Tenn., Aug. 2&—Umpire llud- derhain. who Is now* generally regarded an the l»e*t In the lesgue, had s narrow ee- «*spe from being n Harvard man. When "Ruddy" was graduated from the Quincy, Mass., high scbuol he wraa a 16- year-old pitching wonder. 8<*on after hla graduation he wraa approached by agents of the Harvard baseball team, w ho offered lifm hla leiard and tuition free provided he would pitch for the Harvard team. ftiidderham could not oee It that way, however, and drifted Into a shoe fsetory. where he soon rose to a‘ resjMinsllde posi tion. The manner of his leaving the shoe innniifactuiing business was dramatic. He was sent to s newly-o|»ened factory to teach the use of the machines to some green op- eratora. In throwing n belt onto a wheel the apron be k*n* wesrlng caught In a plec of shaftlug and Ruddy was w’htsked around In mid-air at the Imminent risk of breaking neck. Before lie liecame any more tangled In the machinery hla apron gave r.iy and lie wna thrown with considerable lolence on the floor. He la/ there for a while thinking It over, and when hi* picked himself up ho an nounced that never again would he worl. In a sh«H» factory, ami he never has. From the shoe imiuiifnctiirlngbiislness find- dy drifted Into professional ball, and had many successful seasons ns a pitcher. Ills best year was with Providence In the East ern league, where he pitched 42 games and lost only 6. Itudderhnm says he thinks the umpiring linldt has become chronic with him.

STUDIE8 IN EXPRESSION BY CAR TOONI8T BREWERTON. Liebhardt is Going Back Atlanta Players Believe Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.—According to the opinion of Atlanta players, Llebhardt, now the league's leading pitcher, has deteriorated materially since the previous time the bunch tack led him. "He had nothing against us Sunday," said Jim Fox. "His curve wasn’t much and his speed was jacking. He tried to pass me twice, but I wouldn’t let him." "I’ll tell you one thing," aded Win* terst "a ball player has to look out for himself. The manager Isn't going to do It. They have pitched Llebhardt too ‘much. They have got him sold and they don't care If he pitches both arms and a leg ofT. 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 _ tseball Association, denies that either Llebhardt or Nlcholla has been sold. He admits that they will be, but will go bond that no deal has been closed. Secretary McCullough Is much afraid that Manager Babb, may be lost to the team by draft or otherwise. If things were now as they have been In the past, It would be an easy matter to "cover" Babb by having him drafted by some major league club, l^ow, how ever, it la necessary' to get waivers from all the major league clubs on players drafted or sold, and that is sometimes no easy matter. 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 be wanted by any of the clubs in the big leagues. This would protect the club from loss by draft or any of the other clubs. It Ih 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 club or from travelers w*ho 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 th# nutfleld. He covers a world of ground and Is a handy man on bases. The change of Hid 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 switch. This combination led off with a victory and worked nice ly. Hmlth is better than Evers behind the bat, and Evers and Hoffman are doing satisfactory work in their new positions. MGR.

You may now congratulate Mr. Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham, Ala., on achieving the pennant for his town-folk. The Barons have won It. It I, a 60 to 1 shot that no team will ever be able to catch the fleet-footed Alabamans. Tuesday’s double-jointed victory over Shreveport made It practically a clrich for Birmingham. The team now has a lead of f^fty-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. Evdr since the reorganization 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 tbe 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 on« thing or another has always Inter posed to disappoint them, they have got It at last. They 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 strong pitchers, a fast Infield and a heavy hitting outfleld. Atlanta Golfers Invited to the Memphis Tournament By PERCY WHITING. Memphis, Tenn.. Ang. 22.—The Memphis Country Club will Rive nn Invitation Rolf tournament over Its new course September 13 to 15, and Memphis players expert thnt Atlnnts will be lllierally represented nt the event. "We nre always strong on tournaments nud generally send delegations to nil tour naments," said Jack Edrlngtoti, Memphis' best golfer, here yesterday. "And we will do thnt for the uext Southern chnmplon- ship In Atlanta. Hut we expect thnt the Atlnnta players will reclpracate by turning out well for our tournnment here next month." ■ The program of the Memphis tournament follows: Thursday, September 13—Morning.

The new Memphis course undoubtedly ranks among the best In the Houth. and the putting greens are undoubtedly the Ifeat. Nine holes nre now In goml condition, and nine more hnve 1n»en laid out already. It Is doubtful If the Mempliln coiirs* will ever compare with the now Atlanta course. It Is lacking In natural hnxnnU. and will not hnve s# good n fair green. The soli Is clay, and bakes ns bard ns a chunk of rock In dry weather. It Is a good course, however, and undoubtedly the Southern championship of 1938 will !»c hot.I over It.

Nev„ Aug. 22.—Bobble Lundy arrived this morning, looking as husky ns n mountain lion, and ns clcnr-cyed as the desert atmosphere. He and t’llfford will train with Nelson. Roth men took a turn with Nelson, spar ring two rounds each. There Is some ob jection to the two men working In the Name camp, but for the present there Is no other place. Gnu* did his usual stunt on the road and In doors. There were iio unusual Inci dents. Hilly Nolan mndo the flrat statement to< day: Everything Is going on smoothly, and after one 1 week of hard work, the Battler line rhown thnt the high altitude here does not affect him Ih the least. He Is working Just as hard and ns faithfully for this con test ns he luis for any In the past. Nelson tipped the arnica st 133 |»ounds today, which Is evidence thnt the question of weight won’t trouble him. In fact, lie make 130 pounds readily at the ring side." There hnve been many stories floating around to the effect thnt everything la not going right In the coming lint tic, but they have had iio effect on the general piddle. Judging from the advance sale of scats. It may lie said here that the Nelson-Gans contest will draw more reputnble skirt ing men from nil over tlie country than any other contest that has ever taken place. Already enotigh seata have I wen ordered to pay the piirse of $30,000. and Tex ttleknrd, tlie manager of the Goldfield Ath letic Club, said today that a handful of subscriber* who donated tlie purse and $12.- 000 nre perfectly satisfied fo hnve lira contest come off here If they don't receive n cent on the original Investment.
