In this line IL is a peculiar fact that
the worst deal OF the Detroit club
viewed from the purely monetary point
OF view-was really about its best. To
great extent this deal illustrates The
element Of hazard which prevails in
the market for ball players.
In the fall of 1907 Detroit drafted, NJ
the request OF the indianapolis club
and for the comparatively insignifi'
cant sum OF $3.50. a colt shortstop
named Bush from q Central league
club He was at no time considered
factor in the Detroit club for the
coming year and was turned over The
following spring 20 Indianapolis az the
price paid for his release from the
Class B organization. Incidentally,
each Of the other clubs OF the Ameri-
can and National leagues missed
chance Of landing Mr.. Bush for $1,000,
so the Joke that follows Is not entirely
on the Tiger management
With indianapolis Mr.. Bush as any
well-posted bug will recall. developer

can association, which is commonly
attributed with bein6 the fastest OF tie

ed Bush. but there was no string AZ
tached 10 his release and Mr.. Nayin-
who Is the clubs recruiting agent
was forced 10 go inro the market and
bid against the other clubs who were
after the same player, and this includ-
ed virtually all the world OF big-league
baseball
Mr. N1vin went a bit farther than
the others cared 10 go and landed Bush
for the sum OF s., 500 cash The local
had sold and bought back
q player within six months at net
loss OF $500. Bush came TO the Tigers
before the end OF the American league
season and helped most materially In
the capture OF the American league per-
nant. Last year he accepted more
chances than any shortstopper who
has ever performed on a baseball heid
and acquitted himself with great
credit in all departments OF the gam.

deal as one OF the best he ever pu,
