I'VE have been finding loose gold in

! r. Mann of Illinois, chairman of the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM

Cannon will again be a candidate for the
Speakership.
Il am q regular, not an .insurgent,'
said Mr.. Diekema. mo man could ever
give me whittier treatment than Speaker
Cannon has given and l think he is the
fairest presiding officer l ever saw in the
chair.
Il believe that the next Speakership
will go the middle West and not to any
man who has had close utilization with
| the men who have dominated Congress-
| It does not seem possible, on the other
hand. that the Speakership will go to
any of the present insurgents"
Mr.. Diekema's announcement was
brought out by direct question put to
him as to whether he would support
Speaker Cannon for reelection. His re-
ply was that he could not do so because

mittee and the committee on election of
President. Vice President and represent
atives in Congress. He has been called
by Mr.. Cannon to preside over the House
temporarily three times and has served

of the Michigan Republican central state
committee for 10 years and has become
acquainted with many political leaders i'm
other states after his announcement
Mr.. Diekema had a talk with Speaker
Cannon.
IT am not a candidate for the Speaker
ship" said Mann. Il am for Uncle Joe
first, last and always. / regard him as
the very best man for that office. He has
been the fairest on the floor and the
abest presiding officer"
"He's overlooking the fact that the
next House of Representatives will be
Democratic and that the Democrats will
choose the Speaker was Minority Lead

EBBETTS WILL STICK.
Has No Idea of Retiring from National
League Schedule Committee.

| New York. Jan. 16.-"That's a joke"
was the comment of Charles H. Ebbets
president of the Brooklyn Baseball Club
| and chairman of the National League
| schedule commission. when asked if he
would resign, as suggested by Barney
| Dreyfuss Of Pittsburg, another member
of the commission.
In dispatch from the Smoky City Mr.
Dreyfuss states that he is willing to re.
sign from the schedule commission If Mr.
Ebbets will also resign. Mr.. Dreyfuss
says also that Pres. Lynch and Sec.
Heydler of the National League could
then draw up a schedule.
why Is he so anxious to have me re-
sign as chairman of a proposition we are
authorized by the feague to carry out?"
was the query of Mr. Ebbets HE ap-
parently seems to want to handicap Pres.
Lynch and Sec. Heydler at this late date
and to saddle the burden on them They
neither one have ever drawn up a sched-
ule unaided and the task at this late day
would be too much to ask of Them
Il am not going to quit, and even If the
meeting is held in Pittsbur,e. in Mr.. Drew
fuss own stamping grounds, 1 feel sure
that schedule of 168 games will be
adopted"
Mt EbbetS got a telegram from a Pitts
burg paper stating that Dreyfuss would
resign If he CEhbets) would, and then
Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. e.rdler could draw
mp schedule. MIR. Ebb, IT'S replied as fol-
lows:
Il shall not resign. No occasion for
me to do So The National League in
structed the schedule committee to pre-
pare ana report on a. 16S-game schedule.
/ shall be true to my trust even though
one Of my committee think or act diff
ferently / shall malte a report as in
The suggestion made that Lynch and

ed Mr.. Ehbets, rs ridiculous. It is very
clever on the pai|l of Mr. Dreyfuss, who Is
ON the ground where the meeting is to
be held As c1 airman ] will not leave
me schedule to anyone else
Ban johnson of the American League
has suggest ed that the joint meeting be
held in Pittsbung next Tuesday. but this
IS not satisfactory to Mr.. Ebbets. who
says That he would not be ready until
'ridF of next week. in any case. The
'riP inal date set for the meeting was
~ n. "a
When Mr.. Ebbets was informed that
Garry Hermann of Cincinnati had been
quoted as opposed to the extended sched-
ule he replied that he had understood
that Mr.. HERMANN was in favor of the
change. In any event, Mr.. Hermann
was originally willing to give the pro-
posal test for one year.
Commenting on the draft schedule he
was going to submit, Mr.. Ebbets pointed
out that between April IA and Oct. Z last
season the clubs played 1854 games. I'm
der the new credule which was being
prepared 15S games will be played be-
tween the same dates. This would leave
only 10 more games for each club be-
tween Oct. and Oct. 16. Mr.. Ebbets de-
clared that the new scheme was worth
trial and that he felt the people wanted
it. In conseouer ce. he argued, 1t should
be given trial for at least year.
