Zimmerman Does Not
Relish Being Placed
In "Bonehead" Class

Heine Zimmerman, the clouting
third baseman OF the Chicago Cubs,
who led National League batters in
1912 with a percentage Of 1872, does
not relish the criticism of certain
class of baseball writer's who put him
in the "bonehead" class.
That bonehead aspersion and the
insinuation that he would rather play
In New York than in Chicago are al
ways good for rise out of the great

Many Youngsters in Big Clash
Five 1905 Veterans Still Left

have also figured in three post-sea-
son contiiCts-l9O5, 1910 and 1911.
Veering from the veterans to the
tyros, the Giants and Athletics each
possess several young players who
have yet to go through the refining
fire of a worlds series. Some of the
youngsters on each team will in all
probability be pressed into the big
games.
Two young Giants will play a
prominent part in the onrushing Sc
ries. They are George Burns. the
regular left fielder. and AL Demaree,
who is leading the National League
pitchers in his first year as a regular.
Both Burns and Demaree played
last seasons series with the Boston
Red SoX from the bench. Demaree
was ineligible to participate, VIII &c
Burns lacked experience. However
they absorbed a plethora of knowi-
edge, which should aid them materi-
ally when the test comes.
Grover Cleveland Hartley, catcher,
and Jim Thorpe and Claude Cooper,
outfielders, will view the big battle
from the side lines. 1t is hardly like
ly that either will be called upon to
play more than for an inning or two,
when things seem hopelessly lost for
the Giants. McGraw viii not Use
them If the Giants are leading, for
he will tempt no risk.
Fleet Emergency Runners.
Thorpe and Cooper will be the
emergency runners for the 'Ieaden
fleet" when there is a chance of gain
ing anything by the substitution.
Each can speed over the one hundred
yards in close to record time; so II
can be seen how invaluable such
fleet runners are in time of need.
The Athletics also claim a number
of embryo stars who have never be an
in the worlds series except from
the grandstands. The list includes
a catcher, an Outfielder and three
pitchers.
The maskman we have reference 10
is Wally SChang. who is already a
catcher of repute. Schang Is rated
among the best catchers in the big
leagues and he will probably be asked
TO bear the brunt of the catching re-
sponsibiity, although he has been On
big teams less than a year
Shawkey, Bush and Houck are the

TIE demand OF major league
clubs for youth and speed is
memorable. The truth of this
is forcIbly expressed by a cursory eX-
animation of the box scores or the
worlds series of 1905. and the ones
which will be in vogue when the
Giants and Athletics clash in the
worlds series of 1913, a week from
Monday, on which day the opening
imbroglio will be staged at the Polo
Grounds.
But five Of the participants in the
1905 struggle between the Giants and
Athletics are still drawing salary
from the same clubs. Mention of
the names of the survivors of eight
years of major league warfare reveals
the interesting fact that pitchers en-
dure big league service longer than
any other players.
Christy Mathewson and George
Wiltse. of the Giants; Chief Bender,
Eddie Plank and Harry Davis, of the
Athletics, have withstood the raw
ages of time with more resistance
than any of the others who shared in
the spoils of the 1905 tussle.
The first four named are pitchers.
Davis has outlived his usefulness as
a major league first baseman. He is
acting in the capacity of first lieu
tenant to Manager Connie Mack. and
Is being retained solely because of
his knowledge of the intricaCies of
the national frolic.
Thus. with Davis eliminated as an
active player, we have four mound
men who refuse to wither under
Times assault while the two score
or more players in other departments
have departed. Matty, WiltSe. Plank
and Bender were practically new
corners then; they are tried and true
veterans now. And at least three of
them will figure prominently in the
coming clash
Veterans Conserve Energy.
The reason that these four hurlers
have been able to last so long, and
to retain their effectiveness SO long,
is that each is master in the art of
conservation. They have long since
learned the foolhardiness of putting
every ounce Of energy in every pitch
They argue that there are eight other
players in the field to assist them and
to eXtricate them from difficulties
And they pitch accordingly.
Not one of the quartet is ever out
to establish pitching records. They
are in there to keep the enemy from
scoring. irrespective of how often
they are hit safely. Their mastery
over the ball and their baseball acu-
men form a combination that has
tided them over a decade of big
league activity.
Matty and Wiltse have already

A little boy got out of bed wrong one morning and was so hateful all day that his father finally found it necessary to punish him.
 A little while after the ordeal was over his mother found him out back of the barn tenderly caressing and betting an old ram that was pastured there. Her heart was touched by this display of kind heartedness on his part, and she watched him tenderly for some time. Then, walking over to where he sat, she inquired:
 "What makes my little boy so good to the old sheep?"
 He did not stop or look up, but answered, stifling a sob:

PRAYING FOR PREY.
The Mantis Seems to Be Doing That
 While Awaiting Victims.


 Most persons know the praying mantis-that large, greenish, grass hopper-like insect which holds up adoring arms as if venerating some deity of the woods or making an in- vocation-an oracle among insects, as the old Greeks thought it. But these attitudes of prayer conceal the most atrocious habits. These supplicating arms, to fall into Fabre's picturesque phrasing, are lethal weapons. These fingers tell no rosaries, but exist to seize. the passerby. Although a member of a vegetarian family, the mantis feeds exclusively on its living prey. It is a tiger in ambush, and if only it had sufficient strength its ogreish appetite and its horrible facility of concealment by color and form among the green leaves where peaceful insects travel would make it the terror of the countryside.
 At first glance it does not look very terrible. Its neck is flexible, and it can turn its head and look with sharp eyes in all directions, but no formidable jaws alright victim. In its powerful uplifted fore limbs lies the hidden danger, the cruel trap. Each long thigh, shaped like fattened spindle, car ries on the forward half of its lower face a double row of steely spines, alternately long and short, and three needlelike spikes, longest of all, rise behind the parallel rows, between which the fore leg lies when folded in prayer This fore part of the leg is similarly arm ed, but with smaller spikes, and terminates in hook with a blade like a pruning knife and a tip as sharp as a needle. Handle the in- sect incautiously and this armament discovers itself to you instantly, thrusting its needles and blades into your flesh, gripping you ln a stinging wise and forcing you to crush it to get free.
 When the mantis is in repose these weapons are folded and press- ed against the chest, showing noth- ing of their ferocity. The bandits sword is sheathed, and it seems at its devotions. But let victim come within reach and the ruse- if ruse it be-is abandoned like a flash. The three long joints of the deadly fore limbs straighten and shoot out heir talons, which strike the victim like the unsheathed claws of a cat and drag it back between the saws of the thighs. The wise closes with an upward motion, as man would bring his hand up to his shoulder, and no cricket, grass hopper, beetle or spider can strug- gle out of the crook of that terrible elbow.-Harper's Weekly.

TIE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT.
It Was First Discovered by . Daring
 Yankee Sailor In 1921.

sSpNVO S~pSs S's sSS"
 History presents from time to time some curious anomalies, and not the least among these is the story of the original discovery of the great continent surrounding the south pole, says Outing. A grim, inaccessible coast, guarded from mans approach by fields of impossible ice foes and bergs, it resisted all efforts of the ablest of early explorers to win its shores, only to be discovered at last by a boy of eighteen in command of a little forty ton sloop.
 Nathaniel Palmer was the lads name, and he came of the best of old New England seafaring stock. After some preliminary training at sea, young Palmer sailed in 1872 or 1914 as second mate of a bark bound for the sealing grounds of the south Atlantic. After some weeks of fruitless exploration and terrific struggles with the wintry gales of the region about Cape Horn they came at last to the south 1 Shetland islands and soon had fill ed the vessels hold with a fortune in furs.
 This. voyage made such a stir in all the New England seaport towns on their return that before many years a second expedition was fitted out and Palmer, now Captain Nat, was given command of a little down east sloop called the Hero, which was sent along in consort with the larger vessels. This diminutive craft could hardly have been more than sixty feet in length, but she weathered successfully the rigors of wind and sea and arrived in due course at her destination.
 At this time nothing was known of the existence of any land of continental extent within the ant arctic circle-nor did Captain Nat much care whether there was such or not. What he was looking for was seals. So when he came upon a long stretch of coast line facing to the north in the vicinity of the sixtieth meridian west of Green wich he examined the shore for possible rookeries and, finding noth- ing but ice and penguins, sailed away back again to the north'ard. A few days after this the little Hero fell in with two tall ships of the Russian navy under Command CT Bellingshausen. When young Palmer went on board for lunch at the commanders invitation and mentioned casually his discovery of land to the south'ard he must have been surprised, indeed, to learn that that which he in his little sloop had blundered upon unsought and had turned away from in disgust, these mighty ships of the czar of all the Russias had for two years been seeking in vain.
 Commander Bellingshausen, to do him justice, gave young Palmer full credit for his discovery, and this-the first portion of the ant arctic continent to be seen by man -is set down upon the maps today as Palmerland in enduring tribute to the daring of the Yankee sailor lad who first caught sight of it from the deck of little sailboat in the year of grace 1891.
