BREADON INSISTS } WALK0UTS'
 WAS TOO MUCH

St. Louis, Mo-, May 24-(UP)- Three charges of insubordination prompted the St. Louis Cardinals to trade big Mort Cooper, their pitch ing ace, the star-times reported to- day.
 Sid Keener, star-times sports edi- tor, said he had authoritative in- formation that this brought about the trade of the right handler to the Boston Braves for Charley (Red) Barrett and cash.
 Manager Billy Southwoxth made every effort to talk owner Sam Breadon out of disposing of Cooper, Keener said, and Billy stated on several occasions:
 q believe I can straighten out Mort and satisfy him. We have a chance to win the 1945 pennant."
 Keener said Breadon considered Cooper's three walkouts on the Cardinals this season as 'insubor- dination." The sports editor quoted Breadon:
 I overlooked Morton's little mu- tiny act the first time, realizing he was somewhat disturbed over my re- fusal to grant his request for $15,000.
 T felt he would get over that grouch, pull himself together and become a team man for the club. Then, he challenged this organiza- tion again by refusing to join the squad on the trip to Cincinnati
 Stars Were Sold
 Breadon then cited the teams that featured Dizzy Dean, Joe MedWick, Johnny Mize and others yet could not finish in front
 We disposed of Dean, Medwick, Mize and other stars who felt they were more important, I might say bigger than the team," Keener quoted Breadon.
 When Morton decided to take his case in his own hands in Boston last week, well, there was only one thing for me to do for the good of our organization, and that was to trade Cooper.
 T dspsed of Cooper because I could not afford to let him dictate the policy of this office"

Jordan, Robinson Remotch Tuesday

Hartford, May 25-Welterweights Henry Jordan of Philadelphia and Art Robinson of Pittsburgh have been rematched once more for Tues day nights feature ten-round box ing duel topping an Auditorium bill. They were to have remet here last week, but the Quaker City clou- ter had to ask for a postponement because of a bad cold.
 Robinson took on and thoroughly whipped Sammy Mammone of Stamford instead. A few weeks ago artful Artie got a hotly disputed duke over Robinson here, decision that left house divided. The ver- dict loosed a torrential outpouring of hooting and whistling that lasted for several minutes, with apparently the greater portion of the crowd not seeing it the way the official of the night did.
 Surprise
 His decision over Jordan was the second 2-1 price upset the Smoky City battler scored here. A few weeks before that he came in and upset Jack Larrimore, welterWeight champion of the south. And before that he had given Red" Doty a rousing struggle being stopped in the final heat of an eight-round on a Willie Pep card.
 The sharpshooting Jordan scored a surprise the night he defeated an 8-5 favored Doty here. The Phila- delphian is a crowdpleasing per- former, ready and willing and daring mixer.

New York. May 25.-Unyielding ice vs. explosive dynamite will characterize the greatest man-to- man match in the history of golf over the week end when frigid Byron Nelson and temperamental Sammy Snead match strokes for the unofficial championship of the world
 It was suggested that this 72-hole encounter would mean as much to the links sport as a meeting between Joe Louis and Billy Conn in boxing
 But Ed Dudley, president of the Professional Golfers Association, said, it will mean much more" He said, T don't know if Louis and Conn are rated the greatest fighters that ever lived, I doubt it. But there's no question in the minds e4 any golf experts that Nelson and Gnead are the greatest golfers that S.er stepped up to tee"
 Blond Craig Wood, the U. S. open champion for the duration, said,
 -hat's right. This is tops in golf the greatest match ever staged be- tween two men. Either of these contestants could have beaten any golfer that ever lived-the way both have been playing recently"
 Dudley and Wood were talking about the big match between Nell son and Snead that will be staged as follows: ID 36 holes of medal play at the Fresh Meadow Country Club, Flushing, N Y. on Saturday, and CD 36-holes of match play at the Essex Country Club Wes. Orange, N. J., on Sunday.
 Neither will receive a nickel for his efforts. You might say that they are playing for nothing" except the prestige of being acclaimed world champion. Such statement would be wrong. They are playing only to help provide golf facilities for men who have been wounded in the War-particularly for men who have lost an arm or a leg.
 Their match features a nation wide program of competition being staged over the week end by the Professional Golfers Association to raise funds for nine-hole courses at military hospitals throughout the nation. It is the big-gun in P. G. A. campaign of rehabilitation that may last for 10 years.
 Nelson pinAish blond master of the fairways, is favored at 8-5 to beat dark-haired Snead. the eX-hill billy. who is the games most deadly driver and pitch-shot artist Nelson is favored because he won eight oi the 7-winter-circuit tournaments in which both competed, Snead talk ing six. He is favored also because he registered an all-time low aver age of 68.23 strokes for 48 rounds of

Friday Fish and Chips
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Today's $64 interrogation is: whats happened to Happy Chand- ler?" There hasn't been a peep out of him in week. Must be very busy trying to square himself with the folks around his old Kentucky home, who told him off in several kinds of southern accent, when he was quoted as warning baseball players to keep away from race tracks, then okaying CLUB OWN FRS betting on races or attending them. Quite far cry from the action of the late Judge Landis who would not sanction Bing Crosby's purchase of some Boston Braves stock, just because Bing, one of the finest family men and in- dividuals in the entertainment world, happened to OWN a race horse or two. Seems as if Happy has gotten off to a very bad start in big league baseball, just because he loves to talk so much and have his opinions quoted in the newspapers. Basically, he has plenty of ability, but the sports writers have soured on him and adopted show me" attitude. Now, with baseball writers and racing people "sore" on him, the gentle man from Kentucky with two jobs and a ' year $35O,000 contract Is very much ''in the middle. . Maybe he doesn't givadam.

years, held that the struggle of the
common man in the Latin American
countries is hampered not only by
his own government but also by
United States business interests and
domination.
"The Good Neighbor policy has
done much to promote better rela-
tions between America and the
other Western countries she said,
but the United States has received
more than she has given since the
war"
Mrs Hoge believes the state de-
partment does not always back up
the Good Neighbor idea in its for
eign policy. She expressed admira-
tion for former Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, who was especially in
tereSted in Pan-American affairs.
DISCUSSION HELD
Following her talk an inform
discussion period was held. In an
swer to questions about the Act of
Chapultepec, recently signed in
Mexico City. Mrs. Hogc said it was
of great significance in military
affairs as it is sincere promise of
non-aggression. She is strongly op-
posed to the admission of Argentina
to the coming San Francisco con-
ference as she feels that country is
dominated by European nations.
Closing her talk, Mrs. Hoge asked
for more understanding of Latin
American affairs and expressed the
belief that Americans would see the
viewpoint of "the little countries"
If they would read and study about
Latin American relations.
