OTTO JORDAN’S FOXY FUDGE BEATS BABBLERS IN TENTH By PERCY WHITING. Memphis. Tenn., Aug. 22.—Otto Jordan** famous fudge play, which has not t**n sprung in n long time, won Tuesday's red-hot extra Inning battle In-tween Atlanta and Memphis. Score, 2 to 1. It came like this: „ In the tenth. Jordan singled. Fox filed out. Then Otto made a bluff to ateal second, turnlug around and running *>ack to drat. Smith and Nlcholla l*oth thought he was not going to make the effort, and when he awltched and ran, tndiody was st the bag to catch him. The throw to second cavorted on to center field, whero Nadeau got Isilled up. Jordan acoring the run that untied the acore and gave Atlanta victory. It was a comiscntlng bntfjs from Atlanta's viewpoint, the Wanderer* playing Jam-up good baseball front start to finish. Hoc Childs and Sid Smith, the Hallle league battery, worked together like big leaguers. They used to stir things up wheu they were with Charleston, down In Boyer's province. • Childs pitched a great gams, and the only run Memphis secured was made In the first lniilng ; Tbs first ball he pitched was slapped to center by Blass, who made two bags on the swat. Carter sacrificed, and Blass scored on an out. After that, the Babblers were helpless. Hbl Smith's sterling flinging to bases was. perhaps, the feature of the game. Not • single Memphian got away with a stolen base, and three were shot down In the midst of life by the burly* Carolltian. One single was all that Atlanta got off Georgia Suggs up to the ninth Inning. But In that stanxa Atlanta got together and tied the wore. Winters hit to short, and beat It out, going to second on Nlcholla* error. Crosier sacrlfloed him to third, and Bid Smith's fly seat him home. In the tenth. Jordan worked hla fudge, which won the game. The Atlanta team played fast Imselsill. Every man was on hla toes, and Childs received splendid support. Fox la back In hla old form, and Hoffman nnd Ever* did perfect wo/k. It looks like a different team from the one that Mont gomery lambasted down at Atlanta. The score: An. ll. H. I'O. A.

Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 21—Empire Rud derhstn. who Is now generally regarded the I test lu the league, had a narrow es cape from being a Harvard man. 9 When "Buddy" was graduated from the (Jtiliicy, Maas., high scbiMil he wns a 16- year-old pitching wonder.

LEAGUE PENNANT FOR 1906 WILL FLY IN BIRMINGHAM You may now congratulate Mr. Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham. Ala., on achieving the pennant for his town-folk. The Barons have won It. It la a 60 to 1 Bhot that no team will ever be able to catch the floet-footed Alabaman,. Tuesday’s • double-jointed victory over Shreveport made It practically a cinch for Birmingham. The team now. ha* a lead of flfty-ieven 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. It 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 aince the reorganliatlon of the Southern League in 1901, Birmingham has been one of the bulwarks of the 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 money for a win ner and although In the past one thing or another hgs always Inter posed to disappoint them, they hav, got It at last. T'hey deserve It. Harry Vaughan has made an able manager. He Is a good manager be cause he has gathered a winning team, a team made up of atrong pitchers, a fast Infield and a heavy hitting outfield.

May the lieat man will. Blrmlnchniu's our choice. Atlanta our second choice nml Memphis our thin!.—Birmingham Ledger. ' Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.—According to the opinion of Atlanta players, Liebhardt, now the league's leading pitcher, has deteriorated materially since the previous time the bunch tack led him. "He had nothing against us Sunday," aald Jim Fox. "Hla curve wasn't much and his speed was lacking. He tried to pass me twice, but 1 wouldn't let him." •Til 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 have pitched Liebhardt too much. They 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 Secretary McCullough, of the Memphis Baseball Association, dentes that either Liebhardt or Nlcholla has been sold. He admits that their will be, but will go bond that no deal has been closed. Secretary McCullough la much afraid that Manager Babb inny be lost to the team by draft or otherwise. If things were now as they have been In the past, It would be an ensy matter to "cover" Babb by having him drafted by some major league club. Now*, how ever, It Is necessary to get waivers from nil the major league clubs on players drafted or sold, and that is sometimes no ensy matter. As only one player can be drafted BERMUDA ONIONS WILL CURE CONSUMPTION IN ANY STAGE Front The New York Herald.

It would seem to be possible to have some man draft ed who would not be wanted by any of the clubs In the big leagues. This would protect the club from loss by draft of any of the other clubs. It Is wonderful the number of root ers 1 the Atlanta team ha# In Memphis. Whether the demonstration comes from local men who have bet against the home club or 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 outfleld. 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 outfleld and Hoff man from outfleld to third base looks like a good switch. This combination led off with a victory and worked nice ly. Smith is better than Evers behind the bat, and. Evers and Hoffman are doing satisfactory* work In their new positions. - , But for twenty !
