RTT Cooper Holds Dodgers For Seven I n n i n g s Wyatt Hurls 3 Hit Ball. By J. H. Anderson St. Louli, Sept. 13. (JPh Brooklyn'! doubling Dodgen bait fighting Cardinal team 1 to 0 today behind the superla tive 3-hit pitching of Whitlow Wyatt to bound two gamei head in the nerve-racking Na tional league pennant race. Consecutive two-baggert by Dixie Walker and Billy Heiman in the eighth, the first hits off tout-hearted Mort Cooper, de cided one of the most spine tingling contests ever played in 6portsman't park. For seven innings Cooper held the Dodger sluggers help less, although three walks in the sixth put him in spot. He pulled out by forcing Lou Kiggs to ground out. . But his courageous pitching was no greater than that of the Brooklyn ace righthander whu notched his twentieth victory. Wyatt ran Into his real tight pot in the fifth when Creepy Crespi's double, the first hit for the cards, and Pee Wee Reese's error placed runners on second and third with none out. He struck out Gus Mancuso and Cooper and made Jimmy Brown roll to Dolph Camilli at first. Reese Errs Reese erred when he took Marty Marion's grounder and In trying to catch Crespi at third hit the runner in the hack, and the ball bounded crazily toward the Card's dugout as lanky Marlon sped to second. Except for five passes, not a Brooklyn player reached first on Cooper for seven frames. The righthander who was out of action more than a month In the heart of the season for a chipped bone operation seem ed headed for the perfect game which is every pitcher's dream. Then it faded quickly. Johnny Hopp, fleetest of the Red Birds, tried hard to nab that long blow to deep center which broke the spell, but it could not be reached, and when Herman hit to the center field wall It was all over. The game which was watched by 32,681 paying customers who filled nearly every available teat, was equal In excitement to any world aeries contest. The fans were on edge to the very end of the 2V hour struggle. R. H. E. Brooklyn 1 3.1 St Louis .. 0 3 0 Wyatt and Owens, Cooper nd Mancuso. BOTH LOSE TILIS Hollywood, Sept. 13.

Williams maintained a steady pace and today had .410, one point less than a week ago. while Cecil Travis of the Wash ington Senators moved from .360 to .361. Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees finally got back into action after a long layoff because of an Injury, but his average remained unchanged at .336.

The Pelicanr, who figure to battle it out with Medford's Black Tornado for the Southern Oregon conference crown, pre sented a big, fairly-fast eleven. The tackling and blocking was rather ragged on the part of tooth teams, usually the case in first games, but all in all the Klamathites displayed promise of becoming a potent aggrega tion once the rough spots are eliminated. Klamath's first touchdown came midway through the third quurter when Jack Rich, left guard, picked up a blocked punt and raced 10 yards over the goal line. Edmundson convert ed. A few minutes later Eu gene Love, fullback, bucked over from the one-yard stripe after a 14-yard reverse placed the leather In scoring position The attempted placekick for the extra point was blocked, giving the Pelicans a 13 to 0 lead.

(JPy Sportsmen shooting on the Pa cific flyway face curtailment of their gunning unless the pro gram of the fish and wildlife service it found to provide ade quate protection for birds in mi gration and on wintering grounds. W. C. Henderson, acting di rector of the service told Sena tor McNary (R.-Ore.) thit week ''serious curtailment" of shoot ing on the Pacific flyway might be necessary. He made his state ment in a letter telling the sena tor the service could not justify the proposed opening of any part of the upper Klamath na tional wildlife refuge to public hunting. "The waterfowl situation in the Pacific flyway is more criti cal than most of the sportsmen of the general region realize," Henderson wrote. "In fact seri ous curtailment of shooting pri vileges in this region may be necessary unless the program of this service provide sufficiently adequate protection tor the birds frequenting this flyway during migration and wintering periods." Henderson said the fact large flocks of birds were seen in the region were misleading for they were forced there through agri culture and other developments depriving them of their usual grounds.

ANNOUNCEMENT w Br BiU King Brookline, Mass., Sept. 13. (A) Women's sports came up with another poker-faced cham- -pion today when attractive and ! impassive Mrs. Betty Hicks! Newell of Long Beach, Calif., j missed par by four strokes over I a 33-holet stretch at the Country i club while defeating Helen Sigel of Philadelphia, 5 and 3, for the national amateur golf title. The 20-year-old Mrs. Newell was down during only the first two holes of the scheduled 36 holes finals. Although she performed bril liantly this morning, getting a 77 for her first 18 holes, the new champion had only a one-hole margin on the much more spon taneous 22-year-old Philadelphia girl at the half-way mark, after being three-up at the 10th. When Mrs. Newell tossed away half of her lead by taking a ragged six on the 18th, where she was in the rough with her first two shots, Miss Sigel ap peared to be getting set for a mighty closing rally. That, however, was nipped in abrupt fashion as Mrs. Newell pulled into a three-hole lead by birdying the first two afternoon, holes. She became four up at the 23rd and she had all those holes to her credit when she completed her third nine of the day in 36, one under par. Mangrum Leads Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 13.
