Lavender Pays Atlanta a Visit
+o+
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-
edge we had concerning the bat
ting average of on red-heade1 john
ny Corridor, 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 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 a pitcher out. or
not to hit at curves, or something like
that.
1t got Jimmy's goat, because he was
such 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 i'll"
This just suited Johnny. and he
began making life burden for the
Association pitchers, potably those
with fondness for growing the first
pitch. That year he batted well over
800 and went to the Cubs.
A LSO, it looks as if Johnny will be
"a 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
Corridor and Phelan will be stationed
at short and second, or maybe at sec
ond and short.
Lavender continued his journey
Friday night.
