JOE BUSH TO PITCH
IN ST. LOUIS BATTLE
Athletics Playing Better Ball in
West, But Are F a CT ng
Stronger Hurting.

ST LOUIS, May 13.-Joe Bush. one OF
the heroes OF the 1913 worlds series, Is
slated to make his first appearance Of the
season In st. Louis this afternoon. and as
Joe has been rapidly getting back into
shape the Browns are likely to have their
hands full.
Manager Hickey intends to send Grover
Loudermilk in to oppose Bullet Joe"
provided the big Southerner's hand Is in
good shape. Grover was slated to start
the series against the champions, but
had his hand hurt by a line drive in
practice and 1t put him out of commits
sion temporarily.
Loudermllk Is generally wild, and the
injury to his hand is not likely to help
his control any. SO the Athletics are con-
fident that they will take todays game
In the two games played to date the
Athletics have looked good. though they
are not hitting as they should The field
ing yesterday was high class. despite four
errors, two of which were excusable.
With the pitchers showing more con-
sistency Manager Mack expects the team
to start climbing before 1t returns home.
On the present trip the Athletics have
faced better pitching than they saw in
the East. Morton, Hoch and Weilman
are all going in mid-season form now.
which is more than the Mackmen say for
the Eastern pitching.
