MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1931. PAGE SIX 10 World Champs Unbowed by Wednesday Defeat Pep per Martin Gives A's New Experience and Worry ST. LOUIS. Oct. B-(AP) Gloomy drizzling weather greeted the Csrdl nals M they returned home today for the sixth game of the world -aerlea at Bporteman'e Park tomorrow. but the weather man promised good baseball weather for the game. "Fair tonight and Friday; slightly oooler tonight and somewhat war mer Friday afternoon," was the pre diction. By Alan Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor.) : ENROUTB TO ST. LOUIS WITH ATHLETICS, Oct. 8. (AP) The world champion Athletics sped westward today for the concluding world aeries drama, looking and acting like any thing but a club possibly on the verge of being shorn of Its title. They must win the sixth game to morrow at St. Louis to prolong the fight but they are already talking about the fun they will have with the Cardinals In the seventh and de ciding contest. To a man they oon alder the sixth game and another deadlock theirs for ths simple reason they do not see bow George Livings ton Earnahaw can lose. Mack Confident Connie Mack smiles and says "Yes, I have a lot of confidence In George." The players think Earnahaw certainly will pitch Friday and If he wine, they regard It likely the famous right hander will start the seventh game Saturday, with Lefty Grove In reserve both days. "The way I look at It." said Mickey Cochrane today, "Earnshaw has shown he can over-power the Cards that Is, all but this Martin. He haa ahown he can do the Iron man atunt. He told me yesterday he felt like pitching. He pitched successive games in both the IMS and 1930 aerlea with only a day In between." Earnahaw la one of the few who tfoesnt participate In the general hi larity of the world champions en route. Big George prefers relaxation and a quiet conversation to the bois terous exohange of wise-cracks or poker game. He looks' very muoh like great right-handed pitcher who felt oonfldent he could "bear down" on the opposition and smother them whenever required. He's the one big reaaon why the A'e an still oonfldent they will take two In a row and win the series. Martin In Talk You hear plenty about a young gent named Martin In the gabfeets of the world champions, "When Martin came to bat about the third time yesterday," remarked Cochrane, "I aald to him: "Say, kid, don't you ever pop out?" He came right back: 'I'm Just In there swing ing and getting the breaks'," It Is a new experlenoe for the A's this business of being raided, ' her raesed and generally made to appear trifle foolish by a rookie, but It haa gone tar enough now ao that they can laugh about the sheer audacity and brilliance of the Cardi nal outfielder. There may be a bit of worrv behind the laughs but the A'a have the gallantry to take their hats off to a youngster able to come through aa Martin haa done with very resource of a great team and famous manager put agalnat him. "1 dont know bow to. atop hlm,M admitted Cochrane. "He haa hit everything we have tried against him high or low, fireballs or elowballa." To Use Bishop, Haas Mack's ehake-up of his lineup in the fifth game, with McNalr replac ing Bishop at second, Jim Moore go ing to the outfield In plaoe of Haas, waa believed merely a one-day emer gency measure designed to break through Wild BIU Hallahan'a defense. Both Bishop and Haaa likely wlU tart tomorrow, especially If Burleigh Crimea la ttx cardinal pitching ehotos. The A'e believe that with Earnahaw invincible and Grove "due" they have an edge In pitching over the Cardi nals, who must rely on Grimes and Hallahan without giving either his customary rest. Earnahaw, In Cochrane opinion, wa never taster than In winning the fourth game. The A'e backstop met Jim Collins. Card plnch-hltter who truck out, and was asked whether one of Big Oeorge'a strikes had much of a break on It. "Only about a foot," Cochrane replied. "I thought o." said Collins, "but I'm not sure I saw It." New Gymnasium to Rise at Chicago U CHICAGO. Oct. 8. (AP) Coach A. A.

Moving to Copiah county with his father and mother while a lad In his early teens, Martin had the one re quisite frequently found In the great be was a poor boy forced to go to work. He severed his connection with the local high school and chose that which he loved best for an oc cupatlon 4aseball. Players such a Buddy Myers, Joe Edwards, Watson Clark, Jim Llndsey, Llsenbee, Bill Terry, Moore, now with the Athletics, Joe Brennan and a acora of other equally famous names comprised the rostera at McComb, Brookhaven, Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs, the four towns In the lea gue of the tomato belt.

Miles, slightly bewildered at such affront, looked the lanky lad over and said, rather caustically, "and I guess you hit 'em like Ruth.' Not the least abashed, Martin replied: "Ruth hits 'em pretty far," and with a shake of his head added, "but I hit 'em pretty far myself, Mr. Miles." Martin got the Job.
