said as much when he told a friend
he guessed he would have to look
for new manager next season.
1t will be Bushs fourth time as a ma ior
chieftain. He piloted Washington in 1929.
Pittsburgh in 1927 and '2S, and the Chi
cage White SOx in 1929 and 80. After
leaving Washington and before he was
promoted to Pittsburgh, Ownie bossed the
indians for three years and finished second
each season. His success at MINNEAPOLIS
is told in the league standing-his club is
seven games out in front with less than a.
month to play.
It was only by tough break that Bush
missed appointment as pilot of the richest
Yankees. He received the YANKEE MGW 9 9f%eT
a lew hours after he had given his word
10 take over the foundering White Sox
snot although it was a mighty difficult
spot 70 be IN, Bush rejected the wealthy
New York berth to prove to baseball that
MS promises are as good as his name on
contract. Should Ownie go to Detroit, he
VIII be manager on the scene of his long
fielding shortstops of the game.

THAT little park at Minneapolis
l. is home sweet home to Joe
HauSer, Miller first sacker. He lifted
three over the fence Sunday in the
first half of the twin bill with Lou
iSville and boosted his seasons total
to forty-Seven. The A. A. record is
f1fty-four, set by Nick Cullop in 1890,
when he was with the MillerS. It
looks like a cinch for Hauser to
surpass Cullop's mark.

The strange thing about SIugger Hauser
is the fact he is not batting better than
800. Big parks on the road cut him down.
His three homers Sunday equaIIed the
league record for one game. Babe Camel
of the Bushmen also hit three Sunday, two
in the first tilt and one in the second, and
Ruble of the Millers, and Nachand of
Louisville each hit one in the first.
Funk and Adair cleared the fence for the
Colonies in the nightcap, a five-inning af-
fair Archie McKain held Minneapolis to
three hits.
Jess Petty mastered the Colonies in the
Sabbath opener and tackled up his thir-
landed in the right spot when he Joined
Minneapolis. He was a free agent last
winter, having been released outright in
the Paclhc Coast League. The comeback
under Manager Bush recalls the season of
1924, when Bush piloted Indianapolis and
sold Petty to Brooklyn. Jess won twenty
nine games for the Hoosiers that season.

II ANSAS CITY upset the Toledo
IN Hens twice Sunday and crept
within two games of the third
place Indians. The KawS gave two
rookie hurlers a chance and they
produced, Blackwell, a kid south
paw from Pierce City, Mo, and
Gabler, highlander who started
with the Blues in the spring and
was knocked out by injuries. A line
drive hit by Tom Angley of Indian
apolis struck Gabler on the head
and nearly ended the youngsters
craeer. His comeback is a tribute
to MS staying qualities.
Otto Bluege. shortstop. has been re-
called from Columbus by the Cincinnati
Reds. He is a brother of Oscar Bluege
Washington infielder. Young BIuege batfed
.296 for the A. A. Red Birds and was a
star in the field Illness put him on the
out at third base. Pitcher Joe Dawson and
outfielder James MoSolf have been re.
leased outright to Kansas City by the Pitts
burgh Pirates. They have been with the
Blues on option. They are not a part oil
the recent Hal Smith transaction.
