It loomed as one of the “naturals” @ sporting decade, whether Earn- aw went back to the firing line for e Athletics today to check the St. yuis Cardinais or was withheld for possible seventh game, Saturday, on e theory Lefty Grove could be de- snded upon to beat Paul Derringer vain and square the count at three mes each. ‘The Martin bomber, leader of the ardinals’ flying squadron, twice has' own into action against Earnshaw, e famous righthand ace of the orld champions, in as dramatic a sel show as the national game 1s" m since Walter Johnson ied the Senators through to vic- ty in 1924. They have broken even, so far as 1e results are’ concerned, although ‘artin has had much the better of ve duel, so far as his personal score sainst Earnshaw is involved. Figure Chances It was not in the least strange, her to the excited local populace * the national baseball public at tge, Friday to figure the chance of te high-flying Cardinals and the arassed Athletics in terms of Mar- a and Earnshaw. ‘Earnshaw was the hero of the 1930 orld series. Martin is the hero of the 1931 aies by so many kilometers, up to) ate, that even the peerless Paavo urmi would hesitate to run them. here has been nothing in all the istory of baseball like this youth's mpage at bat and on the bases, ith the game’s highest honors at ake. The truth about Martin, as 10st everyone score by now, is ranger than fiction. He has tied two world series bat- ng records. He has an excellent 1 to break six records, unless mshaw or Grove contrived by “-™iracle to check this “Wild corse of |the Osage” this afternoon. ‘either has done so, thus far. ‘The Cardinals relied on Martin nd their other outstanding “fresh- ,” Derringer, right-handed pitch- :, to beat Earnshaw, Al Simmons, e rest of the Athletics and give St. quis, as well as the National League, ¢ world championship in five Cards Lead The Cardinals returned from the ast, leading by three games to two, tter a succession of thrilling en- agements with the club that has “een called the greatest Connie Mack ver put together.

The American Association titlehold- ers, facing elimination for two days, were only one game behind the Red Birds after Thursday's 9-5 victory. Two triumphs had cut Rochester's margin from four games to one to 4-3. With chilly weather holding the crowd down to 1,600, the Saints step- ped out behind the steady pitching of Walter “Huck” Betts, and pounded four Rochester pitchers for 17 hits, scoring in 6 of the 9 innings. Betts puzzled the Red Wings with his smart change of pace and kept them well under control until the ninth inning when Paul Florence walloped a homer with two on base. Betts also hit a double and a triple. Nodaks Leave For | South Dakota Go West's Lineup Remains a Mys- tery as Sioux Go Through Final Workout Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 9.—(7}—A squad of 30 University of North Da- kota gridders left Friday for Aber- deen, S. D., where the Sioux meet University of South Dakota Saturday in the opening game of the North Central Conference race. While North Dakota is out to win its fourth consecutive loop champion- ship, the Nodaks have been pointing for their homecoming battle here against the University of Oregon and Coach C. A. West's starting lineup was something of a mystery as the squad went through its final practice Thursday. Captain John Burma, fullback, did not take part in the drill. In his place was Duane Neuenschwander, sophomore reserve, indicating the covering up his big back by not start- ing him at all. Manuel Wexler, whose home is in Watertown, S. D., ran the team from quarterback instead of J. Gene . Revell, regular field general. Wexler directed the play of the Sioux against South Dakota last year and did a good job, so it looks possible he might be picked Saturday. ‘Three experienced performers will not make the trip. They are Bill Lowe, regular right guard; Klepstein, another guard; and Nelson, end. All ‘West is going to leave them home to recover completely before they are used again. Art Malo, who has been doing a fine job in Lowe's position, will start against the Coyotes. Washburn Eleven Leaves For Max ———— Coach Gorder Believes His Team Has Good Chance For County Title ‘Washburn, N. D., Oct. 9.—Washburn high school’s football team journeyed to Max Friday to meet the Max ma- chine in the second game of the sea- son for Washburn. Ben P. Gorder, Washburn mentor, believes the prospects for his eleven to win the McLean county champion- ship this year are bright. Last week-end Washburn got off to @ slow start but beat Wilton handily by a 35 to 0 count. Thode at center and Charles Scholl, Jimmy Starbuck and Philip Ross in the backfield were stellar performers for the victors. F TS Last iGHT By The Associated Press N.

LOUIS IN 1928 Had Spent the Money Sent to Him For Railroad Fare From Oklahoma St. Louis, Oct. 9.—(?)—Early in the spring of 1928 there stumbled into the lobby of the St. Louis Cardinals’ hotel in Avon Park, Fla., a haggard, grimy, travel-stained youngster who looked anything but a ball player. His hawk-like face with the flashing black eyes was smeared with dirt and there were cinders in his dark, tousel- | ed hair. Just about the last swagger he could muster was in his slightly bow-legged stride as he marched up to the surprised desk clerk. “Tell Bill McKechnie,” ‘he an- nounced with a weary grin, “that his new center fielder has arrived.” Sunk deed in an easy chair a few feet away, his face buried in a paper, Bill McKechnie, then manager of the Cardinals, raised his eyes at the sound of his name. He looked from the husky figure of what might have been a hobo to the inquiring gaze of the desk clerk. He moved his head a trifle from side to side and retreated @gain behind his paper. “He’s not here just now,” the desk man announced, “but I'll fix you up with a room.” Joins Club Thus it was that John Leonard Martin, world series hero, joined the money sent him to pay his fare from Oklahoma City to the training camp. He had to ride. the rods of freight trains to get there. A hot bath changed his appearance considerably and he was back at the desk again, looking for McKechnie. The first fellow he met who would talk to him was an old friend, Blake Harper, owner of the Fort Smith club in the Western Association. Harper who had greeted Martin as follows when he appeared for work at Ft. Smith years before: “What's your name?” fohnny Martin.” “Nope,” said Harper. “You're ‘Pepper’ Martin. There are too many Johnny's in the league now.” And that was the way he got his name. Martin went out to the prac- tice sessions and hung around the slug at the plate there, when he could horn his way in. He belted a few to the outlying districts and he dragged down flies on a dead run. McKechnie gave in. He called the youngster in and offered his hand. Tells Truth “You're Pepper Martin,” he said, “our new centerfielder. I’m McKech- nie. I guess you were telling the truth.” “What do you think of the series?” Martin was asked recently. “Well, I think it’s great. We're winning, ain't we? And what a break for me. Playing in a world series in my first year in the majors. Why some good players spend a whole lifetime in these leagues and never get in a world series.” Sun Beau Wins To Establish Record Veteran Packs Fattest One- Horse Bank Roll in All Turf History Chicago, Oct. 9—(P)—They say all horses and horse players die “broke” but not old Sun Beau. ‘ Packing the fattest one-horse bank roll in all turf history, he munched his oats in peace and contentment Fri- day—through with racing forever and hailed as the wonder thoroughbred of the age. ‘ He was given a rousing farewell ‘Thursday when he crushed Mate by length and a half in a mile and a quarter dash for his last stake—the $25,000 Hawthorne gold cup. The tri- umph added $20,000 to his all-time winnings, making it $376,744 for five years of campaigning. Great money winners will follow Sun Beau but it is doubtful whether any of them ever break his record for bringing home the cash.
