BUSH SHOCKER
REACTION Of
INTEREST
Both Will Try Hard to Beat
Teams Which Let Them
Out

The pitching of Joe Bush and
Urban Shocker should provide one
of the most Interesting sidelights on
the American League race this sea-
son. Bullet Joe, like all other
Yankee cast-offs, will do his
durndest to beat his former mates
at every opportunity, while Shocker
will be working just as hard to
prove that the Yanks got the best
Of the trade.
Although Bush looked like a
world beater at times last season,
his work was not up to perfor-
mances of other years. He was
not on the best of terms with
Manager Miller Higgins, for one
thing. When yanked from the box
in a tight situation, Joseph was
wont to toss his glove high in the
air, scowl in the general direction
of the New York dugout or give
vent to other signs of peevishness.
In the same way Shocker was pot
at his best for st. Louis. The
change to the big town probably
will give him a new lease on life,
as has generally been the case
with stars traded to hot favorites
in the pennant race.
It may be that Bush will pitch
the Browns to a championship this
year. He and Sisler will be the
big guns of the outfit. II the lat
ter has recovered his, batting eye,
as has been reported, the fight may
be as close as the pennant race of
1891, when the Yanks beat the St.
Louis team by only half a game.
And if you are within seventy
five miles of the ball park when
Bush and Shocker meet in their
first pitchers battle this season,
grab taxi to the game-it will be
worth the expense

teresting sidelight on the real char
acter Of Ruether, who has been ac-
cused. often unjustly, of all man
ner of minor offenses against base
bail discipline.
For example, critics accounted for
Ruether's failure to pitch up to
form with the Dodgers last year by
declaring that Ruether didn't take
care OF himself. Nothing could be
win because he injured his pitching
arm. And therein lies our tale.
It starts with the receipt by
Ruether Of a Washington con-
tract, calling for considerably less
money than RueI1ter received in
1924. He felt he had a just1fi-
able squawh, but only under. Ger.
tain conditions.
He mentioned them in his return
letter to Griffith. In II he told the
Washington owner that he planned
to go to Hot Springs at his own
expense weeks before the other
pitchers. He would take the baths,
he said, in an effort to cure the
ailing arm, and would then try it
If it proved to be all right he felt
he was entitled to more money.
If it didn't, he wasn't worth any
thing TO the Washington club. He
concluded the letter by saying that,
in such an event, he woul1 retire
from baseball altogether and advised
Griffith that he would then be en-
titled to the return of the purchase

lease.
Eventually the arm rounded into
shane, and Ruether got the con.

CAMPUS SKYSCRAPER IS
 NEW PROPOSAL AT YALE
Dean Jones Wants 2O-story Plant In Old Quadrangle for ClassroomS
 And DormitorieS.

New Haven. Sept. 26-Dean Fred erick S. Jones of Yale college be- iieves that 20-story skyscraper, with fast elevators, classrooms, liv- ing quarters, swimming pools, li- braries and dining rooms in the cen- ter of the old campus is way of solving the problems created by Yale university's expansion.
 T suggested this skyscraper solu- lion as q bare possibility Is years ago." Dean Jones said. Tt could be built in the middle of the old col lege quadrangle and the traditional buildings and the fence and flowers could be left untouched around 1t. This would relieve the congestion which forces us to house a large rart of the class in separate houses for lack of dormitories, and would lead to even more convenience than we now have here."
 It was pointed out that the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh Is building a skysclaper to house the complete university, and that in adopting , Dean Jones's suggestion the cost to { Yale would not be excessive, con- sidcring the huge sum 1t has spent on recent buildings.
