 Zimmerman Is more or less a child of fortune like .he great majority of the best pastimers. He is one of the few great lights of the profession who de- vcloped 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" lie was con sidered some pitcher by the kids of public school No. 61.
 "Zimmy" also went to Fordham for a spell. But he didn't take full college course His performance as a school boy had attracted the attention of the semi-pro and independent promoters They paid him from BIO to $20 a week for Saturdays and Sundays and these pick ups came in mighty handy to the big family of fourteen. Heine was taken out of college at a tender age be- cause he was a big raw-boned youth and pprenticed to a plumber He drew s2 a day with occasional extras. With the week lend graft he began to con slider himself an embryo bloated capi- talst.

Zimmerman's promise. He came to New York one Sunday. looked Heine over and signed him up at s10o a month. Zimmerman went out to the miners as a pitcher, but as a pitcher he was a first-class plumber. There wasn't much class to him any way Robinson look ed at him. But Robby liked big men and that saved Heine's bacon. The young ster was always ready to listen and willing to learn.
 Tfey put him up in a pinch one day and Zimmerman fairly knocked the ball the better he looked as a pinch hitter ly that Robinson decided he needed his big bat in the works every day So Heine was converted into an infielder, They tried him al first. second, short and third. He looked best at second and that position he played when Evers uncovered him.
 Evers Recommends Him
 Heine was playing with Wilkesbarre against Troy one Sunday when the little Trojan had gone home on visit. He was at his best and won the game by his great fielding and terrific hitting, On Evers' recommendation Frank Chance immediately purchased the Bronx lad for the sum of s2000
 Zimmerman went to the Cubs at a time when 1t was mighty hard for him to get thorough trial. The old mar vellous aggregation that had won three pennants and two worlds champion ships in row was still intact. There was as much chance of anybody break

HEINZ ZIMMERMAN, OF TfE CUBS, HAS SECURED
 EVEN MORE EXTRA BASE HITS THAN SINGLES

New York. June 2s-New York has Johnny EYers to, thank for an afflic- tion 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, propagated and otherwise groomed him into holy ter TOT. 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 present season rolls into oblivion.
 Zimmerman has just found himself in tho big show for the first time this season. He looked like a million dollars to Gatham 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 laced another over the wall. No telling what he might not have accomplished had he not taken the count from verbal tilt with Umpire Tinneran. Heine got the gate for three days and couldn't play any more against the champions.
 Heine Takes Full Swing
 In many respects Zimmerman is a real marvel of the year. Scarcely day goes by that he does not belt out few triplets, 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 predominated ten years ago. He used a big, long

One OF the interesting developments
OF the week was the announcement
that Postmaster General Hitchcock had
decided to recommend the acquiring
OF the telegraph lines by the govern
ment and of operating them in con-
junction with the post Offices. Govern
ment ownership OF telegraph lines is
not a new doctrine. II has been
preached for a number of years and the
current in It's favor is growing strong
Ell with each passing year, 40 that 1t is
safe TO predict that the time is not 80
very far distant when these necessary
arteries of communication will be
government owned Every person not
interested IL the dividends paid by
these corporations or basking in the
sunshine of a telegraph corporation job
must favor tho plan OF government OPP
Grated telegraphs. No n would adj
vocate a privately owned post Office.
although IL il safe to say that IL the
postal service of the country was In the
hands of private individuals today
there would be just as much commo-
ton at the suggestion Of the govern
ment acquiring IL as there is at the
government acquiring the telegraph
lines One OF the greatest agencies. II
not the greatest agency. in the world's
development of the 10Th century was
the perfection of n mail system of in
~tercourse. The telegraph in these DAYS
of the Goth century Is about IN neces-
sary an agency as was the post service
100 years ago. DESIGNATING the knotty
problem Of a fair basis upon which &c
acquire the telegraph lines, the addi'
ton OF this service TO the postal servic,
would be comparatively easy and witt
the post Office is where the telegraph

credits the scheme TO the u. s. Steel

upon Mr.. Perkins Of the firm OF j. p.

moving spirits in the Steel corporation
are angry at the President for starting
