Big Jim Vaughn Has Tackled Pirates Twenty-Eight Times —Won Twenty-Three Games

Jim Vaughn, the Cubs’ big pitcher, wishes that all othei; National league clubs were as easy for him as are the Pirates. The great southpaw has faced the Pirates 28 times in his six campaigns in the senior major league circuit and has won 23 of these games. He-joined the Cubs in the fall of 1913,. but did not work in a game against the Pirates that year.

In 1914 he turned the Smoky city outfit back five times in six starts, and In 1915 won three out of four against the Pittsburgh crew. In 1916 he was charged with losing two games to the Pirates, though he entered both of these games in the closing innings, going to the relief of a team mate. He beat them five times in a row In 1917 and five times out of six In 1918, and came out on the long end of a meeting with the Pirates in the opening game of the present season. Seven of the 23 victories Vaughn has hung up at the expense of the Pirates have been shut-outs, and he allowed them an average of only six hits per game.
