Sporf Parade
By Oscar Fraley
(United Hrmu Slxirti Editor)
New York, Aug.'ll ilPi It was
only one line in the official bulle
tin put out by Commissioner A.
B. Chandler but it told a sadly
nostalgic story of how quickly
2ven the storied stars can plum
met Into tiie biack pit of baseball
oblivlen
It simply said: "Unconditional
release New York: Morton C.
Cooper."
Six words and an initial. That
was the .-terse eulogy for the
bluff, jovial Missouri farm boy
who rode to fame on a blazing
fast ball; reached his greatest
heights in the world series a few
hours after his father died, and
then, in f ie twilight of his ca
rear, went out in a strange uni
form to beat his ancient rivals
and win one more p?nnant for
the old team which had cast him
off.
Mort Cooper went out by lay
ing aside the flannels of the New
York Giants. Before that he had
shouldered the spangles of the
Boston Braves. But Big Mort's
story is one of the brightest chap,
ters in the hectic history of the
St. Louis Cardinals. It is as a
Cardinal he will be remembered.
The rest Is addendum.
Cost Club $75 '
For Mort and his catcher broth
er, Walker, came out of the little
Missouri town of Atherton to key
stone a Cardinal era. Together
they cost the club the grand
total of $75. It was their work
which won three Redbird pen
nants and when they left they
brought $200,000 on the open
market.
Flamboyant and swashbuck
ling, Big Mort would have fitted
well in the old gas house gang.
As it was, he -became the new
Spirit of St. Louis in 1942 when
he was voted the National
league's most valuable player by
winning 22 games. He led again
in 1943 with 21 victories and
copped another 22 in 1944 as the
Cards won their three flags in a
row.
Yet always he had trouble with
the rival American league. He
lost one series decision in 1942
and was knocked out of a second
game. And twice those booming
American league bats cut him
down in the all-star game.
It was a balmy October morn
ing in 1943 when he was slated
for his fifth try. The Yanks had
won the series opener and it was
up to Big Coop to even It up.
Then came the word that his fath
er, a pal who had molded the
brothers' love of baseball, had
died back in Missouri.
Win for Pop
Seventy thousand fans jammed
Yankee stadium as Mort and
Walker, left alone in the club
house by their sympathetic mates,
shook hands and walked down the
dark tunnel to the field side by
side to "win one for pop."
They did. The Yankees threat-

ened with a two-run rally in the
ninth and it was Walker, the
rawboned catcher, who pulled it
out of the fire -by catching a
twisting, screammg foul fly just
before he toppled Into the dug
out. So Mort finally beat the
rival American league, 4 to 3.
He lost another later, and split
in two starts in 1944. But that
first triumph was the big one.
Arm Goes Bad
Mort's arm started to go bad
In 1945 and he was traded to Bos
ton. He had only a mediocre
year, was just so-so in 1946. But
the Cards, his old club, were in
another heated battle to the wire
with the hated Dodgers. And on
the last day of the season, Big
Mort walked out there and blew
the Brooklyns down for auld lang
syne. It gave his, old Cardinal
mates a tie and off that lift
won the first playoff in National
league history.
ForMort last season it was on
to the Giants and he had a miserable-
year. So this season he
called it quits, changed his mind
and then filed in a comeback.
Now he was just a portly man
with a pocket full of dreams,
a forlorn, almost forgotten fig
ure at 34.
The arm is gone and so is
Mort, but both of them left gold
en memories. Somehow, six
words and an initial didn't seem
enough.

June 10 when the Yankee farm
club was wallowing around in the
second division. On June 14 he
showed his f ist signs of genius
at the plate by getting five hits
in five times up. Another time
he went "66" against Salt Lake
ineiitding two triples, a double
and a three singles. A few
weeks later at Billings he again
got six for six.
Some of the old-timers around
this loop thought DeVine had
holes in his head when he signed
up Jacobs, who is a lazy-appearing

the corpulent side even for sand

But they were figuring with
out tiiklng Into account the prop
erties of heritage and early train
ing. Young Ray comes from a
baseball family. His father, Ray,
5:. managed the Twin Fulls Cow
boys in 1940. Ray was one of the
top minor league sluggers in his
day and had a short whirl In the
majors.
If Ray, Jr., comes through, It
will be one of the few cases In
history where the son of a base
ball star was better than his
father.
The lad thinks the luckiest day
of hij life was when DeVine look
ed him over.
"It was the best thing ever to
happen to me," he grins. "I got
on with a good outfit, and more
than that, I got one ofithe best
coaches in the business In Char
ley Metro."
. Metro, who is player-manager
of the Cowboys, formerly was a
crack outfielder with Oakland of
the Pacific! coast league. He
works out every day with the
hefty young slugger and also
concentrates on getting the boy
into base-running shape.
The last item has paid off, too
- Ray, Jr., now leads the loop In
stolen bases with 14. He's not
too fat any more just too fast!
