Although John a. Heydler generally IS
regarded as a capable successor TO the
late II. c. Pulham as president OF the
National League. il is understood that
Hermann, who seems 10 be a busy base
ball politician. is opposed 10 his re-elec-
ton at the meeting IN December Herr
mann, for some reason, says that Heyd-
Ter is not big enough for the position,
but this does not seem TO be the impress
sion in other quarters. Whether Herr
mann has a candidate or not, one cannot
say just now, but it is accepted as true
that Hermann is supported in his con-
tention by Murphy. Of Chicago, and Eb-
belts, Of Brooklyn.
But there are nc indications on the
surface that Pittsburg. Boston, PhUadel-
phia, and St Louis viii consent to the
turning down OF Heydler. Brush, Of New
York, is nOncommittal. II Is said that ha
has candidate for the position but that
the latter stands alone. c. D. White and

mise candidates, while several other Of
