South worth Ponders on Card Pitching Problem Mort Cooper, Max Lanier, Al Brazle, : Harry Brecheen Considered for Series By CHARLES W. DUNKLEY ST. LOUIS SeDt. 30 IPi Billy Southworth, manager of the worlds champion St. Louis Cardinals, Is pondering the prob lem oi selecting nis starting pitcher for the opening game of the worlds series against the Yankees in New York next Tues day. It could be strapping Morton Cooper, leading the National league pitchers for the second successive year, or one of a trio of left handcrs. Max Lanier, Al Brazle or Harry Brecheen. The 29-year-old Cooper, a right hander, winner of 21 victories against eight defeats this season, is the logical choice, although he was twice blasted by the Yan kees in the 1942 classic. But Southworth is convinced Cooper is capable of defeating them. Cooper will be rested un til the series because of a pain ful soreness in his right shoulder. In five innings against the Bos ton Braves Tuesday, Cooper was clipped for six hits, four runs and issued five bases -on balls, three in one inning. He rarely grants that many passes in three or four games. He complained of his shoulder after the game. Southworth is not alarmed over Cooper's condition, and he believes he will respond to seven days rest. Southworth may switch to a southpaw because he reasons that the Yanks are experiencing some difficulty in hitting left handers. He may decide to open with Lanier, whose pitching has been better this season than ever before. Currently, Lanier has won 15 out of 22 starts. He worked in only three innings, pitched to eleven men, yielded two singles but prevented the American league champions from scoring in the 1942 series.

"1 "See...Hexol smells nice and fresh ...and don't your feet feel better?" "Mi.)if. I , Some observer believe that Ernie White, another southpaw, may be the surprise of the series. White has returned to sensation al form after occupying the shelf most of the season because of a sore arm. Southworth realizes he 'must choose the opening game pitcher with careful deliberation. That is because if the starter wins, he could come back again in the fifth game in St Louis. If the series went seven games, he also could start in the seventh and final game. . . History shows that seven pitch ers have won three games in single worlds series Bill Din neen in 1903; Christy Mathewson in 1905; Babe Adams in 1909: Jack Coombs in 1910; Joe Wood in 1912; Urban "Red" Faber in 1917 and Stanley Coveleskle in 1920.
