Injuries limited Martin to 110 games that season, but he nonetheless repeated as stolen-base champion (23) and as an All-Star, even though his average dipped to .289.

He went to high school in the next year, but quit again to make deliveries for the Mistletoe Shoe Company at $12 per week.

He scored a ninth-inning run, but it was of little use; it was in the game in which Babe Ruth hit three home runs in leading the Yankees juggernaut to a 7-3 victory and a sweep of the Redbirds.Since Martin wasn’t getting playing time in the major leagues, he was better off returning to the minors, and that’s exactly what he did, being sent to Houston in 1929.
He pasted the ball at a .340 clip in 98 games, with 18 home runs and 38 stolen bases, and the Cardinals promoted him to Fort Smith (Arkansas), their team in the Class C Western Association. First row, left to right: Marty Marion, George Fallon, George Kurowski, Melvin Jurisich, Fred Schmidt, Augie Bergamo, Johnny "Pepper" Martin, Ken O'Dea. Left to right: Rip Collins, Ernie Orsatti, Jess Haines, Leo Durocher, Pepper Martin, Stu Martin, Joe Medwick, Virgil Davis, Tex Carleton and Jack Rothrock. Office In 1925, he posted a .340 batting average in 98 games for the Hunters and his contract was acquired by the St. Louis Cardinals
