Crackers Have a Big Boost for Jimmy Lavender
By Percy H. Whiting.
R" OYRTON has Its Cobh, and Al
pharetta its Rucker And
■ ' now by heck Montezuma has
Its Lavender ». Iso. a- has been
stated Lavender isn't a color but
with the Giants anyhow, a state
of mind For James Lavender
It was who brought to a close the
most marvelous run of games ever
pitched bv living man the nine
teen straight of Richard LeMar
quls. alias Rube Marquard Also
Jimmy has pitched such ba!! that
I* he ranks as one of the reallv great
pitchers of the big leagues today.
Delving into baseball histories
bring* to light these farts about the
career of James Lavender:
rAMEP SANFORD 1 AVENDER Is
J a native of G -orgia and hails
from v-ntezuma. Macon county,
where he fir*t sav the light of day
on March 2 n . I".' In 'he Eastern
league from which he was grad
uated to the Cubs Lavender earn
ed the sobriquet of "iron man ' bx
filling th* role of ready rescuer In
.addition to pitching in his regu
lar turn or oftener
Lavender would not have had a
tn -out w ith the Cubs this spring
but for the Interpositions of the
national commission. Obtained by
means of the draft from P r ’vtdem e
last fa!!. La render was almost im
mediately turned over to the Mon
treal club in part payment for
Ward Miller, who was purchased
from the Rox-Vs earliei in the sea
son The deal "’as a cold blooded
attempt on Montreal's part to grab
the man from providence Th*
Cubs had no idea of keeping him,
but merelv tried to do a little
friendly stunt for Montreal
Montreal, however, belongs to the
same league In which Providence is
included Objection "as made bv
the Rhode Island club against ba'
Inga pitcher taken from its ranks
only to be dumped unceremonious
ly into the lap of a rival club with
out trial and with no i hance to bid
I for his return. The national com
mission setoed th p deal and re
manded Lavender to the Cubs with
order* to give him a trial, and if
found 'van'ing '" glvr Proxideme
first ca'l on h'.s service* unless of
course some other major league
team refused to valve on him
J When Lavender was inmp.w
tivelv a kid his famfh moved from
Montezuma to Barnesville and
Lavender " i nt to Gordon institute.
He was not a regular pitcher for
the Gordon team, but worked in
some games H's first real pit< h
ing was don- for the independent
team which represented Barnes
ville in neighborhod game?
Later the Montezuma lad a'tend
ed Georgia Tech entering in sopho
more year and undertook the
course In mechanical engineering
That he was serious In hl* seirili
of a profession is evidenced bx the
fart ho was not considered an}
kind of a pitcher while in college
He pitched a few games for hi= < lass
team in interclass championship
affairs, but never made the varsity
nine It was not until af'erwards
that he rw.l!' discovered he < ould
pitch
j r jnof; p’s professional career
began in the Seth Atlantic league
as a member of th- Align 'a team,
though pcevtou* to that time he had. |
had a brief experience " Itb the
luckless Georgia Slat' 1 league of
turn; Ed Ram’ k the Augusta
mogul. decided that Lavender

went to Danville in the Virginia

against Lavender. The next year
found Lavender a long waj from

the tutelage of Jat k Tighe, now
