it is unfortunate for the leagues
of the South that the idea has.gone
abroad among baseball players
that the South in summer is a fiery
furnace, in which thrive only mos
quitoes. alligators, malaria and old
time ball players. This foolish no
tion makes II doubly difficult for
Southern league teams to get good
players.
The responsibility for the wrong
idea held by ball players about the
climate in the South Is the fault,
largely, of ball players themselves.
And it has resulted from the ball
players' natural tendency to exag
gerate A man goes South for a
season. He comes back and has to
talk. So lie tells, terrible tales of
the weather. Os course, be him

summer In perfect condition and
may have fairly wallowed in the
beat, but he doesn't mention that.
It could quite probably be dem
onstrated that the players In the
Southern league are fully as
healthy as those of any other. It
could probably be proved that there
is nd more typijoid, malaria, botts.
melancholia or housemaids knee In
the Southern league than In any
other. Statistics will doubtless
show that the death rate in the
eight Southern league cities is as
low as that In any circuit of Amer
ica.
Yet. so long as ball players go
North and peddle lying tales of the
Southern weather and Its awful
ness in summer, the leagues of
Pixie are going to have trouble in
getting players.
To remedy tills condition is dif
ficult Probably the best method
of procedure would be to deal firm
ly-with each case of the Coleman
type and to force every player
bought b\ a Southern team to come
South or to quit baseball for good.
This would be an expensive method
at first, but when the word got
around that a player bought by a
Pixie club had to play with it or
quit the game, there would be less
foolishness. Any player who came
South would soon find that the
weather was not as hot as it was
"painted " And after awhile this
"1-won't-come-South" foolishness
would l>e eliminated.

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 lias 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 t'ilt
with Empire Finneran. Heine got
the gate for three days and couldn't
play any more against the cham
pions.
A Slugger Pure and Simple.
In many respects Zimmerman is
a 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
"Moriarty," the professional ver
nacular for fuE swing. He’s a
strapping big fellow and gets about
as much energx Into his thrust as
Chief Meyers or Hans 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 Giant 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. But 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 $ll) to S2O a week for
Saturdays and Sundays, and these
pickups came in mighty handy to
the big family of fourteen. Hein£
was taken out of college at a ten
der age because he was a big. raw
bone youth, and apprenticed to a
plumber. He drew a day. with
occasional extras. With the week
end graft he began to consider
himself an embryo bloated capital
ist.
Started as a Pitcher.
>ut that time Jim Robinson,
of the Wilkesbarre club of
I llv York State league, got
nmerman's promise. He

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
barre 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
('hanee immediately purchased the
Bronx lad for the sum of $2,000.
Zimmerman went to toe Cubs at
a time when it was mighty hard
for him to get a thorough trial.
The ohj marvelous aggregation that
bad won three pennants and two
w'orld'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 marie the Cubs look like a
bunch of selling players. Zimmer

because Johnny Evers was out with
a broken leg. There has been just

Chance Stuck to Him.
Chance had his nerve to keep
Heine after the panning he got.
Rut 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 euery one fig
ured a sure second division dis
apopintment. He has added just
the necessary hitting and fielding
strength to offset the handicap
caused by Frank Chance's absence
from the game. His presence has.
given a new lease of life to Joel
