PEPPER MARTIN APPEARS TO BE THE BIG SHOW Cardinal Fielder Lowest Salaried Man On Team’s Roster St. Louis. Oct. 9. (U.R) John (Pepper) Martin, a million dollar ball player drawing a five and ten cent salary, is the perfect world series hero—there’s never beetr one like him and the chances are there never will b“ another. 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 before stepped out to steal baseball's biggest show all by himself. lie has turned the world series from a clash between the two pennant winners into a battle be tween one of the most formidable; baseball machines of modern time! and an individual player. Almost all alone Martin threat- 1 ens to shatter the four-year su-| premaey of the American league.; and th' two-year dominaney of the Philadelphia Athletics. And the more the public learns about this Oklahoma thunderbolt the rtiore amazing is this almost incomparable world series play. , Martin is the cheapest paid player in the Cardinals' ranks. His salary is $1,500, less than one-j iourth of what such stars as Al, Simmons, Lefty Grove, Jimmy, Foxx and George Earnshaw draw | Many ordinary ball players get' twice as much as Martin. If the Cards win the world series. his cut will be about $1,400. giving him about S9.OtH) for the year. “Now. John, you take this money ■ and buy you a home while things ■ are cheap," Sam Beadon. president of the St. Louis club, advised him i yesterday. “Buy me a home nothing,” came back Martin. "Me and a pal of I mine are going to build one.” This dashing ball player who has a chance to break or tie seven j world series records hasn't let; < - -sb®! HOWW’II ' THEY DRINK THIS WINTER?

Your milk check will show that you are getting from 1 to 3 pounds of milk more from each cow every day all winter long if you install Jamesway Drinking Cups. Jamesway Drinking Cups make it possible for cows to drink according to cow nature—a little water every little while all winter long, right in the comfort of their own stall. | 1 Result is $4 to sl2 II extra profit from X r* every cow. , Cows herded out to an ice covered tank twice each day to shiver in the bitter cold wind; and to drink ice water .... can not or will not drink enough water to produce the came milk yield.

fame go to his head. When he came to bat the last time against Walberg in the fifth garni* at Philadelphia. Mickey ( i niam*. A’s 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,” replied Martin. "Say, I'm just as dizzy as you are." So Martin isn't only outplaying tiie A s but he's out-talking them, too. for most every one will agree Mickey Cochrane hasn’t quite lived up to his reputation as the game's greatest catcher. Even while every one is prais--1 ing him. Martin is making plans for improving his game. "1 can't bunt as well as I should,” ho says. If I could bunt I think i might be a star ball player. That's what I’ve got to do next spring practice bunting for hours every day until I master it." Outspoken, the swaggering, but : withal likeable, Martin, is never at a loss for words. Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis shook hands with Marin on the return trip from Pbila- ■ delphia and said: “Young man I envy you. I would like nothing better than to trade places with you." “It's all right with me. Judge.” answered Pepper. "I'll trade my $1,500 for your $50,000 any day." Martin, however, was wrong ■ about the commissioner's salary. ; It's $65,000. When Pepper was a raggy, ■ dirty-faced urchin playing ball on the sandlots at Oklahoma City, Babe Roth and Dutch Leonard were his idols, and now he threat- ' ens tc break one of the many records held by the Bambino. Ruth holds ihe highest batting average ever made in a world series, having hit .625 in the 1928 series. In five games to date Martin has bat- | ted .667. Martin has equalled the record tor the most hits in a world series held jointly by Buck Herzog of the 1912 Giants. Joe Jackson of the 1919 White Sox, Sam Rice of the 1926 Senators. He has made 12 hits in five games, whereas Herzog and Jackson made theirs in ’eight games, and Rice made his in seven. He needs .only one more 'double to tie Chick Hafey's record of five-two hits made in last year's series. He has stolen four bases, and is two short of the record made ;hy Jimmy Slagle of the Cubs in 1907. 1 He has scored or driven in 10 'of the 14 runs made by the Cards. His superlative offensive play has won 2 of the 3 games the Cards ihave copped. ' Before Martin rose to baseball fame he was a newspaper delivery boy in Oklahoma City, delivery boy for a shoe store, a filling station ' greaseneck,” a truck driver, a tinner's apprentice, a soda jerker, :* driver for golf balls in a country club lake, and a hobo. He rode the rods to the Cards' training I camp at Bradenton, Fla., this ■ spring. The Cards bought him from the I Greenville. East Texas league club j for $3,500 in 1925 and he was promised SSOO of the purchase money which he says he never has received. The Cards educated him at their farms at Ft. Smith. Syracuse, Houston, and Rochester before he finally made the grade I this season. o Jewish Jubilee In Jewish history the year of Ju ' hflee was every fiftieth year, and . was field sacred In memory of the deliverance from Egypt.

"You hear much talk about the petting parties of today, but they are not any worse than those held during the days of the horse and buggy.” Mr. Lutz stated his long exper ience in the practice of the law showed that there was less crime in Adams county today, than there was 40 years ago, despite triple Increase in population.

’CAPONE TRIAL • WITNESS TALKS —.— (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) “What else? I asked. " ’That’s all,’ Capone told me. "As a matter of tact aren’t you in the gambling business? " ’Well. I’m int: rested in a dog track in Cicero,’ !je answered me. "Isn’t that your main business? ( asked. ” ’Yes, it is.’ "There was little more said. He said he had no such interests in Miami.” Assistant District Attorney Dwight Green questioned Hawthorne. "Did the defendant say where he was interested in the gambling business,” Green asked. "life said in Chicago and Cicero. Taylor asked him why he located in Miami and Capone said he had purchased a home and was going to make it a home for his wife." Tne witness was turned over for cross examination. Michael Ahern, defense attorney, conferred with Capone. Apparently Capone was suggesting questions to he aksed. “There was quite a stir in Miami ! when the rumor that Al Capone I was living there got around, wasn’t j there?” Ahern asked. “Yes." "The people were quite incensed?” "Yes.” “You say Capone told you he was 'in the gambling business.” “Yes." i "Did your office take any action on the matter?” “No.” I Ahern was about to turn over i tlie witness as Capone half rose in liis chair and struck his kunckles . angrily against the back of his cousel's chair. He raised his voice. ' After arguing with his counsel Capone sat back and Ahren asked: “Wasn’t there a petition signed by the people about this matter? Wasn’t that the reason for the i conference?” “No. 1 never saw any such thing." Hawthorne’s testimony regarding Capone's visit followed that of Elmer 1. Irey, chief of the intelli- | pence department of tlie bureau of internal tevenue at Washington, who told of a conference between himself and Lawrence Mattingly, Capone’s Washington attorney, reigarding settlement of Capone’s infcome tax. Irey was the first of a group of J witnesses through which the gov|ernnient hopes to clinch its con- , tention that a letter Mattingly wrote to tlie bureau of internal tevenue offering to compromise on tax payments was in fact a con session of conspiracy to evade pay | ment.
