end Of the fourth inning. after the Orioles
had made eight hits and seven runs or

GENEVA, June 20, 1912.
A Swiss residing at Siantar, in the Is
land Of Sumatra has written home an
account of the capture and transporta-
ton Of young wild elephant in a motor
car by a resident OF the town. The ele-
plant. which was well roped, was driven
to the nearest path in the forest, and
with great difficulty the motor car ar
rived at the spot. a kind Of platform re-
placing the body Of the vehicle The
elephant was induced to mount the plat
form and was then strongly secured
to it.
The trip to Siantar started, but diff
culties at once arose. because the ele-
plant. whose trunk was free, used his
proboscis to examine in turn the chauf-
feur. the seats In front, the machinery
and finally the guiding wheel. his last
maneuver nearly upsetting the car. which
was brought to q stop, as the journey
was becoming dangerous. The elephant s
trunk was then strapped to his body,
and the car arrived at Siantar without
further incident.
This 10 probably the first time that q
wild elephant has had a ride in a motor
car.

up at 500 month. Zimmerman went out
to the minors as a pitcher. but as pitch
err he was frst-class plumber. There
wasn't much class to him. any way
Robinson looked at him. But Robby liked
big men. and that saved Heinies bacon.
The youngster was always ready to listen
and willing to learn.
They put him up in a pinch one day and
Zimmerman fairly knocked the ball out
Of the cover The farther he went the
better he looked as a pinch hitter. He
pinched so often and SO scientifically that
Robinson decided he needed his big bat
In the works every day. So Heinie was
converted into an infelder. They tried
him at first, second, short and third. He
looked best at second, and that position
he played when Evers uncovered him.
Heinie was playing with Wilkesbarre
against Troy one Sunday when the little
was at his best. and won the game by his
great fielding and terrific hitting. On
Evers' recommendation Frank Chance i'm
mediately purchased the Bronx lad for
the sum of 5000.
Zimmerman went to the Cubs at a time
when it was mighty hard for him to get
thorough trial. The old marvellous ag-
gregation that had won three pennants
and two worlds championships in a row
was still intact. There was as much
chance of anybody breaking in as there
is for cripple to break Sing Sing. Be-
sides. Jimmy got in rather bad in the
worlds series OF 1910 That's the year
the Athletics made the Cubs look like a
bunch OF selling platers. Zimmerman
was assigned to second base, because
Evers was out with q broken leg. There
has been just one Johnny Ewers, and
when Zimmerman booted a few It was all
off,
Chance had his nerve to keep Heinie
after the panning he got. But he stuck
to him, and now comes his reward. May
be Zimmerman never would have found
his proper sphere but for the unfortunate
death Of little Jimmy Doyle Chance had
no one else for third. That was the bag
for which Heinie was made to order. AS
soon as he got confidence in himself this
spring he began to show the game of his
life He's a good third baseman-one OF
the best the Cubs ever had. Doubly good,
because he's such q slugger.
Zimmerman. single-handed, has made q
championship possibility out Of q club
that every one figured q sure second d.
vision disappointment. He has added just
the necessary hitting and fielding strength
to Offset the handicap caused by Frank
Chances absence from the game. His
presence has given q now lease of life to
Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers. That Cub
infield has much of the pep and dash OF
the old array. II Chance only had some
pitchers he would make things interest
ing for the champions even yet.

Beginning Wednesday, the Athletics
play six games with Boston in what is
undoubtedly the most crucial series OF
the season. AS Boston has won six OF
the ten games that have been played be-
tween the teams, the chances look none
too bright for Mack's men, and should
they fail to hold their own with the Red
Sox in this series the chances Of the
champions to repeat will receive a serious
setback. It is easily figured what the
effect would be should Boston win a ma
jority Of those games. Not only would
1t give that team a decidedly comfortable
lead, but the moral effect of such VIC

Notwithstanding the fact that the
champions have made clean sweep
Of the series here to date. the team has
had to fully extend itself to land the
three games and has been benefited by
having the breaks Of luck in its favor.

that Crandall had lost the game. and
since it was won while he was per-

In due affiiction the husband repaired
thither, and on the mortuary slab certainly
recognised the body Of Mime. Thomas. All
his friends rallied round him and subscribed
for q wreath, and the next day the mar

went into the usual mourning.
