Three ringing hits off the bat
of the irrepressible "Pepper"
Martin, one a round tripper with
Frisch on base, accounted for
four of . five runs and gave , the
St. Louis Cardinals a three to
two advantage in games, making
it necessary for the series to go
the full sever games for the
Athletics to win ihe series.' The
final score was 5-1.
"Wild Bill" Hallahan scattered
the Mackmen's nine hits, but
most of the credit goes to Nthe
Carindals' star rookie center
gardener, young "Pepper" Mar
tin. The first time up Martin,
shifted to the clean-up position
because of his terrific hitting,
flied out to leftfield, but High
scored op the play, to give St.
Louis its first run of the game.
In the fourth inning Martin
reached first by out running a
short bunt down'the first base
line. In the sixth frame Frisch
doubled to open the inning.
Martin followed with a long
home run into the upper deck of
the left field bleachers. In his
final trip to the plate, in the
eighth, Martin singled between
second and first, scoring Wat
kins. Mickey Cochrane's strong
arm reached out and Martin was
caught stealing second. It was
the first time in the series that
Martin had been caught steal
ing. Martin tied the record for hits
in a world series, set by Joe
Jackson in 1909, his single in the
eighth making twelve. In
eighteen trips to the plate Mar
tin has hit safely twelve times
for the terrific average of .666.
The Athletics lone run came
in the seventh. Simmons fol
lowed Cochrane's fly to Frisch
with his third hit of the day, a
single to left. Foxx followed
with a single through the box.
Simmons scored on . Miller's
grounder to High, for the Ath
letics' only run of the game.
Simmons, with two singles
and a double in four trip3 to the
plate, and Foxx, with two sin
gles and a walk in four attempts,
led the" Athletic attack. Martin,
with a homer and two singles,
and Frisch with a double and a
single in four attempts, led the
Red Birds. .Bottomley, and Wil
son, also gathered a brace of sin
gles. -
The Athletics threatened ' in
the fifth, but brilliant support by
"Sunny Jim" Bottomley averted
the rally. Simmons singled
through the pitcher's box. Foxx
walked. Miller in an attempted
sacrifice popped up to Bottom
ley. Bottomley ran in to within
twelve feet of home to take the
attempted bunt. Bottomley fol
lowed that up with a beautiful
catch of a foul out in right, after
a long run. Hallahan struck out
Williams to end the inning.
"Wild Bill" was the victim of
hard luck. Foxx and Simmons
both hit the Cardinal ace with
hard smashes through the box,
Simmons' liner striking him on
the leg and bounding into left
field, while Foxx's drive caught
him in the shoulder and bound
ed into right.
Adams started at third for the
Cards but caught a "charley
horse" going to first on his sin
gle in the opening frame.
There will be no game today,
the teams being en roite to St.
Louis, where the series will be
resumed Friday. If trie Cardi

High Spots
Of The Series
By TOM WALKER
The Cardinals are certainly
giving the St. Louis fans a treat
in coming to the home roost with
a three-two edge over the A's.
Hallahan was hit rather hard,
but the hits , didn't mean much
due to the fine support the rest
of the Cards gave him. L
Intramurals
This little hunk of all that
is necessary in a baseball player,
"Pepper" Martin, should be
mentioned for All-Something-or-Other.
He got a home run into
the left field bleachers yesterday
to bat in his third and fourth
runs for the day, and his single
in the eighth, his twelfth hit of
the series, tied the all-time series
hitting record set by Joe Jack
son in seven games of the 1909
series. ,
Sigma Phi Sigma Overwhelmed
In the only game that was not
close, Delta Kappa Epsilon
walked over Sigma Phi Sigma to
the tune of 44 to 0.
After the opening whistle the
outcome was never in doubt.
D. K. E. started the scoring at
once and continued to score
throughout the game. Lineber
ger with three touchdowns to
his credit was high scorer of the
game while Craig who scored
twice was second high. Gold,
for the winners, played a nice
game.
Kappa Alpha Loses Close Game
Griffith was the only man
that was able to score in a nip
and tuck battle between Sigma
Nu and Kappa Alpha. Although
Kappa Alpha made the most
first downs, Sigma Nu was able
to score once to take the game
7 to 0. '
Both teams seemed capable
of taking tne ball to the zero
line but, aside from the one
score, neither had the punch to
make a tally.
Old West Victorious
In the . most exciting game of
the afternoon Old West took a
hard fought game from Graham
6 to 0. The lone score came after
a long pass had been thrown
from Poole to Gunter who
crossed the touchdown line.
Graham stopped many efforts
made by Old West to score. In
the closing minutes Old West
twice took the ball to the three
yard line only to lose it.
Another Close Game

"Sparky" '.Adams, Cardinal
third baseman, led off the first
inning with a single, but his
charley-horse is still troubling
him and he retired in favor of
Andy High, who ran for him
and scored the firstrun for the
winners. .
The Athletic batsmen appar
ently have an extreme dislike for
Hallahan In the fifth Simmons
hit a hard ball which caught the
Card pitcher on the leg. Foxx
hit Hallahari's shoulder in the
seventh to get his first hit of the
day.
'Dib" Williams, Philadelphia
shortstop, fumbled Hallahan's
hard drive twice, but still had
time to. throw Bill out at first
for the final out in the second
inning.
Martin had the A's all tied up
in a knot in the fourth. He
bunted down the first base line,
and ran it out. Hoyt threw
eight times to first attempting to
catch "Pepper," but the little
man was too fast.

tober 7, is as follows:

on in the fifth, he ran up to
within twenty feet of the plate
to catch Miller's attempted bunt,
which turned out to be a little
pop-up. Jim then went back to
ward the stands to get Dykes'
foul to make two unassisted p'ut
outs for that inning.
Hallahan showed the fans
why he has the nickname "Wild
Bill" by throwing a ball up
against the screen behind home
in the seventh. However, Bill
issued only one walk, that going
to Foxx to run the Philadelphia
first baseman's string of walks
to six for the series.
In the fourth, old Max Bishop
turned in a beautiful catch of
Wilson's low drive. The aged
veteran stooped to catch the
ball, and without getting up he
threw to Foxx to make a double
play.
A double play in the second by
the Cardinal infield ruined the
first chance to score that the A's
had. Simmons had doubled,
Foxx was out, and Simmons
thought that he had time to go
home on Bishop's grounder to
Gelbert at short. Gelbert, not
looking at Simmons, threw Mil

In an effort to iron out the
most glaring errors that were
evident in the Vanderbilt game
last Saturday, Coach Collins ran
his charges through a spirited
scrimmage yesterday which last
ed for an hour and a half. In
this scrimmage both the varsity
scrubs and the freshman teams
offered opposition in the form
of Florida plays.
After the usual limbering up
exercises and a short signal
drill, the varsity played on the
defense against the scrubs who
were usms: the Florida attack.
Though this team could not exe
cute the lateral pass in any
where near the perfection the
Gainesville team is reputed, it
was evident that this form of,
attack will cause the Tar Heels
no little worry. The same team
that started the Vanderbilt
was running as the first, and,
although they looked good in this
defensive drill they were sore

When Carolina meets Florida
i at Gainesville Saturday, the Tar
Heels will find themselves out
weighed for the third time this
season. . Carolina's starting
backs will. average about 160
pounds, while the linemen will
probably average 180. On the
other hand, Florida presented a
187-pound line and a 170-pound
backfield against State.
One of the chief reasons for
the low average of the Carolina
line is that the Tar Heels have
at left guard Henry ("Butch")
Mclver, weighing only 164
pounds. Mclver is one of the
lightest linemen in the Confer
ence, but despite this he ranks
Inear the top in ability. His
slashing brand of play on de
fensive and his aggressiveness
on offense made him one of the
big noises in Carolina's 37-0 vic
tory over Wake Forest. Last
week against the heavy Vander
bilt forwards Mclver was again
