SELMA'S CHANGE
 TO WIN PENNANT

Anniston, August Especial )-While Anniston and Gadsden have been scrap ping for first honors in the race for the Southeastern flag, that Savidge- Howard bunch down at Selma now stands a good chance of winning the flag.
 With the close of Tuesday games, Sel- ma fingered only E points behind Gads- den and but T points behind Anniston. The Centralites are one of the best ag- gregations in the league, Mac Robinson, Savidge and Adams being on a par with the leagues best pitchers, McAllster be- ing one of the best catchers Chancey the hardest hitter in the league, and the general team work excellent. Five straight games have just been won from Decatur. and it was Selma that started Anniston to slipping and gave Gadsden lead a few weeks ago.
 Selma has three more games with De- catur during the last week of this month with six games scheduled against Rome before the Selma-G Gadsden series which will wind up the league season. It is the last series which gives Anniston hope of maintaining the lead, for both Selma and Gadsden will make hard fight for first honors, while it is believed that An niston will have compara lively easy pick ing against Decatur, with whom the Models close the season.
