HURTS WORK
OF CUBS h.

New York Globe)
BY scrapping among themselves the
Cubs have lessened their effective
ness. and the individual animosi,ies
that have been aroused are hurting
the team play OF the champions.
The fact that Zimmerman IL on the
market is not surprise TO those III
the know" Here are the alleged IN
side" facts In the-case and the reason
why good ball player is not wanted
in Chicago:
Just before the Cubs came east on
their first trip IL was announced that
Sheckard's eyesight was nearly
ruined by the explosion OF bottle OF
ammonia in the Chicago clubhouse.
About the same time Zimmerman was
sent TO a hospital. Some excuse was
made for his dropping out OF the game
so suddenly. He was not with the
Cubs at any time on that trip
IL has developed within the last
few days that the injuries TO Sheck4
ard and Zimmerman were not due to
accident but were the result OF free
for.al light in the Chicago clubhouse.
in which Chance played conspicu-
Gus part. According 10 information.
eral sources, Zimmerman and Sheck-
ard had an alteration In the dressing
room after a game. Zimmerman Is a
big husky fellow. and after few hot
words had been passed he went at
Sheckard. During the melee Sheck-
ard threw something at Zimmerman.
Angered by this style OF attack Zim-
norman picked up bottle OF ammo
MIA and hurled II AT Sheckard. The
bottle struck Sheckard low In the
forehead and between the eyes. The
force OF the throw broke the bottle
and the fluid streamed down Sheck
ards face.
Manager Chance, thoroughly enrag
ed by what he assumed was terrible
injury TO Sheckard buckled into Zim-
norman. and the uproar continued
Chance is known from coast 10 coast
for his fighting prowess, but IL Is
claimed that Zimmerman stood his
ground well until Chance called on
other players TO help subdue the fight
ing sub Then, IL is alleged. Zim-
norman was borne TO the floor by
force of superior numbers. and while
he was down he received such a beat
ing from the other players that II was
necessary TO cart him TO the hospital
for repairs Afterward the players
took sides on the matter and the af-
fair created bad feeling all around.
II is said that Johnny Evers was par
ticularly bitter toward Chance for the
way Zimmerman had been handled.
as he (Evers) had recommended the
big fellow to the Chicago club when
Zimmerman was playing in the New
York State league. two years ago.
Both Sheckard and Zimmerman
were out OF the game for two OF
three weeks.
