NO-HIT GAME WON
BY JESS HAINES

It Is not generally known but II Is
truth that Jess Haines was the first
Cardinal pitcher In As years. or since
1876, the first year OF tho National
league. to pitch no-hit game, when he
accomplished the feat on July II last
season. Hsines turned the rare trick
against the Boston Braves In the tuber-
culosis benefit game at Sportsman's
park. Incidentally, II was TIE only no
hit game in the National league in
1924. Only three men reached first on
Jess In the memorable contest, each on
a pass.
Despite this rarity, Haines lost more
games last year than any other Ma
tional league pitcher, save Jess Barnes
OF the Braves, who lost 20 and Joe
Genewich. also of Boston, who lost 10.

Jim Lavender Outpitched
Rube Marquard in 1912

1t was Jimmy Lavender, whose
name cOnjures up memories of laven-
der and old lace, OF flowery dells and
gentle zephyrs. who stopped Rube
Vanguard in his remarkable run OF
consecutive victories back in 1912
Frank Chance, manager OF the Chi
cago Cubs, selected Lavender to put
the quietus on the rambling Rube, be
cause the recruit had been going like
wildtire for two weeks previous Not
a run had been scored of Lavender's
pitching in 30 consecutive innings.
The struggle took place at Chicago ON
July s. 1912, and was fast and furi-
GUS for three innings The break
came in the fourth when the Cubs
added two runs to their score, making
1t to !. Marquard wavered, broke
and sprinted for the showers.
The big southpaw seemingly took
the defeat calmly, but underneath a
smile was a badly dented heart, for
that game would have given him the
absolute title. Lavender, the victor,
who had struggled long to make good.
suddenly found himself famous.
Strange TO relate both these celebrities
fell from their lofty pedestal, the vie
tor and vanquished fell fat and failed
TO do anything astonishing during the
remainder OF that season.
on July q these two limelighters
again met in battle array; both were
knocked out. After the game they
shook hands and Lavender remarked
that the peculiar angles OF baseball
were beyond all understanding.
