ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-tR-The
Cooper brothers proved too much
for the Brooklyn Dodgers to
handle today as the St. Louis Car
dinals squeezed out 4 to 8 tri-
umph that shaved Brooklyn's sec
ond place margin in the National
League to half a game.
This clout, Cooper's ninth of the
year, put the Cardinals in front
2 to 0 and caused Manager Leo
Durocher of the Dodgers to remove
his starting pitcher, Kirby Higbe,
for a pinchhitter in the fifth.
The maneuver brought pinch
single from Paul Wanter, scoring
a run, and Frenchy Bordagaray
singled across another to tie the
score. But it also brought Rookie
Rex Barney to the mound and his
wildness gave the Cardinals the

numbered his arm but because of
his late start judgment on his true
ability will have to be withheld at
present.
Widespread recognition has at
tended this Saturdays clash and
it well conceded that the 5000
bleacher seating will hardly suf-
flee to care for the ever so many
AA soldiers plus civilian specta-
tors.
Wake Forest has long been q
prominent factor in North Caro-
lima grid affairs and though Coach
Peahead Walker has been using
the Waiting Wall for his lamenta-
tons, impartial critics opine he
will undoubtedly field his usually
alert and well-schooled eleven.
From Camp Davis it will afford q
grand opportunity to claim top
spot among service teams in the
event of a triumph over the Dea-
cons. "With both outfits equipped
with performers who are short in
experience and years, but long II
willing determination says Ma
jor Johnson" the contest is a
natural $3.50 proposition.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-LF-The
New York Yankees edged closer
toward the clinching of another

Borowy kept the Tigers score

tripled and came home on an in

it's other tally in the seventh, but

It was a season of only 140 games
at that time, which makes the Pl-
rates feat the more remarkable.
Since the 154-game schedule was
sadopted the Cards of 1881, who
clinched the flag Sept. 16. hold the
record for early clinching.
Oddly enough. when the Pirates
won by q 10 games their winning
percentage wasn't the highest In
the history of the league. L h e
highest was that of the Chicago
Cubs of 1906, who won 1l6 games
and lost So for mark of 1853.
That is, it is the highest mark
since 1900. Back in 1880 Chicago
had a 1913 winning average, but
the season was only "a games. For
some reason or other records are
divided into two divisions, those
before 1900 and those after, the
assumption being that overnight
from 1899 to 1900 the boys quit
PLAYING a sort of glorified three
old cat and started playing base
ball.
The 1902 season was low-tide
wear for the New York Giants, the
same as it is this year. The Giants,
before this year, had finished In
eighth place only three times, and
the 1902 season was rock bottom.
They won only 43 games while
losing SO for a 1853 average, max
ing their current mark of around
1880 seem fairly respectable.
And if it will make Manager
Mel OFT feel any better it might
be mentioned that the following
year the Giants jumped to second
place, although that does seem
like promising starving man
good meal a week from Wednes-
day. 1t does show, however, what
can be done, and gives the dis
couraged Giant fans something toI
MUNICH on. They can realize that
their team has been down before,
even farther than it is now, and
has bounced right back.
The Giants had not finished last
since 1915 until this year, and that
year it was quite rousing last,
as they won 50 games and finished
with an average of .454 which, as
this was written, would be only
three percentage points out of the
first division.
If the 1906 Cubs, with their per-
centage of 1853, didn't win by the
most games on record, they had
one other feather in their hat be-
sides their winning average. They
led the eighth-place Boston Braves
by Sc IL games. Did someone say
the Phillies used to be bad?
So the Cardinals this year, al
though winning as they please, are
quite a ways from setting records,
either in winning percentage or In
the size of their margin. They
might break the Yankees Ameri-
can League record for the mar
gin of victory-19 IL games in
1936-but that would be like break
ing a swimming record in sail
boat.

CARD 0UTFIELDERS
TOP YANKEE TRIO
Musial, Leagues Leading
Batter, Best OF Outer
Gardeners

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-'R-stan
Musial, the ace of the st. Louis
Cards, dominates the outfielders
in the World Series this year just
as Joe DiMaggio did so often in
the past.
The presence of the rosy-cheek-
ed young sluger in .rightfield gives
the Cardinals a clear-cut edge over
the New York Yankees in any
comparison of the two. outflelds
despite the fact the Bronx Bomb
ers have an awesome ''block-bust-
er" in Charley Keller.
Musial was a subdued figure IN
the Cardinals conquest OF tn e
Yankees last year, batting .222 with
no hit longer than double and
sometimes acting like a frightened
rabbig on fly balls hit in his di-
rection.
Last year in the regular season
Musial hit .315, including 10 hon.
ers, 10 triples and 80 doubles, and
batted in Y runs. This year he
is 50 per cent better ball player
than he was as rookie. With two
weeks to 60 he is batting 1856 and
already has collected IS homers,
10 triples and "A doubles and has
knocked in rs runs.
The additional experience he has
acquired has made him sure OF
himself, which he wasn't last fall.
Up until today Keller had hit
% home runs, but his batting av-
erage was .271 and he had knocked
in n TALES, just two more than
his Redbird rival. Compared with
Musials 205 hits, Keller had ia
of which IA were doubles n d
nine were triples.
Keller has been in three World
Series during which he batted in
16 runs for a spectacular show
ing, but last year, when he col
lected two home runs and two
singles, his average was an even
200.
Keller and three of the other
four outfielders available to the
Yankees are lefthanded batters,
who may find St. Louis southpaw
pitching difficult.
Because of this, and because
Roy Weatherly has a lame leg
which he hurt again Sunday, Man.
ager Joe Mccarthy may choose to
use George Stainback in center
field against portsiders.
Stainback is hitting .252 and in
SO games, or parts of games, he
has batted in total of five runs.
Weatherly, obtained from Cleve-
land last winter for regular cen
terrified duty. has played IN II
games, batting .261 and driving in
% runs. John Lindell, converted
pitcher who also is centerfield
possibility if Weatherly is hurt,
has a .249 average and has knock
ca in so runs, mostly in the spring
when he was the regular right
fielder.
This shows the deficit the Yanks
will have in the middle garden
where DiMaggio had been an IL
lustrious fixture for New York S
last six World Series.
In rightfield the Yankees will
use a rookie, Arthur (Bud Methe-
ny, who has stamped himself as
conner since winning the assign
ment in midseason.

Marcel Grapples Stewart
With Score To Be Settled

The two wrestling matches
scheduled for Friday night at Tha-
liam Hall give every indication of
being the toughest mat card to be
presented this year.
With Bill Wentworth and Al
Massey leading off in the semi
final, the snow will progress on it's
rocky way to the feature match
between the Masked Marvel and
Bobby Stewart, the Golden Terror.
Every man of the four is well
known for his ability to keep
things in an uproar for the full
length of the bouts. While stand
ard wrestling rules are always in
effect, no one expects this quartet
to abide by anything except the
referees fists.
A full detail of police has been
requested by Promoter Causey.
and the public is warned against
interfering with the wrestlers If
they become too rough. Stewart
and Marvel have a score to get
settled and while Massey and
Wentworth will meet for the first
time, neither IS expected to show
any pleasure over the introduction.
Tickets are going fast to this
feature event and the ring-slde
reservations are rapidly diminish
ing. The first bout will begin
promptly at $50 p. m. Friday.
