An unsung hero of Brewster high school's 1958 football team was honored Monday night as the outstanding player on the team. Awarded a trophy as the outstanding member of the club at a banquet held at the school was David Savage, senior guard and co-captain, who was a stalwart on the Railroaders' line throughout the campaign.

At the same time, Giles apparently is in opposition to commissioner For Frick's hopes for an expansion of major league baseball.

Giles said he favored coopera ion within baseball on all levels in player recruiting, and if necessary, in the subsidization of he minor leagues to guarantee a supply of talent for the majors. His views on a third major eague were a follow up to an announcement by the New York Mayor's Baseball committee last week that it planned to form a third league either within the present baseball structure or outside it, raiding the majors for players in an effort to regain two-team status for the city.

Giles originally answered that announcement by saying he did not believe New York could regain a National league franchise by threats. Frick is on record as being in favor of keeping New York open territory for a franchise in some subsequent expansion program. MORT COOPER LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Mort Cooper, fireballing Cardinals' righthander who with his brother Walker formed one of baseball's top batteries in the 1940's, died here Monday at the age of 45. Death was due to cirrhosis of the liver and staphylococcal infection.

He had been a patient at St. Vincent's Infirmary for about three weeks. FUNERAL HOME attendants said they understood the former St. Louis ace recently bought a home in Berryville, Ark. but had not yet moved his household goods'from Houston, where he had lived for five year.

Mort, a 6-2, 200-pouder, won 128 games and lost 75 in a 12- year major league career, first reporting to the Cards 21 years ago. In 1937, Cooper made the spring roster of the-Cards. He didn't stick, however, until 1939 when he had a 12-6 record. It was then that Mort began badgering the Card front office to keep an eye on another Cooper named Walker. Walker came to the Cards in 1940 and took over as the reg ular catcher in 1942.

He hurled a complete game in every contest that he won and led the major leagues in shutouts with 10.
