Zwilling, just 5'6", was the star centerfielder of the Federal League Chicago Whales. He tied for the league lead with 15 HR in 1914, led with 94 RBI in 1915, and topped league outfielders in putouts both seasons. When the Feds folded, he served as a lefthanded pinch hitter for the Cubs. He and Rollie Zeider were the only players to play for all three Chicago clubs. (DAS)
