shortstop baseball has ever known.
1t is freely predicted that the dimin-
utive Hoosier will be the base ball
sensation of the year. That's what
everybody said last fall before he
came to Detroit from Indianapolis. In
the closing hours OF the base ball year
OF 1908, Detroit saw Bush and his work
in those few days verified most Of the
predictions that had been made for
him.
He became the child of the hour. He
came when the pennant seemed lost to
Detroit and his marvellous work did
as much as anything else to bring the
championship to the city Of the straits.
Bush is great ball palyer. He is a
natural ball player.

tons he will have the same large num-
Der of students as formerly under his
