PEPPER MARTIN SCORES SE BROOKLYN FEATHER STOPS BABE HERMAN INT ML 45S ever, as the aggressive Martin stepped ® notch nearer the featherweight championship by eliminating in jig- time his supposedly greatest rival— Herman—a protegee of Jack Kearns, Jack Dempsey's manager. The crowded house of fans had hardly settled themselves comfortably in their chairs before the fight was over, And what a riotous occasion it ‘was—in fact the most exciting period that has been seen in the Garden since Ritchie Mitchell floored Champion Benny Leonard. Martin has been rapidly gaining recognition as a hard hi-ter, but few, probably not even his enthusiastic managers, Jimmy Kelly and Johnny Keyes, thought Martin would win s0 decisively. It was reported yester- day that Johnny Kilbane demanded $60,000 to sign~to meet the winner of last night's bout, but if he were in the house and saw what a ferocious nd dangerous boxer Martin has de- ‘veloped into he will probably change his figures to $100,000 or more. It would be some feat if the veteran and gray-haired Clevelander could stand up under such an onslaught of blows as Martin delivered to Her- man, who has proved himself to be unusually clever in his previous bouts here. It took just one minute and forty- five seconds for Martin to dispose of Herman. It was a left hook to the chin that sent the Californian Portu- guese boy to dreamland. You often read or hear about boxers going to dreamland. but if boxer ever took a trip. there it was Herman. It took several minutes to bring him to after ‘the terrific wallops on the jaw.

There is perfaps no one quite as familiar with baseball in foreign lands as is Ted Sullivan, for it was he who acted as managing director of the round-the-world trip of the Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants. Ted Sullivan is one of the most popular men identiged with baseball. He has figured a an organizer of minor league teams, and a great deal of his time was spent in the develop- ment of young players. Among the great players developed by Sullivan is Charley Comiskey, former great first baseman, and now President of the White Sox. 1 Sullivan has been the manager of two major league teams, the St. Louis Browns and the Washington Club of the National League.

Baker’s Great Hitting Prevents Red Sox From Cleaning Up Yank Series YANKEES HOPE TO Veteran Infielder Makes Five Hits in Five Times Up, One of Them a Two-Bagger, Off Fullerton and Karr, Young Boston Pitchers. By Bozeman Bulger. HE Boston Red Sox went a little too far with our boys when they tried to make a clean sweep of the American League champions by sticking in two young pitchers, both still wet behind the ears. It shows that prosperity ruins some folks. The Yanks went away from here quite happy to make room for the nts. The World's Champs used up what would have been a holiday just to beat the Braves in a post- poned game. After that they aim to beat the same Braves four times more. But that's an afterthought. outh and Age had quite a battle up there at the Polo Grounds before the Yanks got away. Result: Youth right now sits in a dark corner lick- ing his wounds. Old Age, on the other hand, donned his easy slippers last night, fired up his pipe and smiled sagely, In a word—or so—Messrs, Fuller- ton and Karr, both boys of rosy cheek, are regarding a score show- ing seventeen safe smacks poked be- tween their ribs by these old de- crepits. f Frank—Home Run—Baker, pipe in hand and slipper on foot, looks over his glasses and finds that he has maced the boys for five straight line smacks out of just that number of times at bat. One of them was a two-bagger. Wallie Schang, another octogenarian, looked on youth at its youthest and helped himself to a three-bagger and single at the exact moment when long pokes were needed. Wallie Pipp, still another wabbly old bird, popped the boys for a home run and a single, netting him a total of three runs. Sam Jones, | aside from pitching nine innings of orviceable baseball, stroked his old cray stubble and lammed into pink- cheeked Youth for three clean sin- gles. Him a pitcher, to And that's the way it went—from bad to worse, Not to be outdone in these Old Age frolics, Mr, Smith and Joe Harris of the opposition stepped in and knocked Sam Jones for a loop—that is to say, a homer apiece. But it counted for nothing, except to put Youth in its place—let him know that the old guys are still around. After getting a six-run lead in the first two innings, the subsequent ac. tivities of the Sox might have amounted to something had not the Old Guard got plumb mad in the fifth Fewster started it with a single Then old man Baker, just to show his versatility, rammed Mr, Fullerton for a line shot against the left field fence for two bases. Baker usually hits ‘em to right, Fewster scored and Miller advanced the venerable Mr. Baker to third with a sacrifice. Pipp almost broke the leg of an infielder. They tried to get Baker at home and, failing on that, let ‘em all get safe. Bang! Bang! Bang! The plain type may mean nothing, but that’s the way it sounded as Scott, Schang and Jones walked up to take a poke each. These three hits piled up a grand total of four runs. The rest were all wasted Wallie Schang, by the way, caught a fast curve on the tip of his finger during the ensuing fray, The digit was so badly split that he may be out of the game for several days. It's tough on Wallie, but Devormey 7 GROUND THEY LOST a ee The Hugmen Open a Four Game Series in Pkila- delphia To-Day. By Robert Boyd. PHILADELPHIA, May 3.— Thé Yankees are here ready for their four-* game series, with its much-abused 1922 edition of Connie Mack's Ath« letics, The Hugmen have a real battle on their hands the way the St. Louls Browns are pushing them for first honors in the American League race, Miller Huggins is looking forward to his short stay in this city as @ medium through which the Yankees will recover some of the ground they lost during the last series with the Red Sox at the Polo Grounds, Huggins was not far wrong in his prediction when the club opened the 1922 season wit! Clyde Milan's Sena« tors, that the Browns would be one of the teams in the race they would be forced to watch. St. Louis has come through thus far in great shape and up to all expectations of the mite manager. Atfter the Yankees play the present four-game series with the Athletics they will jump to Washington for one game Sunday and then return to the Polo Grounds to stay until June 4. As hard pressed as they are af present by the Browns, the next five games away from their familiar haunts of Coogan's Bluff and their long stay at home is bound to give them an advantage in the schedule. The White Sox are looming up dans gerously on the American League horizon as contenders. This comes as much of a surprise. They are playing great baseball, and the sudden rise of Charley Robertson, their youthful Texas twirler of no little fame, makes them appear formidable, Huggins is looking forward to the first twenty days of this month and hoping that they pass by as quickly as possible. Not that he needs Babe Ryth and Bob Meusel, the wayward sohs of the Yankees, but he will feel much better when they are in the out- field assisting Whitey Witt to patrol the outgarden of the Yankees’ defense sive works.
