At present Zimmerman is ~participat-
ing in a benefit series for a sick mem
Der of the Atlanta team.
The Grays are here again today and
wind up tomorrow, the Tiger victory
yesterday cinching seventh place for
them, and the Grays cannot now posi-
BILE climb out of the cellar even though
they win all OF their remaining games
and the Tigers lose every contest on

Six full games separate the Tigers
and the Grays, and the Bengals are
almost as far behind tho Skeeters, so

It is a clnoh there would have been
a wider margin IL the Tigers had the
same team all season. The Tigers are
out to make 1t n whirlwind finish, and

sheehan looks like a pretty nifty
hitter. Witness his double and single
yesterday.
Lee had Perry's goat and the big fell
low gave vent to his pent-up wrath in
sulphuric language on two or three oe-
easions. Notably when Kelly robbed
him of a sure hit by a clever catch.
This ElSton boy IS a pretty nifty nit
ter, and his catch of Kelly's foul in
right was not so bad.
