Cooper Duo Halts
Winning Streak Of
Brooklyn, 1 to 0
I Chisox Victory String Also
Broken, by Yankees, Paced by
Gordon's Two Home Runs
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
The combination of Morton
Cooper pitching and Walker
Cooper catching has become a
fearsome battery for the St. Louis
Cardinals and yesterday the boys
made a family affair of beating
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 10, in a
sizzling show at Ebbets field.
Mort pitched two-hit ball while
Walker tripled and scored the
only run of the game to snap an
eight-game Brooklyn winning
streak and shut out the National
league champions for the first
time this season.
It also was the first defeat of
the season for Wyatt, the Dodger
ace who had won two games pre
viously without looking nearly as
good as he did in losing this one.
He gave up only four hits, but
Walker Cooper's triple In the
fifth, followed by Crespi's fly to
center, decided the game.
St. Louis came close to moving
Into second pluce by the victory
over the Dodgers, but the Boston
Braves managed to remain a half
game in front by nosing out the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3 in, ten in
nings. The Cincinnati Reds crushed
the Phils, 10-3, with Starr pitch
ing a six-hitter.
Ott hit his sixth home run with
one on in the first inning to help
the Giants got a 3 0 lead for Car
penter in the first five frames
against the Chicago Cubs, but the
Bruins won out, 6-3.
Cordon Hits 2 Homers
The world champion New York
Yankees also halted the Chicago
White Sox' seven-game winning
streak, 41. Joe Gordon hit two
home runs to chase Chicago hum
bly back to the American league
cellar. Cleveland's game with the
Boston Red Sox was postponed
and thus the Yanks' first place
lead was swelled to 13 percentage
points although they are dead
locked in won-lost reckonings.
Air-tight relief pitching by Har
ris raised the Philadelphia Ath
letics out of the basement with a
5-3 decision oVer the Detroit Ti
gers,;who scored all their runs in
the first two frames and then
loaded the bases with one out 'in
the third. This was where Hafpis
came in, holding the Bengals
scoreless on two hits : the -rest, 'of
the way. ." i

sters finished their season last
week and the baseball players had

finishing touches on an undefeat
ed season to date.

Springfield once this year, 6-2, In
ft fiatch played here earlier but

this year. The locals expect to
close their season with two more
victories however.
Again the 'highlight match is
expected to be between Ward
Cummlngs and Ray Stratton,
leading players of Roseburg and
Springfield respectively. Stratton
won the last match . played In
three sets but only after a very
gruelling match. Players making
the trip tills week Include: Cum
mlngs, Campbell, Ness, Clark and
Moulding. Tennis Coach Schwarz
kopft will also accompany the
team on the two-nay jaunt. I
Seattle Loses To

ine ban Francisco Seals, re
cent cellar dwellers, routed Se
attle's three-time Pacific t-oasl
league baseball champions for a
double win last night to drop the
former league leaders into third
place.
Although the Seals collected
only eight hits they won the first
game, 9 to 2, as three Rainier
hurlers went wild to walk seven
batters. Joyce forced the Seattle
batsmen to space eight safeties.
Jansen, young Seal twlrler who
has been slow rounding into
shape this year, pitched four-hit
ball to nip the Rainiers, 4 to 2 in
the seven-inning nightcap.
The first-place Los Angeles An
gels Just managed to stave off
peppery Portland team in a 12
inning game which the last-place
Beavers continuously threatened,
but finally went down, 6 io 4.
Heavy-hitting Angel batsmen
collected 14 safeties off subma
rine hurler Llska and two more
on the offerings of Schafer, who
relieved in the closing frame.
San Diego moved a notch up to
second place in the standing af
ter a comparatively uninteresting
3 to 1 win over Oakland. Olsen,
southpaw hurler yielded the
Oaks' batters six hits while his
teammates pounded Yelovic, the
losing pitcher, and Glenn for ten
blngles.
Sucramento engaged In a slue-
fest with Hollywood and won 13
to 12 as the Solons cracked out
20 hits off three Twink hurlers
and Hollywood retaliated bv
blasting four Sacramento pitch
ers for 18 hits.
The Twinks had a really big
inning In the eighth when they
scored eight runs and just missed

chalked up.

Adolf Hitler's field headquar
ters pictured the Russians as suf
fering heavy losses as German
warplanes ranged over the Khar
kov battlefield in great numbers,
strafing and bombing the red ar
mies; ' - !
The German command said na
zl troops guarding the big steel
city, Russia's "Pittsburgh" in the
Ukraine, beat of powerful tank
led soviet attacks and destroyed
M more red army tanks. ,
Hitler s headquarters also re
ported strong Russian assaults
were developing in the bloody
Lake Ilmen sector, 130 miles
south of Leningrad.
Axis dispatches from Buchar
est asserted that German-Rumanian
counter-offensives had slow
ed the Russian drive upon Khar
kov In "a battle of extreme vio
lence" but acknowledged that
massed soviet forces were smash
ing violently at many places be
low Belgorod, 50 miles north of
Kharkov.
Slaughter Is Heavy
London military quarters said
the northern wing of Marshal
Tlmoshenko's armies were pres
sing forwnrd relentlessly upon
Kharkov, although at a some
what slower pace, while the sou
thern wing was apparently check
ed.
At midday, after bitter all-night
fighting, soviet headquarters an
nounced: "Our troops continued offensive
battles in the Kharkov direction.
"The Germans, disregarding
enormous losses, have made counter-attacks
attempting to hold up
the offensive of our troops. These
attempts of the enemy are being
defeated, and the Germans are
suffering huge losses in manpow
er and equipment."
In one sector alone, the com
munique said, red army troops
killed 700 Germans and captured
quantities of booty.
Fierce battles also raged on the
Leningrad front, where the Rus
sians said they had cut the road
between "two enemy centers of
resistance" and killed 600 Ger
mans attempting a counterattack
to restore the broken communica
tions. Kerch Battle Not Ended
Bucharest reports countering
the German high command's
claim that the battle of Kerch
was "concluded," admitted that
soviet troops were "still fighting
with sharp resistance at many
points" in the eastern Crimea.
As the Russo-German cam
paign rounded out Its 11th month,
Helens Marshal Goerlng told Ger
man workers In Berlin that this
war Is the hardest Germany has
had to fight."
Goering said Hitler had suffer

yield" because "behind us there
was only a heap of ruins . . . .
therefore we had to hold the

ere for 60 days except for deliv
eries to the army, navy or marl
time commission.
Some officials at WPB, sharply
critical of what they described as
war department "shotgun meth
ods, said the "freeze" affected
private as well as public construc
tion. For example, farmers who
cannot ship grain to already-filled
elevators will be unable, in
many sections of the country, to
build bins for their spring wheat
crops.
Remedy Promised
It was Indicated that the order
was rushed through WPB's lum
ber branch under army Instruc
tions before high-ranking WPB
officials realized its full effect.
There certainly was no Inten
tion of stopping defense housing,"
James S. Knowlson, director of
industry operations, declared to
day, "and something will be done
about it."
Some amendment would be
drawn, it was understood, to per
mit continuance of "essential" de
fense housing, at least. Defense
housing officials now are engaged
in a review of all products, plan
ned and under way, to establish
their own priority list.
If projects were stopped too
long, officials feared, contractors'
crews would be broken up by
workers seeking other jobs and
the work of shipyards, aircraft
plants, and other vital facilities
would be Impeded by lack of
housing for employes.
Army Held Remiss
The only lumber still available
for such projects is in retail
yards, and It was reported the
army had bought up some 2,
000,000,000 feet of these stocks
since March.
Authoritative WPB officials de
clared that the army, although
warned months ago that it should
begin stockpiling lumber for the
cantonments in which it will
house its multi-million-man new
army, had failed to do so. Recent
heavy demands for wood as a sub
stitute for scarce metals suddenly
left the war department faced
with the possibility that supplies
might not meet Its demands
and the 60-day "freeze" was de
cided upon.
The army's requirements, even
at the end of the 60 days, will not
have been filled, officials report
ed.
Violations To Be Checked
Three thousand government ex
aminers have been assigned to
check on violations of the con
struction stop-order in all parts
of the country, the war produc
tion board announced yesterday.
The examiners, borrowed from
WPB from the home owners loan

permits in every principal city
and gather information from
building supply companies, labor
unions and any other available
sources of information, WPB
said.

Senate Votes to Build

WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP)
The senate voted $50,000 today
to build a 25-mlle long barbed
wire fence along the Mexican
border west of El Paso, Texas, al
though Minority Leader McNary
(R.-Ore.) questioned the wisdom
of using essential materials for
such a project.
"How does this jibe with our
good neighbor policy toward
Mexico?" McNary asked when
the Item came up.
"We want to keep the good
neighbor policy on both sides of,
the border," retorted Senator Mc
Carran (D.-Nev.).
"Is the fence supposed to keep
out smugglers or cattle?" Mc
Nary asked.
"Smugglers." McCarran said.
"Well," said McNary, shaking
his head, "it must be quite a
fer.e."
