hit of the game.
Gains Revenge
The victory gained some re-
venge for Cooper whose two-hi!ter
in the opening game was smother
ed by George McQuinn's two-run
homer. Although he allowed more
hits today, Mort probably never
was in better form. He struck out
at least one man in every inning
but the fifth and no Brownie trav-
elled farther than second base ex-
cept in the sixth, when two singles
and walk loaded the bases.
The Cardinals bats didn't speak
as often as yesterday but they
were loud. Four of their six hits
were for extra bases. In addition
to the homers, Litwhiler and Mu-
sial came through with doubles -
both of which were wasted against
Galeheuse's superb hurting. Mu-
siaPs two-bagger came in the third
with two out and GalehoYse struck
out Walker Cooper for the scent

The other two safeties Oft the
32-year-old Brownie highlander,
were OF a scratch variety in the
second inning. Whitley Kurowski
led off with single that Vern
Steuhens got his hands on but not
in time to make play. Marty Ma
rion fouled out and then Tmil Yer
ban dribbled one through the box
to send the Cardinal third base.

play Of the game, a Stephens to
McQuinn combine, quickly erased
this threat.

two men on the bases with two

The hopes of the Brownies sup
