Bush, on the other ha,nd, had teriflla

the Athletics were concerned. Up to this

parently had plenty of stuff, but was
wild and constantly in a hole, and when
forced to put the ball over the plate the
Sox hit him hard. On the other hand,
Faber showed great form after the first,
inning. Oldrlng'a double and a wild throw
by Weaver gave the Stockmen an early
lead, but they did not hold it long.
