Lavender Pays Atlanta a Visit
Cub Pitcher Talks About Batting

manager Evers. you know, is al
ways telling his players what to DO
when at bat. Now, take two he'll
tell one man when the pitcher is
wabbling, or Hit the first one'-all
kinds of stuff like that.
Tommy is an easy going chap, and
when he took over the job Of manag-
ing he said to the bunch: Go on up
there, boys, and hit anything that
looks good to you And, gee, how
that bunch did wallop 'em!"
THIS called to mind bit of knowl-
l edge we had concerning the bat
ting average of on redheade1 john
ny Corriden, formerly with the Kan
sas City Blues and now with the
Cubs
With Dan Shay running the Blues,
back in 1911, Corridor was peppery,
nervous ball player, and did not pile
up much of batting average though
he hit them pretty hard. Shay was
always giving hirn advice how to bat;
telling him to wait a pitcher out or
not to hit at curves, or something like
that.
1t got Jimmy's goat, because he was
such a nervous chap. He would get
an earful of instructions and go up to
the bat and strike out or pop up.
When Carr took the Blues in 1912,
he got Johnny down correctly, right
off the reel. His first instructions to
Johnny were about as follows;
GO up there, kid, and when you
see something you like pickle it,
This just suited Johnny, and he
began making life a burden for. the
Association pitchers, notably those
with a fondness for growing the first
pitch That year he batted well over
800 and went to the Cubs.
ALSO, 1t looks as IL Johnny will be
n one of the regulars this year. The
chances are that Sweeney won't be
Cub. and, as Lavender sees 1t, Zim-
norman will remain at third, and
Corriden and Phelan will be stationed
AT short and second, or maybe at sec
ond and short.
Lavender continued his journey
Friday night.

James Coffroth to
Open Negotiations
For Chicago Team

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2s.-James
Coffroth. for years leading fight pro-
moter of the Pacific Coast, to-day is on
his way to Chicago, where he hopes TO
spend several weeks. He is accompa-
MED by Lightweight Champion Willie
Richie.
Coffroth is leaving on a business mis-
sion which he doesn't care to name, but
while there will open negotiations with
Charles P. Taft, owner of the Cubs, for
the purchase of the Chicago National
League team.
In discussing the Cubs, Coffroth said:
II am a fight promoter pure and sim
pie, but | know a good business propo-
sition when l see 1t. If the Cubs are
not sold by the time / arrive in Chicago.
I'll negotiate. l have moneyed men back
of me. men who know the game and
who are anxious to invest Further, l
can say nothing until l reach Chicago .
1t is believed coast league baseball
magnates are in on the deal with Cot
froth. Just what his bid will be or what
conditions he will impose Coffroth
would not say. He is due in Chicago
Sunday.

r 1MMY LAVENDER, Cub Spit
baller, was in town Friday on
y his way to Florida to join the
other Cubs and Cublets in the Land
of Flowers for a bit Of spring train
ing. Jimmy was looking very well,
thank you, as he sat in an easy chair
at baseball headquarters and talked
with Billy Smith, of the Crackers.
Il didn't get an early start" he ex-
planned, because of illness in my
family. l was working little until
the cold weather came along, and 1
am in pretty fair shape"
Then the talk switched to baseball,
as it usually does when ball players
get together-batting averages, and
charley horses and sore arms, and
ivory pates, and all that sort of thing.
G OMEBODY said something about
y crossing pitcher when the count
is three and nothing by taking
wallop at the "groover"
That's the way the American
League plays ball." said Billy Smith.
You bet 1t is" replied Jimmy.
There's that guy Collins that plays
center field for the White Sox He
came up with Big Jim Vaughn pitch
ing in our last city series Three
men were on bases and Big Jim
wheeled up three balls in row. Then
what does Mr.. Collins do? Wait him
out, does he not? He does not. Big
jim lays one UP the groove, and,
blooie!-back it goes so fast it pops
the big fellow in the chest before he
ca duck and knocks him over. That's
the way those American Leaguers
play ball"
A F'TER which the problem was con-
- sidered of whether it was better
to tell a player how to bat, and now
many to take" and what kind to hit
the way a good many managers do
or to let him hit what he liked.
Again Jimmy had case in point.
Johnny Evers got sick week or
two last season." he related, and
