r IMMY 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. I was working little until
the cold weather came along, and l
am in pretty fair shape"
Then the talk switched to ba aseball.
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
- crossing a pitcher when the count
is three and nothing by taking a
wallop at the "groover."
That's the way the American
League plays ball." said Billy Smith.
you bet it 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 a 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
e. ! duck and knocks him over. That's
the way those American Leaguers
play ball."
A E'TER which the problem was con-
n sidered of whether it was better
to tell a player how to bat. and how
many to take and what kind to hit
the way good many managers do
or to let him hit what he liked.
Again Jimmy had a case in point.
Johnny Evers got sick week or
two last season." he related, and
Tommy leach was made temporary

Federal band. With what team he VIII
play is not as yet definitely decided
upon, but Buffalo looms up as the right
one.
Clark Griffith says: "The Senators
are SO fortified by their strong hold on
the Washington public we do not need
a minor league club to protect us from
an invasion from the Federals. Grin
thinks differently from Charles SOM
ers, vice president of the American
League who transferred Toledo 10
Cleveland to block the Feds.
Len Burrell, who was in the North
western League last season until he quit
because of a sore arm, has mended his
whip and has signed with the Des
Moines team of the Western League
pitcher Black, who has signed with
Montgomery, wears the name of Karl

baseball.
Does it pay to be Crouch? ASK
Charley Murphy and he'll tell you. l

confession.

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 a bit of knowl-
i edge we had concerning the bat
ting average of on red-headed john
ny Corriden, formerly with the Kan
sas City Blues and now with the
Cubs.
with Dan Shay running the Blues.
back in 1911, Corriden was a peppery.
nervous ball player, apd did not pile
up much of a batting average. though
he hit them pretty hard. Shay was
always giving him 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, becausaphe was
such nervous chap. He would get
an earful of instructions and go up to
the bat and strike out or pop up.
w men 0dII tOOh llit l1iNi1o III tSl4sf
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 burden for the
Association pitchers, notably those
with a fondness for growing the first
pitch. That year he batted well over
300 and went to the Cubs.
ALSO, it looks as if Johnny will be
n one of the regulars this year. The
chances are that Sweeney won't be a
Cub. and. as Lavender sees it, 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.

" EORGIA'S great basketball
r quintet defeated Tech by a
score of 20 to "a last night
after the greatest college battle ever
held in the South. The Red and
Black boys came to Crystal Palace
confident of winning hands down. A
few weeks ago in Athens Georgia
won in a romp. They expected to
repeat likewise last night.
From start to finish it was a royal
struggle. The guarding of both
teams was excellent, but fourteen
field goals being thrown-eight by
Georgia and six by Tech.
Georgia won out in the final min
utes of play. Tech led at the end of
the first half, Is to IA.
Peacock put up a great game at
forward for Georgia. covering the ball
and passing in grand fashion. But it
was his ability at turning fouls into
points that really proved his worth to
Georgia as he rang thirteen baskets
by this route.
Lester got away for his only bas
kets of the evening in the latter part
cf the game. but he. made them when
they were badly needed by his team,
thus; making up in a way for being
held scoreless in the first half. Raw
son played good ball at guard, break
ing up the team play of Tech re-
peatedly by his splendid work.
The whole Tech team deserves ss-
, pecial credit for the manner in which
they fought the Georgia bunch dur
Ing the game never for an instant
letting their opponents rest.
Rivias and Mitchell played the
game of their lives at guards for
Tech, rushing in and securing the
ball and working it back down the
court to their forwards time after
time. Their passing was great.
Struppa did yeoman service at an
nexing points. tallying seventeen. He
was 'al over the court, disputing the
possession of the ball with a Georgia
man the instant he was loose. lie
shot a couple of pretty goals from
long distances.
The Tech team lost, but it can con-
sole itself with the thought that it
gave Georgia their hardest fight of
