Sunk deep in - easy chair q few

Thus it was that Leonard Martin

money sent him to pay his fare
from Oklahor- City to the train

of freight trains TO get there.
A hot bath changed his appear
ance considerably and he was back
at the desk again, looking for Nc
Kechnie. The first fellow he met
who would talk TO him was an old
friend, Blake Harper, owner Of the
Fort Smith club Of the Western
association. 1t was Harper who
greeted Martin as follows when he
appeared for work at Fort Smith
years before:
What's your name"
Johnny Martin
Nope" said Harper. You're
Pepper Martin. There are toe
many Johnnies in the league now
And that was the way he got hi;

ODDS FAVOR
MACKS TODAY
Game Likely To Be Duel
Between Pepper And
Earnshaw
By ALAN GOULD
Associated Press SnOrtS Editor

ST. LOUIS, OCT. 9@R1- The
principals in each corner today,
with the World Series drama near
ing its grand climax, we're John
Pepper Martin and George Living
ston CThe Big Moose) Earnshaw,
with baseban's greatest prize At
stake.
1t loomed as one OF the "naturals'
Of a sporting decade, whether Earn
shaw went back to the firing line
for the Athletics today to check
the st. Louis Cardinals or was
withheld for a possible seventh
game, tomorrow, on the theory
Lefty Grove would be depended on
to beat Paul Derringer again and
square the count at three games
each.
The Martin bomber, leader OF the
Cardinals flying squadron, twice
has flown into action against Earn
shaw, the famous righthand ace OF
the world champions, in as dra-
matte a baseball show as the ma
tional game has known since
Walter johnson pulled the Senators
through 10 victory in 1924.
They have broken even, so far as
the results are concerned, although
Martin has had much the better of
the duel, SO far as his personal
score against Earnshaw is involved.
The first time they we're intro
duced, Martin literally stole" the
game from he AS star by rapping
two hits, stealing two bases and
scoring the only two runs OF the
game.
The Cardinals relied en- Martin
an their other outstanding fresh
man." Derringer, right-handed
pitcher, 10 beat EarnShaw, Al Sim
mons, the rest OF the Athletics and
give st. Louis, as well as the Ma
tional league, its first world cham
p!onship in five years.
The Cardinals returned from the
east, leading by three games to
two. after a succession OF thrilling
engagements with the club I'M has
been called the greatest Connie
Mack ever put together. They need
ed only one more victor. to dincn
the winners share OF the spoils,
representing a difference OF about
$1,000 per man.
Connie Mack may see his tower
Of BASEBALL dreams topping again,
as he did II years ago, but the old
master has not yet conceded defeat,
not with Earnshaw to carry the
main burden and Grove absolutely
confident he can redeem himself
for his erratic PITCHING so far.
Mainly because OF E~arnshaw, the
Athletics. even in st. Louis betting
circles, we're slight favorites to win
today and prolong the selS to the
limit for the first time in five
years. The experts figured Earn
shaw has just as much psycholo-
gical advantage over the Cardinals
as Martin has gained over the AS.

The midsummer dance given in the natatorium last night proved to be big success both for those attending and Mir Granberg, spon- sor of the dance. Starting at 9 o'clock, the dancing continued until sometime after 3 am, at which time those from Juneau left by special ferry for their homes. Both popular and old country music was featured by an orchestra of two &C., cordians and drums, which were re- lieved for a few numbers from choice records played on a big cleo tric combination radio. at
 The decorative scheme included great quantities of fresh alder trees and branches that were banked around the hall and formed bow CT of the musicians platform, giv- ing the old Nat" a pleasant at- mosphere of outdoor freshness and beauty.
