Great Dies
Word was received today of the death of one
of Brainerd's two major league no-hit baseball pitchers, Leslie Ambrose "Bullet
Joe" Bush, at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. at 3 a. m. this morning in Holy Cross
hospital.
Born in Brainerd Nov. 27, 1892, Bush gained
lasting major league fame in hurling a 5-0, no-hit win for the Philadelphia
Athletics against the Cleveland Indians Aug. 26, 1916.
Bush advanced to the major leagues after
performing for Brainerd's crack 1911 team, playing professional baseball from
1912 through 1931 and compiling a major league pitching record of 195 wins and
180 losses while hurling for the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, St. Louis
Browns, Washington Senators, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Giants and then
returning to wind up his career with the team he started with, the Athletics, in
1928.
Bush married Alice Marie Wray Nov. 6, 1937.
The son of a Northern Pacific railway conductor, Bush is survived by his wife,
three brothers — Richard, Fargo; Leonard, Kenosha, Wis.; and Edward,
Walker. He had no children.
An employe of race tracks at Baltimore and
Miami in recent years, he had undergone three operations at Houston, Tex. while
having heart problems the past two years.
It is reported that Bush will be cremated.
