It is rumored that waivers have
been asked on Jim. 1t has not been
confirmed, but his work bears it out.
Once this year Lavender pitched a
good game. In his other starts he
has shown the weakest work of any
grapeviner on the Cub payroll. Law
ender was too heavily press-agented
last season. He beat the Giants at a
crucial time and was Immediately

The scrappy leader of the Giants
opined that Lavender was not such

was over he would be trimmed regu-

Lavender was pitching. The Monte

Glacial Ice Cominu.

A Norseman who has been reading
the reports of threatened ice famine
in some of the big cities along the
Atlantic coast Of the United States Is
preparing to carve up one of the gla-
ciers that are to be found at the river
heads of Norway and bring this frozen
commodity to the American market.
There is no apparent reason why Nor
way glacial ice should not be sold at
a profit in those cities VIII, re the re-
tail price Of ice has been advanced
to a figure far beyond that which pre-.
vailed last year.
Of the coast Of Newfoundland, less
than 1000 miles to the northward of
New York city, are floating iceberg
enough to supply the needs Of 20,O00.-
900 of people through the hottest Of
summers. The average man why buys
his ice in small blocks has doubtless
often wondered why these huge bergs
should not be blown up with dyna-
mite and towed down the coast in
sections for summer consumption In
the large coastal cities of the United
States The Norseman is proposing
to do something like this. only he will
saw his bergs into small blocks and
load them on ships. Thus the trans
nortation will be more rapid and loss
