Years ago Rogers Hornsby asked
me to come out and look at a young
pitcher with buggy whip" arm.
His name was Lon Warneke, the
pride of Mount Ida, Ark.
Lon Warneke has these great
qualities-he is great fellow, a
great pitcher and he can chew
more tobacco than any tobacco
chewing expert ever saw.
Lon not only has had a buggy
whip arm, but in addition he has
had more than his share of brains
and courage. Lon is lean and thin,
until he gets that extra cud of to-
bacco in his mouth.
He came from the Cubs to the

Mortin Is True Spirit
Of Baseball Player.

To me Pepper Martin is the true
spirit of baseball. I've known and
followed ball players for 40 years.
but when it comes to the vital spark
I'll trail with the country kid who
once played barefooted, who re-
ported first to the Cardinals by
hitchhiking and walking from Ok
lahoma to Bradenton. Fla.
If Pepper Martin isn't great
ball player. then we never have had
a great ball player.
The Pepper has the arms OF a
village blacksmith. AS Langdon
Smith once wrote in one of the
great American poems, "he is also
thewed like the Auroch Bull" Pep
per has more than his share of
physical power. But he has triple
his share of heart and spirit. To
me, in this respect, he is still the
top guy.
A few years ago in Florida in an
exhibition game when the Cardi-
mails were leading, to l, in the
eighth inning, I saw Pepper nearly
break his sunbaked neck stealing
third It didn't make any sense,
but that's Johnny Pepper Martin.
I only wish the mob knew him as
the ball players do.
The ball game was on and I was
trying to interview the Pepper. A
sad mistake. The Pepper on the
bench still was right in the middle
of that ball game. He was bawling
out the umpire and the rival
pitcher. He was bowling encourage
ment to his own mates. Finally
there was lull.
How is your band getting on?"
I asked
Not enough social Glass;" Pepper
said. I'm now working on the cor
rect Harvard accent. We shouldn't
say this bum was passed. We
should say he was pawsed. We
shouldn't say he has fast ball.
We should say he has a fawst ball.
III get the hang of it in another
week"
How do you feel?" I asked him.
There's only one way to feel"
Pepper said, land that's great.
That's the way I feel. No alibis go
