Cooper Brothers To Form Card Battery I First Brother Battery In Series History St. Louis. Sept. 30. — (I Pi —A couple ol nerveless country boy* formed the first brother battery in world series history today It was Morton Cooper. 29. on the throwing end. and Walker Cooper, 27. on the receiving end tor the St. Ixiulk Cardinal*. It was their first big money assignment, but neither expressed fear of the Yankees. “Nobody has beaten them in a world serie* since the Cardinals did it In 192 S and I think it is high time that we did ft again. ’ Mort said “They may be better than we are. but they'll have to show me they are." Morton* confidence was reflected in Walker's calm demeanor. Both confessed they never mi-sed a wink of sleep during the stretch j run when the Cardinals in a 431 day i drive under pressure wen 38 out of 40 games to win the National Vague pennant. ’ Morton said there wax not a ] great deal of difference between ( the Yankees and the Dodgers and that he expected to pitch about the same way to them as he did to Brooklyn. He beat the pressure-! seasoned Dodgers five times, shutting them out In three of the games. 1 The only game he lest to them was a seven-inning *even-hltter. which I was called because of dlmout regu- ' lation* along the Atlantic seaboard.) i The Coopers, who come from In-1 dependence. Mo., may furnish a* much color for the Cardinal* a* Dizzy and Paul Dean, the pitching I brothers, who led them in their ' 1934 serie* triumph over Detroit, j Like the Deans, the Cooper* are earthy youths. They talk with a countrified brawl and shy from crowds, publicity and night life, i 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 weakne*s«M of every major leaguer. He I is skinny, built like a pitcher and i used to be one. Paradoxically. Mori ton Is slab-should' red. weights 20 pounds mere than Walker and looks like he might be a first class catch-1 ! er. That i* the way the brother 1 battery began when playing pas ' ture baseball on Bundays in towns ( around Independence. I Then. Morton, who by his own ' admission think* slowly, garbled a ' play at the piste because he tried to catch a ball before the batter swung at it whl'e the runner from j third was stealing. The batter] nearly killed him with his *wing. I That play settleci matters. Morten i complained bee ause Walker's pitch was ’oo slow. Walker countered that Morton had misjudged the base tunner's intentions, so they] switched. Today, with the Yankees at bat. Morton may have hi* own ideas about pitching to tbem. But if Walker doesn't agree Mort accepts his brother's decision. That Is the way they work. “Time after time, I decide to throw a certain way, but Walker gives me a different signal.” Mor'■■li said. “That settles it because 1 what Walker »ays goe* ' ' CARDINAL RALLY IN (Coatlaaed From Pace 1) Slaughter struck out.
