ment Of the new league, and are ask
ing him il the organization is on a
solid basis.
Though loose fielding prevented
the Cubs beating the Cards yester-
day, forcing them to come home in
fifth place, there were two encourag-
ing features for the fan who looks
below the surface.
Jimmy Lavender pitched some real
ball for six innings and might have
continued if it had not been necessary
to put in Phelan to bat for him in the
seventh. Two hits were made by the
Cards, and nary a run would have
scored if Jimmy Archer and Jimmy
Johnston had not compiled errors in
the first frame.
1t was unquestionabIy the best
game Lavender has pitched in two
years land his previous work this
spring leads to the belief that he is
to be winning pitcher, able to take
his regular turn and get away with it.
In the past Lavender has been
wont to crack along in the fifth in
ming, and from then to the finish take
a sound rapping. He usually came
out of the box in about the seventh,
showed under an. avalanche of hits
Yesterday he improved as the game
went on, and after the sixth inning
did not yield the semblance of a hit.
He famed five men, and one of them
was Chief Wilson, former Pirate, now
star swatter of the Cards.
Wilson has given Lavender more
trouble than any other batter in the
league. The Chief took kindly to
Jim's splitter, and delighted in bust
ing it to the far corners. He was much
upset last year when their were
rumors that Lavender was to be re-
leased. Now he may be sorry.
Jimmy Johnston, though he made
costly error, atoned for it by his
hitting. He busted three soaks, one a

pitchers.
Art PheIan is still the dandy pinch
hitter. He came on in the seventh
with three Cubs on base and pound
ed one of Sallee's highly-prized
shoots for two bases. The two runs
he drove in were all the Cubs counted.
Cheney pitched the last nine in
nings and allowed six hits and one
run. Higgins used four pitchers. The
Cubs made their usual five errors,
Zim committing two, half the
chances he had.
Jimmy Callahan has achieved his
desire. He took his Sox away last
night firmly entrenched in first place,
and should come back from the west
ern end of the circuit with his stand
ing unimpaiTed. s-
Benz received able assistance 1t
was not good pitching that won. He
held the Browns to six hits, small
total, but would have been in difficult
ties several times if the infield had not
come to his rescue with sterling
plays. Four times the Sox killed two
men at one time, and these double
determinations each time followed a
bingle.
To make the victory certain, the
batters came through. Collins bang
ed two doubles, Blackburne a double
and single, Schalk. pair of singles,
Chase a triple and Daily a single that
scored pair of runs.
John Collins is leading the league
in batting at present. He is high
above any man who has played in
every game, and the confidence with
which he is meeting the ball should
carry him along, Both of his doubles
went to left field mile a minute.
Once he whaled a sacrifice fly far
into left that scored Chase, and the
fourth time he cracked a tall foul
out to the fence that Walker got aft
er the hardest kind of a run.
