Bush Manages
Washingtons
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13 (Donnie)
Bush. veteran infielder. will guide the
fortunes of the Washington American '
League baseball club as manager in
the 1923 pennant race. AnnounCu—
ment that he had selected Bush to
succeed Clyde Milan. whose retirement
as manager was made known at the
conclusion of last Oeason was made by
Clark Griffith. president of the club,
over the telephone last night from
New York. where he is attending the
American League conferenc. The final
decision was made. Grimth said. after
it conference with Bush for which he
uummoned him to New York.
The former Detroit infield star. whb‘
Grilth rated in his telephone conver-
sation with the sport editor of a. local
newspaper last night was one of the
"craftiest infielder: and best brains
the game has ever known," he came
to Washington as a. utility player the
latter part of the 1921 season, when
waiver. were asked on him by the
Detroit club. He had played shortstop
and second base there since 1908» Bush
filled in at third base for the local club
during e. number of games last season:
Bonnie's appointment to the mamb-
leriel berth came as an almost sur-
prise to Washington random. his name
never having been brought out among
those mentioned as possibilities.
When talked to over the telephone
after Grimth’ s announcement. Bush
was reticent in making predictions,
but declared he believed “with the
players on the present roster of the
club a winning combination can be
whipped into shape." He is under-
stood to have accepted the position
only on the condition that he be given
an absolutely free hand in managing
the club.
