New York, Oct. "a new star APP
peared in the worlds series baseball
armament today when Leslie Bush
pitched the Philadelphia Athletics to
victory over the New York Giants in
the third game OF the championship
struggle, s to Bush was material
ly aided by the savage batting of his
teammates, but the major portion OF
the glory was accorded by both fans
and players to the youngster in his
startling debut in a worlds series
While his pitching was not as spec
tacular as that of the veterans Ma
thewson and Plank yesterday his
box work entities him to niche
along side Hugh Bedient of the Bos
ton Red Sox, and Babe Adams OF
the Pittsburg Pirates, who performed
similar feats of twirling valor in
pasG, worlds series.
The Giants secured but five hits
and three of these were OF the
scratch order. Only three OF the q
put outs credited to the Athletics
were made outside the infield and
there were innings on stretch when
the Giants never drove the ball out
OF the diamond.
Bush made his leap into the lime
light under the most favorable cir
cumstances for his hard-hitting team
mates tore into Tesreau with a fusil-
lade of hits in the first two innings
that netted five runs.
Murphy, Oldring, Collins and Bak-
err, the first four on Connie Mack's
batting list, between them made nine
of the IL hits and these nine hits
scored seven of the eight runs that
made the victory so one sided. The
eighth run was q terrific home drive
by Schang into the far end of the
right field fence.
In marked contrast was the five
hits scattered through nine innings
that marked the Giants efforts with
the bat. Not a single National league
representative secured two hits and
Skaters double was the only one
good for more than one base.
Bush, who will not be 20 years of
age until November ~. did not pitch
phenomenal ball. but his delivery had
entirely too much speed and break
for the Giants during their first in

hurler. Bush was wild enough to
keep them guessing and his quick
changes of pace and delivery was an
added handicap to the Giants.
He walked four batters and hit
iitth, but each time his nerve and
the brilliant fielding of his team.
mates soon lifted him back to safety.
