STANDARD SPORTING PAGE H LAVENDER A SAFE M BET FOR THE CUBS H With nil the talk of trades and deals H to he pulled off beforo the start of H the training season in 1913, little is H heard of one Jimmy Lavender. It's Hi r.Imost a certainty that the lad with B,v the color scheme for a back monicker H I will be in the mixing, however, and H ho'll bo wearing the uniform of a Cub B and he cavorting around under the Bf management of John Evers. HBVBi Jimmy made good in the season just M passed, and, although there's been a M lot of regular rumors to the effect that H the Cub pitching staff would hae to Hj be strengthened for next year, it's al- Hl most a family jewel bet that Laven- H der will he among those present. H Jimmy's chief stunt during the flura- H mcr past was to stop Rube Marquard. You all know that the Rube was out H on a record-breaking tour, and that it H was the youthful recruit who put the Hj I crimp in him. Lavender broke up a H winning streak which looked like a HL. i blue ribbon winner. H The recruit was born and bred a Southerner and is proud of the fact. H He's got no use for any tribe that H shades to the ebony hue, which was H i best shown back in his minor league Hft days, when he was asked to twirl a Hh game against a team of Cubans. Lav- H ender immediately rebelled and said HP in a few words that he'd rather quit Kt the game than go on the mound and HF fling at the boys from the island, H In his early days Lavender had no H thought of being a baseball player. B He went to the Georgia Tech, where Hl ho took up the study of mechanical Hj engineering, and it wasn't until he had H I reached the age of 21 that he definlte- ly decided to take up the national K" pastime as a profession. Prior to that H Mine he had only played a little, not H even trying for a place on the college H nine, but contenting himself with an occasional game pitched for his class team. In 1906 ho started with the Augusta team in the South Atlantic league. Next year he was promoted to the Virginia league, and in 1908 he joined the Holyoke team In the Connecticut league. It was while he was with this club that he was called upon to twirl against the Cubans and refused to do so. In the fall of that same year Provi dence drafted Jimmy from the Hoi yoke aggregation and for the next few summers he was destined to obscurity with that club, which was noted for its race for the cellar position each succeeding season. Last .spring Jimmy was "wished on" the We3t Side team He was not drafted because the Cubs wanted him, but becauso Montreal wanted him as part payment for tho release of Ward Miller to Chicago. Scouts had watched Lavender pitch when he was with the Providence club, but the price placed on him by that club seemed to be too high, and he drifted along with the obscure crowd until he Tvas wished on the West Side bunch Those who have followed the game figure that Lavender will be a big help to the Cubs, in 1913. He's not a flash twirler, hut he's learned the art of flinging slowly and thoroughly and they expect him to do great things in the coming year He Is a spitball pitcher by reputa tion, but uses cruves and a "fast one" much oftener than the fellows in the gallery think he does. He keeps the batsmen guessing and generally puts the first one over with telling effect COOK TO REFEREE WOLGAST BOUT Hiram Cook, the veteran who ref ereed the Jim Corbett-Pcter Jackson, Dempsey-Lablanche and Dixon -Weir ring battles, and was a famous arbi ter 20 years ago, may be tho third man In the ring when Ad Wolgast and Willie Ritchie meet on Thanks giving day. Cook Is 60 years old, but Is hale and hearty Tho selection will be made before next Monday. If Cook Is not chosen, Eddie Smith, Charlio White or Jack McGulgan will ofilclate. DEMAREE MADE GREAT RECORD Pitcher Al Domaroo, who. In his Initial appearance as a member of the New York Glant3, scored a shutout victory In the game that cinched tho National league pennant, promises a great future. The remarkable work of Demareo In his major league debut Is but an additional chapter to a series of wonderful pitching successes which thi t playor has had this year. It is doubtful if any record has over been made In organized baseball such as Demaree has made this year. Pitching for the light-hitting Mo bile team of the Southern league, De maree won twenty-five games and lost ten. In none of the defeats was he hit hard, and In only four games ere the opponents able to get more than three runs. Three of these four games he lost and all his other de feats were registered when he held his opponents to three runs or less In thirty-five games he pitched eleven shutouts, seven games In which he allowed the opponents only one run, seven games in which they got only two runs and fie games which netted tho opposing team three runs. Ouce he allowed four runs, twice he was reached for five runs, and once for seven. He was not battod out of the box during the entire season, and fin ished every gsme ho started with the exception of one, when ho was taken K , A jimmy pipe's god i fast 8 wherever J!0yr2 i you smoke it! f yO H if it's filled with Prince Albert it' H tobacco, now Titer-nationally ,i H famous for its delightful aroma VBS H and delicious flavor.

MITCHELL DENIES BEING BRUISER Mike Mitchell of the Cincinnati Reds Is a quiet, good-natured fel low, but some of tho scribes who 1 must fill space . . always featuring him in team fights Even that won't make him mad, though It doesn't plcaso him. "Honest," said Mitchell, "according to these reporters I have licked nearly eery man on the Cincinnati club. Onlv recently they had me fighting with Bol) Bescher, and the best part of !t was that I whipped Bescher Two years ago I got a decision over Larry McLean in an awful battle 1 have whipped several others, to hear the rumorsmlths and the knockers tell about it. 'But think of them crediting mo with whipping Bescher and McLean How such things can get out J don't know 1 am sure that any player who couldn't get along with smiling Bob, and big, good-nature 1 Larrv, wouldn't be able to get along with his own mother. "I never saw a man who would stand frv more than McLci 1 hive seen fellows pour a bucket of Ice wa ter on him while he would be sitting In the clubhouse after a game, and all the big fellow would do would be to toss a shoe or something at his tormentors Yet they spot Larry as a trouble-maker and a bad man. He could be bad If he wanted to, but It Isn't his nature to fuss "These fights between ball players are great to read and hear about. When a fight does take place no one eor gets to hear about it." WIFE COACHES FRENCH BOXER It is rather unusual for a woman to be mixed up In any way in a boxing match, but Mme. Isabelle Til, wife of Paul Til, the French lightweight, has been making a name for herself In Australia Mrs Til, who Is a clever little French woman, attends all the fights In which her "hubby" Is on gaged, and is always at the ringside to watch Paul's every movement Dur ing the recent battle between Til and Young McCoy at Sydney the little Frenchman received a straight left on the nose, and the claret began to flow The little Frenchwoman could not stand for this, and rushed to the of fice of the management and protcsc ed that McCoy was not fighting fair, but hitting In tho clinches which she said woul'l not be tolerated in France However, the rules were not transgressed according to the referee, and everything went along smoothly ifter Paul had his face doused with tle sponge. "It was the first time I ever saw blood on Paul's face." said Mr6. Til, "and, of course. I thought matters were worse than they really were " She had forgotten all about the incident tho day following, and helped to entertain many ladies at the stadium with a pink tea, which is all I the rage there nowadays, these mat inees being given once a week for the fair sex. WATHEN BUYS THE LOUISVILLE CLUB A meeting of the American asso ciation magnates was held in Chica go Friday when the sale of tho Louis ville club to O. H. Wathen, of Louis ville, was ratified He was found to be satisfactory to the league and hastened away to close tho deal with Owner Grayson. Wathen represents a syndicate of Louisville men who have taken up the club at a price said to be $100,000, EVERS WANTS TO BUY A. HAUSER Baseball fans were again stirred by a chance of a trade when Miller Hug gins, manager of tho St. Louis Cardi nals, blew Into Chicago after his stay at Milwaukee, where he attended the meeting of the minor league magnates Ho met Owner Murphy and Manager Eyors of the Cubs, and for three long hours they met In tho Cub office and talked When magnates and mana gers meet and talk for three hours there Is something in the wind. It means that some baseball deal Is on. for they are not particularly fond of each other. Tho whole thing hinges on, what Johnny Evers was willing to give for a coupe of likely ball players. Hug gins had a couple, but he could not be persuaded to put Arnold Hauser on the market, and that was where the long discussion came in, Evers wants a shortstop and he wants Hau eer if he can get him, but the peppery little St. Louis leader put the N. D ,slgn out when Hauser was mentioned. - If they throw in the Corn Exchange bank and the city hall, with the rest of the Cub team, he might consldor the trade, that is. he might wlro Mrs. Brltton about It ACCIDENTS MADE A STAR CATCHER When the American league season of 1912 began Forest Cady was Bos ton's third catcher. Bill Carrigan and Leslie Nunatnaker were considered tho first string backstops of the Red Sox Cady warmei the bench while his two colleagues did all the work. Then Carrigan was hurt NY.namaker became the first catcher for the time being It went on that way for nearly two weeks Then Nunamaker was hurt and Stahl wag forced to call on Cady As Nunamaker handed Cadv his chest protector, he bald- "Go and do the best you can I will be ready again In a few days " "Huh1" replied Cady "By tho time you aro ready Stahl won't' know he has any catcher except Carrigan and me." Rather egotistic, but true neverthe less Cady has been a first stringer ever since Handling Joe Wood's deliverv so capably. Cady was per manently assigned to catch Smoky Joe His final bit of recognition came when he was picked to catch Bedlent In Saturday's game. Carrigan having been Bedient's receiver in the American league games. So from third catcher to first catcher has been Cady's jump in one season WOLGAST GIVEN DIAMOND BELT Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast today was debating what to do with tho diamond championship belt pre sented him by Promoter Tom McCare as the result of his win from Jose Riv ers. 'I can't wear it," said the cham pion "It's too heavy, and besides the thing is worth $1,000 and I'd have to have a bodyguard If I don't wear it what's the use of having a belt?" Because of the unsatisfactory out come of the Wolgast-Rivers battle McCaroy held up the presentation of the belt for several months Wolgast went to San Francisco today to be gin training for his bout with Willie Ritchie Thanksgiving day. PLAN TO FORM NEW OUTLAW LEAGUE Chicago, Nov. 19 Word was re ceived hero tonight of a move on the part of several western league clubs to break away from the present cir cuit and expand. The invasion of Chicogo and tho establishment of riv al clubs in several American asso ciation cities are Included in the plan to form, a new "outlaw" league Its promoters in the Western league expect to be joined by dis gruntled American association own ers, but in case this does not occur, the plans the to locate rival clubs in such towns aB are necessary to make a compact and paying circuit. HOLD FIFTY-MILE INDOOR MARATHON A fifty mile Indoor marathon will be held In Milwaukee November 22 and besides an $800 gold cup, ten oth er prizes have been hung up. Several runners from Chicago will compete, among which will be found John Kal las of the P. A.

NORTHWESTERN SQUAD NOT SATISFACTORY Chicago, Nov. 20. The Northwest ern upiveraity foothill squad went through Its second day of hard prac tice yesterday, The scrimmage with the freshmen was far from satisfac tory to Coach Hammett. After an Sound Sleep is usually impossible to the bilious. But biliousness yields and head aches, sour stomach, indigestion go when the bowels are regulated and the liver and kidneys stimulated by BELCHAM'S PILLS , liour's practice tho freshmen made ono touchdown on a long forward pass. Coach Hammett is in doubt what men to use at guard and tackle against Illinois. SCRIMMAGE PRACTICE. Chicago, Nov. 20. Scrimmage praotlco by the University of Chicago football team was .deferred again by Coach Stagg The team went through signal practice for two hours while : tho kickers punted, drop kicked and I tried goals from placement In the I hope that they might get in a posi tion to ubo some of the latter against MltinoBQta next Saturday. t INDIANA DEFEATS SCRUBS. j Bloomington, Ind., Nov 20.

UTAH WOMAN FOR VICBPRESIBENT frs, Margaret Zane Witchcr, of Salt Lake, may receivo the compli mentary vote of the presidential elec tors of Utah and Vermont for vice president of the United States, when the ejectors meet in Washington next month to deliver the vote cast by their respective states for president and vice president. The Republicans at the recent elec tion carried only two states, Utah and Vermont. On account of the death of Vice President James S. Sherman, who had been renominated by the Republicans, there is a vacancy on the Republican national ticket. Re publican presidential electors are at liberty to fill this vacancy when thev meet to deliver the vote of their statos. There Is a strong sentiment in favor of casting the eight votes of Utah and Vermont for some promi nent Republican from ono of these states. Eph Homer of Provo, presidential elector from Utah, yesterday' started a boom for Mrs." Margaret Zane WItcher for tho place made vacant on the ticket by the death of Vice President Sherman. Of course, there would be only eight votes cast for Mrs. Witchcr, but the. fact that this has been the first time a woman has beon suggested for the place of vice president is in itself a signal honor. Thus far, Vermont has submitted no candidate for the vice presidency, and it would appear that tiiero was moro than a possibility that Mrs, WItcher might be solected by the Utah and Vermont electors to receive this com plimentary vote. -oo TROOPS BURNING TO ENTERCAPITAL London, Nov 20.
