Athletics much trouble.
 Bush also posses buIlet-like speed. He is 8 steady performer and cool u1l- der fire, as he demonstrated against the Giants last fall. He started this season somewhat off form, .7but later got going and had an easy time to- ward the end.
 Bostou,s Pitching Staff
 In Tyler, James and Rudolph. Bos- ton has the greatest collection of pitch ing iron mem ever grouped on one team. Strange to relate all Jumped in to fame at once. They were on the team last year. but while their work was good it was really not until this season that they began to attract no tice- e
 While the Braves were in last place in July, Manager Stanings suddenly discovered that this trio could work every third day for an intermtnable period and retain their strength He put them to the test, and their will ingness and gameness in responding soon put the team back in the race. In less than almonth they were cha1- lenging the Giants for first place. Even then they did not stop, working shafd day after day with the pennant as their goal of ambition.
 Along about this time the skeptics began to get in their deadly work. They made all sorts of predictionsNas to what would be the result of what they termed. Stalltngs' follys' in work ing his pitchers to death. 'E Y Thew de clared the three men were defyfng all ethics of the game as 1t is played today and they would pay dearly for overtaxing their arms.
 But the pitchers continued to pitch despite these warnings and continued to-. win. They failed to crack; in fact. they refused to crack. They rushed right through and won the National. League pennant. To date they have failed to show any i'll effects of their strenuous work.
 On behalf of the second string pitch CTS of the team, be it said that they rank with the reserve twtrIfng staff on any twirling staff in the league. All have shown well in the conparatiye ely few opportunities they have had to perform On the whole, the hurling corps of the Braves is an imposing one and one that justifies the confidence of its admirers
