In the third game OF the championship

pedestal by the savage batting Of his
teammates. but the major portion Of
the glory was accorded by both fans
and players to the youngster. who
startled the diamond veterans with
his speed and control in his debut in

While his pitching was not as spec

was Of the calibrc that entities him TO

Boston Red Sox, and Babe" Adams, Of
the Pittsburgh Pirates who performed
similar feats OF twirling valor in past
worlds series.
So effective was Bushs pitching that
the Giants secured but hve hits. and
three OF these were OF the scratch va
riety. Only thre. Of the twenty seven
putouts credited 10 the Athletics were
made outside the infeld. and there We're

Bush Is Favored.
Bush made his leap into the lime

Disappointment among the Giants
contingent over the downfall Of Tes-
reau was keen. The Ozark Mammot IN
was looked upon before days game
as the Giants second best card But
although he had his moist ball deliv-
