Queen Of Camellias -LA i-xUrm '""J '""'Hi Jp. - i I By DOS JOSEPH NEW YORK (AP) Passengers In New York may go directly to their J destinations by their transportation system, but thla system Itself seems to be moving In a cycle. The first bus system, which waa also the first public transportation system, was established, according i to city legend. In the first half of the seventeenth century. It ran from the Battery up Broadway. Only recently street cars were re placed on Madison avenue by mo tor buses, with the announcement that thla policy would be carried to ; other lines. So New York has seen the bus supplanted In popular favor by the horse car. the horse car by the subway, the elevated railroad and the surface car. Now the bus. which never disappeared completely from ' the streets, Is becoming popular again. Ox-Carts L'sed Them What made the original line some what different waa that It used ox carts to carry Its passengers. Traffic problems didn't worry the Inhabitants of Manhattan much In those days. It wasn't until 1827 that I the astonished shopkeepers and their customers rushed to the wlnd dows to see the first omnibus drive down Broadway carrying 13 passen gers. Abraham Brower's Idea was so suc cessful and he charged a quarter a ride that two years later he built a closed coach which he called "So ciable." He followed this In J 831 with a much larger vehicle labelled "Om nibus." For a time, life on Manhattan streets was tranquil until many other enterprising men decided to follow Brower's lead. In 1862 one curious soul counted more than 6,000 busses passing a point on Broadway In an hour. A contemporary wrote: Bus It river Denounced 'The character of omnibus drivers has become brutal and dangerous to ; the highest degree. They race up and , down Broadway and through Chat ham street with the utmost fury.; Broadway, especially between Park and Wall street, la almost dally the scene of aome outrage In which the lives of citizens riding in light vo hides are put in Imminent hazard. Not content with running upon ev erything that comes In their way they turn out of their course to break down other carriages." In 1B32, the first horse car In the city, some say In the world, was put Into operation. The population of 301.000 didn't find this mode so use ful and the line was closed. Twenty years later It had a sudden and pros perous rebirth. Each new solution seemed only to bring further headaches to Father Knickerbocker. A period of Inventive genius followed. Compressed Air Suggested One man wanted a patent on a balloon with sails to waft the har ried passengers through the streets. Another designed elevated tubes through which cars were to be blown by air pressure. An elevated Inclined track, with the cars coasting down hill, to be lifted again every few blocks to a new elevation by com pressed air, was actually suggested to the city fathers. A gentleman by the name of Beach finally rolled up his sleeves, dug a tunnel 31U feet long and 0 feet In diameter under Broadway, and, in 1870, used fans to blow a car with the mayor inside from one end to the other. But the subway waa aban doned. In winter the buses were put on sleds and a boy sent ahead of the horses with a horn to warn heedless pedestrians. In summer they rolled along on wheels with two decks. Complain (if Spooning Some of the mure conservative rid ers were writing letters to the editor about young couples taking advan tage of the upper decks and summer nights for "spooning." Then progress came fast. Charles ; T. Harvey built an elevated railroad I several blocks long In 1807 and ) reached the dlw.y speed of 13 miles1 an hour, while people stood below In ; the streets and hooted him. The first commercial "elevateds" were moved along the tracks by a running cable, powered by a ata-1 nonary engine which was also the method used to pull street cars. One ! underground cable that moved sur-1 face cars waa 33.000 feet long and weighed 00.000 pounds. ftiilmny Opened In 1 no t The practical application of elec- -"?rr" Marion Shilling of the films was chosen to rule over j three day ex hibition of camellias In Los An geles.

There U one big league ball game I would like to see above all others this spring that will take place when Guy Bush atepa on the pttcher a mound In a Pirate uniform to face hla former mates, the Chicago Cubs, for the first time. Always one of the most diligent mound tollers In the game, he puts his .heart and soul Into every ball he throws. It la reasonable to expect that he will bear down with extra pressure when he goes to work on the Cub batten. , Bush was broken-hearted when the I Cubs traded him to Pittsburgh last j November, along with Babe Herman and Jim Weaver, in exchange for ; Freddie Lindstrom and Larry French. What hurt him most was that. after close to 10 years of service In : Chicago uniform, he had to learn! of the deal through the newspapers, i He was bitter In condemning base- j ball as a cold-blooded proposition, i Stunned and shaken, he tried to figure why they had traded him. He I couldn't find a consoling answer. Guy Bush plainly did not relish the Idea I of being traded to another club. j His friends Insisted his spirit was broken and never again would the i celebrates "Mississippi Mudcat" be the same firebrand on the mound. But that was last November. To day It Is quite evident that Guy Bush Is anything but a broken-heart- ed, spiritless athlete. His one do ml- ' natlng thought Is to get to the Pi rate's training camp at San Bernar- , dlno, Cel., as quickly as possible and 1 work himself Into condition for the f coming campaign. His contract has been signed and the way is clear. ( "I want to tell the world that I am a better pitcher today than 1 1 ever was, and that I'll be as good as I am for two or three years yet." he declared. "I'm only 31. I've averaged about 17 victories a season over a seven-year stretch." "See this arm?' holding out his long, powerful right. "It's got 20 vic tories for the Pirates this year. Last year I won 18 in spite of being laid up for quite a spell, butnow I'm rarln to go, with my arm In better condition than ever." Bush says he wouldn't have mind ed being traded half as much If he could see how the Cubs were going to benefit by parting with him. But he cannot. Nor can he see much hope for the Cubs In the coming pennant race. Quite naturally, he picks the Pi rates to be In the thick of the Na tional league fight. Ho looks for a three-cornered "clog fight" between the Pirates. Cardinals and Giants. For one thing he Is glad he won't have to pitch to Paul Waner anv more. That break alone he sees add ing three or four more victories to his string for the year. The Chicago uniform must have Tex Carleton. former side arm hurler of the Car- , dlnals. looks forward to wearing It i with the same keen anticipation that ! marked Bush's reluctance to give It up. "Don't waste your sympathy on me." he says. "I think It's swell. The Cubs weren't In the series last year, but they're rebuilding, and they are always up there. 1m tickled to death j to Join them."
