Going Far Back

In the study of cosmography-in
observing the nebulae of extra galactic
space-we are witnessing scenes and
events which occurred in past ages.
When we look out into the depths of
space we are gazing back into his
tory. The nearest star we see today as
it was four and half years ago; the
nearest nebulae. the irregular Magel-
lanic clouds, as they were 1O0.000
years ago; the frontiers of the known
universe. as they were 200 million
years ago back in the carboniferous
age of the geologists.-Edwin Hubble.

World series personalities!
That's the stuff! Let's have
some world series personalities!
O. K! Here goes.
Guy Bush, leading National
League pitcher, with 10 vic
tories and 7 defeats. is
Southerner, yes. sub, and is
said to be the best-dressed ball
player extant. If October is
a warm day he will probably
get the pitching assignment
from Joe Mccarthy. Should the
day be like yesterday was, Pat
Malone, cold weather hurler,
is more likely to open for the
Cubs.
Bush wears his jet-black hair
combed sleek back on his head,
lets small suggestions of side
burns sdorn his face and is
altogether the kind of a sheik
the girls would take liking to.
His home town is Shannon,
Miss. Back in 1928 Cub
scout saw him pitching ball
and Immediately bought him a
ticket for Chicago.
Bush arrived in Chicago very
much bewildered at the tall
buildings, the fast-moving taxi
cabs and general hustle and
hustle of the Windy City. He
heckoned taxicab and instruct
ed the chauffeur to drive him
along Main Street" and then
to the ball park.
Now, it so happened that back
in Shannon. the bus that met
the trains would take a. fellow
anywhere in town for half a
dollar. Guys taxi bill when he
arrived at the Cubs park was
1856 and that experience made
him big Lacquer Immediately.
He hasn't been a sap since. He
is ~ years, old and in the off
season works in Cook county
bank.
The Washington times., 1929-10-02

is two years older than Guy
Bush. Lefty" is the leading
southpaw pitcher of the Ameri-
can League, as you know with
out reading it here. He is
native of Homecoming, which is
in Western Maryland.
Like Bucky Harris. Grove
worked in the coal mines as
youngster, and learned the game
on coal covered sandlots between
working shifts. Grove is 3
inches over 6 feet tall, weighs
175 pounds and throws the fast
est ball of any twirler in the
league.
Connie Mack bought Lefty
Grove from the Baltimore Orioles
in 1925 for a sum reputed to
be S105, 900. But, as the Vir-
gipia farmer said when he told
a tourist some people called it
1O2 miles to Colonial Beach,
but he didn't think it was any
more than 100, some folks be-
lieve all Mack paid for Grove
was 100000 - and there you
are.
His first year in the majors,
Grove established himself as a
strikeout specialist, turning back
III batters by that method.
During his entire major-league
career, Lefty has famed S2S
batters, and has a lifetime
record of $500 strikeouts.
Since starting in professional
baseball. with Martinsburg IN
1920, Grove has never failed to
win two-thirds of his games. In
1923 Lefty won "a and lost 8
games. In 1925 he had his best
year striking out batters, 1874
having failed to get away from
the plate before his delivery.
Grove is married, and in the
winter conducts q bowling alley
at Homecoming.
