Cards Wallop Dodgers, 14-3; Brownies Win Mort Cooper Hurls Easy Victory Over Brooklyn Tuesday New York, Aug. 2 tl'l't The idea wu Inescapable today that the email crowd which saw Morton Cooper of the St. laiuis Cardinals beat his old enemy Whit Wyatt of the Brooklyn Dodgers. 14 to 3 yesterday. was in on the- end of a baseball era.

The Cards played their role as overlords of the- National league* to perfection, pommeling Wyatt and his four successors for 17 hits. Yet the idea persisted that the game found the Cards at their peak and the Dodgers at lowest ebb The Cards, liquidating some of their
