OTTO JORDAN’S FOXY FUDGE
BEATS BABBLERS IN TENTH
By PERCY WHITING.
Memphis. Tenn.. Aug. 22.-Otto Jordan's fninoua fudge play, which haa not
keen eprnng In u long time, won Tuesday's red-hot extra Inning liattle between
Atlanta and Metnphla. Score, * to L
It came like this:
In the tenth. Jordan alngled. Fox tiled out. Then Otto made a bluff to steal
second, turning around and running f mrk to tint. Smith and NIchoMs tmth thought
he waa not going to make the effort, and when he switched and ran. nolHNly was
flt the Img to catch him. The throw to aecond cavorted on to center field, where
Kade.iu got hailed up, Jordan acorlng the run that untied the score and -gave
Atlanta victory.
It waa a rormscatlng batfje from Atlanta'* viewpoint, the Wanderers playing
Jam-up good haaeholl from start to finish.
iHw Childs and Kid Hmlth, the Kaljle longue hattcry, worked together like hlg
leaguer*. They used to attr things up when they were with Charleston, down In
‘ Boyer's province.
Childs pitched a great game, and the only run Memphis oernfed waa made In
‘the first Inning. The first Imll he pitched was slapped to center by l'lnas, who
Made two bag* ou the «wnt. Carter sacrificed, and Plass seore«l on an out. After
that, the nahblers were helpless.
Hid Smith's sterling flluglng to bases was, perhaps, the fentnre of the game. Not
a single Memphian got away with it stolen base, and throe were shot down In the
midst of life by the burly Cnrnllnnu.
one single waa all that Atlanta got off Georgle Kugga up to the ninth Inning.
But In that stanza Atlanta got together and tied the score. Winters hit to short,
and I»eat It out. going to second ou Nlcbolls' error. Croaler sacrificed him to third,
ami Kid Smith's fly sen* him home.
In the tenth. Jordan worked Ida fudge, which won the game.
The Atlanta team played fast Imscl'sll. Kvery man was on hla toes, mid
Childs received splendid support. Fox la back In hla old form, and Hoffman and
Evert did perfect work. It looks like n different team from the one that Mont
gomery lambasted down at Atlanta.

STUDIE8 IN EXPRESSION BY CAR T00NI8T BREWL.,.Ui..
Liebhardt is Going Back
Atlanta Players Believe
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.-—According
to the opinion of Atlanta players,
Liebhardt, now tbg league’* leading
pitcher, haa* deteriorated materially
since the previous time the bunch tack
led him.
‘He had nothing against us Sunday,”
said Jim Fox. "Hla curve wasn't much
and hla speed Waa lacking. He tried to
pass me twice, but* I wouldn't let him."
I'll tell you one thing," aded Win
ters, "a ball player has to look out
for himself. The manager Isn’t going
to do It. They havd pitched Liebhardt
too much. Th&y have got him sold and
they don’t care If he pitches both arms
and a leg off. They are 'going to win
all the games they can with him and
let It go at that."
It may be of Interest to note that
•cretary McCullough, of the Memphis
Baseball Association, denies that either
Lfebhardt or Nlcholls has been sold.
He admits that they will be, but will
go bond that no deal hns been closed.
Secretary McCullough la much afraid
that Manager Babb may be lost to the
team by druft or otherwise. If things
wqre now ns they have been In the
past. It would be an easy matter to
"cover" Babb by having him drafted
by some major league club. Now, how
ever, It Is necessary to get waivers
from all the major league clubs on
players drafted or sold, and that Is
sometimes no easy mutter.
As only one player can be drafted
from each club, however. It would seem
to be possible to have some man draft
ed who would not l>e wanted by any
of the clubs in the big leagues. This
would protect the club from loss by
draft of any of tha other clubs.
It Is wonderful the number of root
ers the Atlanta team has In Memphis.
Whether the demonstration comes from
local men who have bet against the
home plub Qr. from travelers who want
some such means of proving that they
are not natives Is uncertain, but certain
it Is that there Is lots of yelling for the
Atlanta club from Memphis bleachers
and grandstands.
The Atlanta club Is deservedly popu
lar here, anyway. Local fans say that
the players have always behaved In a
gentlemanly manner and played good
ball, and that kind of conduct Is appre
ciated.
"Rabbit" plass Is playing a good
game In the outfield. He covers a
world of ground and Is a handy man
on bases..
The change of Sid Smith from third
to the catcher's box, Evers from catch
er’s position to the outfield and Hoff
man from outfield to third base looks
like a good swltcn. This combination
led off with a victory and worked nice
ly. Smith Is abetter than Evers behind
the bat, and Evers and Hoffman are
doing satisfactory work In their new
positions.

Yon may now congratulate Mr.
Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham, Ala.,
ou achieving. the pennant for his
town-folk. The Barons have won It.
tt la a SO to 1 shot that no team will
ever be able to catch the floet-footed
Alabamans.
Tuesday's ■ double-jointed victory
over Shreveport made It practically a
cinch for Birmingham. The team
now has a lead of fifty-seven points
over Memphis, Its nearest competi
tor. Those fifty-seven points mean a
difference of eleven games. This
with the season less than A month to
go.
If Birmingham makes only an even
break during the rest of the season
and Memphis wins two out of every
three games, Birmingham will have
the pennant. . , '
So It looks as though nothing short
of a railroad wreck or an epidemic of
smallpox can put the Barons out.
Well. If any town ever deserved a
pennant more than Atlanta that town
is Birmingham.
Ever since the reorganliatlon of the
Southern League In 1901. Birmingham
has been one of the bulwarks of ths
league. While the fans and the base,
ball writers have at times got pretty
rabid, at the same time charges of
unfairness or crooked work have
seldom been brought and never proved
against the town.
The club owners have always been
willing to' put out mtlhey for a win-
ner and although In the past one
thing or another has always inter
posed to disappoint them, they havt
got it at last They deserve It.
Harry Vaughan has made an able
manager. He la a good manager be
came he has gathered a winning
team, a tyam made up of strong
pitchers, a fast Infield and a' heavy
hitting outfield.

The new Memphis course undoubtedly
ranks among the best In the*Kouth. and the
putting greens are undoubtedly the Ihmu.
Nine holes are now In good condition, nud
nine more hare !>een InldNmt already.
It la doubtful If the Memphis enurfs
will ever compare with the new Atlanta
course. It Is larking In nnturnl hnxnrds,
aud will not have as good a fair green.
The soil Is clay, and bakes as hard ns a
chunk of rock In dry weather. It Is a
good rourae, however, and umlouhtcilly the
Houthern championship of 1908 will ho held
over It.

arrived this morning, looking as husky
mountain lion, and aa dear-eyed as the
desert atmosphere.
He and Clifford will train with Nelson.
Both men took a turn with Nelson, spar
ring two rounds each. There la some ob
jection to the two men working In the
same camp, hut for the present there
i» other place.
Gann did his usual atuut on the road and
In doors. There were no unusual lucl-
dents.
Billy Nolan made the first statement to
day:
Kvery thing la going on smoothly, nnd
after one week of hard work, the Battler
hns shown fhnt the high altitude hen* does
not affect him In the least. He la working
Just na hard and na faithfully for thin con
test as he hns for nuy In the past.
"Nelson tipped the scale* at 133 pounds
tislny, which Is evidence tbnt the question
of weight won't trouble him. In fact, he
•*an make 130 pounds readily at the ring
side.”
There hnye lwen many storlea floating
around to the effect that everything Is not
going right In the coming battle, hut they
have had n«j effect on the general public.
Judging from the advance sale of scats.
It mny lie said here that the Nelaou-Gans
contest will draw more reputable aport-
Ing men from nil over the country than
*ny other contest that has ever taken
place. Already enough seats have lieea
ordered to pay the purse, of $90,000, oral Tex
Rickard, the manager of the GoldfleM Ath
letic Club, said today that n handful of
aulHM*rllN*rs Who donated the purse and 111-
W0 are perfectly satisfied to hnve ths
rifbtest come off here If they don't receive
a cent on the original Investment.
Rlcknrd says he will post 12^00 ns a for*
felt to any charitable Institution If any
one can truthfully aay that the fight was
not on the square, and that be will leave
It to the newspaper reporters at the ring
side.
"The 390.000 that I demanded as a parse
for Nelson to meet flaus Is postesl with
the stakeholder," said Nolan. "You can
hank your life on It that from our rad
nothing hut a square contest will inks
place. If we win, we. want to receive th#
credit that Is due the Bane. Ou the other
hand, |f the negro wins, he will l»e the un
disputed lightweight rhamplon of the world,
nnd no other lightweight has a living
chance with him. Aa lietweep Nelson and
Gnus, they have Iteaten derisively every
1.73-pouii«1 man In the world of any class.
"Nelson Is confident of victory, and will
have no excuse to offer In ease of defeat.
He will gire a statement over his own sig
nature as to his condition liefore he enter*
the ring, nnd will Insist on the same from
"In conclusion, I wish to aay^ that this
wIR lie the only battle that has taken
VI -e In year* under legitimate l!gu>
weight terms."
