BILLY ZIMMERMAN is THE
SECOND TIGER TO SIGN


Bill had to use his ingenuity to
escape the gang and at the same time
get up to the four corners in time to
get his bundle of afternoon papers
to deliver. Bill claims he holds all
records for he often travelled from
the school to the four corners in
eight minutes. This early training
helped Bill immensely in his future
vocation and he has never regretted
the fact that he had enemies who
are now his best friends
Zimmerman will play left field as
usual next season, and will be a
regular all year. according to Presi-
dent George L. Solomon. There were
rumors that offers had been made
for Zimmerman services by big
league clubs. but Solomon says his
statement is positive and that the
Cubs nor any other club has a
chance of taking Zimmerman or any
other Tiger. 1t would be unfair to
Manager Smith to deprive him of his
best men and then expect him TO
produce a winner.
Contracts have been sent out to all
of the Tiger players, and little trouble
is expected by President Solomon in
signing up the men
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-12-28

The second Tiger to come into the
fold for the season of 1912 was none
other than our esteemed and re-
spected fellow citizen William Zim-
norman, the 'Ironbound Mercury"
The p. o. N attached his signature
to a contract which called for an
increase over last seasons stipend
and expressed himself as being salts
fed with the arrangement. Bill is
beginning to get the ''spring" fever
now and is anxious to go to work
again, hammering out base wallops
or burning up the boulevards.
Bill tells a funny story about how
he acquired his speed which has
proven so valuable to him as base
runner. The p. o. N. was the mem
ber of one of two rival gangs down
in the "Ironbound'' section While
Bill was with his bunch he was well
protected, but it happened that Bill
was the only member of his .asso-
citation" who went to the South Mar
ket Street School Every day after
school the rival bunch would lay
for Bill to wallop him with bricks or
snowballs, according TO the season
of the year.

GUNBOAT SMITH
FAILS TO SHOW
FLASH OF FORM

san FRANCISCO. Dec. 2s.-In
winning a decision over Frank
Moran. of Pittsburgh, at the end of
twenty rounds here late last night,
Gunboat Smith, the local heavy
weight. had easily the better
OF every round, but failed to
show anything like championship
form. Aiorans work was 80 poor
that he was hooted at continually
during the fight. and left the ring
in a volley of Misses and catcalls
from the crowd.
Moran went into the ring weighing
twenty pounds more than Smith, who
stripped at 1S6. After some fast
firing in the first round Smith
whipped over a right cross which
caught the Pittsburgh man flush on
the jaw and brought him TO his
knees. The bell saved him during
another fierce onslaught. Both men
fell out of the ring in the fifth. and
in the sixth Moran seemed so badly
frightened as Smith rushed him that
he appeared TO be looking for a place
to which to escape from the ring.
Throughout the contest the sailor
rsed a straight. hard left to the face.
punctuating the series with an oc-
casional right hard swing TO the
head or jaw He used both hands in
uTpereuttins successfully.
