M PAPERS" CUBS FIGHT
ARCHER "SIGNs THEM i

SiStS WITH eShi
Team in Louisville.
Our private bunch went through
on schedule time yesterday aEi
Catcher Jimmy Archer signed a con-
tract for four years with the Cubs.
Archer blew blowing and floating
is the usual form OF locomotion the
last few days. up to Mnrphy's Office
in the Corn Exchange Building, en-
tered by private door, snapped
some gay badinage with the boss
and all was rosy.
After the history confer
ence Murphy said an agreement had
been reached which was mutually
satisfactory" Archer backed up the
Cub owners statement.
Exactly what salary Archer is to-
receive is not known and we refuse
to guess. He wanted $500. Murphy
offered $4,000. From Murphy's smile
it was plain that he did not have to
give up the large bunch of coin and
Archer's smile indicated he had re-
ceived boost over last year. -.
The signing of Archer makes a reg
ular one, two, three team out of the
West Siders. No team in the country
has pair of catchers of the caliber
of Jim and Roger Bresnahan, and
Needham, Cotter and Heckinger are
three able understudies.
1t will be up to Evers to decide
whether Bresnahan or Archer will do
the bulk of the catching. When the
Harp came to the Cubs he told Muir
ply it was his ambition to catch 100
games in 1913 and the magnate
seemed to think well of the plan.
Archer is high-class man, however,
and can do more good on the field
than on the bench.
Whichever man starts the season
will continue in the fray until he
strikes slump, when the alternate
receiver will be pushed into the game.

Cubs Get Rough-Zim Loses Fight
Team Loses Game.

At Nashville yesterday the Cubs
kept up their past record of rowdy
tactics on spring training trips, which
have barred them from exhibition
games at Birmingham and Column
bus, o. ~
Heinie Zimmerman thought well of
himself as white hope and selected
a 125-pound umpire to practice on.
There was only one blow struck and
the ump delivered that. Both the Jump
and Heinie were arrested.
The trouble started in the first in
ming. The Nashville batters hammer
ed the slants of Lou Richie and two
doubles and single by the first three
men gave the Southern leaguers a
pair of runs. Some of the Cubs ac-
cused the Jump of tipping off Dick
Cotter's signals,
-Zim grew especially abusive and
the Jump canned him from the game.
The Bronx slugger thought it was
joke and gave the diminutive ar
bitter the horse laugh. Said Jump then
called copper to put Zim out of the
grounds. A knot of Cubs gathered
at the plate and began to argue. the
question. Zim used some more choice
language and the Jump swung right
to his face. Zim fell into a clinch
and he and the ump turkey-trotted
up the first base line and back again,
neither delivering a blow.
Players pulled the two apart. The
arrests followed. The Cubs had not
lost an exhibition game and were r
peeved at the rude way Richie
was being treated. Apparently they
couldn't loose gracefully and thought
they could get away with some rough
stuff in the bushes.
After hostilities ceased Nashville
proceeded to win the game, to 1,
Richie and Lavender doing the twirl-
ing for the Cubs. Three Nashville
pitchers stopped the Cubs dead until
