Memphis. Tenn, March 1.-lSpecial.l Because his three outfelders and four infelders went into a game in an intoxicated condition on the occasion of former game in the famous grape belt" of New York State. James Gar rity. promising young pitcher signed by Memphis for the coming season, made up his mind that he would never touch drink of any kind and has stuck to his pledge.
 Garrity noticed the effect. of the raw grape juice on his companions during the game mentioned. He says they made twelve errors but that he and his catcher did most of the work and won. He decided, however, that if the unformented grape had such disastrous effects on ball players, that the fer mented might work greater disaster and he has been a prohibitionist ever since.
 Manager Babb of the local team be- lieves he will have more prohibition ists signed this year than Birmingham towns while Memphis is yet wet.
 Babb says that at least eight men are tetoolalers including Gary. Garri- ty, Stockdale, McKenna, Donahue, Saw idRe. Cox and Cranston.
