victory over tho New York Giants I'm the
third game of the championship struggle,

the savage batting of his team mates,
but the major portion of the glory was
accorded by both fans and players to
~ youngster In his startling debut in
worlds series.
While his pitching was not as
spectacular as that of the veterans
N~athewson and Plank yesterday, Las
box work entitled him to a niche along
side Hugh Rcdient of the Boston Red
Fux and Babe" Adams of the PittsburS
Pirates, who performed similar fcats Of
twirllng valor in past worlds series.
The Giants secured but five hits and
three OF these were of the scratch order.
Only three of the % put outs credited
to tho Athletics were made outside the
infcld. and there were innings on a
stretch when the Giants never drove the
ball out of the diamond.
Bush made his leap into the limelight
under the most favorable circumstances,
Tor his hard hitting team mates tore
into 1csreau with n fusilladc-o of hits in
the first two innings that nettcd five
runs.
Murphy. Oldring. Collins and Baker,
.hc first four on Connie Mack's batting
list, between them made nine of the
y hits and these nine hits scored seven
of the eight runs that made the victory
so one sided. The eighth run was u
terrific home run drive by Schang into the
far end of the right field stand. In marked
contrast were the five hits scattered
through nine innings that marked the
Giants efforts with the bat. Not a single
National League representative secured

only one good for more than one base.
Bush, who will not be 20 yearss Of
age until November -. did not pitch

guessing and his quick changes of pace
and delivery was an added handicap t."
the Giants. He walked four batters and
hit a fifth. but each time his nerve and
the brilliant fielding of his team mates
soon lifted him back to safety.
The victory of Bush. vino halls from

exceedingly popular with the Athletic
PLAYERS and the club adherents. 1t has
been known for some time that he had
great possibilities but until he stood to-

any big league player.
Bullet joe" as he has been nick
named because of his great speed,
broke into baseball as an amateur in
his home town. His first professional en-
was with the MiSsoula, Mont
team of the Union Association. He
joined the Mack men in September. Il
year ago. Tonight his admirers are
predicting for him a future record
like those achieved by Walter john
son. Christy Mathewson and Cy YounS.
Disappointment among the Giants
contingent over the downfall of Tes-
roau was keen. r'hc Ozark mammoth
was looked upon before to-daY's game
as the Giants second best card. When

out of the box in Tuesdays game. the
loyal adherents pinned their faith to

master did more than was expected

heavily before the Athletics vicious

but for sensational stops and throws
by Doyle, Fletcher and HerZog at crit

capt. Larry DOYLE worked desper-
ately and his stops and throws in the
second and seventh innings were of
the brand that has made Honus Wag-
ner's name famous. Eddie Collins
carried Off the fielding honors for the
Athletics, although there were plays
made by other members of both teams
that would have been considered lit

league season game.
