pep" KEEPS MANY MEN
IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES
Bush, Mcbride and Fletcher Display
the Ginger, Making Them Win
ming Ball Players.

Fighting spirit means a whole lot &c
the average ball player.
The player who has natural ability
both as a hitter and a fielder, does moi
need SO much Of 1t. but to the one who
lacks top notch class in either hitting OF
fielding the old scrappin spirit means
everything.
Take a slant at Ownie Bush. veteran
shortstop Of the Tigers. as an example
Of the brand Of player in question. AL
ways wonderful fielder. Bush has been
holding his own with the boys who SCOOP
'em up in the short field for, 10 these many
years. But Ownie has never been a won
derful hitter. for. in his eight full years
with the Detroit club he has averaged
about .240 at bat, which isn't heavy hit
ting by any means.
Yet Bush hangs on. He is playing great
ball for Hugh Jennings this year, and he
looks good for several more seasons In
the major leagues. because he 10 one OF
the boys who holds on with a bulldog
grip and keeps fghtin' 'em.
This Is Bush's ninth full season with
the Tigers. He went up from Indianapolis
in the fall Of 1908. but played only twenty
games. George Mcbride Of the WASH
ington team was up for a full year in 1905
and in 1906 played part Of the season with
St Louis. being released to Kansas City
in the late summer. But after coming ur
the second time to Washington. in 1908
he made good of the reel and is still
wearing a Washington uniform.
Artie Fletcher has been with the Giants
since 1909, and with Bush and Mcbride
will soon pass the ten-year mark as q ma
tor Lacquer.
Fight All the Way.
All three of these players are fight
in guys" Fletcher. unlike Bush and
Mcbride. is rated as a pretty fair club.
Der. for he has a habit of hitting around
.285. But he isn't the fielder that Bush
is. and he doesn't compare with Mcbride
when George was at his best
McBride's great asset has always beer
his fielding and his quick brain out there
on the field Of play. His best year at the
bat Melted him an average Of only .235
and that was 1911.
Bush hit .294 in twenty games in 1908
but since that time .273 has been his best
EFFORT, and that was away back in 1909
Fletcher passed the 300 mark in 1911
with a swatting average Of .319, in his
only trip across the charmed 800 mark
Remembering all the while that these
three players have been in the major
leagues longer by several seasons thar
the average ball player manages to stick
and that all three are "fghtin' ball play
the player IL brought homo with a thud.
Bush deserves more credit for making
his way in the majors than either Nc.
Bride or Fletcher. for the little Detroi,
pepper box had a hard row to hoe when
he first came up. Dissension on the De-
Bush. and several of them tried to run
him of tho team. But Ownie buckled
down and fought for his cakes, and he's
still there.
