Special to The Georgian.
Memphis. Tenn.. Aug. 21—Umpire Hud-

cape from belrfir a Harvard man.
When ••Ihiddy" waa graduated from 4h*
Quincy, Mass., high school be urns a 14-
yesr-old pitching wonder. Konn after Ida
graduation he was approached by agents of
the Harvard baseball team, who offered him
Ills lioaril and tuition free provided he
would pitch for the Harvard team.
Rndderham rouMt not aee It that way.
however, and drifted Into a shoe factory,
where lie anon rose to a responsible posi
tion. The manner of his leaving the shoe
manufacturing business waa dramatic. He
waa sent to a newly-opened factory to teaeb
the use of the machines to some green op
erators. In throwing n l*elt onto a wheel
the apron he was wearing caught In n piece
of shafting and buddy waa whisked around
In inld-nlr at the Imminent risk of breaking
his neck. Before he Ik*came any more en
tangled In the machinery hla apron gave
way. and he waa thrown with considerable
violence on the floor.
He lay there for a while thinking It over,
and when lie picket! himself up he an
nounced that never again would he wort.

“Doc" Childs pitched a super!)
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 agalnat ua Sfinday,"
said Jim Fox. "Hla curve wasn't much
and hla speed wag locking. He tried to
pass me twteo, but I wouldn't let him."
'TU 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 bitched 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 gamea 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 thay 'will be, but will
go bond that no deal haa been closed.
Secretary McCullough la much afraid
that Manager Babb may be lost to the
team by draft or otherwise. If things
were now aa they have been In the
paat, It would be an easy matter to
"cover" Babb t>y having him drafted
by aome major league club. Now, how
ever, it la necessary to get waivers
from all the major league clubs on
players drafted or sold, and that la
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 he 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.
lit 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 uncerta4n, but certain
It la that there Is lots of yelling for the
Atlanta club from Memphis bleachers
and grandstands. i
The Atlanta club Is deservedly popu
lar here, anyway. Local fans say that
tho players have always behaved In a
gentlemanly manner and played good
ball, that kind of conduct is appre
ciated.
■ "Rabbit" Pjgss 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 batter than Evers behind
the bat, 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 Barona have won It.
It Is a 50 to l shot that no team will
ever be able to catch the fleet-footetl
Alabamans.
Tuesday's double-jointed victory
over Shreveport made It practically a
cinch for Birmingham. The team
now hai a lead of flfty-aeven points
over Memphli, Ita nearest competi
tor. Those flfty-aeven polnta mean a
difference of eleven games. Thla
with the aeaion less than a month to
«o. ,
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 «
pennant more than Atlanta that town
Is Birmingham.
Ever since the reorganization of the
Southern League In 1901, Birmingham
has bsfen one of the bulwarks of the
lesgue. While the fans and the base
ball writers have at times got pretty
rabid, at the tame 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 one
thing or another has always Inter
posed to disappoint them, they have
got It at laat. 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 Infletd and a heavy
hitting outfield.
Atlanta Golfers Invited
to the Memphis Tournament
By PERCY WHITING.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.—The Memphis
Country Club will give an Invitation golf
tournament over Its new course September
13 to 15, and Memphis players expo’t
that Atlanta will be liberally represented
ut the event.
> sre always strong on tournaments
and generally send delegations to all tour
naments." said Jack Edrlngton, Memphis'
liest golfer, here yesterday. "And we will
do that for the next Southern champion
ship In Atlanta. Hut we expect that the
Atlanta ptayera.will reciprocate by turning
out well for our tournament here next
month.".
T^hufoday, Saptembar 13—Morning.
Qualifying round, 18 hules, medal play;
cup for lowest score and cup for second.
team match of four men from each
club represented will be played at same
time, with handsome cup for winning club.
Thla qualifying round la to divide the play
ers Into three classes. The lowest sixteen
qualify In Class A; the second sixteen In
Class n, and the third sixteen In Class C.
Maas A prises: Huutyu enp to first; cap

Saturday, September 15—Morning.
Handicap, 18 holes, medal play; cup to
lowest gross score; cup to lowest net.
score. Finals In classes A, B and C.
The new Memphla course undoubtedly
ranks among the lieat In the South, and the
putting greena are undoubtedly the l»at.
Nine holes are now In good condltlou, nnd
nine more have been laid ont already.
It Is doubtful If the Memphis course
will ever compare with tho now Atlanta
course. It Is lacking In natural bninnls,
and will uot have sa good a fair green.
The soil la clay, nnd bakes ns bard ns a
chunk of rock In dry weather. It la a
good course, however, and undoubtedly the
Southern championship of 1918 will lie held
over It.
Simpson, the new professional, has proved
to lie a most competent man. lie plays
grand game of golf, and la lUcrcMful
as an Instructor. Under tils care, the play
ers ,nnd the course In Memphis are rapidly
Improving.

Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.—'The Binning-

Is the ruling of President Kavanaugh.
A local newspaper orlrad Judge Kara-

lie and (Mlfford will train with Nelson.
Both men took a turn with Nelson, spar
ring two rounds each. There la some ob
jection *to the two men working lu the
same camp, but for the present thero la
no other place. .
Onna did hla nsunl stunt on the road nnd
In doors. There were uo unusual Inci
dents.
Hilly Nolan nmdc the first statement to*
day:
"Everything Is going on smoothly, and
after one week,of hard work, the nattier
has rhown that the high altitude here does
not affect him In the lenst. lie Is wdrklng
Just as hard and ns fnlthftilly for this con
test ns he has for any In the past.
"Nelson tipped the *<'iile* at 133 pounds
today, which Is evidence that the question
of weight won’t trouble him. In fact, be
i*nn make 130 pounds readily at the ring
side." .
There have been many stories floating
nround to the effect that everything Is not
going right In the coming Imttle, but they
hare had no effect on the general public,
judging from the advance sale of scots.
It tuny l»e said here that the Nclson-Gnns
contest will dr/iw more reputable s|H»rt-
Ing men from nil over tne country than
any other contest that has ever taken
place. Already enough seats have Ixvn
ordered to pay the purse of 230,000, nnd Trx
lllrkard, the ftinnsger of the Goldfield Ath
letic Club, said today that a handful of
subscribers who donated the purse nnd $12,-
000 are perfectly- satisfied to have the
contest com# off here If they don’t recelT*
a cent on the original Investment.
Itlckard says he will post 12.500 ss a for-
felt to any charitable .Institution If any
one can truthfully say that the fight was
not on the square, and thnt he will leave
It to the newspaper reporters nt the ring
side.
•The 130,000 thnt I demanded ns a purse
for Nelson to meet'Gnus Is posted-with
the stakeholder," pnld Nolan. "You ••nn
bonk your life on It that from our end
nothing but a square contest will tnfce
place. If wo win. we want to receive the
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,
and no other lightweight has a living
chance with him. Aa lietween Nel*4>n and
Gnns. they have beaten decisively, every
133-pound roan In the world of any class.
Nelson Is confident of rletory, ami will
have no excuse to offer In rnso of defo.it.
He will give a statement over hi*, own sig
nature as to his condition before he enters
the ring, and will Insist on the same from
(Inna.
"In eonelualon. I wish to say that this
will be the only battle that has taken
p|ce In years under legitimate light
weight terms."
