JOE BUSH TO PITCH
IN ST. LOUIS BATTLE
Athletics Playing Bettor Ball in
West, But Are Facing
Stronger Hurling.
ST. LOUIS, May 13 Joo Bush, one of
tho heroes of the 1913 world's scrips, Is
slated to mnko his first appearance of tho
season In St. Louis this afternoon, and nn
Joo has boon rapidly getting back Into
shape tho Browns aro likely to have their
hands full.
Manager Rickey Intends to send Grovcr
Loudormllk In to opposo "Bullet Joe"
provided tho big Southerner's hand, Is In
good shape. Grover was slated to start
tho scries against tho champion'", but
had his hand hurt by a line drive in
practice and It put him out of commis
sion temporarily.
Loudermllk la generally wild, and tho
Injury to his hand Is not likely to help
his control any, so the Athletics arc con
fident that they will take today's game.
In tho two games played to date the
Athlotlcs have looked good, though they
are not hitting as they should. The field
ing yesterday was high-class, despite four
errors, two of which were excusable.
With the pitchers showing moro con
sistency Manager Mack expects the team
to start climbing before It returns home.
On tho present trip the Athletics lmvo
faced better pitching than they saw In
the East. Morton, Iloch and AVcllmnn
are all going In mid-season form now,
which Is more than tho Mackmen say for
the Eastern pitching.
