This was the 100th triumph for the Cardinals and Cooper's Brooklyn was beaten in the first game 7-3 and the defeat was all the more humiliating because Whitlow Wyatt, the Dodgers' No. 1 star, was knocked out in less than four innings when Danny Litwhiler and Nick Etten hit home runs, the latter with two aboard. Credit for the victory went to Buck Newsom, self styled pennant insurance for the Dodgers, pitched six-hit ball to win the nightcap 4-2 and kept Brooklyn's pennant hopes from dying.
