Take Fridays game-the crucial
sixth contest. Derringer almost
duplicated his exhibition of tenn
permanent in the opening game of
the series, which was his other start
in this championship battle.
EOR four innings, the former In
4 ternational League pitcher
looked even better than Grove.
Grove had allowed two hits, Der
ringer one. He had famed three
men; Grove, two. Then came the
tragic fifth.
Only two of the Athletics four
runs were due to hits. Haas walked
with the bases full. So did Simmons.
and the last walk resulted in Der
ringers removal from the game. A
veteran like Burleigh Grimes would
have speeded up in such a crises,
and probably weathered it. But
Derringer, nervous and figety,
showed a tempermental strain.
He blamed Umpire Nallin after
VIC SdhlC.
Il had the count three and two
on Haas, and the next ball was
right over. How Nallin could call it
ball is beyond me" Derringer said
Similarly in the first game. Der
ringer was unequal to a crisis, and
the game was lost. No pitcher ever
looked better than he did the first
two innings. He famed four men.
1t was three up and three down in
each of those innings. But in the
third, distressed over Scratchy sin
giles by Dykes and Williams, and
Haas double with two out, he
walked Cochrane to fill the bases
and then as a browning denouement
walked Simmons. forcing in a run

W 1O-Two days after Johnny

Seated in her humble home, Mrs
Martin recounted the steps in Pep

Pepper started with a grade school
team here. He was captain. He
played in high school for three
years. then quit school and became
a delivery boy.
"They have said Pepper never
went to high school," his mother
challenged. "He did. But there are
times when people don't have more
than enough money to live on. We
were poor and Johnny quit school to
earn needed money"
Martin played four years on
Oklahoma sandlots, then broke into
organized baseball in 1923 with
Ardmore, Okla, as a pitcher. The
ST. Louis Cards bought him in 1925
and sent him to FIT. Smith, Ark,

With their full strength avail
able, the Hose climaxed the 1881
season with surprising victory over
the Cubs in the city series. It was
the first time in five years they had
defeated their north side rivals.
A mid-season skirmish was the
only evidence of friction between
Bush and the Sox front office. Bush
sent Ted Lyons home while the club
was in the east because the pitcher
had a lame arm. Aft era few days
here Lyons was sent back by the
business office to reioin the team
in Detroit. Bush didn't use Lyons
for several weeks. At one time he
had but four starting pitchers avail
able, and one Of them was an mex
perienced rookie.
Bush succeeded Lena Blackburne
as Sox manager two years ago. A
native of In dianapolis, he began his
baseball career with an independent
team at Sault ste. Marie in 1905.
He has played with clubs at Sage
nav, Mich; South Bend, Ind, and
indianapolis.
He was drafted by the Detroit
Tigers in 1909 and played with That
club until 1921. He went to the
Washington Senators in 1922 and
managed the club in 1923. After
three years as pilot of the Indian
apolis A. A. club, Bush managed the
Pittsburgh Pirates two years and led
that club to the National League
championship in 1927.
