.TWO JIG FIGHTS ON FOURTH light and Heavyweight Champion ships to Be Decided That Day. WOLGAST AND BJVEES TO MEET Flyna Admirer Bank on Deteriora tloa , of Johasoa aad Rivers' Friends Take Wolgast's Ope ratloa la Consideration. BY W. W, SAIGHTO.V. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The com :ng fourth of July will see two world's championship pugilistic events. One will be for the heavyweight championship of the world. The scene of strife will be Las Vegas, N. M. and the principals will be Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn. The other affair will take place at Vernon, outside of Los Angeles. It will 1 be for the lightweight championship and will be between Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers. ' ' ' Candidly, neither of thes events Is attracting the attention that usually tit t aches to world's championship disputes and on does not have to look far for the ' lesson. In neither Instance Is the con test regarded as a tilt between a pair of evenly matched men. The suspicion that Jack Johnson may have slowed up during a couple of years of inactivity and high living is the one peg on which the admirers of Jim Flynn hang their hopes. The thought that an operation for appendicitis may liave robbed Wolgast of bis snap sand speed is the one thing that makes Rivers' chances of success appear "the least bit rosy. It Is easy enough to verify this view of things. If Wolgast had not been taken down with appendicitis , and forced to lay off several months, Rivers' chances In a match with the champion would be considered so small that the Idea of the men signing would have been gener ally ridiculed; probably the old light weights would have risen on their hind legs and joined In . the one concerted roar of protests, for Rivera was knocked out by Featherweight Johnny Kilbane not so very long ago. Moreover this meeting with Wolgast will signalise Rivers' entry Into the lightweight dlv lslon, and to have a green lightweight striving for the world's championship the first time out does not seem by any means to be in accordance with the eternal fitness of things. Fears Held tor Wolsaat. But Wolgast was under the knife and tha suspicion existed that Wolgast as a champion had passed away. To put the tttfftg, to-vthe test it was necessary for someone ti be aent against Wolgast it mattered little who and Rivers was the handiest v ' The men who consider themselves best fitted for a crack at Wolgast tO' wit, Packey McFarland, Freddie Welsh and maybe Knockout Brown; would have objected strongly to this Wolgast- Rivers affair If there had been no ap pendicitis but aa matters stand all Ada most formidable rivals are view ing things complacently. ; They regard the match as a teat caae, If Wolgast shows he la the Wolgast of old, he will be more harried and chal lenged In the next few months than ha lias been during all the years he has hold the title. ' Meanwhile down In Loa Angelea they think 10 well of Rivera that they art willing to accept odds of 10 to 7 against the Mexican boy and It Is the popular belief that even money wagering will be the rule before the lightweight! enter the ring. This means that while a re verse for Wolgast might appear some thing sensational away from Los Ange les, the sports of tha southern town art speculating largely on such a possibility. . A Sunday or two ago, in discussing the FJyn-Johnson outlook, I took occasion to re.hr to the fact that there was hot a great deal of difference in the men's ages, tbo 'record books showing that Johnson waa 34 while Flynn had passed his thirty-second birthday. The publica tion of the articles brought me a note of protest from one who Is certainly In a position to Acquire Inside Information on such matters. How Morn Has Job nana Aftedf , Said the note: "For your own guid ance I want to tell you that the record txxik doea not state facts. Johnson is fully 31 years old, while Flynn la only 30." If this Is so, Flynn'a chances are so trot what better than I figured. But whether Johnson la 81 or 36, the question in a nutshell Is, "How much has Johnson aged during the last two years?" If the negro la still In the heyday of his fighting forcetf he is as good. a when he boxed Jeffries It seems to me it la not possible for Flynn to have Im proved enough to relieve the colored man of the championship. But If Indulgence and excessea , have left their mark on Johnson to an appreciable extent, ho la likely to encounter a full-alaed mountain of trouble. Flynn, all reports to the contrary, is trained to the proper notch an4 is brim mlng over with pluck and confidence. If ha goes down he will go down fighting, as he did before. Aa to calling the winner, I think iny one would be foolhardy to attempt. It. Everything depends on the changes that have taken place In Johnson If any have taken place during his lay-off. . I know an old colored man back here In San Francisco he Is an ardent admirer of Johnson and thla la his philosophy: "Johnson 4s like a mighty hunter. He Is sitting on a mountain trail with hla Winchester across the hollow of hta arm a:id the magaalne Is full of, cartridges. There Is bear coming vp the track. Well, air, It looka bad for that bear. But If a cartridge catches In the breech ar.d the rifle won't work-then It looka bad for Johnson."- r .; As near as I can figure, the old man means that If Johnson's fighting gear s jot In as good order aa It was two yeart ago Flynn may prove a bear. Heine Zimmerman, Child of the Bronx REFRESHING BOXERS WITH TOWELS IS TO BE STOPPED NEW YORK. June S.-Refreahing a boxer by flapping a towel, ' a method that has long been associated with globe bouts, will soon be a thing of the past In this city If Commissioner O'Nell puts through a rule he la contemplating. While attending a bout the other night the commissioner observed that clouds of rosin dust were being wafted out to settle upon the rlngsldera, much to their annoyance, aa a result of this antiquated method. In the opposite corner where he was sitting seconds were using fans. la this way they were able to concentrate the air set. In motion on their principal Instead of on the floor of the ring. The commissioner decided that In order to a-d to the comfort of those located close o,the ring it would be a -good Idea to Cue a tan on the use f towela. This rule, if made, will be a very welcome on. BY W. J. MACBETH. NEW YORK, June 29.-New York has Johnny Evers to thank for an alfllction of the Giants. One of the Trojan's pet curses has developed only this year- Heine Zimmerman, of the Brcnx. Evers is responsible for him. Evers discovered, developed, propagated and otherwise groomed him into a holy terror. And the big giant of the Bronx Is likely to show his appreciation by divers home runs off such redoubtable performers as "Rube" Marquard and Christy Mathewson before thla present season rolls into oblivion. Zlmmercan has just found himself In the big show for the first time this season. He looked like a million dollars to Gotham fandom on his , recent tour with the Cubs. In our fair city he ' worked In one full game and par. of another. In the first he cracked o'.t two home run Into the bleachers. Jn the second , one he laced another over the wall. ' No telling what he night have accom plished had he not .aken the count from a verbal tilt wlt'j Umpire Flnneran. Heine got the gae for three days and couldn't play any more against the champions. In many respxts Zimmerman is a real marvel of the ear.. Scarcely a day goes by that he 'toes not belt out a few triplets and Joubles, and he has more home runs tf his credit than-any other player In proportion of games Indulged In. He ia of the old fashioned school; the type of slugger than predominated ten years ago. He uses a big, long bat, and takes a regular "Morlarlty," the profes sional vernacular for full swing. : He's a strappirg big fellow and gets about as much energy Into hla thrust as Chief Meyers or Hans Wagner. These three are undoubtedly the most powerful hit ters In the league. Zimmerman Is more or less a child of fortune like the great majority of the best pastlmers. He Is one of the few great lights of the profession who de veloped In old New York. For, like Jack Warner, the old Giant catcher, and Tim Jordan, the former Dodger first baseman, Heine Zimmerman was reared In the Bronx. It was at school he first got the "bug." He was considered "some pitcher" by the kids of public school No. ; 61. ' , , "Zlmmy"- also went to Fordham for a pell. But he didn't take a full college course. His performance aa a achoolboy had attracted the attention of the aeml pro and independent promoters. They paid him from 110 to $30 a week for Sat urdays and Sundays, and these pickups came In mighty handy to the big family of fourteen. Heine was taken out of college at a tender age because he was a big, raw-boned youth and apprenticed to a plumber. He drew 12 a day, with occasional extras. With tha week-end graft he . began to consider himself an embryo bloated capitalist. About that time Jim Robinson, manager of the Wilkesbarre club of the New York State league, got wind of Zimmerman's promise. He came to New York one Sunday, looked Heine over and signed htm up at 1100 a month. Zimmerman went out to the Miners as a' pitcher, but aa a pitcher he was a first-class plumber. There wasn't much class, to him any way Robinson looked at him. But Rcbby '.Iked big men and that saved Heine's bacon. The youngster was al ways ready to listen and willing to learn. . They put him up In a pinch one dav and Zimmerman fairly knocked the ball out of the cover. The further he went the better be looked as a pinch hitter. He pinched so often and so scientifically that Robinson decided he needed, his big bat In the works every day. So Heine was converted Into an lnflelder. They tried him at first, second, short and third. He looked best at second and that position he played when Evers uncovered him. - i Heine waa playing with Wilkesbarre against Troy one Sunday when the little Trojan ; had gone home on a Visit H was at his best and won the game by his great and terrific hitting. On Evers recommendation Fran Chance-immediately purchased the Bronx lad for the sum of 12,000. Zimmerman went to the Cubs at a.time ' Pki S Ml f iv . -1 , ' yHs ? y fw , vfv f& HEINE ZIMMERMAN. DEMON SLUGGER OF THE CHICAGO CUBS, WHO IS LEADING THE BATTERS OF" THE NATIONAL LEAGUE IN EXTRA-BASE HITS. ' ZIMMERMAN HAS ACTUALLY LACED OUT MORE EXTRA-BASE HITS THAN SINGLES THIS SEASON. . - when It waa mighty hard for hlru to get a thorough trial. The old, marvellous aggregation that had won three pennants and two world's championships In a row was still Intact. There was aa much chance of anybody breaking In aa there la for a cripple to break Sing Sing. Be sides, Zlmmy got In rather bad in the world's series of 1910. That was the year the Athletics made the Cuba look like a bunch of selling platera. Zimmerman was assigned to second - base ' because Johnny Evera waa out with a broken leg. There has been 'just one Johnny Evers, and when Zlmmy booted a few It was all off. v Chance had his nerve to keep Heine after the panning he got. But he stuck to him, and now comes his reward. Maybe Zimmerman never would have found his proper sphere but for the un fortunate death of little Jimmy Doyle. Chance had no one for third. That was the bag for which Heine waa made to order. As soon as he got confidence in himself this spring he began to show the game of his life. He's a good third base man; one of the best the Qubs ever had. Doubly good because he's such a slugger. Zimmerman single-handed has made a championship possibility out of a club that every one figured a sure second divi sion disappointment. He has added just the necessary hitting and fielding strength to offset the handicap caused by Frank Chance's absence from the game. His presence has given a new lease of life to Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers. That Cub infield has much of the pep and dash of the old array. If Chance only had some pitchers he would make things Interesting for the champions even yet. r STATE TENNISENTRIES MADE Preparations Being: Hade for Events at Norfolk in July.

Murray Has a Snap Finding Phenoms PITTSBURGH, June 29.-"It's easier scouting for ball players than managing a big league team," says William J. Murray, who is drawing pay from the Pittsburgh club for discovering phenom enons. Murray, was well known up In New England back In '86 as a player ot tne popular winter game called roller polo. He was center on the crack New Bedford team, with Rogers and M. Peck, rushers; Canavan, half back, and Curley at goal. He played base ball in summer end was the right fielder and manager or the Providence Eastern league tears ten years later. Murray won a pennant wun tne Jersey City team, developing wince uooian, now shortstop of the Phlla delphlas, and other stars, and soon he took hold of the Quakers, signing for a total salary of JIS.OOO for three years. When Horace Fogel got hold of the club Murray was shelved. He had a struggle tor Ms money and the matter was com promised. But he made up his mind right there to quit managing and when Barney Dreyfuss offered him a Job as scout Murray leaped at it, Last fall he recom, mended to the Pirates the $22,500 O'Toole, and his clever catcher, Kelly."
