There isn't any use of having any spasms over the departure of Al O'Dell. We all regret it. Al ts a gland player in every depart ment of the game and a lively and useful man to have on the team. Yet Al couldn't be carried if the team was to stay within the salary limit which It is. Right now it looks as though Al is a good sight better first baseman than Agler. but this I- only because Agler has got away to a bad hitting start.

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 self may have passed through the 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.

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.

'TEAM HAno*, 11 one 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 man was assigned to second base because Johnny Evers was out with a broken leg. There has been just k'-tl— 1 * 1 . i Trusses Like These Are A CrinjL L ri I Get Rid of Elastic Bands. Spring. ano Leg-Straps. Such Harness Has Forced Thousands to Undergo Dangerous Operations. Trusses like those shown above—the nelt and leg-strap, elastic and spring tontraptions sold by drug stores, sur gical supply houses and many self styled "Hernia Specialists"—make life miserable for everybody who wears hem. And—even when drawn so tight you •an scarcely stand to keep them on— they do no good whatever.

Rupture--as explained In o U r free jooH—can’t be relieved or cured -can't »ven be kept from growing worse—un ese constantly held in place Just as a broken bone can’t "knit" unless the parts are held securely together.

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 Tinker and Johnny Evers. Thai i'ub infield has much of the pel and dash of the old array.
