the managerial reins have been
turned over to .Jack Olpe. well

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.

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." J
