to George, and George refused to

pronunciations himself. This inclina-
tion was one of the things that he had
acquired In the four years.
What else he had acquired, 1t might
have puzzled him to state. had any
body asked him and required a direct
reply within reasonable space OF
time. He had learned how to pass ex-
aminations by 'cramming;" that is. in
three or four days and nights he could
get into his head enough of selected

raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning
that she should have understood with

him to do what the doctors wanted
him to, wasn't able to back up Broth

She did not keep him anywhere that

George that they were leaving fol

predicted that 1919 would find some
body else filling the shoes of the great
Zim at third base for the Giants.
New York scribes led the gang who
expertly pointed out that the great
one was on the skids; that his legs
were growing stiff and his throwing
arm turning to glass. Then they start
ed picking out a soft spot for Heinie
10 light. Some chose first base for him,
and the ones who were less hopeful
relegated him to right field, just as
though John McGraw would think for
half a second of displacing a crack
young player like Ross Young.
Heinie kept his pace through all
the long winter of 1918-19, alternating
in the Bronx and saying nothing. But
when the time rolled around for con-
tracts to be signed Tim visited the
offices of the Giants, accepted terms
without a whimper, and calmly told
McGraw that if he had ordered a new
third baseman he'd better cancel the
order.
When the Giants entrained for
Gainesville to start spring training

dence. He got into a uniform and
started saving wood in his own way
taking his time and working hard to
get into shape. Eight hours work a

most of the veterans, Zim rounds into
shape slowly, and, like most athletes
of an aggressive nature who have a
touch or two of temperament, Tim
didn't give tinker's rap what any
body thought about it. "Lettem try
displacing me at third base and there'll
be funeral for somebody" was the
way Zim looked at 1t.

Carmen Hill, bespectacled hurler of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, like Lee Mead

for the Cards, finds the glasses are no
handicap whatever. incidentally Car
men promises to be one of the best
young right-handers in the National
league and Hugo Bezdek the Pirate
chief is nursing him with infinite care
in the hope He will be able to take his
regular turn on the mound later in the
race. Hill and Meadows are the only
two players in the majors today who
wear glasses while pastiming. Both
have worn them since boyhood, having
weak eyes, but neither has ever been
handicapped by the specs when field
ing hard-hit balls. .--- 90
