the best In the league, had a narrow es
cape from being a Harvard ninn.
When "Ruddy" was graduated from the
Quincy, Mass., high school be was 1
year-old pitching wonder. Honn after bla
graduation he was approached by agents of
the Harvard baseball team, who offered him
Ills ImmixI and tuition free provided he
would pitch for the HarvoVd teant.
Itudderham could not eee it that. way.

STUDIES IN EXPRESSION BY CARTOONIST BREWERTON.
Liebhardt is Going Back
Atlanta Players Believe
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 Barona have won' It.
It la a 50. to 1, shot that no team will
ever be able to catch the fleet-footed
Alabamana.
Tuesday's double-jointed victory
over Shreveport made It practically a
cinch for Birmingham. The team
now haa a lead of flfty-aeven points
over Memphis, Its neareit competi
tor. Those flfty-seveif points mean a
difference of I eleven games. Thla
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 ss though nothing short
of a' railroad wreck or an epidemic of
smallpox can put the Barona out.
Well, If any town ever deserved ,
pennant more than Atlanta that tows
Is Birmingham.
Ever 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 the same time charges of
unfairness or crooked work hare
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 haa always Inter
posed to disappoint them, they bare
got It at last. They deserve It.
Harry Vaugbsn 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 outfield.

Memphis, Tenn., Autr. 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 ngalnst ua Sunday,”
said Jim Fo*. "Hla curve wasn't much
and hla speed was 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 htmaelf. 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 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
8eeretary McCullough, of the Memphis
Baseball Association, denies that either
Llebhardt or Nlcholls 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
pnst, It would be an easy matter to
"cover" Babb ny having him drafted
by some major league club. Now, how
ever, It Is necessary to get walvera
from all tli# 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 mnn 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 the Atlanta team has '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
tho players have always behaved In a
K ntlemanly manner and played good
' 11, jnd that kind of conduct l» appre-
"Rabblt" Plass Is playing « 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 arid Hoff
man from outfield 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. >

Country Cliib Will give 'an Invitation golf
touriiiiuient -over Ita new courae September
13 to 15, and 5Iemphl* players export
that Atlanta will be liberally represented
at the event.
“We are always strong on tournaments
and generally send delegations to all tour
naments." ssld Jack Kdriugtou, Memphis*
t»e*t golfer, hen* yesterday. “And we will
do tbiit for the next Southern champion
ship In Atlanta. But we expect that the
Atlanta player* will rerlprocnte hy turning
out well for onr tournament here next
month.”'
The program of the Memphla tournament
follow*:
Thursday, September 13— Morning,
Qualifying round. 18 hole*, -modal play;
cup for lowest score nnd cup for second.
A team match of four men from each
club represented will be played at samo
time, with handsome cup for winning cluf>.
Thla qualifying round la to dlvldo the play
er* Into three classes. The lowest sixteen
qualify In Class -A; the second sixteen In
rinse B, and the third sixteen In Class C.
Class A prises: Buntyu cup to flrat;|cnp

cup to first: rnp to ninner-np. CIsm C

Friday, September 14—Morning.
Second rounds for classes A. It nnd C;
semi-finals for classes A, It and C. nnd
“Dead Duck*' handicap..
Saturday, September 15—Morning.
Handicap. 18 holes, medal play: cup to
lowest gross score: cup to lowest net
score. Finals In classes A, R nnd ('.
The new Memphis course undoubtedly
ranks among the liest'ln the Mouth, nnd the
patting greens are undoubtedly the bent.
Nine holes are now In good condition, ami
nine more have l»een laid ont already.
It Is’ doubtful If the Memphis course
will ever compare with Ac new Atlnntn
course. It Is lacking In natural hnsardi,
and will uot have as good a fair green.
The soli Is clay, nnd bakes ns hard as a
chunk of yock In dry weather. It Is a
good course, however, and undoubtedly the
Southern championship of 1938 will he held
over It.
Simpson, the new professional, has proved
to lie a most competent mnn. lie pla?a
a grand game of golf, and 1s successful•
as an Instructor. Under his care, the play-

CASTRO SALE
NOT ILLEGAL
By PERCY WHITING.
Special to The Georgian.
Memphis. Tenn., Aug. 22.—The Birming
ham club can keep Shortstop Castro. Such
Is the ruling of President Kavsnsngh.
A local newspaper wired Judge Kara-
nnugh, asking If it was within the rules to
make a ante of a player withiu the last
thirty days of the playtug season. The
president nnuouneed that It was the custom
to allow such sale* provide they were made
In good faith.' The loaning of players Is
forbidden, but bona tide sales are not pro
hibited. j
Thla decision was contrary to the opinions
4*f Ms linger* Smith and Finn, but It may l>*
regarded as Anal.

lie nnd Clifford will train with Nelson.
Both men t«»ok a turn with Nelson, spar
ring two rounds each. There Is sonia ob
jection to the two inen working in the
same camp, but for tho present there Is
no other place.
Gans did his usual stunt on the road nnd
In doors. There were no unusual Inci
dents.
Billy Nolan made the first statement to-
day:
“Kverythtng Is going on smoothly, nnd
after one week .of hard work, the Battler
has rhown that the high altitude here does
not affect him In the least. He Is working
Just as hard and na faithfully for this con
test ns he has for any lu the |Niat.
“Nelson tipped the settles at 133 ponnds
today, which Is evidence that the question
of weight won’t trouble him. In fact, he
can make 130 founds readily at the ring
side. “
There have lieen many stories floating
around to the effect that everything Is not
going right In the coming battle, but they
have had nu effect on the general public,
Judging from the advance sale of scats.
It may l»c said here that the Nelson-Gans
contest will draw more reputable ajmrt-
Ing men from nil over tne country than
sny other contest thnt has ever taken
place. Already enough seats have l»cen
ordered to pay the purse of $30,000, nml Tex
Ulcknrd, the manager of the Goldfield Ath
letic Club, said today that a handful of
subscrllicra who donated tho purse and $12.-
000 are perfectly satisfied to have Hie
contest come off here If they don’t recelvt
n cent on tho original Investment.
Rickard says he will post $L50u as n for
feit, to any charitable Institution If nn.r
one can truthfully say that the fight wsi
not on the square, and that lie will lours
It to the newspaper reporters nt the ring
side. ✓
“The $10,000 that I demanded a* s purse
for Nelson to meet Onus Is postal with
the stakeholder,“ said Nolan. "You mn
bank your life on It that from our end
nothing but n square contest will tnk*
place. If we win, we want to receive the
credit thnt Is due the Dane. On the other
hand. If the negro wins, lie will l*e the un
disputed lightweight champion of the world,
nnd no other lightweight haa a living
chance with him. Aa lietween Nelson nnd
Unna, they have beaten decisively every
133-pound man In the world of nny
“Nelson I* confident of victory, and *l»
have no excuse to offer In case of defeat,
lie will give a statement over his own sig
nature ns to hla condition lwfore he enters
the ring, an.l will Insist on the same from
““"in conclusion. I wish ra say that ihls*
will be the only battle that has take"
p'$oe In years, under legitimate light
weight terms."
