CITY, 7510.7 4, 1942 THE SUNDAY NEWS AND TRIBUNE Page 9 Cardinal litters Gone, Southworth Praises Men Lanier Or Mori Cooper Hurls Today Cooper Confident of Win After Six Days Resl; Yanks Silent BY CHARLES DUNKLEY NEW YORK, Oct. 3-- (AP) -The boisterous, jubilant St. Louis Cardinals, their nervous tension entirely gone, are supremely they are on the march, with victory certain, and nothing whatever will stop them. That was the attitude of manager Billy, Southworth down the last player as they staged a ping celebration in their dressing room after blanking the New York Yankees, 2 tc 0, in the third game of the series today to move into a 2 to 1 lead. Southworth himself- was the authority that the Cards had been relieved of tension.

"But, mind you," he explained. "I ain't going to make any predictions. We've still got. to win two ball games. -The Yankees are tough there are no tougher and we've got to play to win." Southworth Praises Chandler Southworth Spurgeon Chandler's pitching, the pitching of his own victorious Ernie White, and the, marvelously thrilling, jumping, one catch Enos (Country) Slaughter made of Charley Keller's shashing drive in the 'seventh in- Slaughter, with perfect' timing jumped to make the catch with his gloved left hand as the ball was dropping into the crowded stands for a home run.

"That a thriller." South- worth said. "It would have gone into the stands for sure to tie the score. The grinning White, who held the Yanks to six hits, thought it the best game he'd pitched in his life. "Boy, I feel gooder as hell," he yelled. "It was the greatest game I ever hope to pitch." Cooper or Lanier Southworth said either big Morton Cooper, ace righthander, or Max Lanier, a lefty, would oppose 'the Yanks tomorrow.

He said he wanted 'to talk the situation over with Lanier tonight to 01earn how he feels' before reaching a decision. Cooper, a 22-game winner, with ten shutouts and only seven defeats, hopes Southworth will select him. The Yanks beat him 97 to 4, in the opening game at St. Louis. The 28-year-old Cooper is confident he can blot out that defeat.

"I had six days rest and didn't my. control," Cooper explained. 'Tve. got it 1 i Cooper is sure the Cardinals are on their way to the world's championship. "We've got the big edge said.

"They've to. win three out four' now." "We -haven't lost series since last July when Brooklyn beat us four out of five. It's damn tough to beat this club out of four." Yanks Silent Again In the Yankee dressing room, there was only silence as the beaten American League champions trooped in, grim-faced and M. A. Defeats St.

York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals should have no trouble getting back to St.

Louis next week--if the fortunes, of baseball extend the World Series beyond five games --on regularly schedules trains, the office of defense transport tation said today. The only restriction imposed on the ball clubs by ODT's recent time table freezing order is the ban against chartering entire cars for the teams. Simplest solution would be for the team's secretaries merely to apply for the necessary number of upper and lower berths, and there would be no government objection if this meant the addition of three, four' or five cars to a regular scheduled train, the one spokesmen said. Even if the addition of a second section to a regular train were required to carry the athletes, ODT under its order would interpose no objection if the train had run added sections 20 cent of the time in the last 90' days.

Yankee second baseman, who was batting star of the 1941 Classic, has failed six times in the three series games this year. The record is ten for a seven game series. The Missouri Military Academy Colonels, on a first quarter drive, handed the St. Peters High School Saints their second- successive setback yesterday 7 to 0 on a rain-soaked gridiron, before a small crowd. Leonard Schneiter, left halfback for the Cadets, plunged over his left "tackle from the one yard line to make the only touch down of the day, a few minutes after the game got underway.

The Petes elected to kick off in the opening quarter, and M.M.. took over on its own 39- yard line. On five successive first downs, the Colonels moved into scoring position with Schneiter carrying the mail for the tally. It was Schneiter, again, who passed to Burks for the extra point. In the second quarter, the Petes most of the play was confined to midfield.

Deeken, left half-back for the Petes, went out of the game twice on injuries. He was carried out in the middle of the third quarter when his right leg was hurt.

However, he shook it off and came back into the game several minutes later, only to be hurt again in the final period. the fourth i quarter, the Saints recovered a fumble by M.M.A. and -took over on the 50-yard stripe. However, the strong wall of the Colonels held and the Petes were forced to kick out. As the game ended, the Saints held the ball on their own 10- yard line, forced to that point by an M.M.A.

Whirly was slowly increasing his edge at the wire as he finished the two-miles in 3:21 3-5, running the last quarter mile in the good time of 25 1-5 seconds. It was double revenge for Whir- laway, for he not only kayoed the Sab, but at the finish he was nearly nine lengths in front of Townsend Martin's Bolingbroke, who handed him a whipping in North American record time on this same strip only a week ago.

Tigers Win 261o 13 Over Colorado 4000 Spectators at Game Kept on Feet During Struggle tor Victory BY FRANK HOOD COLUMBIA. Oct. 3--(AP) --Missouri punched out a 26 to 13 victory over a plucky Colorado team today in a game that gave few of the 4,000 spectators time to sit down between plays.

The handful of customers had hardly gotten into their seats when Don OHara, Missouri's junior halfback, ripped off his own left tackle and scampered 65 yards for the first score. The play was the first Missouri effort from scrimmage. The Big Six champions were on their way to another marker as the first period ended with the pigskin resting on the Colorado 37. As play resumed, Ralph Carter ripped 11 yards to the Buffs' 26, and then with Tiger fans sensing a route, Stan Hendrickson, Colorado's star left end, did a little scoring of his the famed Missouri formation. The 185-pound Buff Flanker exploded through the Tiger line, and literally stole the ball from Ervin Pitts who was attempting a toss off to big Bob Steuber.

The play was so sudden that Missouri could only look on as the rangy Hendrickson galloped 74 yards to even the count. Colorado set the Tigers back to their own 20 with a punt into the end zone. O'Hara swept his left terminal lor a 19-yard advance and Morton got a dozen more yards on. an end-around slicker. The Missourians then sent Steuber wide around the right sideline when he suddenly skidded to a halt, reversed his field and sprinted 53 yards to give the home team their sec- end marker.

The Buffs then went to work again with Maurice (Tex) Reilly tossing aerials all over the field, One sally was halted by a Missouri interception on the Tiger 39, but the Rocky-Mountain eleven got possession of the ball and Reilly Gordon Bumbard, reserve back, tossed for a 40-yard completion that reached the Missouri 18. Another pitch into the end, zone almost connected as the gun terminated the half. Missouri had their third score four minutes after the start of their own 33 the Tigers, with Junior Darr, O'Hara and Capt. Don (Bull) Reece alternating slashes, paused on the Buff 17 only long enough for 'coach Don Faurot to insert Steuber. Steuber faded back, spotted end Fisherman Wickett CORVALLIS, Oct.
