Purchased by the Chicago club of
the National league, in the fall of
1911, Lavender began operations In
the big league in the spring of 1912,
and his first season was a decided sue

least expected.

New York Giants, who had been soar

amazing pace having won 10 straight
games.
Previous to this mighty feat Laven-

ing three consecutive runless games,
and, although recruit, Manager
Chance considered him. the proper Sc

pitching feats credited to Lavender his
no-hit. no-run game against the New

the masterpiece Of his career.

Few of them, at best, are interesting

wardly. taking up too much room in
small places. In the latter cases the
door may not be slit in two and swung
from either side, SO that it opens
through the middle, but it can be split
through the center and so arranged
with hinges that one part doubles back
against itself.
Panels decorate a door and add in
terest TO it. Plaster casts are used
quite frequently in this country when
the Spanish idea of brass pieces for
this purpose cannot be followed out
because of added expense.

Then few days later, when
the Darbytown movement was made
to recover the lost Battery Harrison
line, we found him just up against the
enemy's cavalry picket, which had
been driven in by ours, and in hot pur-
suit. We had been on the move since
