Guy Bush, Once Country Lad, Now Heal 'City Slicker' My 1'u ul MhkelKon (Associated Picas Sports Writer) . CHICAGO (P) There was a time when Ouy Bush, the "Mississippi Mudcat" of Chicago Cubs pitching fume, feared city -slickers. . - - But now he's a city slicker him selfthe kind. who makes his money and keeps It. No grass has grown under Bush's feet Blnce the day he was virtually pushed onto a. train and sent to Chi cago to pitch for the Cubs. Ho has become one of the busiest men in baseball and one of the shrewdest. Between his work as a baseball player he runs a gasoline filling station and In the rest of his spare time he Is scheming and planning other means of replenish ing the Bush coffers. Feared Gangsters When a major league scout first discovered the "mudcat." he went Into ecstacy. With the usual suave speech he told Bush of all the won ders of the big city, and Bush agreed to go to Chicago. But en route ho left the train, ad mitting later he was "scared" to go to Chicago. He had "heard of gun men and city slickers" and would rather not go. After a long argu ment, however, he was pushed on tho train again and arrived as one of the greenest-looking rookies In years. Then presto! He changed from ah awe-stricken rookie to one of the flashiest dressers In baseball. He became the sartorial envy of his teammates. Now Walks In Dark He stopped looking for well lighted streets to do his walking, grew long sideburns and piloted a high-powered sports car through the heaviest traffic meanwhile becoming one of the stars of the National league. Now, when the Cubs are In town, you can find the "mudcat" almost any time at night at his filling sta tion. As soon as the games are over, he rushes away to his busi ness and stays there until the last car has come and gone. .INDIAN 111 RIAL (iltOl'M) UNCOVIIRKII AT AIR FIIX1 BAN RAFAEL.

When the games started there was at least one newspaper dele gate for. every three athletes. The boys In the press section were 900 strong. Tho gallery of experts easily broke all world's records for size, range of representations and were set to shatter the output of copy over a given period of time, exceed ing anything that has taken place for world's series baseball competi tion, heavyweight championship ftghta or other events of all-commanding Interest to the sporting public. More languages also were spoken in the Olympic press box than ever before and the facilities provided for . their benefit easily reached a new high. For tho games, ticker machines of the type used in brokerage of fices were Installed In all news paper and press association, offices to carry a "running story" of dally Olympic developments, , By a complicated system, all scenes of competitive activity, from the start of the games, were con nected with a central distributing system for the benefit of those de siring the returns in tabloid form.
