Nobody here had heard much about this Joe Bush previous to
to-day. Even the experts, who see all things that are and a lot
that aren't, didn't have the dope on him. They had heard of
Donie Bush and Anheuser Busch and Bush leaguers, but Joseph was
a new one. For the information and guidance of those who may be
interested, we furnish the data that he came From the Missoula
Club of the Union--or is it Onion--Association last fall, and is
a right hander.

Bush has the reputation of being almost as speedy as Walter
Johnson on his good days and this was one of them. In the early
stages of the game he depended almost entirely on his fast ball
but later began to unbelt a few curves which had the right sort
of a fold to them. Although in a hole with many batters, he
passed only four and hit one. Great fielding helped him at
times, the Macks pulling off a double play in each of three
innings in which New York appeared to have something started.

Any child wonder who can come all the way from Missoula to
Broadway in one year and win a world's series game is of course
entitled to much credit, but this boy certainly fell into a
particularly soft spot. With the Macks' billion dollar infield
killing base hits for him and the attack getting him eight runs,
he would have had a hard time slipping the game to McGraw if he
had sold out before hostilities started. Bush permitted the
Giants, who were commonly reported to be moaning for the gore of
Mack's youngsters, just five hits. Two of these were bunched in
one inning and resulted in one of the runs. The others straggled
through.[5]
