One of the most welcome is the come-back of your old favorite, John Leonard (Pepper) Martin. It's good to see the Pepper romp- ing around again with the same| sort of spirit and activity that made him the one-man show of | the 1931 world series and a na- tional hero overnignt. The re- markable feature of his come-back is not so much that he is again flogging all kinds of pitching, but! that he has taken over a brand | new job at third base with such | gusto that he is already being com- | pared with the best in the league in that difficult position. Pepper broke loose against the Phillies one afternoon in a dazzling all-around exhibition, reminiscent of the day he put the Athletics to s I route single-handed. Subsequently | he has hammered hxs way to Lhe’ AR, top flight of ters. National league Greasing the Chutes It has taken uhe effervescent Martin exactly a year to shake off the reaction of misfortune that pursued him after his dramatic performance against the Athletics. In fact, I have a distinct recol- lection of the way this re-action set in, following the fifth' game of the 1931 series and Martin's return to St. Louis as a conquering hero {The Cards were leading, 3 games to 2, The night befors the sixth game | Martin was dined and feted, I can see the “Wild Horse” yet, embar- rassed, dazzled, chewing a big cigar from which he had neglected to remove the wrapper. The chutes were being greased in the custom- ary manner for a new sporting idol. The next day at the park, ad- mirers flocked around to present flowers, cactus bats and shotguns to the little outfielder. When he faced Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw in the remaining two games Pepper was still in a daze. He went hitless, but the Cards won the final game, anyway, and the glorious reflection of his ex- ploits was still bright.

C, baseball cap-| Baseball Cards DETROIT, June 7—If Tom Bridges, Detroit’s sturdy pitching ace, hurls just one more one-hit game there will be no further doubt that the baseball cards are stacked against him. Three times since late last sea- son Tom has stood on the thres- hold of Diamond immortality, only to have the door slammed in his face. It's enough to discourage any- body, but Tom still is d:\tclmnrd to achieve that “no-hitter.” The Tiger star’s run of misfor- tune began in a game last season against Washington, when he pitched hitless ball for eight and two-thirds innings, only to have Dave Harris, a pinch-hitter, pound out a single. . It continued to hound him early this’ year, when Sam West of the $t. Louis Browns singled in the eighth round to spoil an otherwise perfect performance. Again, the other day, Bridges along for seven chapters without allowing Washington any- thing resembling a safety. Only one man_had reached first. But in the fateful eighth Joe Kuhel, Senators’ first baseman, slammed a home run over the right field fence. That was Wash- {ington’s only hit but it added an- othe: grey hair to Bridges' collec- ARMY T0 SUFFER HEAVIEST LOSS BY GRADUATION WEST POINT, N.
