HARVARD DELCINES
 TO COMPETE ABROAD
Yale'S Proposal for Track Meet in
 England FrOWned on

Cambridge. Mass. Jan. 15.-The Harvard athletic committee ycster- day announced the report of the spe- cial Gradua track committee which. after long consiG Gcrntion of the project has decided that it will be inadvis- able this year for Harvard to combine track teams with Yale 10 go to Eng land for games with Oxford and Cam bridge.
 Chairman Garcelou of the commit tee announced that the board belicv- cd that the English universities should send a joint team to this coun- try before the Americans cross the water again.
 The athletic committee also dccid- ed that Harvard is not yet ready for intercollegiate competition in boxing.
 "BoXinS," the report reads. "should be encouraged at Harvard and the committee approves of it, but the college is not yet ready to think of having a varsity boxing team"
 Tho committee has placed squash rackcts on the regular minor sports list and 9 schedule of outside matches probably will be arranged.
 Several minor schedules were an nOunced, the most important being that of swimming team, which has ten matches. The Crimson swimmers will compete against the City College of New York oil March ,, and will hold their annual meet with Yale at New Haven on March IT., three days, before the intercollegiate meet in the Yale natatorium.
 Owing to the resignation of Track Manager Julian Bolton, the appoint ment of the cross country manager, J. r. keene, Jr., as assistant track Was made by r.. W. Moore. Richard Higgins. who managed the trip of the Harvard varsity eleven to Pasa dena, was officially appointed sistant manage of next seasons team.

PIRATES ARE AFTER
 HEINlE ZIMMERMAN
Manager Gibson Anxious to Land
 Giants Infelder for His Team

New York, Jan. 10.--He einic Zin- nierman, idol of the Bronx, is headed for Pittsburgh and indications are that the veteran will end his career as third baseman for the Pirates. One 'of George Gibson's first moves after be- ing appointed manager of the Pirates was to request Barney Dreyfuss. presi- dent of the Pittsburgh club, to put in Q bid for Zimm.
 Gibson and Zinlm erman were room mates while the catcher was d member of the Giants, and George says he has little doubt of his ability to handle the BronXonian. He also thinks that Heinie will work his head off for him. Dreyfuss has sent feelers to the New York club on Zimmerman. He would like to purchase Heinie outright. However it is believed that the Giant management will hold out for play CTS.
 Zimmerman has ceased to be much Of a trading asset, as he. will be 34 years old next month and began to show signs of slipping the fast two seasons. He no longer is the depend able 300 hitter of yore. and hit only .255 last season. His hitting was time ly, as he ranked next to Kauff among the Giants in driving in runs.
 Gibson wants Zimmerman to bolster up his weak spot at third base. Afte3' Boscl<el was released to Boston last season Barbare played the bag with indifferent success.
 Through ats a Giant.
 It is taken as a foregono conclusion that Zimmerman will not be back with tho Giants When Zimmerman was sent hcme from the last western trip of tho Giants last September and was SIISIlaO6e6 infpfiniteIN brP:3 < <in.r training rules, there came a hint from NIcGraw that Heinie had played his last game i:l a Giant uniform. The relations between Hcinie and his team mates were further embittered when the Giants voted last fall to keep Zim- Elerman out of participation in second place worlds series money.
 Zimmerman will likely he the Heter- an National league player in years of service next season. Sherwood Magee. who came into the league in 1904, re- ceived his unconditional release from the Reds last week. heon Ames, who came into the league in 1908, was re- turned recently by the Philadelphia club to the St. Louis Nationals and it is understood that Hickey will not re- engage him. Next to this pair Zimm and Doyle are the National league vet erans. Both came into the league in 1907, Heinie with the Cubs and Larry with the Giants. Oddly enough Me Graw gave up Doyle to bring Thinner man to New York in 1916, but regain ed Larry ill a later deal. ,
 Hal Chase, who played first base for the Giants last season, has been playing big league ball since 1903, but the best part of his career was spent l in the American league. If Ames ac- tually retires it will make Chase the real big league veteran. Next to , Chase for seniority honors comes Ty Cobb, who joined the Tigers in 1905.
