The fans in Nashville are evidently sore Hub" Perdue.
 Several days ago President Hirsig issued statement to the effect that he had nothing to do with the sale of Perdue and that the pitcher comes to Birmingham through an agreement reached between Birmingham and ex-President Kuhn.
 This statement brought out the follow ing from Kuhn:
 'Inasmuch as there has been some mis- understanding caused by the publication Of statements regarding the sale of Hub Purdue to Birmingham, MT Ferd Kuhn, last years president of the Nashville club. was seen yesterday and stated that these were the facts in the case:
 "Perdue was drafted by the Brooklyn club September l, 1910, or 15 days before the close of our league. Some weeks later I received letter from MT. Ebbetts, president of the Brooklyn club, asking if we wanted to get Hub Perdue back. He stated that he heard that he was very LOOT fielder. After consultation with MT. Bernhard, I notified him that 1 would give him an answer in the spring. On re- ceipt of this letter he wired that he would have to reduce the number of his players within the following week, and unless we wanted the return of Perdue, asked per mission to place him in some class A league MT Bernhard and 1 were of the impression that Perdue was drafted foi Atlanta. I wired MT. Ebbetts. in response to his telegram. that we did not object to his placing Perdue in some class A league, provided he was not returned te

UNDERSTOOD THAT TRIP OF HOADLEY-G GREENFIELD PARTY IS ABOUT AT AN END-BOND ISSUE RUMORS

The party of industrial investigators, headed by Cecil Grenfell of London, chairman of the directors of the South ern Iron and Steel company, and J. H. Hoadley, president of the Alabama Con- solidated Coal company, returned to Bir- mingham yesterday
 The party has been to Tuscaloosa Mont gomery and New Orleans since visiting Birmingham, and it is now understood that they are en route to the east.
 The party occupied their private car, Twilight, on the Queen and Crescent route arriving yesterday morning at o'clock. They repaired to the Hillman and later
 held an extended conference in the offices
 of Vice President James Bowron of the
 Southern Iron and Steel company. The party will be here probably few days, during which time conferences will
 be more largely dealt in than trips of inspection. It is stated that almost all of the properties of both companies has been looked over minutely.
 The suggestion was made yesterday in industrial circles that perhaps there was a deal on hand to float bond issue for one of the companies to which specula- tion has been directed However, confir- nation of such a plan was lacking. MT. Hoadley would not discuss the trip yesterday further than to reiterate a de- sire to show some eastern persons how great this district is. and how immense ly valuable are the holdings here of all industrial companies.

the Southern league Ebbetts replied that he would not be bound by this agreement, and unless heard from in a few days would dispose of the player. MT. Bern hard thereupon wired the Boston club to claim Perdue in the event waivers were asked on him by Brooklyn. This was no doubt the reason Boston took the player.
 Some time during the winter MT. Molesworth, manager of the Birmingham club, came to Nashville to attend pony sale and while we were discussing base ball matters I gave him the history of what had occurred in relation to Perdae. He stated that if we did not want Per due the Birmingham club would be glad to get him, and made us an offer of sl2OO for the player. He agreed, after consult ing with the president of his club, to wire the next day. The following day MT. Baugh, the president of the Birmingham club. wired that he would take Perdue if we could get him back from Brooklyn. brought the matter before our board of directors and they unanimously agreed that 1t would be to the interest of our club to take Perdue back. We agreed to sell him to Birmingham if he was returned to us. When Brooklyn asked for waivers he was claimed by Boston.
 While Mr. Hirsig was attending the league meeting at New Orleans, I re- ceived a letter from MT. Ebbetts. stating that Boston was asking for waivers on Perdue and desired to know if we still wanted the player I wired this informa- ton to Mir Hirsig at New Orleans and requested him to communicate his desires to M. Ebbetts."
