MORE GERMAN GAS ATROCITIES
-ZIM MAY BE TRADED
BY Mark Shields

Yesterday we unloaded words of
praise for 'Heinie Zimmerman, who
had been playing real baseball for as
much as three days. And then look
what the son-Of-a-gUn went and did.
But he backed US in one thing.
There is no longer any doubt that
Heinie is the grandest "bawl'' player
in the world. Whether he will do his
bawling hereaboUts in the future is
something yet to be determined
Like a ioy-riding auto, Zim ran
wild in the last Brooklyn game and
was reproved by Manager Tinker
when he pulled his headless baserun-
ming. Tinker pUnctuated the re-
proof with a $40 fine. Tim was in
suited to be held so .cheaply and ad-
vised his more or less boss to quit
being a piker. Joe took this we'll
intentioned hint and raised the ante
to $50 Then Tim advised his man
ager to shut up, but during the re-
mainder of the game the high-strung
gents exchanged sprightly repartee,
Zim doing his gassing from the field
and Joe sitting on the bench.
Tinker says that Zimmerman will
never again play ball under his man
agement. President Weeghman says
Tim can't get a dollar of Weeghman
money unless he gets down on his
knees and begs for it. And there
you are.
Tinker's past reputation as a
manager and player stamp him as a
man of his word, and Joe will make
his verdict stick>Or give up his pilots
license. It is not likely to come to
that, for a showdown has now ar
rived and discipline must be en-
forced. Zim has been insurb6rdinate
for some time, it appears, and the
limit has been reached.

norman, took added impetus from
the forensic doings, and rival man

Hank Wants. One

Hank Dewberry one of our most
dilatory citizens has got his heart and
sole set on buyin motersickel and
cant talk about nothink else lately.
Hanks says he calkilates that a mo-
tersicke1 is one of the greatest inven-
shions what has ever been invented for
gettin person from one place to an
other in the soonest possibil time and
that if he can ever serapc up suffshent
funds blamed if he don't invest in one.
Personally we amt got on ambishion
to buy rnotersicke1 and if we had one
wed he. afeared to try to- ride it and
we don't regard ourself as a coward
either. Judging from the few moter-
sickels which we have saw passing
through Binevil1e at the rate of about
100 miles per hour we would Jest as
leef try to ride streek of creased
lightrlin or sky rocket on the 4th of
July or bunch of firecrackers.
But it amt no use to reason with
Hank when he gifts noshion in his
head. The only think that will pervent
him purchasing a motersickel is lack
of funds Hank says he knows where
he can buy a seckond hand motersickel
over to the CO seat for 500 and be-
ing as he ,alreddy has saved up two,
dollars all he lacks is 500.

bari of hard cider from whitch. he re-
freshed hisself from time to time
When Corn woke up three hours
later he founs hisself layin on the damp
dirt floor and calkilates he must of

that as it may CORN as result of
coolin off too quick when he was so

couldn't of wrote eddytoriul if we

On Wensday we made up our
mind that we would write a eddy-

do so or bust either we reed a
