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.

No less Impressive than the world
gathering of atnletes'at Los Angeles
for the Olympic games was the turn
out of the International press.
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.
