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 Sing Sing. Besides Zimmy got in rather bad In the world's series of 1910. That’s the year the Ath letics made the Cubs look like a bunch of selling players. Zimmer man was assigned to second base because Johnny Evers was out with a broken leg.

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 gan to show the game of his life. He’s a good third baseman—one/of the best the Cubs ever had. dou bly good because he’s such a slug ger. Zimmerman, single-handed, has made a championship possibility out of a club that every one fig ured a sure second division dis 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 Tinker and Johnny Evers. That Cub infield has much of the pep and dash of the old array. If Chance only had some pitchers, he would make things interesting for the champions even yet.
