BILL SOUTHWORTH
IS SUCCESSFUL
Walker Cooper Aids Brother
In Tielng Series Rookie
Brazle Today.
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Correspondent
New York. Oct. 7 U,FS
Bill y-The -Kid Southworth,
gambling fearlessly ior world
series gold and glory, completes
today two of-the most dramatic,
quick-succession fliers in base
ball history, as ne senas jkookib
Alpha Brazle to the mound.
Southworth won against the
odds In story-book fashion yes
terday when he risked the griei
stricken Cooper brothers as a
battery to power his Cardinal
. machine against the Yanks in
the classic's second game.
No one knew better than
Southworth the chance he was
taking when he permitted Mort
and Walker Cooper to go out on
the Yankee Stadium field before
nearly 70,000 persons, just few
hours after the death- of their
father in Missouri. The percent
age against Bllly-The-Kid was
Increased by the fact that Pitch
erMort was recovering from 4
cold in his shoulder and by the
widespread belief that he was
allergic to American league bats
men who had humbled him on
four previous occasions.
Billy Confidant
But Southworth, confident of
his judgement of men, took the
big gamble and won, as the
Cards defeated New York, 4-3,
to even the series.
Today comes the ' other
scenario-script venture when he
sends to the hill Southpaw
Brazle, a 29-year-old rookie
with only a half-season of major
league experience under hi cap,
' Thi is a greater gamble than
when Southworth, in last year1
aeries with the Yanks, chose
Rookie Johnny Beazley to pitch
the second game. Beazley had
been with the club a full season:
he had won 21 and lost six for
a percentage of .778, the best in
the circuit. Beazley, now in serv
ice, won that game and the final
xlfth contest.
Brazle, a willowy left-hander
who lives at Cortez, Colo., gained
Southworth'a confidence by his
exceptional success since he
shifted to the Cards from Sacra
mento of the Pacific Coast
league in mid-July. His sldearm
"heavy sinker" enabled him to
register eight victories against
two defeats. - National league
batsmen could do little with his
Inker, except bounce it around
the infield now and thenpro
viding meat for speeds Slats
Marion and Lou Klein.

NOT TO MISLAY
SECURITY CARD
With thousands of hleh school
and college students returnlne
irom summer jobs, the Federal
Social Security Board has
those who have been issued soc
ial security account cards to
keep them carefully In order to
avoid delay In taking another
job at the next vacation season

school year.
Severe labor shortage in the
western states now offer many
opportunities for young people
to work, Charles L. Maglnnis,
manager of the Klamath Falls
office , of the Social Security
Poard, said today.
'' "Since all Job in stores, of
fices and other business and In
dustrial concerns are covered by
the Social Security Act, It- is
necessary for the worker to
present his social security ac
count card before taking a job,"
Maglnnis said. "This require
ment applie regardless of the
worker's age. If the card is lost,
the board's Klamath Falls of
fice at 208 N. Seventh street will
issue a duplicate card which
will have the same account
number, .but this may delay the
worker' acceptance of a new
job." ' .
