PEPPER MARTiT WINS FOR CARDS Stars As Cardinals Win Twin Bill; Take Two New York, July 1 <U.R> ~ar' rel chested John Leonard (Pepper) Martin, discarded from the National league all-star team for the first time since the annual extravaganza began four years ago, turned hack the pages of baseball history to 1931 to remind a fickle public today that he still is the slugging, sliding "wild horse ot the Osage.” Pepper didn't actually say "now ' look here, what do you mean leav-1 iug me off the National league all-. stars why I won a world series almost singlehanded hack there tor the Cardinals in "11." His| answer was a dramatic exhibition that Pepper Martin is one of the ' greatest "money players" of all time. The fun-loving, harmonicaplay ing Pepper, just as keen, fast and tough as ever, combined his wits I and brawn yesterday Io win a; couple of ball games for the Cards They were important games, too. The chips were down and John L. came through. The double-barrel-ed victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates broke the Cards’ first-place tie with the Chicago Cubs and gave them a full game margin of leadership. The fact that Pepper was not the choice of the fans in a nation wide ballot to determine personnel of the all-star aggregations, nor was he named by Charley Grimm in his five personal selections, probably doesn't mean a hoot to him. He would rather , spend his off day tinkering with; fits midget automobile racer, anyway. It remains, however, that Martin deserved a berth on the senior circuit squad it ever a player did.

While Mace Brown handcuffed the Cards with three hits in the first game yesterday, it was Martin's triple which brought his namesake, "Stu” Martin, home with the tying run. It didn't take a hit to bring Pepper home. He marched in with the winning tally of a 2 to 1 game after Paul Wan|er had caught Meickick's fly.

GRASSHOPPERS PLAGUE STATE Indiana Farms Are Plagued By Hordes Os Grasshoppers laifayette, Ind.. July 1 (I P)** A grasshopper horde greater than in many years plagued Indiana fields today while apprehensive farmers planned methods to control the Insect pests. Damage was parliculury heavy in the northern counties where alfalfa, wheat cowpeas, corn and other crops have he*u stripped. The heavy increase in the insect pants over last year 'brought a warning from J. J. Davis, Purdue University entomologist, who urged immediate control to prevent a greater plague in 1937. “Grawhopperti to run In cycles and once they become abundant (hey are likely to continue abundant and destructive for two or more years.” Prof. Davis said. The insects are matnrlhg now and if not noon destroyed they will begin laying eggs which will hatch early next May, he pointed out. He recommended use of poison bran bait compounded ot coarse bran, paris green, white arsenic of sodium arsenite and mollaoses and water — scattered over infested areas at ten pounds to the acre. Plowing invested areas Is the beet .method of control after the egg-laying period. Prof. Davie advised. "The eggs ate deposited by the females alront an inch below the surface of the soli and plowing makes it impossible for most of them to mature." he Baid. 69,000 Workers To Receive Employment Indianapolis.
