St Louis May 22 A North Carolina born righthander turned southpaw leads the National League with six victories and no defeats. Hubert Max Lanier of Denton, N C signed with the Cardinals in 1933, delayed by minor league pay, moved to the majors in 1938, and set the league’s best left handed mark last season with 15 wins. Lanier, who became left handed after a broken arm, is a quiet, capable pitcher who also plays guitar and mouth organ and enjoys laments before games. He holds a seven inning unfinished game vs Philadelphia in 1944, with the teams to complete the game later in June.
