WILD CAREER
OF RUDDERHAM
Hpoclal to The Georgian.
Memphis. Tenn., Aug. 22.—Umpire Hud
del hnhi, who Is now generally regarded ss
the l»est In the league, hnd it narrow cs
enjH> from being s Harvard man.
When "Ruddy" was graduated from the
tjulnry. Muss., high srhool he was
year-old pitching wonder. Soon after his
graduation he was approached by agents of
the Harvard, baseball team, who offered him
his Iniaril nnd tuition free provided he
would pitch for the Harvard team.
Itudderhum could not sec It that way
however, mid drifted Into a shoe factory,
where lie soon rose to a reM|H»uslhle posi
tion. The inn niter of his leaving the shoe
manufacturing business was dramatic,
was sent to a newly-opened factory to tench
the use of the machines to some green op
erators. In throwing a belt onto a wheel
the npicii he was wearing caught In a pleee
of shafting nnd Ituddy was whisked around
In mld-nlr at the imminent risk of breaking
his neck. Before he Jiecnuie any more en
tangled in the machinery Ills apron gave
way nnd lie was thrown with considerable
violence on the floor.
He lay there for a while thinking It over,
nnd when lie picked himself up he an
nounced flint never again would he worl.
In a shoe factory, and he never has.
From the sins* iiianufiietiirlugbusiness Rud
dy drifted Into protenslmiii! ball, and had
many successful seasons as a pitcher. Ills
beat year was with iMovIdeiifo In the East-

STRAY NOTES
OF BASEBALL
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. v
"He had nothing against us Sunday,"
said Jim Fox. "HU 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 hlinself. 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 games 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.
Hecretnry McCullough la much afraid
that Manager Babb nitty 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 hint 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 U
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 clubs.
It Is wonderful the number of root
ers the Atlnntn 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 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 po
lar here, anyway. Local fans say t
the players have always behaved in a
gentlemanly manner nnd played good
ball, and that kind of conduct is appro
elated.
"Rabbit" Plass 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 better than Evers behind
the bat. and Evers and Hoffman are
doing satisfactory work in tbelr new
positions.

CASTRO SALE
NOT ILLEGAL
You may now congratulate Mr.
Harry Vaughan, of Birmingham, Ala.,
on achieving the pennant for his
town-folk. The Baron* have won It.
It is a GO to 1 shot that no team will
ever ho able to catch the fleet-footed
Alabamans.
Tuesday's double-jointed victory
over Shreveport made It practically a
cinch for Birmingham. The' team
now ha* 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
».
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 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 the same time charges of
unfairness or crooked work have
seldom been brought and never prored
against the town.
The club ownors 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 be 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.. Auff. 22.—The Memphis
Country Club will give an luvltatloii golf
tournament over Its new course 8epteml>er
13 to 15. and Memphis players expit*t
that Atlanta will 1h* UlK*rnlIy represented
at the event.
"We nre always strong on tournaments
and generally 'send delegations to nil tour
naments," said Jack Edrlngtou, Memphis’
best golfer, here yesterday. "Aud we will
do thnt for the uext Southern ehnniplon-
ship tn Atlnntn. Hut wo expect that the
Atlnntn players will reciprocate by turning
out well for our tournament here next
month/*
The program of the Mertiphls tournament
follows:
Thursday, September 13— Morning.
Qualifying round. 18 holes, tuedftl piny;
cup for lowest score aud eup for second.
A team match of four men front each
club represented will he played at same
time, with handsome eup for winning club.
This qualifying round Is to divide the piny-
Into three elnsse*. The lowest sixteen
qualify In Class A; the aecond sixteen In
is II, nml the third sixteen In ClnM C.
Class A prises: Httntyii eup to first; cup
to runner-up. Class H prises: Defioto
eup to first; eup to runner-up. Class C
prises: Coiisolatlou cup to wluuer; cup to
run ner-up.
Thursday, September 13—Afternoon.
First rouuds for classes A, II nud c.
Friday, September 14—Morning.
Heeotul rounds for classes A. II nml C;
semi-finals for classes A, R nnd C, nnd
"Dead Duck" handicap.
Saturday, 8eptambar 15—Morning.
Handicap, 18 holes, medal piny; cup tn
lowest gross score; cup to lowest net
score. Finals In classes A, H nud C.
The new Memphis course undoubtedly
ranks among the beat In the Houth, nnd the
putting greens are undoubtedly the )«>*{.
Nine hole* nre now In good condition, nnd
nine more hnve been laid out already.
It Is doubtful If the Memphis course
will ever compare with the new Atlanta
course. It Is lacking In natural hazards,
nnd will uot have as good a fair green.
The soil Is clay, and bakes ns hard as a
chunk of rock In dry weather. It Is a
good course, however, nnd undoubtedly the
Southern championship of 1938 will Ik* held
over It.
Hlmpson, the new professional, ha* proved
to be a most competent man. lie piny*
a grand game of golf, and Is meeeufnl
n Instructor. Under bis care, the play
ers and the course In Memphis are rapidly
Improving.

He and Clifford will train with Nelson.
Roth men t«Kik a turn with Nelson, spar

jection to the two men working In the
same camp, but for the present there Is
no other place.
Gnus did Ids UHtinl stunt on the road nnd
In doors. There were iio unusual Inci
dents.
Hilly Nolan made the first statement to
day:
Everything Is going on smoothly, and

Just ns hard nnd ns faithfully for this con

Nelson tipped the snites at 133 pnuntls
today, which Is evidence that the question
of weight won’t trouble him. In fact, he
can 'make 139 pounds readily at the ring-
ride." *
