James “Ripper” Collins, who rc- placed the slugging Chick Haley in lcft field for tho Cards, proved more than just a substitute by knocking the ball over the right field pavilion in the seventh for the only home run of the game. Pepper Martin, 11cm of last sca- smfs world series, reminded the fans that he is up to old tricks, by stealing a base.
