Ciassified Ads PAGE D-—1 Record Crowd Promised Navy-Maryland Game: Martin Warmed Bench fora Year MIDDIES SHOW OFF NEW CHEER STUNTS Do Tricks for First Time in| Washington — Ritchie, BY R. D. THOMAS. Adams Head Notables. ED by the Secretary of the L Navy and the Governor of Maryland, a great gathering of keenly aroused foot balll folk is expected to witness the battle in Griffith Stadium tomor- row between the Naval Academy and the University of Maryland,| with prospects bright for the| largest attendance in the Capital’s| foot ball history. The record of | 22,000 was established in 1922, when Navy played Penn State. For the first time Washington| will be afforded opportunity to; view the Middies’' famous cheeringi section in all its colorful gyrations, | with some 2,000 taking part in al new program that was worked out in complicated detail by the cheer leaders during the Summer cruise. The regiment will march on the field at 2 o'clock and will take places in the south stand 15 or 20 minutes later. The game Wil start at 2:30 o'clock and, from that time until the closing whistle, Secretary Adams and a host of high Navy officials and Gov. Ritchie and an imposing list of State leaders, including Senator Tydings, very likely will become just so many foot ball root- ers, for the Navy-Maryland game prom- ises to be & genuine thriller. N the eve of battle, neither team holds & distinct edge in public favor. For Maryland it will be the first contest with a “big league” oppo- nent in which it was not the underdog. The Old Liners, since they assembled for early training, have given serious thought to no other game and the Mid- | dies have looked to it as one of the toughest on a pretentious schedule. Maryland has met the Naval Acad- emy only a few times on the gridiron and has never won, but the outcome of last year's game at Annapolis was such as to whet interest to a keen pitch in tomorrow’s clash. A year ago, the Navy | won by 6 to 0, but many of the eritics held that Maryland, with a bit more unch at opportune moments, would ave gained the day. Incidentally, the halfback whose sensational 65-yard run decided the igsue may be one of the |ClI few leaders in last year's clash not en- gaged tomorrow. “Bullet” Kirn has | been nursing &n injury, but there re- mains an excellent chance he will be able to play. He has a star substitute in Joe Tschirgl. MARYLAND'S starting line-up, com- posed almost altogether of seniors, is rated the strongest since the ‘Terrapin team of 1923, which featured the great forward-passing combination of Jack McQuade and Johnny Grove; a team that held the champion Yale eleven to a 16-14 score and defeated one of Penn’s best machines, 3 to 0. Mc- Quade and Grove are still air special- ists. They're in the aviation service of the United States. For Navy it will be the first important game under its new head coach, Edgar (Rip) Miller, who has introduced the Notre Dame style at Annapolis. Miller was one of the “Seven Mules” who made possible the “Pour Horsemen” of South Bend. In its opener this season the Navy de- feated a strong William and Mary team, 13 to 6. Maryland opened with a 13-0 victory over Washington College, and then won from Virginia, 7 to 6, but in neither contest showed its true power. ; Its performance against Virginia was marred by fumbles, and during the last . week the butter-fingered Terrapins have worked like beavers to overcome the fault. This is the twentieth season for H. C. (Curly) Byrd as coach at Maryland, and should be one of his most success- ful. A triumph over the Navy would compensate for almost anything that might happen in the games to follow. N practice both teams have concen- tiated on a passing attack, but each is equipped with several fine run- | ning backs, and, no matter what the of- fensive tactics of either, the game should be productive of some sensational play. Standing out above all else among the trappings will be the Middies' cheering section, although Maryland is well prepared to give vocal support to its warriors and its band is far above average. The midshipmen will produce living moving pictures in color. The first dis- play. will be a greeting, “Ahoy,” in red and blue, to be followed by the Naval Acaddmy flag in blue and white, the State flag of Maryland, the Navy goat, Maryland terrapin and the Naval Acad- emy shield in red, blue and gold. Leading the section will be the fol- Jowing midshipmen: Stunts—F. D. Foley, J. J. Loughlin, M. A. Fassett and E. R. Hodgkins. Cheering—H. L. Jukes, H. H. Head, N. R. Rhodes and J. D. Lamade. 'HE midshipmen produce their strik- ing figures from blue prints. Cards of various colors, costing hundreds of dollars a season, must be provided, as well as detailed instructions to all who participate. The cheering section re- hearses its between-the-halves stunts three times a weck during the foot ball season. Most institutions find it diffi- cult to carry out the Middies’ idea in a big way because a solid block of at least 1,500 men in identical garb is necessary. Ever since 1890 the Middies have used @ goat as an omen of good luck. ‘While on the way to a big game that year some one observed that the Navy needed a mascot. The train passed a mumber of pigs and a donkey, but sug- gestions that one of these be adopted failed to click. When the train stopped for water, a goat was spled, and it quickly became a member of the party. “Navy won the e and has never lost zaith in the luek-bearing quality of its Mayy’s goat invariably travels by fruck and is given an early start, usu- #lly placing him on the field well ahead the regiment.

ITTSBURGH, October 9 4?&.—1?“]81; Ens, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates since late in the 1929 sea- | son, has been given his unconditional release. It was said a new manager would not be announced at this time. ‘The Pirates finished in fifth place in the National League in both 1930 and 1931, the two full years of Ens’ managership. Ens, who was born in St. Louis Au- gust 24, 1889, served the Pirates as player and later as coach before he | was elevited to manager. He also played with St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, | hattanooga, Providence and Syracuse. ‘He was once manager‘of the Dallas club of the Texas League for a short time. He makes his home in St. Louis. George Gibson, fcrmer Pirate mana- ger, came here from his farm near Mount Brydges, Ontario, to watch the Pittsburgh team in action during the | last days of the 1931 season, and this gave rise to speculation that he would be offered his old job. Gibson resigned as manager in June, 1922, and was succeeded by Bill Mc- Kechnie, now manager of the Braves. He is the only man who has been prominently mentioned for Ens’ place. ‘The club management, however, has d no comment on the reports. Big Series Notes ST. LOUIS, October 9 (A).—There's | been considerable conjecture as to the | nationality of “Pepper” Martin. The | youngster himself doesn't help the argu- ment_much. “My father was Irish” he says, “and | in the background is some German and Dutch. My mother is English and my wife says I'm Scotch. I once played foot ball with the Hominy Indians, but I never saw the Osage Country, which is in the northeast portion of Okiahoma, not the south, where I hail from. So figure that out for yourself.” Just what St. Louis thinks of “Pep- Rer" and his importance to himself and is .667 batting average to the club was demonstrated last night, when the youngster talked briefly over a_local radio station, along with Frankie Frisch and Gabby Street. Four detectives called for Martin and escorted him to the| broadcasting rooms. When it was over | they took him home again. Some of Mickey Cochrane's poor play- ing in the series, his lack of hitting and his failure to strike much of ah average in thwarting Martin's attempts to steal e be explained by bis physical condi~ on. Mickey has been in poor condition since he was hit in the head by a pitched ball late in the season. He is playing with a strained side heavily bound in plaster and one leg tightly taped to protect a “charley horse.” Despite his base-stealing record, Mar- tin is not the fastest straightaway run- ner on the Cardinals’ ball club. In a 75-yard dash a few days ago Frankie Frisch beat him, Jim Wilson, the catcher, was second and “Pepper” third. In a race around the bases, however, the Cardinals claim “Pepper” has no superior in the big leagues. They would also back him against any man in the business in a dash from the plate to first base.

FIRE AT LEXINGTON BURNS RACE STAND Plant at Famous Trotting Track Is Quickly Razed by Flames. By the Assoclated Press. EXINGTON, Ky., October 9.—The grandstand from which cheering thousands watched Peter Man- ning set the world’s mile trotting record of 1:56% in 1925 was & mass of charred wood and twisted steel fol- lowing a fire which destroyed the struc- ture at the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders” Association track early today. The blaze, its origin unascertained, started in the betting sheds and swept through the building before firemen could arrive. The grandstand was built in 1893. Track employes saved most of the assoclation’s records, kept in offices under the structure. The grandstand was last used at the Grand Circuit meeting here last month. It overlooked an oval known as the fastest mile track in America, because of the many trotting records set there. | Firemen confined their efforts to pre- venting the flames from spreading to nearby stables, where horses were quar- tered. Less than two hours after the blaze was discovered the fire had burned out. Aside from the grandstand proper, the betting sheds, the judges' stand and several empty concession booths were destroyed. A high wind fanned the blaze, but it | blew the flames and sparks in the op- posite direction from the stables in which horses were quartered, and these buildings did not become ignited. Track officlals estimated the loss at $120,000. Insurance to the amount of $50,000 was carried. Martin Got Speed Catching Rabbits ALLAS, Tex., October 9 (#).— The Texas League has its own legends about the amazing speed of “Pepper” Martin, hero of the world series, and one of the best is told by Roy Moore, teammate of “Pepper” on the 1929 Houston club. “Pepper goes out on the prairie and scares up a bunch of rabbits,” Moore explained in recounting Martin's prowess as a hunter. “He runs along with these rabbits. He reaches down and feels the sides of these rabbits. “If the rabbit is a bit thin he lets him go and takes out after another one, but if the rabbit is nice and fat, Pepper picks him up and puts him in his bag.” THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE Ode to Pepper Martin.

EW YORK, October 9.—With 3 of the 10 best heavyweights in the world performing in local rings tonight and Monday night, Queensberry addicts may obtain a good idea of the state into which that di- vision has descended. Jack Sharkey, still clinging to the American champlonship, is slated to meet Primo Carnera, who must be ac- cepted as one of the first five in a 15-rounder at Ebbets 1d Monday night. . Joe Sekyra, who deserves a place | somewhere between sixth and tenth, will be on exhibition in Madison Square Garden tonight. His opponent will be James J. Braddock of Jersey City, the heavy-handed young man once singled out by William Muldoon as & coming heavyweight champion. Sekyra, never noted as & hitter. but with speed to burn and a talented left hand, injected himself into the front ranks of the heavyweight parade re- cently when he snapped the winning streak of Charles Retzlaff and then gave Tommy Loughran such a fight that many thought Joe entitled to the Ve’;glct, though the officials ruled other- wise. Braddeck is coming back to the wars after a long layoff, due to illness. James will pack the punch of the party, but Sekyra is such an elusive target that it is unlikely the Jersey Irishman will be able to connect with his ific right. ‘The Sharkey-Carnera will have more_significance, in taat the winner will be in line for a erack at Max Schmeling next Summer. In spite of Sharkey's ' dismal showing _against Mickey Walker, the New York Com- mission still officially regards him as the world’s best heavyweight and has not receded from its stand that Schme- ling cannot rate in this State until he signs to box with the Bostonian. That edict does not seem to worry Max any more now than it did last Summer.

(This is the first of a series of stories on the persomality and career of John BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Leonard ““Pepper”’ Martin.) Assoclated Press Sports Writer. T. LOUIS, October 9.—Early in | S the Spring of 1928 there| stumbled into the lobby of the St. Louis Cardinals’ hotel, in Avon Park, Fla., a hag- gard, grimy, travel-stained young- ster, who looked like 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, touseled 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. ell Bill McKechnie,” he announced *m a weary grin, “that his new center- Ider has arrived.

Thus ' was that John Leonard | Martin, world series hero, joined the | Cardinal ball club. He had spent 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 sppearance considerably and he was back at the desk again, looking for McKechnie. Ths 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. "It was Harper who had greeted Martn as follows when he ap- peared for work at Fort Smith years | before: “What's your name?” “Johnny 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. Pepper Willing To Swap Landis T., LOUIS, October 9 (#).—Pepper Martin, the irresistible, not con- tent with / having - demoralized the Athletics, is even one up on Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of base ball. The white-haired commissianer, Journeying back to St. Louis from Philadelphia on the Cardinals’ spe~ cial, paused in an aisle to shake the hand of the world series hero. “Young man,” he said, “I envy you. I would love nothing' better than to trade places with you.” “It's all right with me, Judge, Pepper agreed instantly. “I'll trade my $4,500 a year for your $50,000 any day.” Pepper didn't know the commis- sioner’s salary was $65,000. I guess you were telling the truth.” Pepper wasn't exactly telling the truth, He sat on the Cardinal bench through that season and he was farmed out to Houston, Tevas, for the 1929 campaign and Rochester, in the International League, in 1930. The past National League®campaign was his first in the majors. He's the kind of a ball player his mates can't talk enough sbout, cocky, but in no way offensive, simple, un- affected, certain of his own ability, but by no means impressed with his own importance. He was walking through the Cardinal special heading back to St. Louls, happy as & kid with a new fishing rod, getting all the Cardinais to sign a score card for him as a memento. “What do you think of the series he was asked as he hustled around jn his shirt sleeves, his collar open, t! ends of his tie dangling down his shirt front. He stopped for a minute and pondered. There was absolutely no thought of himself as he answered with a big grin: “Well, I think it's great. We're win- ning, ain't we? And what a break for me.” Playing in a world serfes 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.” sox?r::hg( Sh!il;eet's vnlceThme]lowu at the name. e players will talk about him for hours. B “He's naturally a great ball play- er” says Frankie Frisch, who taught him to slide head first when stealing bases. ‘He can hammer the ball cr drag his hits. He's a streak on base, a great thrower, a grand fielder. He never makes a mistake. And what a fellow to have on a ball club. Full of fun, never moody. And what a fighter. “Bill Herman, the Cubs’ second base- man, tried to block him off going into the bag one day. Pepper hit him in the middle. Herman landed in left field and the ball into the dugout. “‘What about it?" asks Pepper to H;{man as he gets up and dusts him- self. “And what do you think he said to me on the bench before the sixth in- ning of that last game in Philadelphia? “‘Get on, Frankie,’' he says, ‘Get on. I'm going to hit one into them seats For days McKechnie, trying to tame the cocky youngster, gave him what was | politely known as 'the “run around,” avo!
