was a seven
inning seven-hitter. which was
called because OF dimout regula-
lions along the Atlantic seaboard.
May Rival Deans
The Coopers. who come from In
dependence, Mo-, may furnish as
much color for the Cardinals as
Dizzy and Paul Dean, the pitching
brothers, who led them in their
1884 series triumph over Detroit.
Like the Deans. the Coopers are
earthly youths. They talk with a
countrified drawl and shy from
crowds, publicity and night life.
They like to talk about the folks
from home or livestock prices.
Walker, the younger. furnishes
the brains and Morton the power
Walker knows the batting weak
