Jimmy Lavender has not been much
Of a pitcher this year just about the
sort Of a pitcher Rube MarQuard has
been. Until yesterdays game Lavender
had won light and lost nine games. and
there had been no intimstion all season
that he had any intention OF crowdlng
his way into the list Of no-hIt i'm
mortals.

fielder from Notre Dame, who made
home run for the Cubs and wrecked one
for the Giants. In the seventh inning
Larry Doyle smashed one OF Lavender
fast ones toward right centre held- "
was as hard a hit as Doyle has cracked
out In many weeks, and the croNt
divided between sympathy for Lavca
and admiration for Doyle burst
into sort Of cross between cloa;. *
croan and a signing cheer.
