BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, October 7.— Soft words often may help ] in a pinch, but ‘when a sit- uation becomes really des- | perate a kick in the neck does | more good. ’'Tis rumored here- | about that Connie Mack, mana- ger of the Athletics, gave his world champions just that kind of a kick before they entered the fourth game of the world series yesterday. So today the American League pennant winners were to go into the fifth engagement of the set on even terms with the Cardinals, standard-bearers of the National League. Ordinarily a mild-mannered, quiet- spoken, peaceable gentleman, Mr. Mc- Gillicuddy must have been quite upset after seeing his playboys take it on their collective chins so meekly for a spell, which would make any ceviation from his customary course of conduct excusable ‘The performance of the Athletics yes- terday, in sharp contrast to previous performances, leads one to believe Con- nie must have opened up to call the boys by their first names and other things.

They did not hit like the ciub that made so many afternoons | miserable for moundsmen in the American League walkover. Perhaps. though, they deserve a lot of credit for what they did after their dismal failure of the day before. They proved their gameness, for it takes a game ball club to come back | and bang as many as 10 hits for victory | after being especially fortunate in get- { ting as many as two hits in the previous |game.

He was nicked for a tally right at _the outset when Bkshog singled, advanéed a notch on Haas sacrifice and Cochrane's death and rode heme on a hearty double by Simmons.

Here is a bush leaguer getting his first taste of title base ball and taking it with a grin, plastering the star pitching like he |would a back-lot offering. And making :the game's ace catcher, Mickey Coch- rane, look like he was tied to a lamp- post when the Mackman tries to nab the fleeing kid tearing down the paths.

Up in the stahds a hide-bound Phila- delphia audience roars its acclaim Its shout rings long as Martin hits the ball or steals a base. And it is a greater Hoover, the first fan of the Nation; greater than given any its own play- ers. this is & v biased flock of customers. But it dips its flag to Martin. Martin, after all, has proven that. the customer 1 likes flash; that the era of slugging has reached its zenith and that from now on it will raise its voice to clever running and shcwmanship. Martin makes the sluggish Athletics look more stoical than ever. It is the custom of an Athletic player to beat it down to first, fold his arms and wait upon the next bludgeon wielder to send him leisurely down to second base. But Martin has shown the fan that there is more to the sport than slugging. His actions at first are Pepper plays tag with the base con- stantly, a reminder of Ty Cobb in his more youthful days. He see-saws and rattles the pitcher. He makes fake starts and more than annoys one of those placid Mack hurlers, who has been accustomed to seeing his runners stay put on that old bag. Buck Herzog, the old National League star, a crack base runner and cne of the few really great base runners, sitting beside me in the press stand cheered the Pepper's work and was pleased at the reception fandom was giving the lost art of base stealing. Buck predicted it was on the come- back and that the next series would find a pepper box or two on cacis ball club. Mack, in an interview, ad- Pepper Martin was the show and that he was not only for what he lo alone, but for the smart hitting in a series of games° played by the cream of the diamond's | every time the kid swaggers to the bat. | accord than was handed President | Those Red Birds, even in defeat, are making the Athletics look terribly |slow. ~Always figured a truck-moving | base ball mackine, the charge stands jout well backed up when the Cards |put on a liftle speed on the bags.

But if Connie pepped his men up on the bags he would have not only a wonderful machine-like champion, 1but a colorful leader. Gabby's Cards were no bargain to look at yesterday, however, other than Martin’s flash and a few other spurts. They were not hitting, and it proved that, mo matter how colorful a club may be, when it lacks hitting it is outfit not getting its blows. | now standing at 2-all, the fifth game |today is being figured to Connie Mack. In taking' over the Reds yesterday the Athletics are be- lieved to have regained that lost com- posure picked up in the third fracas. And it is possible that more effort will be made to put the damper upon Mar- tin's activities, But no matter who takes this series, Martin is already nominated as the bright light of the affair. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. 'ALTER JOHNSON, ace of the ‘Washington pitchers, has won 26 games and lost 12, a record surpassed only by Chief Bender, Vean Gregg and Jack Coombs. Doubtless Johnson would be leading ‘em all if he had been with a win- ning team. Admirers of the Philadelphia nine believe the Athletics will be able to hit Christy Matthewson, the Giants’ sensational pitcher, in the world se- Ties. Central High looms as the best public high school foot ball team in the District. In Van Dyne, Reuter and Hamilton it has a trio of fine backs. Centrai held the Maryland Aggles to a standstill in the first balf of their game yesterday, but the Farmers won in the second half.

And it was Pepper who cavorted abou center field and adjacent ground to make four catches, two especially bright. Despite the fine hurling being done in the series Martin is getting the major share of the glory. He dashes along as theugh it is his series and he intends to make the most of it. VEN in defeat the Cardinals did not look bad. They played heads-up bese ball afield’ and showed no lack of confidence behind pitching they must have realized was somewhat risky to employ against a club with such a batting reputation. Their defense was snappy and the one error charged against their side, that made by Bottomley in the third inning when he juggled a throw and failed to &mglete a double play, did not unpoise S The double play went through immé®: in the most lpfi;oved manner. The Cards simply were overcome by one of the finest pitching exhibitions seen in a world series in a long while, an exhibition superior even to that two-hit game of Grimes’ on Monday. For five innings Sylvester Johnson hurled well for the National Leaguers, tut he came up for the sixth well tired and each of the six batters to face him before he turned the mound task over to Jim Lindsey socked him savagely. Almost from the start of the game Johnson had been shoving his first pitch to a batter across the plate, but not until the sixth did the A's start swinging at that first pitch. And ‘when they started Johnson was " Neither Lindsey nor Paul Derringer was on the hill long enpugh to mean anything in the affair. But each gave the impression that he might prove a handy man in s relief role, if needed, later in the tussling.
