MANY BELIEVE HE. WILL NOT ENTER. REELECTION RACE.
Officials Greatly Relieved When Bulletins Indicate
 President Is Better
By RAYMOND CHAPTER sy Leased Wire to Tac Axc~Heraldb

(By Leased Wire to TAc AGc~Herald1
 WASHINGToN, July Sl,-Relleved at the favorable turn In tho Presl- dents illness, official Washington Is now beginning to wonder, whether Harding will revise hls political plans in order to conserve his own health and that of Mrs. Harding.
 There was general rejoicing when afternoon press bulletins reported an improvement in the Presidents con- dition.
 Meanwhile preparations fer the re- turn of the President went ahead at the White House. Huge piles of dirt blocking the entrance to the execu- tive offices were carted away. Work men rushed the laying of the marble floor in the lobby. A cleaning squad Is busy in the private apartments of the President on the second floor of the White House, and the various bedrooms and sitting rooms will he in readiness whenever the party re- turns.
 Will Use Study As office.
 It is probable that the Presidents study, on the second floor of the White House. will be used as an office during the period of convales- cence.
 With the let-up in the anxiety that has been felt here for 4S hours, con versation 2 among politicians here turned to the probable effect or the rcsiCents illness upon his political . future Many doubt whether the President will care to endure the rigors of another presidential cam psign. and in event of reelection fcur more years in the White House. Then there is Mrs. Hardins's health to be considered. She refuses to be left behind when her husband goes on trip, no matter how wearing 1t promises to be. The result is that she is under q physical strain almost as great as that hanging over the President himself.
 Temperament Easy Going.
 These who have seen the President frequently have observed that he be- gins to slump when he stops his eX- ercise. During the periods of in- element weather, when he Is unable 10 play golf for a week or ten days, his complexion quickly becomes sal low and heavy puffs appear under his eyes He becomes more nervous and somewhat irritable.
 The Presidents temperament makes his job double wearing. He is by nature an easy going, kindly person who is genuinely unhappy when there is strife or friction around him. It actually pains him to be the cause of displeasure or disappointment to anyone And as 1t is out of the ques- ton for any President to please everybody, Harding goes through. never ending period of troubled anxiety--mostly over petty political appointments and the chaff of poli- ties. He has never been able to throw off small troubles lightly, as Roose. welt and Taft did.

Setters and Beagles Draw Unusually Rich Trophy
 List For Show

Every dog has his day" and judg- ing from the prizes offered Beagles and Setters in the big premium list published by the Birmingham Kennel club, every dog should also have his prize, for in these two breeds alone 1t seems that there are enough prizes offered to be awarded every dog in the county.
 There are many dog shows where the total prizes offered for all breeds exhibited do not compare with these two popular breeds in the Birming ham show. This reflects great credit to the Birmingham fanciers who do not believe in doing things in a small way. S
 There are over 500 prizes offered in the February show, and are so distributed that every dog entered has a chance to win, even though ho is not bred in the purple. In fact the much heralded family tree and beautiful names will cut no figure with the judge.
 While the premium list will give full particulars about making out entries, John 'Scotty" Anderson, show secretary. states that from now on until the last day for accepting entries. he will have some one at this office at the Birmingham Arms and Cycle company. 2017 Third avenue. 10 render any assistance needed In making out entries, and that pre- mium lists and entry blanks can be had at the above firm or at Hugh Scales, BIT, Nineteenth street. north.

AMERICAN A. HEAD SAYS BIG LEAGUES
 TRYING TO BLUFF.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Jan. 20.-(Spe- ciaL)-"A monumental bluff" this is what Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American association, thinks of the major leagues threat to send ball players only to those circuits which will suffer the players to be drafted at the end of the playing season. President Hickey is taking a much-needed vacation in Califor- mia, where he went to avoid the thought of baseball for few weeks, but the disturbance created by the majors in the last 10 days prompted Mr. Hickey to give his view of the runpus.
 Big Bluff
 Its all a monumental bluff, just a monumental bluff" declared MT. Hickey at his hotel at Los Angeles. "The majors are simply trying to scare us and to scare the ball players Instead of soaring us they have made us laugh.
 Eff the majors have any intention of doing what they say they are going to do, they would have ad- vanced with such despotic plan by secret agreement and not by blatant publicity" Five leagues spurned the draft two years ago, and are prospering. They are the American association. the International league. the Pacific Coast league, the Western league and the Illinois-Iowa-India league, the first three named play Class A baseball a degree less in caliber than the major leagues. These leagues solidly will defy the move of the majors to saddle the draft on thefi.''
