 For the first two years that Jav- cry graced the roster of the Boston Braves, his height-6 feet 3 inches was the only detail that gained him any distinction. for he won only two games in 1940 and 10 last year. His minor league mark was even less impressive since he won only 12 in two seasons.
 Mediocrity on the mound for as long as that, especially when 1t con- tinued for the better part of this season, ticketed him for quick trip to the minors. But somewhere, somehow, ''The Count" found out how to make his pitches count and he's become the toughest pitcher to score on in the senior circuit.
 Javery registered one-hit, 20 victory over the Dodgers yesterday in the first game of a doubleheader, cut to seven innings by weather, for his 10th triumph and fifth Shutout of the year.
