TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1939 CARDS AND REDS: SETTING FAST PACE IN LEAGUE RACE ROOKIE PITCHER COOPER DE- FEATED PHILS FOR CARDS, AND TIMELY HITTING WON FOR REDS OVER DODGERS (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK. May 23.—St. Louis Cardinals, for whom most baseball experts predicted a sec- t ond division berth, continues to set the pace in the National League. Rookie pitcher Cooper turned in a victory against Phil- adelphia Phillies ‘yesterday aft- ernoon to kdep the Redbirds on top of the hepp. For ¢ight innings he set the Phils Bibs with eight hits, but in the ninth two men got on base with ndne out‘and, he gave way to Davis, who retired the side without allowing a hit. — In hot pursuit of the Gashouse Gang are Cincinnati Reds. hung up their seventh straight victory. Although Brooklyn Dodgers got as many hits as the Reds, the Ciccy boys batted the old pill when it meant runs, and therefore won the game, 6 to 3. Camilli, of the Dodgers, poled his seventh homer of the season. Lou Fette, starter on the hill for Boston Bees, and Big Bill Lee, opening pitcher for Chicago Cubs, failed to go the route yes- terday. These twirlers are rank- ed as the ade of their respective club. Each team annexed the, same number of safe blows, but the Bees produced five runs to the Bruins’ three. One the who of Cubs’ tallies was-a circuit clout ¢ by Hank Leiber. Bill Terry, manager: of: "New OBSERVATIONS FROM THE BLEACHERS By O. L.

Leo Gonzalez (Gopher). new Conch outfielder. cracked out a double and two singles in four tries in his first game in over a year in Key West. “Daddy” Louis Gonzalez, fath- er of Lucilo and Leo Gonzalez, both members of the Key We: team, was a happy old fellow as the youngest of his four sons came through with safe hits each time at bat. Leo was not credit- ed with a hit the third trip to the pan because the grounder, a swift one, went through legs. However, Daddy feels dif- ferent about it and in his mind the kid batted 1.000. Maro Hernandez... _caln, cool- headed third baseman of the Pi- rates, plaved a good game for the Bues at the hot spot, accepting five hard chances without a miis- cue.. Hernandez’ hot grounder to Albury in the sixth inning gave his club its first tally. Armando ‘Acevedo. who turned n or was about to re- z »ek, decided to play in e last game of the series, be- signed contract called aying urtil the termina- tion of the series. The rumor that he was to quit baseball was not a false one. League officials will meet to- morrow night and one of the important points to be dic- will be the appointment scorekeeper. The present scorer was hired by Roy Hamlin, then treasurer of the league, to work dur the post champion- ship ser With the end of the title series the duty of the scorer ceases. Something noticed in the first same Sunday between the Sea- food Grill nine and Blue Sox that has nat been seen here in a lorg time was the playing of three brothers im the infield. They were: Joe, John and Dick Navarro, who covered second, third and shortstop, respectively. Twenty years ago the Castillo brothers played the same posi- tons for the Key West Regulars and during or after 1929 it was the Acevedos. SHIPS MANY VIOLETS RHINEBECK, N. Y.—Ethel A.
