MOTHER LAUDS SONS FIGHTING
 IRISH BLOOD
Mrs Martin Prays for Pep- per to Set New World Series Record To-day
BY W. W. COPELAND

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Oklahoma City, October 9 - (UP) = The 67-year old mother of Johnny (Pepper) Martin. spec tacular St Louis Cardinal out fielder, prayed and predicted to- day that her son would establish a world record before nightfall. Seated at the radio in the home of a friend, her ears close to the loud speaker, Mrs George Martin listened, hopeful that her son would drive out his 18th hit to be- come the first player to attain that total in a world series.
 She Has Faith
 Johnny drove out his 18th hit Wednesday and I know he will get at least one today" the proud mother said. T prayed for him to make good on his chance and he has,"
 Mrs Martin is familiar with baseball. Her seventh child, "Baby" Johnny, has talked 1t all his life. Each evening she has sat in her humble three room home and read the glowing accounts of Peppers accomplishments. But Oll LILLE dcky VI oll ddyS 0Ao Wl4A try to hear the radio account, de- spite almost total deafness.
 T know he'll break that record" she half prayed and half predicted. "TIe has that fighting Irish blood. Once he offered to whip neigh bor who reported me to city police because my chickens were both ersome."
 There's not drop of Indian blood in him, but he has that In- dian fighting spirit. The reason many believe he is part Indian is he was favorite with the Indians. They used to flock to our house.
 Loved the Game
 Pepper even as 8 boy would slip away to play baseball.
 "On his return he would tell me where he had been. He was truth full, but he would not tell me he was going to play because he was afraid I would worry" the mother recounted.
 T did not want him to play baseball, but once he told me, Ma, if ever get a chance, I'll make good and he has.
 Part of Martins speed on the runways, displayed by his theft of four bases off of Mickey Cochrane, may be attributed to his mother. She was quite sprinter herself in her younger days.
 "No, I can't run well anymore, but I used to hold my own with most boys" she said.
 "Johnny's greatest fault" she added, "is that he is like all boys, he doesn't write home as much as I like.

 Danbury, Oct 9-The local High school fotball team inaugurated its 1881 gridiron campaign at the school athletic field here yesterday afternoon kalsomining Wilby High of Waterbury. 19-0, before very meager crowd. Rain fell through out the first three periods hamper ing the play of both aggregations.
 Use Rockne Plays.
 The Mad IIatters, after three weeks of intensive practice. show ed many of Knute Rockne's plays which baffed the weak forward wall of the visitors. The Wilby ends were lost endeavoring to break up the locals lateral passes which time and time again brought the visitors first downs.
 Cody Runs Wild.
 Cowboy" Cody, speedy and elus- i've senior fullback, carried the of- fensive brunt of the locals rear works. Always on the receiving end of the laterals, Cody put his enviable speed to good use outdis- tancing green and white wingmen and tackle with seemingly ease. His end runs resulted in touch- downs in the opening and final quarters. Plunging honors how ever, went to Cooper" Hopkins, halfback, who hit the visitors line for gain after gain consistently.
 visitors Aerials Unchecked.
 Wilby outplayed the locals in but one department, that in for ward passing. The Brass City eleven completed g or Il passes with Jim Tracy and Tom Patter- son responsible. All III all, the Waterbury outfit were never in the shadows of the locals goal posts. Joe Butler. Jim Tracy, Jimmy Coffey, Archie Israel and Tony Vestro showed up we'll in the play of the vanquished.

Pep Rode Rods
 to Cards Camp; Rector Helped Him

Thomasville, Ga Oct 9-(UP)-- The rods of freight cars and the money of the Rev Robb White. rector of the St Thomas Episco- al church, here. enabled John Leonard (Pepper) Martin, 1891 world series hero, to reach the St Louis Cardinals training camp at Bradenton, Fla, last spring. 1t was disclosed today.
 Martin rode the rods from his home in Oklahoma to Thomasville where he was arrested by railroad police, jailed and fined $5.
 The rector noticed Martin on one of his periodical visits to jail. Pepper impresser him as having several traits superior to those commonly attributed to the habo- ing profession"
 The Big List
 White paid Martins fined and asked him if he needed more mon ey. Pepper said he could use dol lar. When that was given him. Martin used it to buy cigarets for his former "cell mates" in jail.
 This So impressed the rector, he asked Martin abain if he needed more help. The unbashful rookie said he could use a ticket to Bra- denton.
 The ticket was purchased and Martin departed.
 In May the minister received a letter thanking him for his kind. ness and returning the total amount of the loan.

CONFIDENCE SUCH AS MARTINS CAN
 AID US. SAYS PROF
Lack of Optimism During Depression Holding Na- ton Down - Action Is Needed Most
(By EDWARD W. LEWIS

(Un1Ue0 EfeSS SCaM OOTEeSpOuucHCj
 St Louis, Oct 9-(UP)-Some of the pep such as Pepper Martin has shown in the World series is what the nation needs to score against depression.
 No less an authority than the young outfielder of the Cardinals, who has been on his toes and played with his head up in the world series, is authority for the statement and he Is supported by a prominent psychologist, Prof V. w. Lammon of Washington Uni- versity.
 Psychologizfng.
 'I suppose it would be a good thing if folks felt about the de- pression like felt about the ser- ies," Martin said.
 .It's just this confidence like Martins that business needs, Lam mon said. Martins confidence of being able to steal bases off Mickey Cochrane, his belief he could hit Grove and Earnshaw-all express ed in action, could be carried out in the business world. Let business place orders. That's an expression of confidence, the sort the public needs"
 Two days before the series, the peppery center fielder was limping about with a bad knee, but in al- most Dizzy Dean fashion he said then:
 "Sure I can hit Grove and Earn shaw. I think can hit any pitt cher. Shucks, if Grove wasn't a good pitcher, he wouldn't be in the majors, and if I couldn't hit good pitcher I wou, 1t be either. Don't worry about me for my leg, I'll be in there bearing down."
 Professional Dope.
 That sort of Credo, expressed in action by four stolen bases, 12 hits, and five runs batted in, in the first five games of the series, is what Anne. ica needs ito change the whole business situation for the better" Lammon said.
 From the psychologists view point" asserted Lammon," business Is suffering from just the opposite psychology of Martin. People have no confidence. They will not be brought out of depression by ptimistic statements of business leaders. It takes action to really establish confidence.'

MaTClu.
 Martin will be aided by some other St Louis Cardinals, National league champions, among whom will be Gone believes) Paul Der ringer, a pitcher, Andrew A. High, third baseman, and Francis Frisch who used to be "the Ford ham Flash"
 John Leonard Pepper" Martin plays center field for St Louis; he makes most of the catches he tries for and he also bats.
 Paul Derringer is a young man who pitches right-handed. His immediate rival in this sixth game is expecetd to be George Earn shaw, 620 Strathhaven avenue, Swarthmore, Penn, who also throws with his right arm and who is six feet and four inches tall.
 Mack Undecided.
 It cannot be set down as posi- tive fact that Mir Earnshaw will be the "flinger" for the Athle- tics because Manager Cornelius McGillicuddy, will not commit him self on such things Is not consid- cred tenable to master-minding.
 Mir Mack Gas he is known to the profession) said to this writer no later than last evening:
 T do not know who will pitch for us."
 Clarence "Gabby" Street, man. ager of the Cardinals was so elated at holding an advantage in the matter of games won, he reverted to type and has gone so far as to hint that indeed young Paul Der ringer would pitch. MT Streets

PETE FOLEY MAY SHIFT GOODWIN
 TO QUARTER
Dick Tuckey Now at End as Garnet Prepares for Lewis High Game To- morrow

Naugatuck, Oct 9-In an effort to gain additional strength in his backfield, Coach Peter J. Foley of Naugatuck high may shift Dick Tuckey, present end of the varsity eleven, to a halfback position, in- stalling Captain George Goodwin or Bubbles" Balinsky at quarter back to make room for Tuckey. Tuckey, a 1.-the, solid youth weigh ing 174 pounds with much natural ability, sems the ideal sort of man to have in a backfield. With suffi- cient weight and cleverness plus physical strength and towering over six feet in height, he sizes up as an ideal halfback. He has re- vealed himself to be capable of high caliber playing as linesman and if he can speed up a bit can no doubt gain a halfback post. He is also considered fairly good at throwing forward passes. He is a son of Dick Tuckey, former East ern league pitcher, and has much athletic ability. His forward pass catching in practice sessions and his ensuing runs with the ball have impressed watchers who eagerly await seeing him in a regular game. Against the Alumni last Saturday Tuckey showed he is capable of much, needing merely seasoning under fire to polish off.
 Play Lewis Tomorrow
 Captain Goodwin and mates will open their regular schedule meet ing the Lewis High of Southington eleven at Recreation Field Satur- day afternoon. Lewis bowed to Ansonia's team in the Copper City last Saturday by 19-6 score. Lewis touchdown was registered by a fleet and versatile signal caller named Paldina, who nabbed a for ward pass and ran 20 yards through a broken field for the marker, This youth was said to of fight and a clever football ex- hibition and will be closely watched by Naugy's men here this Satur- day. Ansonia was expected to run up a high score against the boys from East of Southington Noun tain and their being held to 19 points warns the Foley charges stiff battle is to be expected. Nau- gatuck is also greatly interested in the accomplishments of Kit Jurkowski and his Lavender grid sters whom the locals will meet In their annual game in Ansonia this season.
 Watch Goodwin
 Coach Foley has two halfbacks that compare with the best in Con- necticut in Captain George Good win and Bubbles" Balinsky. He has young but hefty player at fullback in Posick, a player tipping the beams at 180 pounds. Posick lacks experience and has yet to learn how to make the best use ot his weight after crashing the line. Once he gets the knack of smash ing through the line it will take some hard tackling to bring. him down. Coach Foley's quarterbacks have not done much ball carrying during recent seasons but If Tuckey is shifted to the backfield he may elaborate upon his backfield sys- tenn and employe a running attack involving all four men. The team is reported in prime condition Tor its opening tussle with Lewis High.

From minor league obscurity to the pinnacle of baseball fame is the gap the St Louis Cardinals swash- buckling center fielder has bridged in less than five months. Other players have performed miraculous feats in the world series, but no raw recruit ever stepped out to steal baseball's biggest show.
 One Against Nine
 He has turned the world series from a clash between the two pen- nant winners into battle between one of the most formidable base ball machines of modern time and an individual player.
 Chicken Feed
 Martin is the lowest salaried player in the Cardinals ranks. His salary is $4,500, less than one- fourth of what such stars as Al Simmons, Lefty Grove, Jimmy Foxx and George Earnshaw draw. Many ordinary ball players get twice as much.
 If the Cards win the world series. his cut will be about $4,400, giving him about 5000 for the year.
 "Now. John, you take this money and buy you a home while things are cheap" Sam Breadon, presi- dent of the St Louis club, advised him yesterday.
 Buy me a home nothing" came back Martin. Me and a pal of mine are going to build one
 This dashing ball player who has a chance to break or tie seven world series records hasn't let fame go to his head.
 Can't Kid Him
 When he came to bat the last time against Walberg in the fifth game at Philadelphia, Mickey Cochrane, As catcher, said to him:
 You are pretty much of a hero. kid, why don't you stick out your chest?"
 "Stick out my chest nothing" re- piled Martin. "Say, I'm just as dizzy as you are."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-09

elation is based on the fact that his "club" has won three of the games played while his opponents have won but two.
 Everybody Happy? days game 1t will be a very good thing.
 For in such case there will be no baseball to-morrew and people can began to think solely about football which is just what people who care for Athletics should be thinking about this time of year.
 If the Cardinals lose to-day, there will be seventh game Sat urday, the same day on which Notre Dame plays Northwestern and Yale plays Georgia.
