Four years ago he almost lost his life when struck by a pitched ball. Last season he was threat ened with blindness after being hit by a pitch. In the latest epi sode, he was sent into the dirt by a knockdown pitch and got up to hit a home run on the next q deliverer. O "Little Zip," who hails from Cincinnati, needed six years even to fet a look in the majors. Up there ahead of him was Pee Wee Reese, the ageless wonder of the Dodgers, so as a shortstop "Zip" w behind the eight ball. Still, he stayed with it despite Don Quintet Nof Nervous OfOf Kansas San Irancirtco U.R) The Univritf of San Francisco bas- ketbll juid leaves tonight for Kari.

The Dnns have impressed friends anri foes alike with their poise a quality they learned in facing big crowds all over the country in winning their two previous NCAA ttlies. It was this poise that helped them to a 50-48 victory over University of California in the NCAA quarter-finals last week end. Tie Dons have also another quality they can play basket ball, as a 20-6 season record will attest. Coach Doesn't Doubt Coach Phil Woolpert had no doubt about the outcome of the game. "We can beat Kansas. We'll need shooting from everybody. We'll have to maintain our de fensive record and we'll have to put pressure on Chamberlain. But we can do it because w rve the height.

BEAM DISTILLING CO., CLERMONT, KENTUCKY the near-fatal injury at St. Paul in 1953. On that occasion, a burly fast ball pitcher named Jim Kirk fired one high and inside and Zimmer was told later he ducked into it. For 13 days he was unconsci ous. When he awakened, after an operation, Zimmer couldn't talk. Trying a comeback at year's end, he admittedly was so weak that he "couldn't hit the ball out of the infield." "In the spring of 1954 I was strong again but I didn't know whether I'd be plate shy," he says. "But I found out soon enough. In the first four game series, against Toledo, the pitch ers knocked me down seven times. But I didn't mind. I knew after that I was going to be just like I was before." So much for that, at the end of the season, he was up with Brooklyn and has been there ever .since. Not painlessly, however. Play ing in the winter leagues in late 1955 he suffered an arm fracture and an appendicitis at tack. But by spring, Zimmer was "zipping" again. In July, he was beaned again. Zimmer's left cheek was frac tured this time and for a time it was feared he might lose the sight of his left eye. But in late September he was back. So this week, down in 'the Dodger training camp in Flor ida, a six-foot, three-inch Detroit pitcher named Jim Bunning fired a fast ball which was zoom ing toward Zimmer's head when "Little Zip" escaped by taking a dive into the dirt. And, on Bunning's next pitch, the undismayed Zimmer teed off for the three-run homer which won the exhibition game. Reese, who still stands be tween, Zimmer and that long coveted shortstop berth, shook his head admiringly. CALUMET HORSES NAMED Hallandale, Fla. (U.R) Gen.

A 24-year-old native of San Francisco who walloped 66 home runs for Lincoln, Neb., last sea son and says he might do as well in the majors, Stuart hit a pair of 400-foot round-trippers Tues day as the Pirates beat the Chi cago White Sox, 9-3. It was the eight win in 11 games for the Pirates and the fifth loss in 10 games for the White Sox. It's been all or nothing at all for the big fellow, however, be cause he now has hit five homers and struck out eight times in four games. He fanned all three times he failed to hit the ball out of the park Tuesday. Mantle or Seerey? Manager Bobbby Bragan has not decided whether he has a new Mickey Mantle or a new Pat Seerey on his hands, but he's sure of one thing: When Stuart connects, it doesn't make any difference who the pitcher is. off five different pitchers with Snead Knots In Seminole Palm Beach, Fla.
