May 24—(HIP) — Rebellions Morton Cooper, key man in one of baselbaH’s greatest dynasties, left a tottering world championship St. Louis Cardinal team behind him today to seek his fortune with the perennial laggards of Boston—tihe Braves. iThe Ibig who walked out on the team he had led to three straight national league pennants, passed up a chance at a world series cut in a long and involved wrangle over a $1,500 a year pay raise, moving in with a team that hasn’t won a pennant since 1914 and hasnot beeh in the first division since 1934. •Whether the trading of Cooper to Boston for nondescript pitcher Charey Barrett and a reported SIOO,OOO in cash signaled tlhe breakup of the three-time national league pennant winners remained to be seen. Barrett, an off-and-on National league wayfarer since 1937, never has won more than 12 games in a season and usually has lost more games than he has won. iCooper, on the other hand, has been the National league’s most consistent winner for three straight seasons, during which he won 22, 21, and 22 games respectively. In 194'2 and 1943* he led in the number of victories and in 1942 when he was named the most valuable player, he had the top earned run average of 1.77. Q

Red Sox Rookie Pitches Fifth Win Os Season New York, May 24.— (UP) —As far as rookie pitcher Dave Ferriss is concerned, opposing batters are like so many names in a telephone directory, which is as good a reason as any today for his amazing success with the Boston Red Sox. The 23-year-old kid. apparently bent dn beating every club in the league on his first time out, is a little let down when he doesn't score a shut-out. He has beaten five different teams in as many games and has scored three shutouts, allowing only three runs in 45 innings and just 30 hits for an average of six per game. Beating the champion St. Louis Browns, 4 to 1. at Boston yesterday was no ordinary achievement, but Ferriss expressed disappointment, at the finish because he didn’t blank them. He didn’t miss by much, holding them to five hits and keeping them scoreless until the seventh inning when Mike Kreevich doubled and Gene Moore singled him home. The Yankees humbled the league leading Chicago White Sox, 5 to 3, at New York, making all their runs in the first inning to give Floyd Bevens his second win on a seven-hitter. \ Detroit defeated the Athletics at Philadelphia. 7 to 1. regaining sole possession of second place from the Browns.

Cleveland topped the Senators at Washington, 3 to 2, in a night game, putting over the winning run for pitcher Allie Reynolds in the seventh on a double by Don Ross, an error by Gil Torres and a single by Mickey Rocco. In the National league Van Lingle Mungo pitched one of the best games in his long career, giving the New York Giants a 2 to 0 shutout at Cincinnati. Mungo yielded only three hits and struck out 10 batters for his fourth victory. He also double home one of the two Giant runs. The Pittsburgh Pirates won a loosely played games in the 13th from the Boston Braves, 9 to 8, at Pittsburgh when Al Gionfriddo singled home Johnny Barrett. The Pirates should have won in regulation time but Lefty Al Gerheauser and his successor, Art Cuccurullo, both blew up in the ninth and yielded live runs to give the Braves a tie, Truett (Rip) Sewell, who retired the side with a double play on one pitch, went on to win the game. . > Rookie Jack Creel made a successful major league debut for the Cards at St. Louis, beating the Brooklyn Dodgers 11 to 1. Claude Passeau of the Cubs gave his ailing arm a successful workout against the Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago, winning, 5 to 3, on seven hits. Yesterday’s star: Van Lingle Mungo, comeback pitcher for the Giants, who went the route for the first time, in seven starts this season, blanking the Reds on three hits, 2 lo 0.

YANKEES DRIVE (Continued From One) southeast toward the rear approaches lo the city. This drive was aimed at completing the isolation of Shuri and cutting off retreat for the main ‘Japanese garrison. Resislance south of Vonabaru, where Maj. Gen. Archibald V. Arnold’s .seventh division was advancing along the coast and inland behind Shuri, was described here as “relatively weak' compared will! the stout defense of Shuri. Late reports received at Guam indicated the seventh has “improved its position’’ south of Yonabaru. In Naha, the marines were digging in on high ground on the south bank of the Asato 1,200 yards from the heart of the city under moderate small arms and mortar fire. They sloshed across the hip-deep, 50-foot-wide river in groups of six to eight beginning at 11:30 a. m. yesterday. Across tlie island, the seventh infantry division drove 2,000 yards into the Japanese flank from the east coast port of Yonabaru and was expected to reach a point due south of Shuri today. A junction of the two divisions would encircle Shuri and the bulk of the Japanese garrison of 30,000 in southern Okinawa. Complete conquest of the island, already being converted into a base for an invasion of Japan, appeared at hand. The Japanese still were fighting to the death and counterattacking with undiminished fury, but the shattering of the eastern and western ends of their line all but sealed their fate and brought the 54-day campaign to what may be its final phase, o Trade in a Good Towrn — Decatur

PRESIDENT TO FLY (Continued From Page One) stumbling block is whether independence for all dependent peoples shall be written in specifically as an objective. The big four sponsoring powers are being catechized by the otheis on Interpretation of the so-called Yalta voting formula for the security council. Under it Hie permanent members of the council would have a veto over virtually every decision and action of Ihe council. Twenty-two questions by the little nations on when and where that veto would be likely to be used still remain unanswered. The big powers’ answers will go far in determining to what extent the little nations will push their fight for modification of the voting formula, to which the big four are committed. It is possible that the answers will, by interpretation, so modify the formula that the little nations will abandon their fight. THREE CHANGES (Continued From Page One) three meeting. • Congress uniformly applauded the cabinet changes announced yesterday at Mt. Truman’s news conference. There were cheers for the announcement that responsibilities of the secretary of agriculture and the war food administration hereafter would be given one individual.

The three changes announced yesterday were: Attorney general Francis Biddle, Pennsylvania, to be succeeded June 30 by assistant attorney general Tom C. Clark of Texas. Secretary of agriculture Claude A. Wickard, of Indiana, to be succeeded by Rep. Clinton P. Anderson. D„ N. M. Anderson will take

! over as soon as Wickard can be i confirmed as rural electrification 1 administrator, a post to which the president immediately will nominate him. Secretary Frances Perkins, of New York, to be succeeded by Federal Judge Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Washington state. Schwellenbach. a staunch new dealer, was Mr. Truman's senate crony prior lo his nomination to the bench. Designation of postmaster general Frank C. Walker, of Pennsylvania, was answered last month. Ho will bo Kiiceeoded June 30 by a Missourian, chairman Robert E. Hannegan of the Democratic national committee.

AMERICANS NEAR (Continued From Page One) Licanan airfield, last Japanese-held airdrome on Mindanao. On Luzon, the 38th division began burning out the Japanese in lhe Marakina watershed hills east of Manila, using flame-throwing tanks and a catapult device which hurled barrels of jellied gasoline over hills and ridges into draws and ravines where the Japanese were entrenched. To the north of the 38th, the 43rd division compressed trapped Japanese near Ipo dam into a three square-mile pocket. Gen. MacArthur’s communique reported Australian and Dutch troops were continuing'mopping up operations on Tarakan off East Borneo. —o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
