If the 50-year-old successful manager of the St Louis Card inals has made -up his mind, he's keeping It to himself. He said he would not reveal his selec tion until the day of the game. St. Louis fans are convinced that Morton Cooper, big. fast ball righthander, will get the assignment. The fans argue that Southworth - and the Cardinals must -win with' Cooper, a 21 game winner, or lose with him. Cooper will rest his ailing arm until the series. He says his shoulder no longer pains him and insists he'll be ready to try for some revenge against - the Yankees, who twice blasted him off the : mound In the 1942 classic' . ..
