Jimmy" Clinton poled out one of the longest hits of the season, when he dropped the spheroid in the potato patch for three sacks in the eighth in- ming, only the fast fielding of O'Brien preventing a home run. Schneider in centertield for the losers put up a fine game, while Connolly's batting was also bright feature.

Zimmerman had the repu- tation of being one of the most hot headed and high tempered players in the big leagues, and few thought he
