Cards Even With Mort Cooper Cooper, Under Grief Off Old Yankee Jinx; Marion, Sanders Homer By JUDSOK BAILEY Associated Press SporJs YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Oct. 6. In a stirring drama, the full story of which was unknown to most of the 68,578 fans, big Morton Cooper pitched the St. Louis Cardials to a 4 to 3 victory over the New York Yankees in the second game of the World Series today only a few "hours after the sudden death of his father. Mort and his brother, catcher Walker Cooper, learned of their loss late this morning, just before they led the Redbirds back into this big concrete arena to seek atonement for yesterday's 4 to 2 opening triumph by the Yanks.

Under these tragic circumstances Mort went to the mound with calm courage and proceeded to prove that he-is the great pitcher that his record in the National league for the'last two years indicated. He suppressed the Yankees on six hits, none of them for more than one base until the ninth inning, allowed only one walk, and hurled himself out of trouble on The Box Score the few occasions he found himself in a jam. It was a great show that erased all the black marks which had been placed against him for two Ts'EW TOBK, Oct. 6 pitching the St. Lonis Cardinals to victory over the New York Yankees In the second World Series game today, Mort Cooper announced be would try to at once for independence, assist In arrnjements for the fnner- of bis father, who died this raorn- Inf.

In contrast to Tuesday's hump- ty-dumpty performance, the other Cardinals supported Copper with a thrilling hitting and field- Ing display in which Martin Marion and Ray Sanders stole the Yankees' thunder by hitting two crashing home runs in the early innings against Ernie (Jumbo) i Bonham. The only hit by either team in the first three frames was Marlon's smash into the lower stands in the left field corner on Bonham's first pitch in the third. the Redbirds ripped over three more runs in the fourth on a sharp single to center by Stan Musial, a sacrifice by Walker Cooper, a single to center by George Kurowski which brought Musial home without even drawing a throw, and Sanders' line drive homer into the lower right field stands.

Tech Drills For Tulsa Invasion Seeking to perfect a defense that would stop the Tulsa University grid machine Saturday night at the Texas Tech Red Raiders worked Wednesday afternoon on defense against Tulsa offensive styles. The Red Raiders are also trying to come back in the won and lost records and reach the :500 mark with a victory over Coach Henry Frnka's Tulsa eleven. To date the Red Raiders have beaten Lubbock Army Air Field, then lost to Aggie elevens from Oklahoma and Texas.

In one appearance this year, Tulsa rolled up over the Southern Methodist University Mustangs and enjoying a rest last week. Most of the work Wednesday afternoon was on defense against the famed Tulsa aerial game that has seemed to have suffered but little with the loss of AU-Anser- k-an Glenn Dobbs from the Sugar Bowl Tulsa eleven. The Red Raiders were showing up well in the role of defenders against reserves running from Tulsa formations. Texas Tech will have one more workout on the some field before leaving for Tulsa early Friday morning. Coach Dell Morgan had not named the traveling squad that will make the trip to Tulsa, and indicated that it would not be completed until after Thursday's practice session.

With the exception of Bob Brewer, regular backfield ace, the Red Raiders will be in top condition for the game. Brewer injured His ankle last week at San Antonio in the game with Texas A. M. and has been on crutches all week. LUBBOCK AVALANCHE PAGE EIGHT.

It was a suitable finish for a stirring, heart-warming job by Cooper, whose chances against the Yankees even without the pressure of a death in the family had been in doubt because of his showing in the last series, when the Bombers pounded him for 17 hits in a total of 13 innings in two games. Aside from the two scoring innings, the apple-cheeked St. Louis star was in trouble just twice and worked his way out almost effortlessly.

In the fifth inning with one out, Gordon singled to center and sped oh to second base as centerfielder Harry Walker fumbled the ball momentarily. Walker quickly made up for this lapse by making a spectacular catch of a long fly by Tuck Stainback 6n the next play, and Bonham was an easy in? field out.
