FINDING OF BUSH

BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. 1S.-Leslie
bush. the phenomenal pitcher of the
Athletics who humbled the Giants, Is
about nineteen years old and, like Ben
der, the great Chippewa Indian pitcher,
was born in Brainerd. Bush Is the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John W. Bush and
went to school in Brainerd. He did his
first ball playing when his father was
on the road. Bush Sr., being a pas
senser conductor on the Minnesota and
International railway.
In the family, all boys, are Charles.
now twenty-five: Eddie. aged twenty
two; Leslie. nineteen: Richard eighteen.
one months Bush played in tho Brain
erd nine and at first was used in the
field and on third base. No one knew
he had much talent for pitching until
one day when Brainerd was playing at
st Cloud in 1911 an imported pitcher
ager bounced the fake pitcher and as
a last resource put Bush on the mound.
The boy astounded the ST. Cloud bat
ters. for he held them runless and hit
less the balance of the game When
Brainerd played Little Falls, Bush won
out. His brother, Charles, played Sec
ond base and when he continued to
mum balls, Leslie shut OF any more
throws in that direction, shrugged his
shoulders, took no more chances on
fielders and won the game by his pitch
Ing alone.
When the 1872 season was about to
start. the Brainerd team manager con-
sidered the plan Of paying Bush 800
a month to play for Brainerd. In the
meantime railroad men had talked up
the young pitcher out West and some
one got Cliff Blankenship to take him
for a try-out.
Bush came to me- said Blankenship
later, "as green a pitcher as you ever
saw. Why he didn't know how to stand
In the box" But Cliff knew good ma
terial in the rough, and he said then
that Bush was a conner and had as
much speed and stun as did Walter
Johnson when he was picked up in Ida
no. With Blankenship catching. young
Bush was soon coached and the natural
ability in the boy asserted itself The
season closed with Bush doing his share
toward winning the pennant. In the
Union Association, composed of Mis-
soula, Salt Lake, Great Falls, Ogden,
Butte. and Helena, Bush was in fifty
four games and is credited with SO put

Changing Character
Of Trade District
Old Wholesale Section Below Prince
Street Is Deserted, and Activity
is Now Along Broadway.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE district
below Twenty third street in the Fifth
avenue and Broadway sections is rap
idly becoming wholesale and the new
center of the lace, embroidery ami
ribbon trades. Many large firms have
moved to that district within the last
three years from the old wholesale
section below Prince street. and 9TH
ers are gradually coming up.
1t is also interesting to note that
negotiations are in progress for large
space in the vacant Stern Building on
Twenty second and Twenty-th!rl
streets, and also for the Vantine and
Lord q Taylor Buildings, which will
be ready for occupancy by new firms
within a few months
This part of TIE city from a busi-
ness standpoint is in transition
state. Besides the vacancies caused
by large removals IL must be "e-
membered that a large amount of new
space has been provided in the tail
structures recently completed includ-
ing the 20-story building on the Con-
tinental Hotel eite at Broadway and
Twentieth street, and the lofts around
Madison Square. Loft renting on
the side streets is fairly satisfactory,
and the gradual movement Of the
wholesale trade is expected to i'm
prove conditions materially within the

RUBBER OUTPUT
DUE To Be GUT
by NEW SCHEME
London Plans Central Selling Of
flee to Maintain Prices-Some
Opposition Is Developing,

LONDON, Oct. 11.-An important
agitation is being conducted in PLAN
tation rubber circles here with the
object of forming a central selling
agency for the purpose of upholdins
prices. Part of the scheme includes
the standardization of plantation rub
Der, and it is also suggested that the
output should be restricted. The cause
of the agitation is the heavy fall in
the price OF plantation rubber and
the disparity between the quotation
of plantation grades and fine hard
Para rubber.
AS a result of the agitation, the
directors Of one of the biggest plantd-
tion rubber producers-the MalaccL
Company-have announced their will E
ingness to sell their entire output for
the next five years through a central
sales agency, provided that the age1-
cy controls at least 10000 tons O.:
next years crop. They stipulate, how
ever, that the services of the rubber
produce brokers should be retained.
This company's output last year ex-
ceeded 100000 pounds, and the 's-
timated production this year is $1,000
900 pounds.
Other groups are also supporting
the scheme, but there Is at the same
time a good deal of opposition to /;
on the part of those who do not be-
lieve in artificial methods of uphold
ing prices especially by restriction Of
output. Many expert observers are
doubtful whether the scheme will be
carried out, but all are agreed that
something must be done in the in
terests of shareholders to help the i'll
dustry
At the commencement Of the pres
ent year the price of standard nlan-
tation rubber stood about As cd per
pound since then it has declined over
so per cent. This fall has had verT
serious effect upon share values.

@ HOULD statesmen carry side
- lines?
Opinions of Atlanta manufac-
turers and jobbers differ, the general
belief being, however, that if statesmen
are paid salaries it is not proper to
work on the side, and that If on a
commission basis, it is.
According to the current issue of
The Bulletin of the National Associa-
tion of Credit Men, the attention of
that organization has been called to
the attempts made by some business
houses to sell their products as side
lines by making secret contracts with
travelling statesmen engaged by other
houses on regular salary basis. In
quiry among local business houses on
this point revealed a knowledge of the
condition referred to, but none of the
merchants seen was willing to con-
lecture as to the attitude of the sales
men regarding it. The attitude of the
House on the question was made plain
in several instances by the fiat state
ment that any proof of statesmen hav-
ing such contracts, whether they were
paid on a salary basis or commission,
would result IN instant dismissal.
Among statesmen interviewed on the
matter there was an opinion prevalent
that the knight of the grip" had no
right to enter into secret contracts
with other houses for handling side
lines, II paid by his employers on a
salary basis BY those who were paid
on a straight commission basis and
who paid their own expenses while on
the road, a different viewpoint was
taken.

Of course, that the handling of the
principal line did not suffer from the

goods were not so great as those COM

one instance was cited of textile

paid on a straight commission basis
for all three and settling his own road
expenses. This man, 1t was said,
would not take position in which he
would not be permitted to sell side
lines after he had made" a town with
his principal goods, and it was fur
ther said that there wasn't a house
in the city in his line of business who
wouldn't take him on If the oppor-
tunity offered.
The Credit Mems Bulletin suggests
that the best way to meet the matter
of secret contracts is to have a writ
ten agreement between the house and
the statesmen that they are to devote
their entire time to furthering the in
terests of the house. The danger of
being caught handling side lines with
this agreement in existence would, ac-
cOrding to The Bulletin, greatly in
crease the will power of statesmen
when it came to refusing alluring Of
