Big Coop, who popped off pub- licly atout his trials with the Ne rk Giants under Leo Duroch scunded off with his big bat yes- terday for his new boss—Bucky Walters—at Cincinnati, 3ix straight bace hits, including three three-run homers, added up to a big 10 runs batted in tor the Giant who went to Cincy for| Ray Mueller on June 14. Since Coop left the big town he| has been ‘nothing short of sensa- tional, bcosting his average 122 points and increasing his RBI's by 19. All this thumping doesn't make much difference at Cincy where the Reds have dipped into seventh | lace and are in danger of falling nto the basement, In New York, a Cooper hitting at . that pace could have made a contender out of the fifth-place Giants. The big fellow who cost Horace Stoneham $175,000 in January ot 1946 had the biggest day of his long career against the Chicago Cubs| yesterday afternoon. It was also the kiggest day for the Reds m many a day as they rolled up a 23-4 landslide for Ken Raffens- | berger’s ninth victory. PENNANT RACE ‘The heavy firing in Cincy over- shadowed the pennant race which almost—but not quite—resulted in a first place tie. Brooklyn’s one- game lead was cut in half when the Dodgers lost to the Boston but the runnerup S8t. Louis Cards blew a 3-1 lead in the last of the ninth and bowed to Pittsburgh, 4-3. As a result the Brooks still lead by a full game. Tommy Holmes sank the Dodgers with his third homer in the last three days. It came in the eighth with Jim Russell on base. Johnny Hopp was the hero of the Pirates’ ninth-inning rally against the Cards. His single with the bases loaded scored two runs for Pitt-burgh’s fifth straight victory. Murry Dickson, the ex-Cardinal who was sold to the Pirates for $125,000, accounted for his third victory, two over St. Louis, by an eight-inniing relief job. Dickson has lost 11.
