BY BILLY EVANS

"Donie" Bush, new manager o.
the Washington team Of the Amerl
can League, Is a fighter.
Bush is the direct opposite Of
Clyde Milan, who handled the clut
last year.
Milan Is the quiet. methodical
chap who weighs matters carefully
Bush is the aggressive. impulsivs
type, who jumps at conclusions and
then fights for them.
While Bush has been chased from
many a ball game by American
League umpires, they like him.
DOME and I have often disagreed
on decisions, but his slate Is clean
with me. 1 have never put him out
of a ball game. However, he has
been on the ragged edge several
times.
Umpires like Bush because he
starts every ball game anew. He
never carries over a grievance.
II an umpire chases DOME for
kicking too strenuously, II never
stirs up any hatred in his system
for the arbitrator. The next day
he is the first to greet the umpire
in a friendly manner.
Every game ie a new one with
Bush.
1 doubt II any player ever made
more sensational major league
debut than Bush.
Il was back in 1908. The Detroit
club was waging a bitter fight for
the American League pennaDt.
Charley O'Leary, the veteran short
stop, was aillng. The late Herman
schaefer, then playing second for
Detroit. was beginning to slow up
The Tigers needed a shortstop who
could step right in and deliver the
goods. Bush was playing a brilliant
game at that position for the lndi-
annapolis club OF the American AS
sociation. A deal was made that
secured his immediate services for
the fag end of the season. Bush's
work at short made possible the win
ming of the pennant by Detroit that
year.
Bush at that time was probably
25 pounds lighter than he Is to-
day and lightning fast. His debut
was made to order. He pulled at
least a half dozen sensational plays
Three OF his stops he made on the
second base side Of the diamond.
1 will never forget how Schaefer'
standing Aatfooted looked on in ad-
shaking his head as much
as IL to say:
THAT bird isn't human"
While Bush is a fighter, he can
see the humor in most any STU
alton. And Bush by the way, next
to baseball. likes lighting better
than any other sport. He will talk

body will listen.
don't believe I will ever forget
a little argument we had at the
plate when he was with the De-
troit club.

and Detroit trailing by single
tally. Bush at that time was
mighty fast.
The batsman hit a fly ball TO rath-
er deep center field. Speaker made
a beautiful catch and followed II
up with an even more remarkable
throw. I called Bush out. Il was
a hair-line decision.
The play was so close It merited
a kick. Bush began TO question my
eyesight. Told me I would have
never made such a decision three
or four years back. Advised that
better consult a specialist.
Realizing DOME was peeved az
being called out. took the verbal
barrage with a smile and when he
ndu llulrntu remarked.
Three or four years ago II
wouldn't have had to make a deci-
sion on such a a play, you would
have beaten the throw a couple OF
steps It's a crime the way you are
slowing up. DOME"
That remark settled It.
Guess you're right" he said as
bo hruobad +ba duet fro,, ~. ,,.s
form.
We'll. I suppose I ought to be
glad that guy out there in center
field isn't a pitcher" he remarked,
shifting the conversation.
why so?" 1 asked.
"why that stinf Speaker can throw
strikes from the outfield."
Bush coined an expression that is
still a byword with the ball play
ers.
It is customary for all major
league clubs to hold meeting prior
to starting each ball game. The idea
OF the meeting is to discuss the
weakness and the strength OF the
opposition.
One afternoon as the Detroit
team was filing into the clubhouse,
some one asked Bush where he was
going.
skull practice" answered Bush.
What do you do in there?"
Teacher tells us how to score
runs without making base hits"
replied Bush. He referred 70
Hughey Jennings when speaking Of
teacher.
The skull practice sessions to all
ball players are known as meetings
where you learn to score runs with
out making base hits.

has the fighting spirit. Under him

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-cUnited
Press)-While the closing year OF
1922 will be remembered long as a
year OF upsets and go backs. u was
also a year OF some comebacks.
Many kings OF sport became ex-
kings and quite a few former lead
ers in their line came back 20 the
top.
Comehacks are always more inter
esting because they are % few. It's
easy 20 drop out OF the race but it's
hard to get back IN.
Willie Hoppe. who had relgnea
from the time he could reach the
table until late in 1921 as the king
OF Billiards. came back and his re-
turn TO the throne was the most
popular accession OF the year.
Hoppe was defeated last year by
Jake Schaeffer and n coming back
as the champion this year. he re-
moved all doubts as 20 his ability by
finishing first In a field OF six OF the
worlds best players.
Perhaps he isn't as great as he
once was. Certainly he Is not the
sure, confident artist OF years ago,
but still he Is the greatest player Of
them all.
Jack Scott. the big North Carolina
fai mer. was the most remarkable
comeback OF the baseball year. Scott
was shd out OF the National League
and headed FOR the scrap heap on
the assumption that he had a bad
arm.
He worked the arm back IN condl-
tion. got a berth with the New York
Giants, won eight games for them
and was one OF the stars OF the
worlds series.

SpitbaH May
Get NelU Life

The lively ball has made d
impossibls for the pitchers to
keep the batsmen in check. The
lively ball has caused the bats
man to dominate the pitcher.
No pitchers IN the American
League were much more sue
cessful last year than Red Fa-
Der and Urban Shocker. These
two veterans still include the
spitball in their repertoire.
1t is a noticeable fact that in
the two major leagues, pitch
ers still permitted TO use the
spitball were uniformly sue
cessful.
All OF which gives rise TO the
rumor that the spitball may be
declared legal. despite the dras-
tic action taken by the rule
makers a few years ego in elm
mating IL entirely from the

Nothing Is more irksome TO the

Bush was trying to dodge the issue.
Bush was suspended without pay
