Mr. Roosevelt's train arrived at 7:15 p. m. Preceded by the military and followed by a score or cowboys and as many Indians in full war paint the former president was taken to hb hotel. BUSH PLAYS WITH CHILDREN Little Detroit Shortstop Is Great Ad mirer of Girls and Boys—Also Fond of Animals. Owen Bush, one of the most aggres sive ball players in the world, and a man who fights for everything when he la on the field, sparing neither um pire nor opponents if he thinks some one is trying to hand him the worst of it. is as mild as a kitten when he has a chance to play with children. The little shortstop has a mania for amu sing himself with the youngsters, and will spend hours talking to little boys and girls whenever the chance offers itself. Bush's idea of a real happy day is to be permitted to mind a brood of youngsters for several hours. He likes nothing better than to visit the married men of the Detroit ball club and spend his time talking to the kids. If there are children in the house, the grown-ups need expect nothing of Mr. Bush. Beyond the usual salutations, he contributes nothing to the gaiety of the adult cir cles. resenting it if anyone other than a child makes demands on his time. It is a matter of record that Bush once spent four hours of a visit to a fellow ball player amusing a child, without so much as speaking to any one else present. Fans who might have gathered the idea from watch ing Donie on the field that his favorite recreations are murder and assault and battery therefore will have to form a new opinion of the energetic and scrappy player. Next to children. Ownie likes ani mals. Anyone who abuses a dog or horse when he is present is likely to encounter a variety of trouble, for the Indianapolis boy has the courage of his convictions and will stand up for the beasts every time. TO CARRY TWENTY-FIVE MEN Manager Duffy of Chicago White Sox Gives Out Information He Will Keep Full Quota. Manager Duffy let loose the Infor mation that he was firmly convinced of the necessity of carrying the full legal quota of twenty-five athletes all Manager Hugh Duffy. season and had so recommended to President Oomiskey. "The way the team Is shaping up and the way the young players are making good. 1 don't see how I can help keeping the full limit of twenty fire players all season." said the Sox leader. "Practically all the young players we have give great promise. To my mind the way to bring out and de velop a youngster la to keep him where he will be learning something every day and will get a chance to Jump in and do things as big leaguers do them. "Sending a wise player back to a minor league will not develop him. Frequently he will work for mana gers who do not know any more baseball than he does and usually alongside of flayers who won't try to help him. He Is pretty sure to come back the next year, if he does come back, no better than he was the previous spring and perhaps with more faults than he started with." If one report Is to be believed. Ad dle Joes Is all In; If another is be lieved to. his arm was never as strong. Elliott, the new inflelder of the Highlanders, has been left >30,000 by a relative. He says he will keep right on playing ball just the same. Comtskey says Jimmy Callahan Is the wonder of the decade,” that Cal has come back with a vengeance, good as ever. George Stone s tegs are In bad con dltion. and he fears that hls playing days are about over. Stone didn't last very long, but he had his share of the calcium. New Haven, «t Is stated, has pur chased Pitcher Maberry from Cleve land. He was told to take his choice of Fanwell. Doane or Mayberry and lie took the latter. Connie Mack has announced hls reg ular lineup for the start of the season. Hogan, an outflelder. and Callamore, a pitcher, are the youngsters he picks to stay with the team.
