Chris CountsDavid,
I've seen a video clip, which comes from the first volume of the "When It Was A Game" series, which shows Pepper Martin playing pepper. There's a myth that Martin invented the game, but I've also read that the House of David barnstorming team perfected the art of pepper a decade earlier in the 1920s. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Martin was named Pepper because of his skill at pepper. Anyway, the video clip is a real gem, and amazingly, it's in color (as is almost everything in the 3-CD series). And it's easy to find on eBay for a very reasonable price ...
