. BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer y Tenn, Nov. 27.—As Medr as I can figure Riou I am here because a number of the stu- , dents at Southwestern University have been suffering from insomnia and the feeling is T inay be able to do something about it. You will understand this optimism better

I trust no -one outside the ‘Williams family will be moved to consider this a libelous statement, ~~ There was a time when this was ! the hottest sports tewn | sou of + Chicago, and being so it naturally » followed it was a red hot sporting town.

Good Diamond Town
§ Memphis always was a good base- . ball town: and still is. ‘In my time | down here the Southern Leagtie was ‘a haven for ol pitchers, .They'd {come down os the, majors all : washed up and: start all over again, i good for another 10 years. THe sun ‘ baked out the kinks in their pitch- | ing’ ‘muscles and from May on they | were just about as good as ever. Old ' Theodore Breitenstein must have ; bitched 40 years down here and he ! was older than The Command- | ments when he arrived. The present day club.owners don't . care about having the ancient gaffers around any more. They prefer ' to gamble on young material with . major lédgue prospects. "THEFe Is no. { re-sale value on an old pitcher who, , to be effective, must carry, his own ; sun. along with him. Herbert Cald- - well, the publicity man, tells me 1938 was the best season for sales. the league has had in a number of _ years. The Southern has sent up some splendid players in its time, include . Ing two of the greatest outfielders that ever played the game, namely, Tris Speaker and Joe Jackson. I’ : remember Speaker when he played : the outfield for Little Rock, and he , was gray haired even then. One | day I saw him make a double play ~at second base on a trapped fly in ' short center. I've never seen the . play duplicated since. ;
Tells of His Hero
i In those days the demon athletes used to stay at the old “Arlington . Hotel on Main-st and the young
' hero worshippers who were just be!
ginning to develop peach fuzz on their jowls would stand off at a discreet distance and gape in awe at the great men as they lolled about in their chairs of a summer's . eve in shirt sleeves. I hope I'm not turning Penrod on you but it ' was no small sensation at that. My hero then was Big Glen Leibhardt, who pitched for the home town team. . He was the iron man of the league. He pitched five double-headers one year d won nine of the games, I to sell
autographed pictures of him in the
bleachers and the grand stand at Red Elm Park. For all IT know it
~ may have been the beginning of the.

was a distiowing climax to a pan hood idolatry. By the ‘way, I think the agitation against the spit ball, which later ‘led to the abolition of this type of -delivery, was started in the Southern. I remember that Charlie Frank who
ran the New Orleans club (and de-
eloped Joe Jackson) led the fight here. - His fight had nothing to do with any handicap the hitters might suffer. ‘He said the pitch was offensive to. the ‘ladies. “Just' the word,” Mr. Frank would scream. “Just the word.” I've ‘since learned from the advertisements that it is an ugly word. For its size Memphis was a great fight town, too. At one time or another all the great ones shawed down here undeér the auspices of Billy Haack or Dog Hottum, Our first local idol was a light heavyweight, Izzy Choynski, called the Terrible Jew--and I’ ‘suspect for ‘reasons which were Eo tial. complimentary to his ring artis They - still. tell “about the fime Packey McFarland came to town fo meet Jack Britton. Packey got in from Chicago on a Sunday morning and three or four of ‘the local sports, including Mr. Choyngki, met him. Packey wanted to go to mass ims

car. In front of the church Packey gave the driver a $5 bill and said, “Keep the change.” . Mr. Choynski' was not ‘exactly an ardent student of Catholicism, but he was a good game guy, and in his own way a classy guy: In due course the . collection basket was passed. Mr. Ch had: the seat on the aisle.. He dug up a ‘$5 bill,
