HIDLAY Associated Press Writer CHICAGO (AP) Don Zimmer's dedication to baseball combined with his playing and coaching experience landed him the job as new manager of the Chicago Cubs, says Jim Frey, the team's director of baseball operations. "This man has never ever had a desire to do anything than be a professional baseball man." Frey said Friday after naming Zimmer to the job.

Zimmer, 56 played for the Cubs in the 1960s and helped coach them to the National League East title in 1984 when Frey was the team's manager, Zimmer and Frey grew up and played American Legion ball together in Cincinnati, worked together on the 19W Cubs team and were fired on the same day by the team in But Zimmer, the third base coach for the NL West champion San Francisco Giants last season, and Frey played down the hometown connection. "The childhood thing is kind of a nice romantic story," Frey said, "but it doesn't have a heckuva lot to do with hiring somebody to manage a ballclub. You'd be hard-pressed to go out and find a more experienced, qualified person with the same amount of enthusiasm." Zimmer, a jovial, round-faced man with a crew-cut, said he hoped to breathe life into the lackluster Cubs. The Cubs were last in the division with a 76-85 in 1987. finishing 18Vi games behind first-place St.

Louis. Zimmer, who replaces Gene Michael, said his immediate priorities would be to hire a coaching staff by sometime next week and bolster the Cubs' pitching staff. But he said he also plans tactical on-the-field changes. "We're going to run. When I say run, we're going to hit-and- run.

I'm going to try to make things happen. If the players can execute what we're going to try to do, then we'll have a fun ballclub," he said. Zimmer managed at San Diego from 1972-73, at Boston from 1976.1980 and at Texas from 1981-82. By George Robinson NEW YORK (NBA) It's been an unsettled kind of a year in college football.
