TIGER TH|RD-SACKER.
SEEKS HIS RELEASE.
E. Zimmerman Believes Local
Fans Have Tired of
Him.
WOULD LIKE A CHANGE

What International League man.
ager is looking for a first-class third
sacker, one of the headiest infielders
in the minor leagues, a crackerjack
fielder. and, well, for other qualif1ca-
lions, see Spalding's or Reachs
guides and run down the list until
you come to the name of E. thinner
man, Newark. Eddie believes that
the local fans have grown tired Of
him and he also thinks that 1t would
be beneficial for him to play with
another club. He feels that he needs
a change, and, having played here
four years, Eddie knows that 1t
would be good move If he were
able to get away from the Newark
Club.
Zimmerman will likely have a con-,
ference with Harry Smith and the
Newark Club officials before leaving
for his home, York, Pa There is no
doubt that several International
League clubs would willingly bid for
Eddie's services. John Camel likes
Zimmerman and so does Jack Dunn.
In addition, the Buffalo Club could
use a third sacker of Eddie's class,
and he would lend a steadiness to
the Bisons' inner works, which the
Buffalo inffeld has lacked for some
time.
Eddie has shown good qualities as
captain of the Tigers in the past and
some day may make a good man
ager.
Those who are on the inside and
10 a
nier, who has been drafted by
Brooklyn, is not likely to be seen in
Newark livery next season. That
means that the Tigers will need an
other infielder. Perhaps, Move, the
young shortstop drafted by Brooklyn
from the New York State League,
may be the man. Move played
against Philadelphia yesterday in the
second game and while he did not
make a hit he fielded cleverly.
Critics say he Is a conner. Enos
kirkpatrick has long been anxious
to come back to Newark or else get
with a big league club on which he
can play regularly. Local fans would
be glad to see Kirkpatrick back on
the job and it may come about if
Eddie Zimmerman is sold or traded.
Kirkpatrick could fill in his old job

Newark fans who saw young jim
my Shaw work Sunday against the
Tigers believe that the kid pitcher is
going to be future major league
player. Read what a Washington
scribe says about him:
"Jim Shaw's performance at New
ark yesterday. when he struck out
fourteen men. bears out Manager
Griffith's prediction that Shaw will
develop into a great pitcher. Griffith
is on record as saying that in all his
experience in baseball, covering a Pc
riod of over twenty-five years, he
has never seen young pitcher of
Shaw's ability break into fast COM
pany. Next to Walter johnson there
is no pitcher on the local staff who
has as much stuff as Shaw. He has
marvellous speed and curve ball
which breaks so quickly that it is
hard for catcher to follow 1t. Shaw
is not twenty years old He will reach
that mark this winter, yet he is
husky lad and still growing.
'If nothing happens Shaw he ought
to prove a great running mate for
Johnson next season.
SHAW, like all the young pitchers,
will remain here when the season is
over and receive a course of inStrue-
don from Manager Griffith and Coach
Ryan. Griffith's scheme is to take
the rough edges off of his young
twirlers this fall, so that they will
be ready for work in the spring. Just
how long the youngsters will be held
here depends entirely on the weather.
but so long as 1t is possible to work
outdoors they will be kept at work
here"
