Who Won

> Walrus-eyebrowed, cautious Branch Rickey, 60-year-old creator of baseball's farm system and its No. 1 exponent during 22 of the 25 years he ran the St. Louis Cardinals: the general managership of the Brooklyn Dodgers; succeeding extravagant, rollicking Larry MacPhail, his onetime protege; for a five-year term; at a reported salary of $40,000, plus a bonus. The new Brooklyn boss has never watched a ball game on Sunday.

> Burly, righthanded, 28-year-old Morton Cooper, St. Louis Cardinals' pitcher: the annual Baseball Writers' award for the Most Valuable Player in the National League. In pitching the Cardinals into the World Series, Cooper won 22 games (as many as anyone in either league), ten of them shutouts.
