Dodgers Still Testing Young Ball Players New York, May 10 — (VP) — Does Branch Rickey have so many potentially good young players he has to loqk at — and perhaps to peddle or option — that he can’J always give his established stars their rightful spot in the Brooklyn lineup? The Dodgers still have 34 players on their roster and they must trip that number to 25 before May 15, the deadline ofr getting down to the limit. After that they have one more month until June 15 in which they still can trade or sell players to other dubs in the National League. So the pressing problem for manager Burt Shotton is to use as many of his kid players as possible, and if they aren't of major league 15, the deadline for getting down to one of the various Dodger farm clubs. Thus far this season the Dodgers have lost nine games and four of these defeats have come in games where rookie pitchers werp started and given a good going over by the opposition. In no case has a rookie starter been able to complete a game. Jack Banta has been batted out twice, and Morris Martin, Paul Minner, and Clarence Podbielan once each, while Johnny Van Cuyk has been batted freely in relief. Yesterday, it was Podbielan's time for an airing and he promp ed the most explosive batting display of the season hy the Cardinals. They got 15 hits in a 14 to 5 rout that dropped Brooklyn to third place. Six pitchers paraded on and off the mound as the Cardinals, with rookie Eddie Kazak and Tommy Glaviano hitting productive homers, coasted to triutnph. Kazak batted in five runs with his grand slam homer and a double and Glav...I! «

Morion Cooper Is ‘ Released By Cubs , I V New York, May 10 - (UP) - „ Big, burly Mort Cooper thought- v fully fingered his release from the c Chicago Cubs today and blurted, “Through? You betcha lite I'm not c through. I've got more guts than c that." | g His apple-cheeks were more] ; flushed than usual. There was a], tense quickness about his voice, s normally a lazy Missouri drawl. His ? eyes were narrowed with determination. f “1 know I can still pitch as good t as ever. 1 want to go some place t ... 1 can't tell you where ... and I want to work my arm back in shape." 1 Once a member of baseball's 1 most famous brother battery, the f National League's most valuable 1 player in 1942, a 20-game winner 1 for three years, Cooper had failed ' on the first leg of his comeback trail. He lasted less than a third of an inning in his only start of the season —a game against . Brooklyn Saturday in which he I gave a walk, a wild pitch, a single I and a home run to the only men ’ who faced him. The Cubs last night gave him] his release. "After I get my arm in shape. I want to come back at the end of < the year, preferably with Chicago, 1 and prove 1 still have my stuff," he said. “I want to pitch in just one game to show everybody that I still have it. Why, I’ll even sign a one-dollar con'ract with any I club that'll take me on to prove I still can pitch.” Back in the period from 1938 to 1945, when he starred as a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals with I brother Walker Cooper catching, ' Mort was on top of the world. He won 22 games in 1942, 21 in 1943, and 22 in 1944. But in 1945 he started downward. Mort turned up with bone chips in his elbow, and was traded to the Braves and then to the Giants. He was released by the Giants in 1947. Cooper underwent an arm operation, and then was signed by the Cubs for a comeback. "I sort of expected the release,” ] Mort admitted sadly. "But I'll be back — and in the big leagues. I know ifi my own J mind that I can make good."

Durocher Accuser Hailed Into Court New York, May 10—(UP) —Fred Boysen, the 22-year-old Brooklynite who accused New York Giants manager Leo Durocher of assault, was out on bail today facing charges of purse-snatching. Boysen appeared in magistrate's court yesterday to withdraw his charges against the Giants manager. As soon as he did, Mary Ryan, a registered nurse, stepped forward and accused Boysen of snatching her purse containing sll2 March 27. She said she recognized Boysen from pictures which appeared in the newspapers in connection with the Durocher case. Kangaroos have shrunken.

0 I Today's Sport Parade I By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) j 0 : 0 New York, May 10 —(UP) -The slow-starting St. Louis Cardinals were being written off the National league hooks today as the “nine old men of baseball" but slugging Stan Musial scoffed at reports that one of the game’s grandest dynasties was ended. They are saying around the league that age has rusted away the team's brilliance, that the club is coming apart at the seams and that this season definitely will mark the end of an era for the Redbirds. The talk is having its effect on manager Eddie Dyer even though he professes that he “never reads newspapers." Dyer several times has been on the threshold-going cut, and this conversation of catastrophe can't make him feel any more secure. But Musial. the club’s big gun. will have none of it. “Old men?” he laughed. "Well, Enos Slaughter is only 33 and he’s the oldest of the lot. And I'd like to have nine “old men" just like Country." • Running over the roster of the regulars emphasizes Musial's contention. Marty Marion and the armailing Whitey Kurowski are only 31, Ron Northey is 29; Musial and Erv Busak are 28; Rel Schoendietst and Del Rice are 26, and Joe Garagiola is only 22. Musial, one of the game's gaudiest hitters, blames himself for the club’s slow getaway this season. ‘T'm not hitting," he said. “If I do, we’ll be in there. My timing has been off and I’m hitting at bad 1 balls but I’m starting to get my

He has ; ■ had two “bad” years since becom- . j ing a regular in 1942-hitting "only ■ j .315 in 1942 and .312 in 1947. I “We need pitching,” Musial ad- . mitted, “But I haven't seen anyj thing this season I don’t think we can beat. The Giants are getting' 1 good pitching-at the moment.
