(Reg. U. s. Pat. Of.) By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 5.-(UP)--Lady Luck certainly is tantalizing big Mort Cooper, permitting him to get one foot within the portal of the Hall of Fame on two consecutive oc- casions and then barring his en- trance with "one-hitters."
 Mort, big, black-haired right handler of the Cardinals, progressed to the brink of immortality last night as the Cards blanked the Phillies, so. Jimmy Wasdells single at the start of the eighth inning blasted Mort,s hopes of registering the first no hit, no run game in the major leagues since Lon Warneke turned the trick for the same Car dinals against the Reds on Aug. 30, 1941.
 A one-hitter also prevented his claiming a pedestal for posterity during his previous pitching appear ance. May 31, when the Cards blanked the Dodgers, 70, and Billy Herman got of high, twisting two- bagger just inside the foul line in the fifth inning in the old St. Loo park.
 Needs Luck
 Regardless of ability, a pitcher must have plenty of luck to achieve a no-hitter. Johnny Wander Nicer of the Reds was shoWered with fortune in 1888 when he registered two in row, on June II and the night of June 15 at Brooklyn. Perhaps before this season is completed. Mort Cooper will get the proper smile from Dame Fortune-the breaks on the field to complement his ability.
 Cooper is able. This season he has won six games against three de- feats and has registered three shut outs. He was not only the best pitch CT, but also the most valuable player in the National League last season. His hurling proved a major factor in the Cardinals drive to the pen- nant. Mort wound up the season with the leagues best allowed earnedrun average of TIT.
 Whether Mort ever gamers a mo- hitter, the baseball world knows that he has knocked upon the Hall of Flames door by no mere chance. He is a great all-around pitcher He has an effective repertoire of the deliveries that are fundamental for marked success upon the mound.
 Mort can provide the pitch that's needed at a proper time-fast ball, screw ball, fork ball or curve. Last season Mort registered 10 shutouts, a performance that indicates the inability Of opposing batters to col- lect many long drives of his deliv- cries. In l942 he pitched 279 in- nings, during which only 12 home runs were garnered.
 ScrewbaIls
 His fast ball is the most effective pitch. This is blurred lightning, with a hop at the end. But to south paw batsmen, he feeds screwballs, keeping them on the outside so that they can't be pulled to right field. Right-handed hitters get the fast ball and the fork ball. The lat ter approaches the plate in drunken fashion like knucklers butterfly pitch. It's almost impossible to smack the fork" solidly.
 In addition, Mort has unusual control. With three-and-two count on the batsman, he can produce a feint or an actual in the strike zone that forces CD a waiting called strike, or @ a. Whiff.
 If anyone can register a no-hitter in the majors this season, it's Mort Cooper-given a most percentage in the breaks.

Count Fleet 1 To 20
 Favorite Today
By OSCAR FRALEY (United Press Staff COrreSpOndentl

New York, June 5 OU.P) - Mrs. John D. Hertz's Count Fleet lightning fast colt who laughs when he runs, goes after the $25, ,OOO added Belmont stakes today and the honor of being the second horse in turf history to win the coveted quadruple crown.
 At odds of 1 to 20, the fleet was regarded as safely in port. Barring the way, but regarded as inconse- quential rivals, were Fairly Man hurst and Deseronto, two mediocre colts whose chief claim to fame lies In being sired by champions of other eras.
 On the basis of class and per- formance, all that stood between the Count and turf immortality was the formality of circling Melmont Parks picturesque track for a mile and one-half.

 It is a match of considerable sig niticance. Angott has high hopes of regaining the title he relinquished last fall. Armstrong has also set his sights on the 135-pound division crown. A defeat for either at this time will mean the end of his championship quest.

STEPHENS FACES LOSS OF GREAT
 DIAMOND CAREER
St. Louis Browns Star Has Perfect Day at Bat;
 GOrdOn's Homer Wins
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff COrrespondentl

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 New York, June 5.-CUP)-Ted Williams of the Boston Red SoX has been the outstanding career casualty of the war. Now there is another youngster who may soon be able to claim half share in that distinction. He is Vern Stephens, shortstop of the St. Louis Browns.
 When Williams became a naval flying cadet, it appeared that the most promising career in baseball was being cut off in the middle. Today the pending induction of Stephens promises to bring to halt just as brilliant.
 Joe Gordons sixth homer of the year gave the Yankees 10-inning, 6-4 triumph over the Browns yes terday, but it was moral victory for Stephens.
 Just returned from a preliminary draft board examination, Stephens had perfect day at bat. He col lected two home runs, 8 double, single and walk in five trips to the plate, boosting his league lead ing average to cool .404.
 Five for J. M.
 Johnny Murphy was credited with his fifth triumph when Gordon laced out his four bagger in the 10th with two out and Charlie Keller on first. Keller previously had belted his seventh homer of the year.
 Stephens sterling performance had to split today's headlines with Mort Cooper, righthanded pitcher of the Cardinals, however. Cooper came within single hit of base balls Hall of Fame for the second straight time last night as the Red Birds blanked the Phillies, so.
 Jimmy Wasdell's eighth-inning single was the only blow off Cooper and the only other Phil base run ner was Merrill May. who got aboard when the pitcher fumbled his easy tap. Cooper did not pass a man and famed five to notch his sixth win.
 Billy Hermans double in the fifth inning last Monday deprived Cooper of no-hitter in game against Brooklyn.
 In two American league night games, the Tigers shaded the Sena- tors 2-1 and Cleveland clipped the As, 3-2.
 Sox Game Close
 The White Sox scored four runs in the first inning and coaSted to 4-3 win over the Red SoX. A pair of walks, Don KolloWay's double and Wally Moses triple featured the rally. Buck Ross pitched hitless ball for the White Sox until the fifth and was kayoed in the seventh when Boston made four hits for two runs. Gordon Maltzberger held the Red Sox the rest of the way.
 In the only National league day game, the Dodgers loosed a seven run barrage in the first inning to breeze to an 18-5 win over the Chi cago Cubs.
 Vince DiMaggio scored all the way from first on passed ball in the eighth as the Pirates edged the Giants. 918, in free-hitting night game.
 Boston and Cincinnati were un- scheduled.
 YESTERDAYS STARS - Vern Stephens of the Browns and Mort Cooper of the Cardinals. Stephens had a perfect day at the plate as the Browns bowed to the Yankees, 6-4, and Cooper pitched g. one-hitter as the Cardinals blanked the Phil lies. 50.
