WILD CAREER
OF RUDDERHAM
Special to The Georgian.
Memphis. Tenn.,- Aug. , 22. -Umpire Hud
d**rhnm, who Is now generally regarded ns
the lw'st In the league, had ft narrow es
cape from being a Harvard mon.
When ••Uudily” was graduated from the
Quincy, Mass., high school he was a 16-
ycnr-old pitching wonder. Soon after his
graduation he was approached by agents of
the Iffirrnrd hartobAll team, who offered him
tils I Minn I ami tuition free provided he
would pitch for the Harvard team.
Hudflerham could not see It that way,
however, and drifted Into a shoe factory,
where he soon rose to it responsible post
tlon. The manner of ItU leaving the shoe
nninufncturlng business was dramatic,
was sent to a newly-opened factory to tench
the use of the machines to Some green op
erators. In throwing n licit onto a wheel
the nproii he was wearing caught In a piece
of shafting nnd Uudily was whisked around
In uild-nlr at the Imminent risk of breaking
neck. Before he Itecsine any more en
tangled In tile machinery Ills apron gnv
way nnd he was thrown with considerable
loleiice on the floor/
He Iny there for a while thinking It u
nud when lie picked lihuself up he
uotuiced that never again would he w
In n shoe factory, and lie never lias.
From the shoe niaiiiifiicturiiig business Bud
dy drifted into professional IniII. and had
many successful seasons ns n pitcher. Ills
best year was with Providence In the East
ern L-ngue. where lie pitehed 42 games and
lost only 6. •
It udder ha nt says he thinks the umpiring
habit has become chronic with him. In win
ter he runs a Itowllng alley In l\*midetice.

The first two years. Macon and Savannah

The big fellow Is mighty good when he is
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. "Hlh 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 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 off. They are going to win
all the gumes 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.
Secretary .McCullough Is much ufrald
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 mutter to
"cover” Babb oy having him 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 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 bv
draft of any of the other dubs.
It Is wonderful the number of root
ers the Atlanta team has In Memphis.
Whether the demonstration conies 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 frpm 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, nnd that kind of conduct Is appre
ciated.
"Rabbit” Plass Is playing a good
game In the outfield. He covers a
world of ground and Is a handy man
on bases.
The chunge 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 their new
positions.
MGR. BILLY SMITH GOES
SCOUTING THROUGH TEXAS
By PERCY WHITING.
Mpertnl to The Georgian.
Memphis, Tenn.. Aug. 22.—Hilly Smith
hns closed with Mowrey, wild to Ik* the
fastest outfielder In the Texas League, und
the new uinn Is expected to arrive almost
any old time.
Billy Kmlth start* out tonight on a scout
ing trip through Texas. Ho will 1* gone
three or four, days, and expect* to land

LEAGUE PENNANT FOR 1906
WILL FLY IN BIRMINGHAM
You may now congratulate Mr.
Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham, Ala.,
on achieving the pennant for his
town-folk. The Barons have won It.
It Is a 50 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
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.
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 reorganisation 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 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 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 outfield.
Atlanta Golfers Invited
to the Memphis Tournament
By PERCY WHITING.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.—The Memphis
Country Club will give an Imitation golf
tournament over Its new course September
to 15, and Memphis players exp«»?t
Jhnt Atlanta will he liberally represcuted
ut the event.
r’e are always strong on tournaments
nnd generally send delegations to all tour
naments.'' said Jijf k h'drlngton, Memphis'
best golfer, here yesterday. "And we will
do that for the next Southern champion
ship In Atlanta. But wc expect that the
Atlanta players will reciprocate by turning
well for our toumniueut here next
month.'*, ■
The program of the Meitiphls tournament
follows:
Thursday, September 13— Morning.
Qualifying round, IS holes, medal play;
cup for lowest score and cup for second.
‘ team match of four men from each
re present etf will be played at aaiue
time, with handsome cup for winning club.
This qualifying round Is to divide the play
ers Into three classes. . The lowest sixteen
qualify In Class’ A; the second sixteen In
Class II, and the third sixteen In Class C.
Class A prises: Buntyu cup'to first; cup
runner-up. Clans II prises: DeHoto
cup to first; cup to runner-up. Class C
prises: Consolation cup to wluner; cup to
riMinor-tip.
Thursday, September 13—Afternoon.
Fi rst rounds for classes A, It a ml C.
Friday, September 14—Morning.
Second rounds for classes A. It nnd C;
scmi-flnnis for classes A, B and C, nml
"Dead Duck” handicap.
Saturday, September 15—Morning.
Handicap, 18 holes, medal piny; cup to
lowest gross score; cup to lowest net
score. Finals lu classes A, B nml c.
The new Memphis course undoubtedly
ranks among the best In the South, nml the
putting greens are undoubtedly the best.
Nine holes are now In good condltlou, nml
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 la naturnt hazards,
nnd will uot have as good a fnir green.
The soli Is clay, and bakes ns hard ns a
chunk of rock In dry weather. It is t
good course, however, and undoubtedly the

NOT ILLEGAL
By PERCY WHITING.
Special to The Georgian.
Memphis. Tenn., Aug. 22.—The Birming
ham club can keep Shortstop Castro. Such
Is the ruling of (’resident Knvannugh.
A local newspaper wired Judge Knva-
rnttigb, asking If It was within the rules to
tunic a sale of a player within the last
thirty day* of the playing season. The
president anmumoed tbnt It was the enttom
to allow such sales provide they were made
In good faith. The loaning of players Is
forbidden, but l>ona fide sales are not pro
hibited.
This decision was contrary to the opinions
of Managers Smith and Finn, but It may be
regarded ns finnl.

Goldfield. Nev., Aug. 22.—Bobble I.nmjy
arrived this morning, looking ns husky ns
a mountain lion, and ns clear-eyed os the
desert atmosphere.
He nnd Clifford will train with Nelson.
Both meu took n turn with Nelson, spar
ring two rounds ench. There Is some ob
jection to the two men working In the
name camp, but for the present there Is
i» other place.
Gnus did his iiMunl stunt on the road nnd
in doors. There were no unusual Inci
dents.
Billy Nolan umde the first statement to*
day:
•Everything Is going on smoothly, and
after one week of hard work, the Rattler
hns rhown that the high altitude here does
not affect him lu the least. He Is working
Just nn hard nnd ns faithfully for this con
test a* he ha* for any In the past.
"N>!son tipped the nenles at 133 pounds
today, which I* evidence that the question
eight won't trouble him. In fact, he
make 130 pounds readily at the ring
side."
There have lM*en many stories floating
around to the effect that everything I* not
going right In the coining luittle, hut they
have had no effect on the general public,
Judging from the advance »nle of sent*.
It may Ik* said here that the Nelsou-Gans
contest will draw more reputable si»drt-
lug men from all over the country than
any other contest that hns ever taken
place. Already enough seats have been
ordered to pay the purse of $30,000, nnd Tex
Rickard, the manager of the Goldfield Ath
letic Ciub, said today that a handful of
subscriber* who donated the purse and $12.*
000 are perfectly satisfied to have th#
contest come off here If thsy don’t recetvs
a cent on the original Investment.
Hlckard says he will post $2,600 ns n for*
felt to nny charitable Institution If nny
one can truthfully say that the fight was
not on the square, and that he will lenT#
It to the newspaper reportera at the ring*
side.
"The $10,000 that I demanded ns a purs#
for Nelson to meet Oans Is posted with
the stakeholder," f said Nolan. "You ran
bank your life on It that from our end
nothing hut a square contest will take
place. If we win, we want to receive the
credit that Is due the Dane. On the other
hand. If the negro wins, he will be the un
disputed lightweight champion of the world,
nnd no other lightweight has a living
chance with him. As between Nelson and
Gans, they have beaten decisively every
133-pound man In the world of any class.
"Nelson Is confident of vlctoty, and will
have no excuse to offer In case of defeat.
He will give a statement over his own sig
nature as to his condition before he enters
the ring, nnd will Insist on the same from
"In conclusion, I wish to gay that thl*
will be the only battle that has taken
p!$ce In years under legitimate light’
weight terms."
