Glynn Is aware of the antagonism of Mitchell, Ma lone and others, and he is keping watchful eye on the White House to SC if they get any support there in their oppo- sition to his nomination.
 One serious aspect to the situation which Monday will be laid before the President by John J. Fitzgerald and his democratic associates in the House, from New York, is that New York's delegation of 31 demo- crats in the House stands a good chance to be caught in the cogs of the political state strife. and considerably mangled in the finals. The House democrats from New York feel somewhat sore because they have been-so they claim-ignored by the administration the subject of pa- tronage. the distribution of which has been largely managed by the younger mill itant element. headed by Malone and Michel.
 Altogether the New York situation is hopeful, however, that solution will be worSeA out that will save the most of the delegation in the House and defeat the plans of Roosevelt to have the state at his back in 1916. One alarming condition is that tn Irish societies for the most part are xeenlys desirous of taking slap at the admnistra tion because of canal tolls, and it will take all of Fitzgerald's diplo- macy to minimize that desire.

FIRST SLUMP OF THE SEASON FOR NEWMAN Sanders Club Falters and Selma Jumps Into Lead
 of G. A. l..

Anniston, July 26.-Newnan has at last been knocked out of the leadership CT the Georgia Ala bama iea que and Selma is resting of. the ,op position. Selma taking possession of .he coveted place, came from beind like dark horse, as it appeared a few weeks ago that the race was going to be between the Geor- gia team and Op slika. However, the Selma team has been playing steady ball since Overton took charge of the team and it looks as though the team that wins the rag will be compelled to play better ball than the River Rats are plf.y ying and win ov er the Selma team
 The Newman club is experiencing their first slump thls season. War Sanders has ad his team up in the running all GLling the campaign md this is the first time that he has been low as third place. This slump has been expected for the past two weeks, because, With the exception of young May, his pitchers have been going bad.
 May is undoubtedly tse sensation of the league this season. He can count the games he has lost one hand has pitched steady ball all during the season. The feature of his work is the fact that he has seen only 19 seasons and is noth- ing but kid.
 1ack Reidy is continuing to do good work with his Rome team and is run ring Selma a good race for the first position. In Aaron he has his joker. ln the past week this southpaw has pitched a no-hit game and a one-nit game. The fellow has speed and good ontrol but sometimes is inclined to get rsttled. The Anniston club knocked him out of the box at Rome when he was being looked over by big league scout.
 LaGiange is responsible for the slump of Newman, as they won series rom Newman at LaGrange nd when the team shifted to Sanders hunting grounds, re- peated the stunt
 o. Donaldson, LaF'ittes hard hitting outfielder, has returned to the game after being out with an injury.
 The crippled Annist on team, with their manager back in the game from a sick led, two of their pitchers and the first haseman out of the game has been un- ale to win this week.
 The work of Sheppard this season has been a great improvement over that of last year. Already the Anniston catcher has register ed large number of hits over what he got last year and is hit ting easily over the 300 mark. The Ope- ika club offered good trade with the local club. including Williams and a lit tie of the long green for the Anniston ce tcher but the Anniston management failed to hear the call.
 At a meeting of the league directors the first pant of this week, it developed that all of the cluos not only had the firm intention of staying in the league all of the season but would be on the job next year. All of the clubs have paid their assessments into the league treasury and are in good standing. At the meeting President Boykin explained the reason that the league batting avef- ages were not sent out, was the fact that some of the official scorers in the league were not sending in their reports
