He managed Indianapolis in 1924, ’25, ’26, finishing second each season, and in 1924 was i'i the pennant fight until the next to the last series of the campaign, losing out to St. Paul by three games. Minneapolis will be fifth club piloted by Bush. He directed Washington in 1923, resigned, and joined the Hoosiers. He left the Indians to take over the Pittsburgh Pirates and remained in the Smoky city until late in 1929, when he resigned and caught on with the Chicago White Sox. After two years with the Sox, Ownie tossed up the sponge

Ownie was king of A. A. shortstops in 1908 when he covered that position for the Indianapolis pennant winners of that year, graduating to Detroit, where he assumed the role of a star for a long stretch of seasons, eventually going to Washington as utility infielder one season and manager the next. His Washington club finished fourth, landing in the first division for the first time in many years. Bush’s Pittsburgh Pirates won the National League pennant in 1927 and lost to the New York Yankees in the world series. American Association club owners met in Chicago today to adopt the 1932 schedule, and it was announced that Minneapolis will open at Indianapolis, Tuesday, April 12. This arrangement will place Bush against his home-town team in the lid-lifter at new Perry stadium. The 1932 schedule calls for 168 games.

Middlesworth Boosted for Butler Grid Coaching Job

BY DICK MILLER More than a dozen applications have been received by Butler officials for the apparently vacant football coaching berth. Although Butler officials have refused to admit that the leave of absence granted Harry M. Bell, athletic director and grid coach, means his passing from the Bulldog athletic picture, there are few who doubt it. Paul D.

Bell’s leave of absence was granted to allow him to continue graduate work at the University of Southern California. It is understood the appointment of a football coach, whether part time or full time, will rest with Dr. Walter Scott Atheam, Butler president, who has indicated it might be a part-time position, with anew man assisting Hinkle.
