Jimmy Lavender, pitcher of the Chicago National League Club, was born at Monte- zuma, Ga., on April 18, 1887. After gaining his first experience with Gordon Insti- tute, at Barnesville, Ga., Lavender had a professional trial with Augusta, of the South Atlantic League, in 1906. In 1907 he was with Danville, of Virginia League, and Philadelphia Americans purchased him, but sent him to Holyoke, of Connecticut League. In 1908 Boston Nationals drafted him, but turned him over to Providence, of International League. He re- mained with that club until the fall of 1911, when he was drafted by Chicago Nationals.

Bill Terry, manager and first baseman of the world's Champion New York Giants, follows the policy of trying for every ball that he can possibly reach, placing the burden of covering the base on such plays upon the pitcher, who should run over whenever there is the slightest doubt that his first baseman may not be able to get. back to the bag in time.
