Maybe Zimmerman never would have

Remarkable Story of A Baseball Find

New York, n. Y, June 29.-New York
has Johnny Evers to thank for an af-
Fiction Of the Giants. One of the Tro-
JAMS pet curses has developed only
this year-Heine Zimmerman, of the
Bronx.
Evers is responsible for him. Evers
developed. discovered, prOpagated and
otherwise groomed him into a holy ter
ror And the big Giant Of the Bronx
is likely TO show his appreciation by
divers home runs off such redoubtable
performers as ~Rube" Marquard and
Christy MatheWson before this pres
ent season rolls into Oblivion. Tim
norman has just found himself III the
big show for the first time this season.
He looked like a million dollars to
Gotham fandom on his recent 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 have
telling what he might not have &C
com3lished had he not taken the count
from a verbal tilt with umpire Finner-
an Heine got the gate for three days
and couldn't play any more against
the champions.
In many respects Zimmerman is
real marvel OF the year. Scarcely
day goes by that he does not belt out
a few triplets and doubles and he has
more home runs to his credit than any.
