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-
1 edge we had concerning the bat
ting average of on red-heade1 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 him advice how to bat;
telling him to wait pitcher out, or
not to hit at curves, or something ike
that.
1t got Jimmy's goat, because he was
such a nervous chap He would got
an earfuI of instructions and go up to
the bat and strike out or pop up.
Wnen Carr TOOK lle blues III lJ!"'
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 fist
pitch. That year he batted well over
800 and went to the Cubs.
ALSO, it looks as if Johnny will be
"A one of the regulars this year. The
chances are that Sweeney won't be
Cub and, as Lavender sees 1t, Tim
norman will remain at third, and
Corriden and Phelan will be stationed
at short and second, or maybe at sec
ond and short.

r IMMY LAVENDER, Cub Spit
baller, was in town Friday on
- his way to Florida to join the
other Cubs and CubIets in the Land
of Flowers for 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 a little until
the cold weather came along, and l
am in pretty fair shape"
Then the talk switched to ba seball,
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 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 row. Then
what does Mr.. Collins do? Wait him
out, does he not? He does not. Big
Jim lays one up the groove, and,
blooieI back it goes so fast it pops
the big fellow in the chest before he
cc1 duck and knocks him over. That's
the way those American Leaguers
play ball"
A FTER which the problem was con-
~ 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 a good many managers do
or to let him hit what he liked.
Again Jimmy had case in point.

two last season." he related, and

Georgia and six by Tech.
Georgia won out in the final min

the first half. 10 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
CT the game. but he made them when
they were badly needed by his team,
thus making up in 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-

The whole Tech team deserves es-
pecial credit for the manner in which
they fought the Georgia bunch dur

game of their lives at guards for
