BILLY ZIMMERMAN, A LOCAL PRODUCT
THOUGH BORN AT BINCEN-ON The RHINE

The State of Virginia was for a long
time called the mother 81 n Pres.
dents" until Ohio butted in and
usurped the soubriQuet. Now the
Buckeye State may a,so boast the title
of mother of the baseball stars"
on last years Newark team there
We're four players who hailed from
Ohio. They are Agler, Bailey, G. Smith
and Shontz. The Tigers were not the
only team which had in it's ranks play
ers from the State governed by Har-
mona team without an Ohioan in any
league within the length and breadth
of the country is a rare exception.
There is a very good reason why
Ohio should produce many baseball
stars world-famed today. and this one
big reason is that Ohio is a great
farming State, and the farmer boy is
always healthy and hardy-more
ada pied to the rough outdoor life than
"A city-bred youngster. There are
other States which are ranked equally
high in farm produce, but baseball
seems to thrive more on the fertile soil
of the Buckeye State.
Perhaps, too. it Is the number of small
villages which Ohio boasts. Rivalry
especially in Observation-Disclosures these
class g league towns is always intense.
and the boys rear baseball from the
day they first open thelr eyes until the
black wagon stands in front of their
door and it's sad music and dim lights.
City-Bred Roy Educated.
A city-bred boy usually has a fair
education and goes into a business
office after graduation from a grammar
or high school, as the case may be, with
the intention and the ambition to work
himself up and learn the business thor
oughly.
If he is "A clever baseball player he
may receive offers from minor league
managers. But s25 a week and eX-
penses for twelve weeks in the sum
mer is not very, alluring TO him when
he realizes that it will be- a handicap
to his ambitions in the business world.
Doubtless, If he could start as a class A
Lacquer he would jump at the oppor-
tunity, but as a rule he passes up any
such offer, unless he is a real en-
thusiast.
With the farmer boy it is just oppo-
site. A weekly stipend of $25 and ex-
penses looks liks a fortune to him, ana
the opportunity to travel, the short
hours and the added attraction of a
chance to become famous, make him
jump at any opportunity thai comes
his way. That is why you will find
many more farmer boys in the base
ball leagues han city boys.

he got a chance in the Lackawanna
League with the Orange-Clifton team,
then managed by Billy Hagenbruck.
For a year he played great ball With
the Orange-Cliftons at third base, and
then he signed with Irvington for the
following season.
sutton ON His Trail.
Jimmy was recommended to Larry
Sutton, who was managing the Easton
team of the Atlantic League in 1905,
and Zimmerman and Dots Miller re
ported to Manager sutton at Easton.
Larry shifted zimmerman to the out
field and Billy helped Larry to win the
p%ennant, the work OF the two loca
boys. Miller and Zimmerman, standing
paramount over all others.
sutton got Zimmerman a job with the
Jersey City club in the fall of 1908, but
he was never given a real trial and
was shipped to Lynn the following
season. There he again showed his
wonderful knack of stealing bases, and
he was recalled by Jersey city but
turned back again without a chance to
make good. That was in 1910, and he
vas shipped to Utica. There he made
good with a jump, batting around 800
and setting Il minor league record by
stealing 105 bases.
Newark and Atlanta drafted him last
year, but Atlanta won the draw for
him. Joe McGinnity had his eye on
zimmerman, and by some clever
n~laneuVering managed to obtain Billy
from Atlanta through the Cubs.
Billy is glad to get away from the
south, where the heat Is a handicap to
most players. He only stole thirty
five bases with Atlanta, but hat was
to be expected. Billy goes into the
bag like a ram-he can get away like
a streak and travel as rapidly as the
wind. getting a jump on the pitcher
every time. He will cause more than
one International League catcher wor-
riment when he beguis IL c.u .o5.5a

often, too. AS his go aYerago Of last
year under adverse conditions proves.

scheduled TO he one of the most popu-
lar members of the Newark Club next
season. Strictly speaking Jimmy is
not a homemade product for he was
born in Bingen-on-the-Rhine, which is
in the land of the Kaiser. but Billy did
not stay over there long enough to
acquire an accent and he speaks Uncle
Sans language as fiuently as an elo-
c%utionist with a string of college de-
grees attached to his signature.
Billy came over to the United States
when he was 4 years old and settled IN
the wilds of Down Neck with his
parents. Billy has lived In the Down
Neck section and been the pride of
the "Ironbound" district ever since. He
started to toss the horsehide when he
was 6 years old. At the age Of II he
was ready for a big league career. but
truant officers and school rules kept
Bily from following his fayorite voca-
ton. Billy also modestly admits now
that he was not quite up to big league
standard at the time.
AT Abe age of is Billy began to get
headlines in local papers for his fence
