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. It. I. League Standing: Atlanta. AB. R. H. PO A. E. Wlntara, rf. . 3 0 1 1 0 d Croilor, If. .. . 3 1 0 0 0 0 S.

MordeMI Brown, he of the three fingers, had the erstwhile Giants guessing nil the way. lb*-** Child* pitehed a superb game. 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 some good material. The Texas tongue Is rinsing Its season nnd good men ran Ik* picked up'cheap. Nig Clarke and Ulp Rea gan are two of the recent crack Southern Leaguers who esme from Texas. While Manager Smith I* away Otto Jor dan will l>e In charge of the team at Little Bock. Nothlug further ha* developed in the deal for Bow Hill Gannon. 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.

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 Southern championship of 1908 will ho held over It. Simpson, the new professional, has proved to be a most competent man. He plnys a grand game of golf, and is successful os nti Instructor. Under bis care, the piny- era and the course In Memphis are rapidly Improving.

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.
