THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1931 MT. LOUIS HOPES 70 TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP AT CONTEST FRIDAY Performance of ‘Pepper’ Mar- tin Without Parallel In Baseball History INS GAMES SINGLE-HANDED Wild Bill’ Hallahan, Superb Lefthander, Has Beaten Champs Twice Aboard the Cardinals Special Train Enroute to St. Louis, Oct. 8—(#)—The me man show that is the world series sf 1931 moved westward out of Ameri- League territory Thursday and nto the land of the St. Louis Card- Mals, practically the personal prop- rty of John Leonard “Pepper” Mar- Never in all world series history, 1ot even in the heydey of basebali's mmortal Babe Ruth hag a single i vidual so taken unto his own eage! Trepressible self a drama of the mag- itude of this world series struggle of the Philadelphia Athletics ana_the Red Birds from the banks of the Mis- Bissippi. Five games have been played since he world champion Athletics, over- iwhelming favorites to win their third straight crown and set a new record for series conquests, tangled for the first time with the National League champions a week ago in St. Louis. Today, as the series speeds westward, ie Cardinals lead three to two in games and restlessly waiting to ad- minister the coup de grace is. this same “Pepper Martin, just about the ause of it all. ‘There has been pitching, painstak- ling by the big moose of the Athletics, George Earnshaw, that for studied, painstaking brilliance has never been surpassed in these annual inter-lea- lgue struggles. The great warrior of the game, snarling, bitter, uncompro- imising Burleigh Grimes, hurled an- other two hit master-piece. And wild Bill Hallahan, a superb little left hander, round of face and frail of body, twice has conquered the cham- pions of the world, once without a tun, allowing only three hits, and again yesterday, 5 to 1. Martin Again Singlehanded Martin has won two of the three games that now belong to the Cardinals. In the first game, when Lefty Grove pitched a loose victory, he hit safely three times, drove in one run and scored the other. Personally he beat George Earnshaw in the second game, hitting safely twice, running bases’ madly, scoring twice. When the Cardinals were trouncing Grove in the third game, he led the way again with two hits. In Earnshaw’s great two-hit victory it was Pepper who got them both. But Wednesday, with the series deadlocked at two games all, the pres- sure on full, the Athletics hitting and fighting mad, tremendous advantage or virtual elimination hinging on vic- tory or defeat, this wild wahoo came into his absolute own. Instead of weakening, resting on the laurels already won, letting some- ‘one else go out there and win a ball game for a change, all Pepper did ‘was beat out a bunt, drill a single into left and hit the home run that smash- ed the gallant comeback of Waite Hoyt, veteran of a half dozen world series conquests with the New York Yankees. Moved up to fourth place in the batting order, the cleanup posi- tion, Pepper drove in four runs.. All told Pepper has driven in five runs, scored five himself, hit for a total of 19 bases and a grand aver- age of .667 for the world series so far. His 12 hits, four of them doubles, @lready equals the record for most hits in a world series. Opposed by the might of the Athletics, it has been fs amazing a performance as send- ing out one man to win a world war and having him do it. ‘Anyone’s Game * It was anyone's ball game Wed- nesday as Al Simmons, doubling to the scoreboard to open the second and smashing a single off Hallahan’s leg thletics and Cardinals ‘Pepper’ Burns ’Em Up “Pepper” Martin, who established a sliding home on Grimes’ s world's series record by connecting for his 12th hit Wednesday, is shown ingle in the fourth inning of the third game at Philadelphia. to start the third, was the particular thorn in the Cardinal southpaw's side. It took brilliant pitching and Simmons’ own foolishness on the base paths to avoid an Athletic score on the first occasion as Jimmy Foxx grounded out and Simmons, hurry- ing to get the tying run across, tried to score from second on Bing Mill- er's infield out. He was caught with fifteen feet to spare at the piate. Martin broke up the ball game in the sixth. With one out, Frisch doubl- ed over third base. Once more it was Pepper's turn and he walloped a nice outside ball into the stands. With that clout went the ball game, although Simmons singled to left, went to third on Foxx's single off Hal- lahan’s shin, and scored without op- Position on Miller's infield out in the seventh. Martin got that run back in the eighth by singling to drive home George Watkins, who had walked and stolen second. The A’s reached Hallahan for a total of 9 hits, 7 of them in the last three innings when the game was no longer in doubt. Martin will be unleashed on the Athletics again in the sixth game in St. Louis Friday. Burleigh Grimes, or Paul Derringer, will go after the final victory the Cards need to win the National Lea- gue’s first championship in five years. George Earnshaw is Connie Mack's likeliest selection. Saints Come Back To Take Contest From Rochester Beaten Four Times in a Row, St. Paul Comes Through With Victory Rochester, N. ¥., Oct. 8—(?)—The St. Paul Saints, champions of the American Association, may have to yield the “little world series” title to Rochester but it won’t be without a struggle. Beaten four times in a row and ap- parently on the run, the Saints came back Wednesday to trounce the In- ternational League champions, 9 to 3, and send the series into the seventh game. Despite their easy triumph, how- ever, the Saints still were in a pre- carious position. four games to two, needed to take only one more contest to clinch the title. St. Paul collected 14 hits off Bell, Smith, Hill, Judd and Starr in the sixth game and only Judd was effec- tive. | OUR BOARDING HOUSE AH ME ~THIS SEASON OF THe YEAR MAKES ME DEPRESSED! -~ ALAS we «Ho HumM-- 1 GUESS (T IS BECAUSE I MISS “THE GROUSE SHOOTING SEASON IN| SCOTLAND ~YES ~~ IT IS“THE CALL OF “THE MOORS “THAT AFFECTS ME! ~~ ENERY FALL I USED “10 “TAKE MY HOLIDAY AT THE ScoTTisd CASTLE OF LORD AVRLIFFE «AND AT DAYBREAK WE'D MOUNT OUR HORSES AND “TAKE “To “THE Save GROUSE ON “GAST FoR “HE OLD Bov= Brian (Slim) Harriss pitched steaqy ball for the Saints.

D., Oct. 8.—()—Reserves were given the most attention Wed- nesday at the North Dakota Agri- cultural college. The Bison reserves were thrown behind the first string line to run off plays preparatory to meeting the St. Thomas tommies here Friday night. Especially pleasing in the Bison camp was the work of Johnny Fisher, Fat Ellingson and Blair Seitz, reserve backs who probably will see a lot of action against St. Thomas. Fisher reeled off long gains on off tackle Plays, while Ellingson scored two touchdowns after catching passes. GH? j Seitz was plunging back of this star trio, driving hard on thrusts into the line for short gains. Seitz was almost unstoppable. A light drill is scheduled for the Bison as the final work before the St. Thomas game, and exery precau- tion is being taken to have the Bison ready for the Tommies who are ex- pected to be a severe test after the two hard games the Bison had against Minnesota and Wisconsin, a decided natural drop in effectiveness being looked for by the Bison tutors, Casey Finnegan and Bob Lowe. «Lehigh Joh Hopk: .

They must win the sixth game to- morrow at St. Leuis to prolong the fight but they are already talking about the fun they will have with the Cardinals in the seventh and decid- ing contest. To a man they consider the sixth game and another deadlock theirs for the simple reason they do not see how George Livingston Earn- shaw can lose. Connie Mack smiles and says “yes, I have a lot of confidence in George.” The players think Earnshaw certainly will pitch Friday and if he wins, they regard it likely the famous right- jhander will start the seventh game Saturday, with Lefty Grove in re- serve both days. Cochran Has Theory “The way I look at it,” said Mickey Cochrane today. “Earnshaw has 6 (Shown he can over-power the Cards—- that is, all but this Martin. He has shown he can do the iron man stunt. He told me Wednesday he felt like Pitching. He pitched successive games in both the 1929 and 1930 se- ties with only a day in between.” Earnshaw is one of the few who doesn’t participate in the general hi- larity of the world champions en route. Big George prefers relaxation and a quiet conversation to the bois- terous exchange of wise-cracks or a Poker game. He looks very much like @ great right-handed pitcher who felt confident he could “bear down”. on. the opposition and smother them whenever required. He's the one big reason why the A’s are still confident they will take two in a row and win series. You hear plenty about a young gent Leonard Davenport purchased a/named Martin in the gabfests of the world champions. “When Martin came to bat about ithe third time yesterday,” remarked Cochrane, “I said to him: ‘Say Kid, don’t you ever pop out?’ He came right back: ‘I’m just in there swinging and getting the breaks.’” New to Athletics it is a new exeprience for the A’s— this business of being raided, har- rassed and generally made to appear Mary Ellen Reese and Merlyn Wildfang spent the week-end at the jtination.
