.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.

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

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

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."
