AsLETTER m VERSE
Johnnie Styles Tells How Work
Caught Him unawares During
His Holiday Vacation.

During the holiday season the night
baggage man at the Willmar depot
was taken i'll, and the agent called
upon John Styles, Jr., to fill the va
cancy for a few days. Johnnie was
then spending his vacation at home
from college. While on duty at the
depot and sitting alone one night
he wrote the following letter to his
friend Emery Parnell, who was Wis
iting in the southern part of the
state. This is not the first time that
Styles has broken into verse as the
publications of the Manchester stu
dents bear witness. Thru the good
Offices of Agent Parnell, who has been
reading the versified letter written to
his son to the railroad boys around
the depot, the Willmar Tribune is
enabled to print the below:
Dea Emery
am sitting alone in the depot,
Or rather. the baggage room here.
With the silence of midnight about me,
And far from my homes kindly cheer.
I'm writing this dear, just to tell you
That work has again got me fast,
And instead OF me having vacation,
It's gone. and q thing of the past.
The baggage-man sudden turned sickly
And relief from his duties was sought
So OF course, as happened to be here,
MY services had to be bought
thought. when I left from the city,
A quiet vacation I'D spend,
But alasl Cruel Fate up and got me
And put all.my dreams at an end.
Still, have to console me, the knowledge,
That my pocketbook will be re-stocked,
And that when get back I'll have money
To use, and won't have to be docked
In respect to my innocent pastimes
Whose pleasure I'd have to forego.
Were it not for this chance occupation,
So with zest Ill yell out, Let her go!'
Now, I see No. at the coalshed,
So III have to bring this to an end,
Don't forget that on next Tuesday evening
A few pleasant moments We will spend.
Goodbye for the present. I'll leave you.
With wishes to AL that are there,
For the best luck in all that you try Tor,
In this coming and welcome New Year
YET amid all your happiness, larry,
Give way to remembering smiles
AS you read this, and try to think kindly
or your old pal and sidekicker, Styles.

HEINE ZIMMERMAN IS A NATURAL SLUGGER
BY w. j. McBeth.

I I took Heine Zimmerman. the
cubs star intielder, who last
season led the National league in
batting and slugging, four years to
make good in the big show. 1t was
not until the past year that the
New York city native established
. himself firmly on a pedestal of
fame. for as late as last spring
Charley Murphy was thinking Sc
riouoly Of trading him because
Heine, having broken into the
charmed circle Of 800 swatters, had
the temerlty to request his boss
for an increase in pay. His work
since, though. has shown beyond q
doubt that he has improved Won
derfully and is naturally more val
liable to his club than in former
years.
The success OF this player is i'll
no small measure due to Frank
Chance. under whom he made his
debut in the major leagues, and
who recognized his ability before he
had been with the team more than
a season. Chance, after sizing up
the youngster and taking notice of
his faults and virtues, believed that
Zimmerman would be a star of the
first water as soon as he could
learn 10 give his entire attention to
the game.
There was no doubt that he pos
sessed the ability. What he lacked
was discipline, and the Peerless
Leader set about to teach him the
advantages of sticking to the
straight ana narrow path,
Chance Is noted as a strict dis
ciplinariau. He had to he all of
this to keep the youngster from
kicking over the traces, and more
than once Heinie threatened 20
poll his career by breaking the
rules set down by the Cub leader.

From earning 50 in Sunday games
Heine drifted into the professional
ranks in 1906. His first engage

club of the Trl- State league He
played second base with the Coal
Barons and was with them two
seasons. He finished his second
season in the Tri- State circuit with
Il batting average OF .314. and was
bought by the Cubs in the fall {
1907.
For three years Zimmerman
spent the greater part Of his time
warming the cub bench. in the role
Of utility inhelder, and listening to
sermons by the Peerless Leader on
discipline of bail players.

Ter clip
There are three of these new
leaders who will have their f1rst
experience as managers. George
Stallings is the only one OF the
quartet who has fought diamond
battles from the bench, and he will
take charge of the Pilgrims with an
established reputation as wise
leader and also as a man of great
business success in conducting
baseball affairs.
Four Managers of Glass.
In fact, the class of all the four
new men selected to head their
respective teams is very high and
warrants the belief that every club
that is under new management will
be greatly improved in every point
that goes to make a winning ag-
gregation.
Too much should not be expected
Of them in the first year of their
new duties. They will be opposed
by McGraw, Clarke, Doom and

than have yet materiaized
News From Stallings.
Manager Stallings has something
UP his sleeve, and he always works
quietly. He will have the Boston
Pilgrims very much talked about
when the time comes, as ne thinks,
to spring the news Stallings, too,
will have a free rein to direct the
teams affairs, President Jim Calf
ney having assured the new man

lutely necessary authority.
Charley Doom has been some
what tied up by reason of the Phil
adelphia clubs troubles, but the
Phillies were always dangerous,
and will be again next year.
Miller Higgins is one Of the
shrewdest little fellows who ever
played baseball This will be his
tirst opportunity to show what he
can do as manager, but he can be
depended on to present a team on
Robson field in St Louis next
spring that will give a good ac-
count of itself. This will be Hug
gins great opportunity, and he
ought to make good.
