WILD CAREER OF RUDDERHAM Special to The Georgian. Memphis. Tenn.. Aug. 21—Umpire Hud- derhsm. who Is now generally regarded as the heat In the lengue, had a narrow es 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. In a shoe factory. ami he never has.

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 to runner-up. Class B prises: DeRoto cup to first; cup to runner-up. Class C prlxes: Consolation cup to winner; cup to runner-up. Thursday, September 13—Afternoon. First rounds for classes A, H and C. Friday, September 14—Morning. Second rounds for classes A.

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. Nelson-Gans Fight Will Draw Biggest Crowd of the Century MGR. BILLY SMITH GOES SCOUTING THROUGH TEXAS .

"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.
