It is unfortunate for the leagues

that the South in summer is a fiery

The responsibility for the wrong

largely, of ball players themselves.

Cubs Have Another Giant Killer in Zimmerman
+•+ +•+ +••{• +•+ +••{•
Evers Developed Chicago Team’s Dreaded Slugger
' By W. J. Mcßeth.
NEW YORK. July I.—New
York has Johnny Evers to
thank for an affliction of the
Giants. One of the Trojan’s pet
curses has developed only this year
Heine Zimmerman, of the Bronx.
Evers is responsible for him.
Evers developed, discovered, prop
agated and otherwise groomed him
Into a holy terror. And the big
Giant of the Bronx is likely to show
his appreciation by divers home
runs off such redoubtable perform
ers as "Rube” Marquard and Chris
ty Mathewson before this present
season rolls into oblivion. Zimmer
man has just found himself in the
big show for the first time this sea
son. He looked like a million dol
lars to Gotham fandom on his re
cent tour with the Cubs.
In our fair city he worked in one
full game and part of another. In
the first he cracked out two home
runs Into the bleachers. In the
second he maced another over the
wall. No telling what he might not
have accomplished had he not
taken the count from a verbal tilt
with Umpire Finneran. Heine got
the gate for three days and couldn't
play any more against the cham
pions.
A Slugger Pure end Simple,
In many respects Zimmerman is
s real marvel of the year. Scarce
ly a day goes by that he does not
belt out a few triples and doubles,
and he has more home runs to his
credit than any other player in
proportion of games indulged in.
He is of the old-fashioned school,
the type of slugger that predomi
nated ten years ago. He used a
big. long bat, and takes a regular
‘‘Moriartty,” the professional ver
nacular for ful’ swing He’s a
strapping big fellow and gets about
as much energy into his thrust as
Chief Meyers or Harts Wagner.
These three are undoubtedly the
most powerful hitters in the league
Zimmerman is more or less a
child of fortune like the great ma
jority of the best pastimers. He
is one of the few great lights of
the profession who developed in
old New York. For, like Jack
Warner, the old Qiant catcher, and
Tim Jordan, the former Dodger
first baseman. Heine Zimmerman
was reared in the Bronx. It was at
school he first got the ' bug." He
was considered "some pitcher” by
the kids of Public school No. 61.
"Zimmy” also went to Fordham
for a spell. Rut he didn't take a
full college course His perform
ance as a school boy had attracted
the attention of the semi-pro and
independent promoters. They paid
him from $lO to S2O a week for
Saturdays and Sundays, and these
pickups came in mighty handy to
the big family of fourteen. Heine
was taken out of college ala ten
der age because he was a big, raw
bone youth, and apprenticed to a
plumber He drew $2 a day. with
occasional extras. With the week
end graft he began to consider
himself an embryo bloated capital
ist
Started as a Pitcher.
About that time Jim Robinson,
manager of the Wilkesbarre club of
the New York State league, got
w ind of Zimmerman's promise. He
came to New York one Sunday,
looked Heine over and signed him
up at $lO5 a month. Zimmerman
went out to the miners a-- a pitcher,
but as a pitcher he was a first-< lass
pttMube'. There wasn't much ■ lass
to him anyway Robinson looked
at him But Robby liked big men
and that saved Heine’s bacon. The
youngster was always ready to lis
ten and willing to learn
They put him up in ti pinch one
day and Zimmerman fairly knocked
the bail out of the cover The fur-
ther he went the better he looked
as a pinch hitter. He pinched so
often and so scientifically that Rob
inson decided he needed his big bat
in the works every day. So Heine
was converted Into an infielder.
They tried him at first, second,
short and third. He looked best at
second, and that position he played
when Evers uncovered him.
Heine was playing with Wilkes
batre against Troy one Sunday
when the little Trojan had gone
home on a visit. He was at his best
and won the game by his great
fielding and terrific hitting. On
Evers' recommendation, Frank
Chance immediately purchased the
Bronx lad for the sum of s2,non.
Zimmerman went to the Cubs at
a time when it was mighty hard
for him to get a thorough trial
The old marvelous aggregation that
had won three pennants and two
world’s championships in a row
was still intact. There was as much
chance of anybody breaking in as
there is for a cripple to break

Chance Stuck to Him.
Chance had his nerve to keep
Heine after the panning he got.
But he stuck to him and now comes
his reward. Maybe Zimmerman
never would have found his proper
sphere but for the unfortunate
death of little Jimmy Doyle. Chance
had no one else for third. That was
the bag for which Heine was made
to order. As soon as he got confi
dence in himself this spring he be

He’s a good third baseman—one/of
the best the Cubs ever had. dou

Zimmerman, single-handed, has
made a championship possibility
out of a club that every one fig

appointment. He has added just
the necessary’ hitting and fielding
strengtli to offset, the handicap
caused by Frank Chance's absence
from the game. His presence has
given a new lease of life to Joe
