JUMPS up AGAINST IT
ON PECULIAR PLAY

1.-THE greatest mixup ever saw
on a ball field occurred in 81"
said Owney Gaghan, land / see 1t
was duplicated somewhere in In
diana the other day. which reminds
me of the story.
1.-TWO amateur teams were play
ing a hot game, and along in the
seventh inning, with man on
third and another on second, the
signal was passed for a hit and
run, the man at bat being peach
|of pinch hitter.
"But it happened that the catch
|er was a wise old owl, and just
as the ball came up he pulled off
the old trick of tipping the bat
las the fellow swung, so that ne
missed. Then like flash the
catcher damned the ball to the
third baseman.
GAS they started running down
1.-THE man caught between third
and home, the catcher made a
bum heave and the ball struck the
runner on the breast, rolling in
lside his shirt, which was open at
the neck. AS soon as the ball
slipped inside the runner hiked
flor the plate, the ball rolling
around until 1t lodged along his
backbone.
Gas he ran past the catcher that
individual grabbed the shirt where
the ball stuck out and tagged the
runner. who continued until he
crossed the plate. as did the man
who had been on second.
"The umpire was up against It.
HE finally called the runner out.
because the catcher had interfered
with him in grabbing his shirt.
1.-The decision started a fight in
which all hands were more or less
used up. I see that in the Indiana
case, which happened a few days
ago, the umpire declared the sec,
lond runner out because the first
man ran away with the ball"

|SBAS0NAB&G SPORTS
COULDN'T PUT ON HIS UNIFORM
DIVINE BUSH eREEMEST KID EVER


You wouldn't think Ownie
Bush, Detroit's sensational short
fielder. was once SO green he
didn't know how to put on a uni
form, but he was.
Three years ago this kid, who is
now setting the American league
on fire, didn't know any more
about base ball than a cat knows
about calculus.
This was in 1905. mind you.
Bush reported to Ed Mexican, at
Dayton, looking for job. He was
so tiny there didn't seem to be
much chance for him. He was
quick as streak of forked light
ming, however, and Tommy Smith,
now with Shiloh Of the X. /. o.
league. undertook to teach him
the finer points of minor league
base ball.
bush drew a locker alongside
Smiths, and after several days OF
practice the pair grew chummy.
Bush was as full of promise as
the air is of clews after murder.
and quickly learned how to tag
runners without being spiked, how
to get the ball away fast, and
other fine points of the infield
game.
One day, while dressing, Bush
leaned over and whispered to
Smith. Tommy. don't know how
to wear uniform right. can get
the thing on, but ! don't wear 1t
like you fellows. don't know
how to keep my stockings up"
Smith showed him how. You
turn the pants inside out" said
Smith, then put your feet
through the knee holes like this,
and roll your stockings and part
of the pant leg down over your
knee like this" AS Smith talked
he illustrated the method used by
players to prevent their stockings
falling around their feet.
That's new to me" said Bush.
1--WE always wondered how a fel-
low could prevent his stockings
falling. l guess / won't look like
some sport out in that infield
now" and he pulled his uniform
on under Smiths directions. None
of the others knew the kid did not
know how to wear his uniform.
| Bush was tried out, but did not
look good enough, so Mexican sent
him to Marion with Duggen, a
southpaw, now in the Southern
league. Near the end of the sea-
son Marion blew up, and Bush was
recalled. He was used at short,
but did not want to play with
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-07-16

Dayton, preferring to go to Nash
vile with Duggen.
The following year Bush was
handed to South Bend, and Aggie
Grant made ball player of him.
He learned to bat from the left
side of the plate, and became a
whirlwind at short. The next sea-
son he went to Indianapolis, beat
three men out of the short field
job and was sold to Detroit, where
his playing practically won the
second pennant for the Tigers.
And down in New York, this
item appeared the other day:
The next time Detroit comes
to New York we hope Ownie Bush
misses the train" That's going
some for boy who couldn't put
on his uniform three years back.
