GOLFERS OF CAPITAL
PLAY At BANNOCBURN
Clubs Annual Fall Tourney Is
0n-Course Almost
Perfect.

Promptly at o'clock this morning the
first pair In the annual fall tournament
OF the Bannockburn Golf Club teed of
on the jaunt- around the course in the
qualification round and the players were
sent or at short intervals thereafter. The
course Is in almost perfect condition, due
to the recent rains, and indications are
that this tournament-the last one to be
held on the Chevy Chase course-will b
one of the best ever held at Bannock-
burn, the smallness Of the entry list being
the only disappointing feature.
But what is lacking in quantity is made
up for in quality. as all OF the best OF
the local'players have sent in their names.
Because Of the fact that the entry list Is
smaller than was anticipated it is quite
likely thst there will be only three instead
of four sixteens. as only few over the
required, number Of three sixteens have
entered and too many byes would have
to be drawn for fourth.
This event will be a local one, r. l..

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
NO LONGER At SEA
Clark and Underwood Take
Charge and There Is Re-
joicing Among Members. !

The skipper and the first mate OF the
good ship Democracy came on board to-
day when the HOUSE assembled at NOON.
and there was loud rejoicing by The
hands. The old craft has been wallowing
about in the trough of the.sea for several
days, without captain or nasfgHt1ng
oficer and with most of the crew on
shore leave. Mutineers, under the lead
ership Of that grim lin" Mann. had
the rest of the crew battened down I'M
der matches meanwhile, and it was inn
possible to make sail or carry on any OF
the routine.
Speaker Clark banged the gavel at noon
and looked at Minority Leader Mann
savagely, as il daring him to start some
thing" now that the ''old man" was on
the uarterdeck. while valiant young
Oscar Underwood was at his post, look
ing out for squalls.
! Speaker Clark wasn't feeling any too
good for all that, anyhow; he had
big lump on his head and bruise on
his cheek. 1t seems that last night.
while sleeping the sleep of the just In

Mann as Meek as Moses
But minority leader Mann was as meek
as Moses this morning as he viewed the
formidable array of democrats. presaging
possible presence of quorum, and lay
low until Mr.. Hardwick Of Georgia
brought in a special rule from the rules
committee providing for the immediate
reference of the urgent deficiency Dill
to conference.
Then Mr.. Mann interyeped with the
point of order tina. the rule did not mt
the case. There was considerable arSn-
ing among the parliamentary sharps over
the statue of the rule.
Speaker Clark found -the reasoning or
the democratic Neutrality-suspicious. more
cogent. however. and ruled against MI
nority Leader Mann's point OF order
Find Quorum Not Present.
Then came Mr. Mann,s opportunity to
put to. test his fears that quorum
might be present, and he forced a roll
call on a motion for the. previous question.
The roll call showed the House just
thirteen short Of a quorum, and Leader
Mann smiled in grim satisfaction. The
good ship Democracy was still Snort
handed and unable to get under way or
even to answer her helm.
&c. In the doidrums again, the House
awaited the return of absent members
and the master-at-arms scurrfed away 10
round up the missing and fetch them
back to duty.
After waiting some time and still be-
ing short of quorum the House
adopted a resolution reyoking all leaves
o. absence granted TO members except
I'm cases of sickness. directing their
return to the House.
Soon threaten Mr.. Mann offered a
which was adopted. direct
ing the sergeant-at-arms to arrest
and bring them TO the House.
