Memphis. 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. In win
ter he runs a Howling alley In Providence,

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.

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.

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.

a grand game of golf, and la successful
ae an Instructor. Under hie care, the play

Nelson-Gans Fight Will Draw
Biggest Crowd of the Century
By I’rlvate Leased Wire.
Goldfield. 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.
Rickard says he will yo#t $2.&>) a* a for
feit to nny charitable Institution If any
one ran truthfully say that the fight wns
not on the square, and thnt lie will leave
It to the newspaper reporter# nt the ring
side.
"The $30,000-that I demanded tie s purse
for Nelson to meet Gans Is posted with
tlif stakeholder,", snld \Nolan. "You ran
bank your life on It thnt from our end
nothing but n square eonteat will take
place. If we win, we want to receive the
ennllt that le due tlie Dane. On the other
hand. If the negro wins, lie will lie the un
disputed lightweight champion of tbe world,
and no other lightweight- hs* s living
chance with him. A* liefween' Nelson and
Gnns, they have lienten decisively every
133 pound man in the world of any class.
"Nelson Is confident of victory, and will
hnve no excuse to offer In case of defeat.
He will give a statement over hla own sig
nature ns to bis condition before he enters
the ring, amj will Insist on tbe same from
Gnns. . ....
"In conclusion. 1 wish to any that this
will lie the only Iwittlc Chat lies' * nk 1 f , n
