Joe Leslie Bush, the youthful
.twirler of the Philadelphia Athletics
who helped them to win the recent
world series. will probably go down
in baseball history as the youth who
learned more money in his first sea-
son in major league than any other
player. A conservative estimate of
Bush's earning capacity during 1913
makes him loom up $1,000 better off
than a year, ago. The chances are
Bush was down on the Athletics pay
roll for something like $4,000 for the
regular playing season. OF course
he got a full share of the winning end
Iof the worlds series receipts. which
amounted to S3.244 for the very good
reason that he was entitled to it, this
boosting his total to 1854. Bushs feat
in downing the Giants brought him
the remainder. it Is believed.
Stories to the effect that the Bos-
ton American League club will soon
have a change Of owners met prompt
denial, when President Ban Johnson
returned from an extended hunting
trip in Michigan. According to Mr..
Johnson, no change in control of the
Red Sox is contemplated. Since the
deposing of Jake Stahl hardly a week
has passed but a new deal involving
the ownership of the Red Sox was
sprung. Mr.. Johnson insisted that
there was no more authority for the
latest report than for any of the for
mer ones and that they were all with
out foundation In fact.
