~ They Don't T. alk About The World Series Now In Flatbus

. Not Since the Cooper Boys Stopped Pennant Express, 1:0

By GEORGE KIRKSEY , United Press Staff Correspondent : NEW YORK, May 21.—World series talk subsided somewhat in

Flatbush today.

~The boys at Flynn's around the corner from Ebbets field agreed that maybe it was rushing matters a little to start comparing the Dodg-

ers to the Yankees this early after

all. Not that the boys are afraid the

Bums won't keep the pennant in Brooklyn (shuh, don’t mention. such a

thing if you expect to ever go back to the land of the Gowanus canal). But the Cooper boys of old St. Loo whittled the Dodgers right down to normal stature yesterday while 15843 pop-eyed fans sat amazed that such a thing could happen. The Brooklyn pennant express which had won eight-straight was careening along at the swiftest

- pace in Dodger history when the

J

A

switch was thrown on it by the big raw-boned Cooper boys. . Dodgers Helpless Morton threw a baseball past the Dodgers so fast it looked like an aspirin tablet. His battery-mate

"and brother, Walker, hit a line

drive triple and scored the only run in the Cardinals’ 1-0 triumph over the league-leaders. Mort, who has been staking some claims to the title of the league’s hardest luck hurler, never picked a better spot to hurl 8 masterpiece. Beaten twice already this season by 1-0, Coooper made sure he didn’t lose again by that score by holding the Dodgers absolutely helpless. He gave up two singles—one to Medwick and one to Herman—and only foug, men reached first. None got any farther. He walked one man and the other got there on a flelder’s choice. Cooper's mound rival was Whit \ Wyatt, who pitched well enough to win almost any game. He gave up four hits but one was Walker Cooper’'s blazing triple to the exit gate in eenter field. Cooper scored on Creepy Crespi’s fly to center. The Dodger defeat trimmed their league lead to six games over the Boston Braves and to six and a half games over the Cardinals, who have now run off four straight. The Yankees made sure of their American league lead by cooling off

Chicago's seven-game winning streak. Marius Russo held the White Sox to seven hits but Johnny Murphy helped him out in the ninth when he tired. Joe Gordon blasted two homers for the Yanks, After spotting the Tigers three runs the Athletics rallied to beat Detroit, 5-3, and. snapped. a sixgame losing streak. Lou Blair's ninth-inning triple was the decid-

only two hits in 7% innings of relief pitching to get the victory. ' Starr Wins No. 4 The St. Louis Browns beat Wash-ington,.10-1, in a night game at St. Louis last night before 4617. Al Hollingsworth held the Senators to six hits. Roy Cullenbine hit a homer off Wynn with two mates on in the third to break a scoreless deadlock. A walk to Paul Waner with the bases loaded in the tenth enabled the Braves to trim the Pirates, 4-3, and remain in second place in the National league. John Sain, who relieved in the ninth, won his second straight game in two days in the fireman’s role. Cincinnati pounded out 14 hits to beat the Phils, 10-3, as Ray Starr won No. 4. Rookie Roy Lamanno hit a homer with the base& loaded. Lou Novikoff’s single in the seventh with the score tied, 3-3, enabled the Cubs to come from behind and beat the Giants, 6-3. Claude Passeau helped win ‘his game with a homer with one on.

Yesterday's Heroes—The Cooper boys of St. Louis, Pitcher. Morton who gave the Dodgers but two hits,

and Catcher Walker who hit a triple and scored the lone run in the Cards’ 1-0 triumph over

the White Sox, 4-1, and snapping

Brooklyn.

Enter Intercollegiate Tennis Meet

Pictured above is the tennis teamp Coach Willard Umbreit of DePauw university entered in the state intercollegiate meet at Earlham college today. Victor Zink, Dick Fillbrandt, Merle Gulids, Claude Winkler and Norman Knights.

From left to right. they are Ned Johnson,

when he won a clear cut, 10-round York. Entering the ring on the short end of 2 to 1 odds, Christoforidis started slowly, but by the third round he warmed up and became complete master of his younger foe. The United Press score sheet gave him six rounds, Colan one and called three even.

Two-Fisted Attack

Christoforidis, who won New York commission recognition for ‘the world’s 175-pound title by beating Melio Bettina and then lost it. to Lesnevich, staged one of the best battles of his career to eliminate Colan temporarily from the ranks of top-flight. contenders. He never permitted Colan to get set and throw the damaging right hand that had won the New Yorker 38 victories in 42 previous fights. With a lightning-like left, Christoforidis first punished Colan with a relentless body attack. When the youngster abandoned his “stand up” tactics, the Clevelander rocked him with a two-fisted attack to the head. Christoforidis landed the hardest blow of the bout when he sent Colap sprawling in a neutral corner in the fifth round. The New Yorker was suspended on the ring ropes and no count was started. On two other .occasions the Greek appeared on the verge of scoring a knockout. Alley Feud

Midway in the sixth round he unleashed a two-fisted attack that drove Colan to the ropes and had him holding on. In the ninth, he tagged Colay with a left to the jaw. For a moment Johnny's knees buckled, but he clinched and weathered the storm. Colan’s only winning round was the second, when he landed a hard right to the head and forced OChristoforidis to retreat. The bout resembled an alley feyd at times. Referee Johnny Behr repeatedly warned the battlers about hitting on the breaks and on three|o occasions they continued to slug|® away after the bell. A crowd of 8708 fans paid $15,171 to see the fight. In the semi-final, Tony Motisi, Chicago, welterweight, decisioned |, Harry Teany of Cleveland in ten rounds. Booker Beckwith, Gary, Knocked f out Andy (Kid) Miller, Sioux old Towa, in the third round: Jackie |” Nichols, Cary, decisioned Chick Sancheg, Detroit, in a five-rounder, and Dennis O'Keefe, Chicago, took a four-round decision from Ted Lewis, Chicago, in the preliminaries.

Taulman Joins Navy’s V-2

Jack Taulman, age 26, of Columbus, one of Indiana's outstanding younger amateur golfers of a few years ago, has gone to the United States naval training station at Great Lakes, Ill, following enlistment at the Indianapolis navy ‘relcruiting station.

Taulman was state junior amateur golf champion in 1936, runnerup in the state amateur in 1938 and low medalist in the Indianapolis qualifications for the National Public Links tournament in 1939. He dropped tournament competition when he took a defense job with the Cummins-Diesel Engineering Co. at Columbus in 1940. He enlisted as an apprentice seaman in the navy’s class V-2, which earmarks him for aviation machinist's school. By coincidence, although neither knew of the other's plans beforehand, one of Taulman’s golfing friends, Curtis Rush, age 32, of Bloomington, enlisted at Indianapolis the same day. A registered pharmacist formerly employed in an Indianapolis drug store, Rush enlisted as a hospital apprentice second class.
