Injuries Handicap

Detroit, in the meantime, had made
a deal for Bush, but he was not to
be delivered until the close of the
season. At the time it didn't seem as
if the Tigers would need him.
Coming down the hcme stretch.
Detroit suffered terrific jolt in the
injury to Shortstop Charley OLeary
and the illness of Third Baseman Bill
Coughlin.
1t looked as if Detroit would lose
the pennant because of lack of ca
rable infield substitutes. The Tiger
management made every effort to
have Indianapolis turn over Bush for
immediate delivery.
1t was IN vain. Indianapolis need
ed Bush to win the pennant in the
American association an6 didn't care

THE STORY OF
PEARLS

DEARLS have been found in the
L burial places Of ancient man.
They have assumed a progress
sively greater importance as civ

scarcely a people. which did or
does not count them their most
valued possessions.
Some Of the ancient tales date
back for more than 5000 years in
Chinese history. One Of their
legends tells of certain pearl so

readily be shown by cutting sec

them under the microscope. All

lions from mollusks. The pre-
cious ones come chiefly from the
pearl oyster, the fresh water
clans, the abalone, and in a
lesser degree from all the other
