SUDHOFF DRIVEN
INSANE BY BLOW OF
DEADLY BEAN BALL

st. Louis. July 22.-Wee Willie Sud
hoff one time star pitcher of the st.
Louis Americans is reported violently
insane in the city hospital. Physicians
said Sudhoff's condition was due to
some old injury to his head and base
ball men asserted Wee Willie was one
more added to the list of beanball vic
tins, recalling that he was struck on
the head with pitched ball in 1906.
Sudhoffs mania takes the shape of
trying to divest himself of all his
clothes which Is regarded by former
associates as a strange reversal of a
whim which he had after being in
jured in a railroad wreck when trav-
cling with the locals to Cleveland in
1904.
President Hedges of the Browns said
that never afterward would Sudhoff
remove his clothes when travelling.
Sudhoff, who is 3S years old, was in
his prime as pitcher in 1903. He
retired at the end of the season of
1905 ana went into the clothing busi-
ness. For three years he has worked
as an oiler at one of the water works
stations.

of faulty headwork has been accredited
to him. He is always in the game and
is one of the few players who does not
mind robbing himself of hit to gain
run for the club.
.Rube" Bentons effort to be placed
among the eccentrics cost him 500.
The southpaw decided that he would
take little pleasure trip without
notifying Manager Tinker and accord
ingly took French leave" He did
not leave a note. but told the play
ers that his sister was very i'll. The
Red leader wired to his home in North
Carolina and received a reply that
the Bentons were hale and healthy.
1nasmuch as Rube had said nothing
and the reply foreshadowed a mis-
statement. Tinker plastered a s10O
fine. But the southpaw did not draw
a suspension, as he was started yes
terday against Boston Such tactics
do not gain a player popularity or
respect.
Along with "Rube" Benton is Clar-
ence Smith. Just when the former
Baron was beginning to win favor, he
violated the rules of the game by
pitching for em-professional club
In Chicago. The manager heard of the
feats performed by a raw youngster
and investigated. Smith confessed
that he was the phenom who twired
the wonderful game for the amateurs.
Just what measures the White Sox
boss will take has not been an
nounced, but is is a certainty that he
will not have the former faith in his
young pitcher. 1t was intended that
Smith should be started regularly this
week, but this little matter may upset
his chance. 1t seems that Smith is
still a kid.
When the Interstate disorganlzed,
Nashville secured one of the leading
pitchers in Boland Johnny Seigle,
who managed Gadsden last season,
landed the youngster for the Volun-
teers and he will join the lowly Vols
Immediately. To make room for the
newcomer. Pitcher Breckenridge Will
be released
Dave Bunting was drawn from the
direlict circuit and will play at third
base. The deal for Pitcher Babe
Adams Is not being consummated and
it is probable that he will join the
Nashville club within a few days.
The trade was nearly completed when
Adams pitched a no-hit game. The
Savannah team then attempted to
boost the price, but Nashville baked.
When he reports, Earl Fleharty Will
draw the pink slip.

PROUGH OUT OF GAME
WITH SORE ARM WHEN
HE is NEEDEn MOST

n the midst of the most remark
able squirt in his career. 'Wee
Willie" Prough has developed a
sore arm. When Prough downed the
Gulls. his arm did not feel right, but
he stuck to his post. Following the
victory, which made him the premier
twirler of the Southern league, his
trusty whip grew sore. Although he
was expected to enter the box this
afternoon to capture the series, he will
not pitch.
The elongated right handler has been
a wonderful aid to the Barons. Prough
has won 15 games and has lost but L.
He has taken his turn regularly upon
the slab and is slated to go higher
The big fellow seems to have as much
stuff as any pitcher in the league and

But Prough will not be out of the
fray for long time. Sore arms fire.
quently develop during the season, but
are often soothed away within few
days. Reports indicate that the sore-
ness is slowly leaving his wing and
he will be i.ble to twirl before the
Memphis series is over. No one is
more anxious to pitch than Wee Will

lead and has confidence.

The uncompromising jinx, which has
followed the Barons consistently seems
to be lowering over camp again. In
fear of appendicitis, Pete Kniseley is
out of the game The center fielder
feels that should he venture when
bothered by the pain an operation will
be necessary However, Pete says that
he believes that it is cramps, as mem-
bers of his family are subject to this
malady.
1t is not the first time that the fear
of appendicitis has robbed the, Bar
ons of his playing. for when he was
in Mobile in June he was out of the
game for few days. Incidentally
Molesworth thought that he would be
deprived of the center garnner when
he consulted a doctor.
As soon as Kniseley felt the pain
Molesworth called for doctor, whom
he afterward learned to be a crank
on the appendix question. After con-
sulting Kniselcy the doctor put on

his most solemn look and went to con-
suit the Baron manager.
I'm afraid" said the M. d., that
I'll have to operate on your man. He
must be removed to the hospital inn
mediately." Molesworth said that sure
ly he could not be in real danger, but
the NJ d. answered in the affirmative.
So Moley felt that he must break the
news to his player and went to knise-
ley's room.
The chubby leader said that he asked
Kniseley if he had the necessary
amount of pajamas for his use at the
hospital. This awakened the Dutchman,
who asked why. When AIolesworth
broke the doctors finding Peter
jumped up in bed, said nothing doing
and that afternoon he played in the
game. Had he not believed that the
doctor knew little of his malady Knise-
ley would have Joined Fred Dilger. The
doctor announced that an immediate
operation was necessary.
1t is not believed that an operation
will be performed.

Montgomery, July 22.-(Special)-In a
game that was fast up to the seventh
inning, Montgomery won from the Barons
this afternoon, 5 to A. Foxen toed the
hill for Birmingham, and Case twirled for
Montgomery. Case was steady in the
pinches, while Foxen was wild He did
not give but one base on balls, but he
hit four batters. The only base on balls
he gave was in the eighth inning and
filled the bags, and he followed this by
hitting the next batter, forcing in Mont
gomery's fifth run.
The Barons put up an entirely diff
ferent game from what they played on
Monday afternoon, and the Montgomery
team outplayed them in every department.
Montgomery, however, really won the
game on 'ful<e. Mayer called for a
ball on the outside to throw to second
to catch Sloan off the bag, and ELAN
ran over to cover the bag for the throw.
Foxen crossed them up by growing the
pill, and Knaupp singled to left. Had
ELAN been in position it would have
been an easy out and possibly a double
