Memphis. Tenn., Aug. 22.—Umpire Hud- derhsni, who Is now generally regarded ss 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. however, and drifted Into a ahoe faotory, where he aoon rose to a responsible posi- tloii. The manner of his leaving the shoe manufacturing business was dramatic, was sent to a newly-o|iened factory to teach the use of the machines to some green op era tors. In throwing 11 belt onto a wheel the apron he was wearing caught In a piece of shafting and Buddy was whisked around In tnld-nlr at the Imminent risk of breaking his neck. Before he liecnmc any more en tangled In the machinery bla apron gave way and he was thrown with considerable violence on the floor. • He lav there for a while thinking It over, and when he picked himself up he an iiohneed that never again would he wor). shoe factory, and he never has.- . . .mu the ahoe tiiniinfacttirlngbualiiessBnd- dy drifted Into professional ball, and had many sueccasftil seasons as a pitcher, ilia best year whs with Providence In the East ern League, where he pitched 42 gnmes and lost only 6.

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.

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. > MGR.

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.
