ROOKIE TAUGHT VETERAN BUSH
 HOW TO PITCH
Cub Ace Gives Credit to Henshaw for Showing
 Him How to Hold Ball
By FRED BAILEY United Press Stan Correspondent

Chicago (UP)-Guy Bush, the Mississippi Mudcat," veteran oi many seasons with the Chicago Cubs, is a recent convert to the old adage you're never too old to learn"
 When he isn't playing baseball Bush trains bird dogs on his Mis- sissippi farm. One of the things he thought he learned at that was that you can't teach an old dog new tricks"
 Then a green rookie taught Bush how to pitch. Bush believes that at least five or six of the 20 games he won last season should be cred ited to Roy Henshaw, rookie Cub southpaw.
 It was the first time the screw During previous seasons Bush closed two fingers on the seams at their narrowest point, each finger lying along the stitched surface.
 Trouble
 After five or six innings his mid dle finger began to bleed about the nail. Pitching became an agony and he frequently lost his effec- tiveness in the late innings. He had to have week between start. ing assignments.
 Then one lazy afternoon on Cat alina Island last spring, Bush was idly watching Henshaw pitch. You'll never get any stuff on the ball that way" he told the kid. Here is the way old Grover Al exander taught me to pitch a screw ball."
 Henshaw was a willing pupil. The next day he approached Bush. Say, Guy, l can't pitch that way. It makes my finger bleed around the nail. Teddy Lyons taught me to hold the ball my way"
 Live and Learn
 "Listen, son." Bush said. If Teddy Lyons told you to hold it your way, you do it. Forget what said. He's pitcher. And, by the way, show me how you do it."
 Under coaching by Henshaw, Bush changed his grip on the ball. He allowed the ball to slip through his fingers until the seams came to rest at their widest point across his middle fingers.
 The old break was there, but pitching became a pleasure instead of pain. Bush became the pitch ing ace of the Cubs and Henshaw gained a staunch friend.
 "Imagine-after I'm pitching in the majors 10 years, rookie really showed me how to pitch. It just shows you're never too old to learn"

 - The New York customers, 1t
 seems, will pack Madison Square
 Garden for anything, just so 1t isn't
 boxing. They sell standing room
 for dog shows, electrical exposi- tions, bicycle races, and hockey games. So it isn't unusual that on Saturday night the arena that Tex Rickard threw up as a shrine Tor La Boxe, will be damned to the rafters by a mob of track fans. Hoping to see mile race that will be a throwback to the days when Joie Ray and Paavo Nurmi were battling for supremacy, some 16,5OO addicts have already signi- fled their intention of attending the annual New York Athletic club games by snatching up all the available pasteboards.
 The general admission section- usually not offered for sale until the day of the meet - was put on the market Tuesday and today tickets are as scarce as house flies In Little Amerlca.
 Three of the greatest milers this country has ever seen at one time Glenn Cunningham of Kansas U., Gene Venzke of Penn and Bill Bonthron of Princeton = are req son why track meets will be added to the other sports that have other sports that have smashed attendance marks in the place that Irnn tho fiRhf- less-fight-club.
 The race is a natural, and would jam an arena twice, yes. three times the size of the Garden. Venzke holds the indoor record of 4:1O set exactly two years ago in these same games. Cunningham came out of the west last year and ran Gene ragged in most of their races. Bonthron is the lad who paced Jack Lovelock at Princeton | in the latter's 4:07.6 mile outdoors, and who, incidentally. ran the sec ond fastest mile in history as he trailed the New Zealander Tn 4:08.7. i As the experts who know about such things figure it, Saturdays race will develop into a two-man duel between Cunningham and Bonthron, neither of whom have faced each other indoors. Venzke, trimmed by almost 20 years by Cunningham two weeks ago in the MiIlrose games. is rated to act as nothing more than another entry;
 @ pacesetter.
 Between Cunningham and Bon thron there is little to choose. The Kansan has run under AHA con
 sistently, witout much competition. Bonthron has the ability to do bet ter outdoors. Indoors, at the mile, he has yet to show his stuff. With such a pair matching
 strides. predictions are being made freely that venzke's record will be shattered. Lawson Robertsan, the Pennsylvanian's coach, ha sother
 ideas.
 "Cunningham and Bonthron ex. pect Venzke to set the early pace, he says, but Gene isn't going to run that kind of a race. Conse- | quently, they'll be running against each other. not against time" Maybe so. Anyway. it's race worth seeing and this dyed-in-the- wool volley ball proponent will de- sert his backyard court long enough Saturday night to perch near the ceiling with the track bugs and watch the silk-painted runners battle 1t out.

The presidents letter:
Il have been advised Of what has
transpired at the conferences be-
tween the conference committee of
managers, representing the rail-
roads and the railway labor eXecu-
tives association, representing the
employees, which have been held in
response to my communication of
February IA, 1884. In that COM
munication I expressed the hope
that the railroads and their en-
ployes may be able to agree upon
an extension Of the present agree
ment for at least six months ex-'
pressing also my conviction that
such an extension would be of
advantage to those directly con-
cerned, and also the country
at is a profound disappointment
to learn that no progress toward
an agreement has been made at the
conference. 1 fear that sight is be-
ing lost of the most important fac
tor of all, the good of the country.
If no agreement is reached, and
in default of arbitration, it may be
necessary for me, with due regard
to the protection of the general
public interest, to appoint a COM
mission to examine thoroughly into
the labor controversy, covering all
classes of railroad employment, in
order that the country may be adj
vised of the merits. For the reas-
Ons stated in my communication of
Feb. IA, I believe that conditions
are not yet ripe for wise settle
ment of these issues, and that the
active prosecution of the contro-
versy at the present time would
have most disturbing and unfor-
tunate influence. Nor would a post.
ponement be in general unfair to
the employees.
"Since I addressed my previous
communication to you, however, the
fact has been developed that some
Of the railroad employees are now
receiving compensation for their
work at rates which are below min
imums which have been established

below a subsistence basis. This does
not apply to any very large fraction
of the employees, but nevertheless
such a situation does exist. To the
extent that it exists, it should be
corrected. and in this expression of
opinion I feel confident that the
railroads and the holders of their
securities will concur. am in
formed that the federal coordinator
of transportation now has in his
possession the detailed facts in re-
gard to this matter. It should BIO
adjusted in connection with any
postponement of the major wage
issue.
IT shall be glad to extend to you
the services Of the federal coordin-
ator of transportation to help in
composing your present difference,
If that be desired. For the good Of
the country I strongly urge that
further efforts be made to reach an
agreement"
