PLAN TO INITIATE
M

Meirue
Johnny Evens, new manager of tho
Chicago Cubs, nnd himself perhaps
tho greatest second baseman in base
ball, will rely largely on two great
catchers and n great third baseman
to win the National League pennant
for the Cubs this year, lie has Jim
Archer and Roger BreMialmn, catch
ers, and lleiuie Zimmerman on third
hne.
Last year Zimmerman led the Na
tional league in batting, having a h.t
centage og .372. Rrc.snnhnii. then
playing in St. Iiuis, had a pircont
ngo of .333, while Archer batted .'283.
Unless Brcsnnhnn has gone back he
nnd Archer arc the two bc-.t catchers
in baseball. Either of them ouhgt to
be sufficient for one club.
When Brcsnahan was catching for
the Qinnts in New York he vi
counted among the three grent men
behind the bat, the others being Billy
Sullivan of the White Sox and Johh
Kling of the Culf. Then he went to
St. Louis nx a mnnnucr, but found it
impossible to get along with Mrs.
Britton nnd her suffragettes.
Zimmerman has been with the Cubs
n long time, during which he acted ns
utility man. But since he has taken
Jimmy jircier.
charge of third base he has become i
slur. Lint year Archer fielded .00(5.
Bresnnhaii .07-1, and Ziiuiuerman .017.
While tho old Cub machine under
Frank Chance has pmc to pieces,
Even, who succeeded the Peerless
lender, hm in theo great players
nnd himself the nucleu- of nuothor
