While izing that Bush ls slip- ping as a pitcher, isn't the bush of five or slx years ago, the same holds good for Shocker, “However, Bush can do something beside pitch. He ia a fine outfielder. and a great hitter. Last season he was the first choice of Miller Hug- ging, whea the Yankee manager wanted a right-handed pinch-hitter, “Bush has the abllity to win an outfleld berth on most any club in the American league. A player of his abllity, aslde from his pitching value, would bring blg money it he wus In the minors. “I expect Bush to have at least a couple of good years with us as a pitcher. Then if we so desire we can try him regularly In the outfleld. “I feel that the Browna got the edge In the deal. Anyone who knows the worth of Gaston as a pitcher will tell you he i8 one of the most promising youngsters in the Ameri- can league.” “The Yanks needed pitching mate- rial, a veteran who could be banked on to win 20 games" says Miller Huggins. “I feel we got such a player in Shocker. If he comes through we should win the pennant.” (Copyright, 1925, NEA Serviee, Inc.)
