BY EDDIE ASH.

ON account Of the low finances
~ Of the Cincy Reds, resulting
from poor business the past season,
the Ohio team will go along with
out an official coach next year, it
was announced today by Owner
Sidney We'll and Ownie Bush, new
Redleg pilot. One of the older
players on the team will be used in
this capacity. Bush will be on the
coaching lines himself and one of
the veterans will work opposite him.
Mickey Doolan, 1882 Cincy coach,
has been released. When, and if,
the depression lifts, regular coach
will be employed again.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer gave
Il Bush a fine send-off in its
columns today following official an
nouncement late Thursday to the
effect Bush had accepted one-year
contract to pilot the Reds. The En-
quirer said. in part:
Bush is a leader OF the forcefuI and
aggressive type. He was a fighting ball
player. and he always has been a fighting
manager. Not too severe with young play
ers. be insists on discipline and is never
afraid to enforce the rules Of the club on
any offender. no matter how popular he
may be. He Is active on the coaching
lines. and the fans are sure to like his
winning style. He will insist on his own
ideas being carried out to the limit and
will brook no interference from executives
or fans. He has the nerve to stand on his
own feet and take the consequences"
THE veteran Muddy Ruel, who
l. has seen service with six big
league clubs, was made free agent
by Detroit today. He was at his best
when he was first string catcher
with Washington several years ago
Ruel served more than ten years
in the majors and is now privileged
to negotiate for his own job. All
major teams passed up waivers on
him. Ruel was great receiver
and smart baseball man in his day,
although rated just fair as hitter
1t may be possible that he will try
to land with the Boston Red Sox
as manager if the Beantown club
decides to make a change and the
widely discussed Babe Ruth propo-
sition falls through.
ha me n
to think Ruth eventually will take over
the Red Sox as manager and part owner,
but at this time there is nothing definite
along that line. 1t Is presumed the Babe
will remain with the Yankees for one
more year and continue to make busi-
ness good at the gate for Colonel Jake
Rupert. The BambinO's legs are aiIing,
but he Is good for lot of action vet
and there is nothing wrong with the old
batting eye. The American League is up
against losing problem at Boston and
the magnates hope Ruth will 20 there
some day and revive the game In the
Hub. The National League club in Bos-
ton has hOgged all of the business.

TINE Brown Iron Men pulled an
l. old trick on Holy Cross last
Saturday and got away with it and
won the important tussle. With
Holy Cross leading, 7 to 8, Brown
launched a drive and was pound
ing at the Crusaders goal line. Sud-
denly an argument f1ared up in the
Brown back field. Holy Cross line
men noticed the disturbance" and
relaxed to listen. It was then that
Brown shot quick play and Gam
mino tore through the line for a
touchdown that brought victory.
The Minneapolis managerial job is now
open. The berth was held for Ownie
Bush, President Mike Kelley hoping until
Thursday that the little Hoosier would
pass up the Cincinnati offer. It's all over
now and 1t is said Ownies mother made
the decision for him and Ordered" him to
get back into the ma ors. According to
one story, Mrs. Bush accompanied her
famous son to the front door when he
was leaving for his last conference with
Owner Sidney We'll of the Reds and she
said:
"Ownie, you sign. You're no busher
and l don't want you to be filling any
busher jobs
Well then assured Bush the several stars
