BUSH OF TIGERS VISITS FATHER DUFFY AND FANS

Fastest Shortstop in American League Attends K. of C. Dance Here Clarence Jessup Discovers Player and Pushes Youngster to Front

Ownie Bush, of Indianapolis, who plays shortstop for the Detroit American league team, and is recognized as one of the greatest players in that position in the history of the game, was in the city today, the guest of the Rev. Father Duffy, of St. Mary's church, a former schoolmate, and while "here had a fanning bee with Clarence Jessup, former league player, and the man who "discovered"' the diminutive Detroit star. They laughingly told how Bush, when he first broke into professional ranks, was secured from the Dayton Central league club for the Marion (Ind.) team by Jessup, who at that time was manager of the Marion State league outfit. Jesaup Gets Bush. "TClmer Redelle president of the Dayion team, had five or six. men he wanted to dispose of," Jessup exclaimed, "and I went to look the bunch over. I decided I would take Bush, but Uedelle told me he was a runt and wouldn't make good. He urged me to take another man, a big, rangy fellow, but I couldn't see him, and I stuck to my decision to take Busb. Redelle thought I was a boob, and fold Bush to me for his actual expenses in boarding him while he was training for the Dayton club. Bush made good with Marion right away, but the Marion club went up the flue, and I took over the management of the Saginaw club in the Michigan league and Bush went along with me. By this time Bush looked awfullv good to -Redelle, and he put in a claim to the National eommis- j sion ior mm, asserting uiai uc unu not sold Bush, but had only loaned him. The commission turned Bush over to Dayton, but Bush didn't want to leave me, and I almost had to run him out of Saginaw. If I hadn't I would have been blacklisted. After Uedelle got him he practically gave him away to South Bend, and from that time on Ownie went right up, and today he is regarded as one of the best shortstops in the game." Signs With Detroit. Bush said today that he had signed with Detroit for next year, and he thinks if one or two men are developed to fill weak places on the club it will be right in the running for the pennant. "I can't quite see the Federal league," Hush said. "They may win out in their fight, but I think they fell down by not landing the best players last year. I know that last season they could have gotten some of the greatest stars of the game, but they failed to do so, and I think they will tinil it ronsrher coinir this coming sea

During the season of 1914 Bush covered just enough ground to enable him to average one-half a chance more per game than his nearest rival, Buck Weaver; one chance more per game than the spectacular and highlytouted Everett Scott of the White Sox, and even a greater margin over Jack Barry, Connie Mack's renowned Bhortfielder. Now, basing a statement on the figures, Bush would accept 154 more assists or 154 more put-outs, or 77 assists and 77 put-outs more per season of 154 games than such men as Scott, Chapman, Lavan, Barry and the Naps' youngest shortstop, Adolph Wambsgaiiss. Which means that Bush, who last spasnn rut off a ereat manv more hits i per game than any rival shortstop, consequently stopped many more runs, and consequently helped to win a shortstops with the average number Der same accented by each per game accepted oy eacn ol chances ! follow:

Regulars, 34; Alumni, 22. The old boys of the 1913 high school basket ball team failed to come back strong enough last night and went down to defeat before this year's team by the score of 34 to 22. Harris was in place of Brown for the 1914 aggregation and put up a rattling good game so that Brown was hardly missed from the lineup. Porter the diminutive forward of this year's team was also very much in the game and was perhaps the star performer. Al Laning played circles around Ball, last year's center, making five pretty baskets while his opponent was fortunate in making 1. In the absence of Hart of last year's team Beisman was shifted to the guard position. The veterans have now had their say and will probably keep mum in the future about having the best team of the two. A fair sized crowd of rooters was on hand to witness the scrap and all left with words of praise for the splendid team that Nohr has developed from green material. Alumni.

The scrap was fast and furious with the Quigleys getting away to a 3 to 0 start when they caged three in the first period while the Greeks were unable to get going and failed to score. The different style of play shown by the Pharmacists showed results in the first part of the game but the Greek defense soon solved their methods and from the second period on blocked them to a standstill. A crowd fully as large as the previous games witnessed the fracas and showed their appreciation of the efforts of the boys by applauding every good play. Perhaps the feature of the first period was the goal guarding of Alexander who was on the floor for the first time in several years. At the end of the second period the score stood 4 to 3 in the Quigleys favor with the Greeks showing more strength as the game progressed. In the third period they came back and took the game out of the fire despite the desperate playing of the Pharmacists. The score: Greeks. R. G A. 1 1 F. S.

CHAMPION PREDICTS SHUGRUE WILL WIN CLASH WITH WHITE Welsh Gives White Credit For Famous Left Hookto Accept Winner's Challenge to Finish. BY LEASED WIRE. NEW YORK, Dec. 29 Freddie Welsh, world's lightweight champion, who has fought both Charley White and Joe Shugrue, and will be at the ringside here when they meet tonight, and will accept the challenge of the winner to a finish fight, sized up the two men as follows today: "White may win, if he lands effectively with his famous left hook. He is a much harder hitter than his opponent, but not as clever a boxer. If he hits Shugrue cleanly a couple of times early in the bout he may be able to slow him up enough so that he will be able to get to him in the later rounds. "Shugrue hasn't the heavy punch that White possesses, but he has a corking left hand, and I believe that he will not have much trouble in using it to White's head, as Charlie fights wide open at times. Shugrue is one of the gamest lads I ever saw. He never stops forcing, and he is a bull for punishment. If he can weather White's left hook and jolts for a few rounds I believe he will take a lot of heart out of Charlie and win the decision. "1 have fought both boys. I know their style, and X could not figure a pair of youngsters that look more evenly matched."

For a Weak Stomach. Mrs. F. P. Tritsch, Rome, N. Y., writes, "About five years ago my stomach was very weak. I could not eat solid food.

M five and went down to a humiliating defeat by the lop-sided score of 8 to 0. For the first few minutes of play it looked as though the Smokes would hold em tight, but with in effective defensive play soon wilted and from then on it was not a question of who would win, but rather how many the Seeders would score. Despite the one-sided score, one thing stood out above all other, and that was the guarding done by Geyer. gmokes, 6dimimftive Uender. goalAs in the previous game he seemed to have to bear the brunt of the work, and all things considered, did a capable job. The A. S. M. team scored one in the first period, when Quigley put one behind Geyer on a shot from the side. They scored three in the second and ended by laying four in the netting in the last period. The score: A. S. M. R. G. A. F. S. Quigley 7 6 Fry 1 .. 1 ..

CHANGES PLANS (Continued from Page One.) benefit from the school of assessing which will be held the second and third days. Gets Other Standards. The assessor said today he Is going to ascertain the position of other counties in the state regarding real estate assessment before making a definite policy for this county in order not to make the relative assessments of counties unequal. "I am going to see if I cannot break up the practice of giving in land valued at $100 to $150 an acre at $40," the assessor said. "Every assessor will be instructed to do as the state law commands: Assess at the true cash value. I am also going to break up this thing of assessors taking the last assessment books and sitting at home to make out the new assessments." Mr. Mathews said he would try to secure the co-operation of township assessors to have the assessments made in detail, especially mortgages. In the past, mortgages have been given in lump sum. This prevents the detection of taxpayers who list only the mortgages in this county. Asks Wives Names. "If the assessor puts down $15,000 for mortgages and we find a mortgage held by that person In another county for $5,000. we cannot tell whether It is included or not." Mr. Mathews said. "I am also going to ask that the names of the wives be placed on the assessment sheets." Mr. Mathews believes he will be able to materially increase the property valuations on the assessment sheets and will also strike a scale for assessment which will not work injustices on more scrupulous taxpayers who will not declare the value of their property as low as others. The board of review w Inch will be composed of Joseph Commons, Benjamin Price, Auditor Bowman. Treasurer Chamness and Mr. Mathews, will stand behind the higher assessments. Bowman Aids Mathews. The position of the board on the matter of real estate assessments was indicated at the last session. Sweeping increases were made in certain Dr. E. N.

Auditor Bowman will assist Mr. Mathews in conducting the meetings for assessors before assessment time begins March 1. He will take a leading part in working out methods of equalizing assessments and of producing on the assessment sheets, figures nearer to the correct valuations. The fourteenth annual meeting of the tax commissioners and county assessors will be held in Indianapolis the first three days of next week. Mr. Mathews is preparing a report of the amount of omitted property he has placed on the duplicate in the past year. Among the speakers at the meeting will be Governor Ralston, Homer L. Cook, secretary of state; Dale J. Crittenberger, auditor of state; Daniel M. Link, Eben H. Wolcott and James A. Houck, tax commissioners, and Myron D. King, deputy state auditor. On Tuesday a school of assessment will be held. How to assess real estate, tangible personal and intangible personal property will be shown in twelve parts.
