JOE BUSH SPRINTS
FOR HOME TO WED
AS TRAIN STOPS
Athletics Pitcher, Late at
Station, Doesn't Stop for
Breath Till He Reaches
the Altar.

Although the Athletics lost the worlds s
championship, Pitcher Joe Bush won his
bride, despite the fact that he arrived
here on late train.
Eush was married at Ills o'clock this
morning, but had to rush on the home
stretch. In fact, the little pitcher didn't
breathe a sigh of relief until he and Miss
Sylvia Mcmahon, OF 2337 Lehigh avenue
were at the altar.
AS soon as the Athletics train touched
North Philadelphia, Bush darted out as
II he was bound for the home plate, and
took taxi to the home Of his bride.
He had less than an hour to get into
his wedding togs, but Miss Mcmahon be-
lteyes in teamwork, so she went with
him on quick shopping tour, and with
her aid and approval the happy pitcher
selected his wedding outfit with taste
and speed.
Then there was a quick ride back to
the house and very soon all was ready.
Fortunately for Bush, his bride lived
right across the street from ST. Colomba's
Church, the scene Of the wedding. In a
few moments the wedding party was en-
route and without a stop Il proceeded up
the main aisle Of the church to the air
Of the music which will live forever.
James Walsh, of the Mack team, was
best man and Miss Ethel Leary, OF Phil
mont, Pa, was bridesmaid.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev, Michael Crane. The bride wore a
blue tallor-made gown and a black hat.
The church was crowded, but the only
members Of the Athletic team present
were Home Run Frank Baker and Harry
Davis.
An the members OF the team would
have been present had II not been for a
Some who arrived
after the ceremony was over were greatly
When Mr. and Mrs. Bush were leaving
the church they we're greeted with a
shower OF rice, and Bush was glad there
were no baseballs among IT.
Following the ceremony there was a
reception at the brides home. Tomorrow
Mr.. and Mrs Bush will leave for the
home at Brainerd. Minn-
