    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 5 (1992) Hail to the real ‘redskins’ All Indian team from Hominy, Okla. , took on all comers By Arthur Shoemaker Buried deep in the dusty files of the Hominy ( Okla. ) News is this account of a professional football game between the Avant Roughnecks and the Hominy Indians played in October 1924: “Johnnie Martin, former pitcher for the Guthrie team of the Oklahoma State League, entered the game in the fourth quarter. On the first play, Martin skirted right end for a gain of 20 yards. However, Hominy was penalized 15 yards for Martin having failed to report to the referee. On the next three plays, the backfield hit the line for a first down. With the ball on the 20-yard line, Martin again skirted right end for the winning touchdown.” This speedy, high-stepping halfback was none other than Pepper Martin, star third baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals’ “Gas House Gang” of the 1930s. Pepper became famous during the 1931 World Series when the brash young Cardinals beat the star- studded Philadelphia Athletics four games to three. Nowhere is Pepper more fondly remembered than in the land of the Osage. For all his fame as a baseball star, he’s best remembered as a spectacular hard-running halfback on Oklahoma’s most famous and most colorful professional football team, the Hominy Indians. It was here that Pepper was called the “Wild Horse of the Osage.” The football team was organized in late 1923 at a time when Hominy was riding the crest of the fantastic Osage oil boom.
