DALLAS ID PLAY
 GOLF ON ROOFS Tennis Also to Be Played Up
 in the Air

Dallas, Oct. 21.--Ever play tennis !?
 When your lady partner wallops the ball over the backstop, how would you like to go after it, if you had to cross two bridges and row of trees, wait for an elevator, des- cend 10 stories and cross two con- gested downtown streets to get it?
 Yet that's the fix in which some young University club gallant of Dal- las is going to find himself when his new clubhouse, with its tennis and phand-ball courts and its putting green, is opened!
 The clubhouse is being built on the roof of a warehouse and office building which stretches back across three streets, at height of 10 stories!
 The clubhouse grounds" with real grass and trees and flowers and fountains and tennis courts, will be located high above the heads of clerks and bookkeepers and steno- graphers in surrounding skyscrap- CTS.
 Imagine a golfer riding an eleva- tor to 8 green right in the middle of the banking and hotel district of a city of 250,000!

recognized fairness and squareness, his friends believe he will draw the votes of many Republicans outside of the so-called House progressive group.
 Should the progressive vote re- tain its balance of power, as seems probable, with neither Republican regulars or Democrats able to mus ter majority for their candidates, a Democratic c-Insdrgent coalition to put Cooper across as speaker is not impossible.
 It was just such a combination that forced the revision of House rules at the last session, against the Longworth-Gillett Republican opposition.
 First place in the line of pos sible Democratic selections for speaker is accorded Finis J. Gar rett of Tennessee.
 Like Longworth and Madden, he has served 10 terms and has fought his way to a position of undis- puted leadership in Democratic legislative ranks.

Independents Will Control De, cision on House Speakership
By Harry B. Hunt NEA Service Writer

Washington, Oct. 21. A fine fight for the speakership in the next Congress is assured, whether Democrats or Republicans win.
 For a new gavel wielder must be found to preside over the ses- soins of the sixty-ninth House. Speaker Gillett, after six years in the chair, surrendered the chance at another term in that office to pursue the Massachusetts senator ship now held by David Ignatius Walsh of Fitchburg. Whether he will win it is still in doubt, as Walsh is a popular and persuasive campaigner.
 But win or lose for the Senate, Gillett will be out of the speakers g chair after March 4 next, and the line of possible and would-be suc- cessors already is beginning to form on the right.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-21

Gillett's withdrawal leaves Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin the oldest member of the House in point of service. Cooper is jusst compfet- ing his thirtieth year.
 Cooper will be the choice of the insurgent Republicans for speaker. By reason of his seniority in scrv- ice, his personal popularity, his
New Britain herald., 1924-10-21

Heading the list of Republican aspirants for this honor comes Nick Longworth of Ohio, the stocky. bald-headed son-in-law of Roose- welt, tried and true Republican regular"
 Just how regular a party man Nick is may be judged from the fact that he wouldn't even follow his famous father-in-law into the Bull Moose party in 1912. For the past four years he has been the G. o. P. floor leader and is now ready for promotion to the speak, ership.
 Crowding Longworth for favor as G. o. P. choice for speaker is Martin B. Madden of Chicago,
 Both are completing their twen- tlcth year in Congress, Madden having served 10 consecutive terms. Longworth 10 terms not consecu- tive.

The Nile has greater variety of fish than any other river in the world.

The scrap for spcakership is cer- tain to be complicated by the man. euvers and manifestoes of indepen- dents who will come to the new Con- gFess, for the most part, in the guise of Republicans.
 Led by Cooper and Frear and Nelson of Wisconsin, this insurgent wing of the G. o. P. is likely to wield even more deciding influence in the next Congress than in the present one.
 It was this group which forced a revision of House rules last year, providing a method for getting pigeonholed measures out of com mittee and before the House. 1ndi- cations are insurgent membership will be increased rather than de- creased in the new Congress, which will only mean more effective "balance of power" in the hands of this group.
 And the first chance to exercise this power, the first test to reveal the real strength of insurgent elc- ments in the new Congress, will come on the vote for election of speaker.
