CLASH DIFFICULT
FOR FAN TO DOPE
By IIF.IIIIKRT W. BARKER
(Associated Press Sports Wrltsr)
NEW YORK, Oct. 10(AP) It
may be a fight for tha "American
heavyweight championship" to the
promoter, but to the experts the
forthcoming scrap between Primo
Camera and Jack Sharkey looks
more like the "battle ot twin
enigmas.1
Certainly promoter Jimmy John'
ston might have looked far and wide
without discovering two other heavy-
welghte over whose capabllltlea such
violent and widespread controversy
has arisen. Their lS-round duel In
Ebbets' field, Brooklyn, Monday nlgnt
should settle once and for all Just
what right Sharkey has to hla posi
tion of "permanent outstanding con
tender." By the same token, tha
bout ehould decide definitely Car
nera's statue among the heavy
weights. Sharkey has been tha prize mys
tery man ot the boxing Industry
ever sine he waa knocked out by
Jack Dempsey In 1037.
As for Carnra, many close ob
servers have put him down in the
book as a "frenk" of no sal fighting
ability. Strlbtlng proved In Europe
that tha big Italian, desplta hla 370
pounds, could be floored.
The betting odds favor Sharkey
at 6 to 8.

(Associated Press Sports Writer)
ST. LOUIS, Oct. mjWAP) John
Pepper" Martin knows that he U
a fine outfielder. He knows that he
can hit, field, and run basea. But
he Is absolutely certain that an even
greater pitcher was wasted when
big league managers converted blm
to center field.
1 could handcuff these guys," he
Insists. "What a fast ball I had.
what a curve. . Gee, I'd like to be
a big league pitcher."
Perhaps It isn't generally known
that Pepper, the hitting, base-run
ning, glamorous Cardinal hero of
the world series, broke Into baseball
as a right handed pitcher. And he
almost passed out of It for good as
a second baseman and a shortstop.
That was way back In his Okla
homa days. Tou see Pepper was
born 27 years ago In Temple, Okla,
down near the Texas border, but his
father, something of a politician, got
a Job In the capital at Oklahoma
City and moved the family there.
When It cam to playing baseball,
which Pepper loves above everything
else In the world perhaps except
hunting, Oklahoma City offered him
little. He was 19 when he lost his
Job as assistant lineman with an
electric light and power company for
going off duck hunting, and of
course with his Job he lost his place
on the company ball team.
Someone suggested that he try pro
ball, but Pepper couldn't see where
he was good enough for that, but
It was worth a try. To his amaze
ment Guthrie, In the Oklahoma
league, took him on to test his claim
that , he was a shortstop and a
pitcher.
Pepper lasted three days as a snort-
stop. His fielding was the wlordest
ever seen, even In the Oklahoma
league. But he Insisted he could
pitch, and he did. He once out
pitched Carl Hubbell, now the ace
left-hander of the New York Giants,
and one day he won both games of
a double header for Guthrie against
Brlstow. The league blew up the .
vllle In the east Texas circuit. . 1
Martin will never forget Green
vlUe,' where he first came to the
attention of the Cardinals In 1025.
An old major leaguer was playing
second base, his last stand. He was
old and slow and fading fast. When
going badly he used to drop out ot
the game and put Pepper at second.
Pepper was so terrible that the fans
would soon be calling for the old
timer again, bad as he was.
From Greenville Martin went to
Fort Smith, a part of the Cardinal
system, and they sent him to Syra
cuse in the old International league
in 1928. Burt Shotton, now of the
Phillies, was the manager. Burt
took one long look at the gawky, f
powerful youngster, playing soccer
with the ball out by second base.
Til have to get out of this
league." he sighed. "It's getting too
tough for me."
But that didn't faze Pepper. He
was hitting. He always could hit.
The Cards shipped him to Houston,
another link of their extensive farm
chain, In 1927.
"What are you?" Branch Rickey
asked him.
"A pitcher," Pepper insisted.
"No sir," the manager butted In.
"You're a second baseman. You can't
fool me."
"All right " said Rickey, "let's not
argue. Let's compromise. You're
an outfielder."
And the baseball world has some
slight suspicion today that Rickey
s right.
