BUSH RESIGNS AS MANAGER Chicago, Oct. 10.—(U.R)— Officials of the Chicago White Sox American league baseball team sought a manager today to replace Donie Bush who resigned after piloting the Sox for two years. Bush’s statement that "I don't fit into the organization" was the only comment made regarding the action. Club executives declined to say who was being considered as new manager and Bush said his plans for the future were indefinite. Bush succeeded Lena Blackburne as Sox manager two years ago. A native of Indianapolis, he began his baseball career with an independent team at Sauli Ste. Marie in 1905. He has played with clubs at Saginaw, Mich.; South Bend, Ind., and Indianapolis. He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 1909 and played with that club until 1921. He went to the Washington Senators in 1922 and managed the club in 1923. He managed the Pittsburgh Pirates two years and led that club to the National league championship in 1927. The Sox this year finished in last place in the American league race and then won the city series from the Chicago Cubs. Bush plans to spend the winter in Indianapolis with his mother.
