Tenn., Aug. 22.—Umpire Hud del hnhi, who Is now generally regarded ss the l»est In the league, hnd it narrow cs enjH> from being s Harvard man. When "Ruddy" was graduated from the tjulnry. Muss., high srhool he was year-old pitching wonder. Soon after his graduation he was approached by agents of the Harvard, baseball team, who offered him his Iniaril nnd tuition free provided he would pitch for the Harvard team. Itudderhum could not sec It that way however, mid drifted Into a shoe factory, where lie soon rose to a reM|H»uslhle posi tion. The inn niter of his leaving the shoe manufacturing business was dramatic, was sent to a newly-opened factory to tench the use of the machines to some green op erators. In throwing a belt onto a wheel the npicii he was wearing caught In a pleee of shafting nnd Ituddy was whisked around In mld-nlr at the imminent risk of breaking his neck. Before he Jiecnuie any more en tangled in the machinery Ills apron gave way nnd lie was thrown with considerable violence on the floor. He lay there for a while thinking It over, nnd when lie picked himself up he an nounced flint never again would he worl. In a shoe factory, and he never has.

STRAY NOTES OF BASEBALL 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. v "He had nothing against us Sunday," said Jim Fox. "HU curve wasn’t much and his 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 hlinself. 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 Secretary 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. Hecretnry McCullough la much afraid that Manager Babb nitty 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 hint drafted by some major league club. Now, how ever, It Is necessary to get waivers from, all the major league clubs on players drafted or sold, and that U 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 bv draft of any of the other clubs. It Is wonderful the number of root ers the Atlnntn 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 po lar here, anyway. Local fans say t the players have always behaved in a gentlemanly manner nnd played good ball, and that kind of conduct is appro elated. "Rabbit" Plass Is playing a 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 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 bat. and Evers and Hoffman are doing satisfactory work in tbelr new positions. MGR.

CASTRO SALE NOT ILLEGAL You may now congratulate Mr. Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham, Ala., on achieving the pennant for his town-folk. The Baron* have won It. It is a GO to 1 shot that no team will ever ho able to catch the fleet-footed Alabamans. Tuesday's double-jointed victory over Shreveport made It practically a cinch for Birmingham. The' team now ha* 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 ». 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 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 prored against the town. The club ownors have always been willing to put out money for a win- ner and although In the past one 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 be has gathered a winning team, a team made up of strong pitchers, a fast Infield and a heavy hitting outfield.

Auff. 22.—The Memphis Country Club will give an luvltatloii golf tournament over Its new course 8epteml>er 13 to 15. and Memphis players expit*t that Atlanta will 1h* UlK*rnlIy represented at the event. "We nre always strong on tournaments and generally 'send delegations to nil tour naments," said Jack Edrlngtou, Memphis’ best golfer, here yesterday. "Aud we will do thnt for the uext Southern ehnniplon- ship tn Atlnntn.

Aug. 22.—Hobble Lundy arrived this morning, looking as husky ns mountain flon, and ns clear-eyed as the desert, atmosphere. He and Clifford will train with Nelson. Roth men t«Kik a turn with Nelson, spar ring two rounds each. There is some ob jection to the two men working In the same camp, but for the present there Is no other place. Gnus did Ids UHtinl stunt on the road nnd In doors. There were iio unusual Inci dents. Hilly Nolan made the first statement to day: Everything Is going on smoothly, and after one week of hard work, the lint tier has shown that the high attitude here doe* not affect him In the least. He la working Just ns hard nnd ns faithfully for this con test ns he has for any In the past. Nelson tipped the snites at 133 pnuntls today, which Is evidence that the question of weight won’t trouble him. In fact, he can 'make 139 pounds readily at the ring- ride." * There have Imm»i» many stories floating around to the effect thnt everything Is not going right In the coining tattle, but they hnve had m» effect on the gcuernl public. Judging from the ndvnnce ante of neat/. It may In* said here thnt the Nelson-Gnns content will draw more reputable sport ing men from nil over the country tbnn any other contest that hns ever taken place. Already enough aeata hare been ordered to pay the puree of 130.000, nnd To* Rickard, the manager of the Goldfield Ath letic Club, sahl today that a handful of subocrlliers who donated the purse and $12,- 000 . aro perfectly satisfied to hnve th* contest come off here If they don't receive a cent on the original Investment. Rickard saya he will post 12.500 n» a for feit to any charitable Institution If nny one can truthfully aay that the fight w«* not on the square, and that he will leave It to the newspaper reporters at the ring side. "The 130,000 that I demanded n* n purse for Nelson to meet Gau* la posted with the stakeholder," said Nolan. "You cun tank your life on It that from our end nothlug but a square contest will take place. If we win, we want to receive the credit that la due the Dane. On the other hand, If the negro wlna, he will be the un disputed lightweight champion of the world, and no other lightweight has a living chance with him. As between Nelson and Gans, they have beaten decisively every 133 pound man In the world of any das*. "Nelson Is confident of victory, and will hnve no excuse to offer In case of defeat. He will give a atatement over his own *lf* nature ns to his condition before he enter* the ring, and will Insist on the same from "In conclusion.
