Liebhardt is Going Back Atlanta Players Believe 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," said Jim Fox. ”HI» curve wasn't much and ht« speed was lacking. He tried to pass me twice, but j. 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 have pitched Liebhardt too much. They have got him sold and they don’t care If he pitches both arma and a leg off. They are going to win all the games they can wUhJlim and let It go at that. " go bond that no deal has beei. Secretary McCullough la much afraid that Manager Babb may be lost to the team by draft or otherwise. If things were now us they have been In the liaat. It would he 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 duty 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 eecm to be possible to have some man draft ed who would not be wanted by ahy of the clubs In the big leagues. Thla would protect the club from loaa bv draft of any of the other clubs. U la wonderful the number of root- era the Atlanta team has In Memphis. Whether the demonstration comes from local men who have bet against the home club or from travelera who want some aueh insane of proving that they are not nutlvea I* uncertain, but certain It la that there la lota of yelling for the Atlanta club from Memphis bleachers and grandstands. gentlemanly manner and played good hall, and Dial kind of conduct I* appre ciated. “Rabbit'' Plans Is- playing a good game In the outfield. He covers n world nf, ground and Is a handy man on bases. The chnnge nf 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 switch. This combination led off with a victory and worked nice ly.' Smith Is better than Evers behind the hat. and Evers and Hoffman are doing satisfactory work In their, new positions. LEAGUE PENNANT FOR 1906 WILL FLY IN BIRMINGHAM You may now congratulate Mr. Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham, Ala., on achieving the pennant for hla town-folk. The Barons have won It. It Is a 50 to 1 shot that no team will ever |>e able to catch the fleet-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. , ' v 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 reorganization of the Southern League In 1801, Birmingham has been oqe 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 agalnat the town. , The club ownors have always been willing to put out money for a win ner and although In the past ont 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 la n good manager be cause ho has gathered a winning team, a team made up of strong pitchers, a fast infield and a heavy hitting outfield. Atlarita Golfers Invited to the Memphis Tournament By PERCY WHITING. Memphis. Tenn.. Atif. 22.—'The Memphis ’otpitry «*Iul» # will give nil luvltatlon golf tournament over Its new course September 12 to 15, iiimI Memphis players expirt thnt Atlanta will lie llticrnlly represented lit the event. “We are always strong on tournaments and generally semi delegations to all tour naments." said Jack Ertrlngton. Memphis* Iw'St golfer, here yesterday. "And we will do that for the next Southern champion ship In Atlsut*'. But vfe expect that the Atlanta players will reciprocate by turning out well for our tournament here next monjth." The t>fogrntn of tie Memphis tournament follows: • Thursday, September 13— Morning. .Qualifying round, 18 holes, medal play; up for lowest score and cup for secoud. team match of four men from each •lub represented will be played at same time, with handsome cup for winning club. This qualifying round Is to divide the play ers Into three classes. The lowest sixteen junllfy In Haas A; the second sixteen In ’In** It,,and the third sixteen In Class C.

Finals In classes A, R and C. The new Memphis .course undoubtedly rauks among the best In the South, and the putting greens are undoubtedly the In»m. Niue holes are now In* good condition, and nine more have been laid out already. It Is doubtful If the Memphis course will ever compare with the new Atlanta course. It Is lacking In natural hazard#, and will uot have os good a fair green. The soli la clay, atul bakes as bard ai a chunk of rock In dry weather. It Is a good course, however, and undoubtedly th# Boutheru championship of 1908 will be held orer It. ' Simpson, the new professional, his proved to be a most compptent man...

Both men took a turn with Nelson, spar ring two rounds each. There Is Some ol»- Jectlon to the two men working lu ‘the same camp, but for the present there Is no ether plnre. Gnus did his usual stunt on the road and lu doors. There were . no unusual Inci dents. , Billy Nolan ntndu the flrst statement to day: "Everything Is going on smoothly, and after one week.of hard work, the Battler has rtmwu that the high altitude here does uot affect him In the least. He Is working Just ns hard snd ns faithfully for this con test ns he has for any In the past. "Nelson tlp|N>d the s«*nles at 133 pounds today, which Is evidence thnt the question of weight won’t trouble him. In fset, he can make 110 pounds readily at the ring side." There have been many stories floating sround to the effect thnt everything In not going right In file coming Imttle, but they have hud no effect on the general public, Judging from the ndvnuco sale of scats. It may In* said here that the Nelson-Gsns contest will draw more reputable s|M>rt- Infg men from all over the country than auy other contest that han ever taken place.

"Yot bank your life on It that from our en«l nothing but a squaw* contest will take plsce. If we win, wo want to receive th# credit that Is due the Dane. On the other hand, If the negro wins, he will be the un disputed lightweight champion of the world, snd no other lightweight has a IB Inf chance with him. As between Nelson and Gens, they have beaten decisively every 138-pound men In tbs world of sny class. 'Nelson Is confident of victory, and win have no excuse to offer In esse of defeat.
