POLITICS IN
AIR AT
CLUB
Effort Is Made to Com
mandeer Mrs. Gillett for
Club President
BY JEAN ELIOT

WHERE'S a movement on foot--if
\ it has yet attained the proper
lions of a movement--to persuade
Mrs. Frederick H. Gillett, wife OF
the Senator from Massachusetts,. to
run for president of the Congress
sional Club. This is dealing In
futures" with a vengeance, for the
election will not be held until next
March, the club term ending with
the Congressional term on March 4.
But the Congressional ladies are
keen enough politicians to realize
that it is well to begin putting up
fences early.
House and Senate Alternate
It used to be the custom to elect
q president from the Senate con-
tingent one year and from the
House the next. but of late this
unwritten rule has been ignored.
Mrs. Lindley H. Hadley, the pres
ent president. is, of course, from
the House contingent. as was her
predecessor, Mrs. Joseph W. Byrns.
wife of Representative ,Byrns of
Tennessee. And, although there
seems to be no criticism OF the
present Administration. there is a
feeling among some club members
that this House domination is
alternating Senatorial interest and
support.
To the unprecedented observer Mrs.
Gillett would seem. to be extraor.
dinarily well fitted for the job, II
she could be persuaded to stand
for her name is nationally known
and she is a woman Of ability and
gracious presence Moreover, al
though now aligned with the Sem

CONGRESSIONAL CLUB FUND OVER THE TOP

Over the Top With Ball Game

time when, as the wife OF the
Speaker, she was their leader.
Over the Top With Ball Game
The Congressional club went way
over the top with the baseball game
between the Republican and the
Democratic teams, taking in $1,000
and clearing between $4,000 and
$4,000 whereas at the Congressional
ball game given ten years ago the
| 81 800 cleared was considered tre-
mendous sum.
The proceeds will go, as planned,
| toward the clubs building fund with
q view to charging the present quar-
tiers. And, encouraged by the results,
the president of the club, Mrs. Had
ley, has appointed committee tc
! make a study of ths building project
while several other intriguing plans
are under discussion for increasing
the building fund.
Mrs. Louis Cramton was cnair'
man of the baseball game commit
tee. with Mrs. Clyde Kelly as one
of the moving spirits in the project.
And Mrs. Henry Allen Cooper gath
cred laurels for having sold over
81, 600 worth of tickets. An anus
ing story is told of how five OF the
handsomest women in the House
were selected to canvas the Senate,
donned their war paint and spent
several hours up on the Hill---to
collect something like 81. They
discovered, to their chagrin, that
Mrs. Cooper not having been warn
ed there was a special committee
to canvass the Senate and acting
under instructions to sell as many
tickets as possible, had been there
before them, and had pretty well
cleaned out the Senators!

tons a number of bouts have been
staged in Washington during the last
few years which attracted the atten-
ton of the police, but which We're not
raided The case made laSe night is
regarded in the light of A test case
for the section Of the code prohibiting
"pugilStiC encounters.
Boxing exhibitions for no champion
ship. for no admission fee and purely
for the sport of the thing are held by
the police to be within the law. But
when the exhibition is charged for in
directly or directly. and when the
fight is staged for money. in the view
of the police, the charge Of prize fight
ing is to be made against all connect

Mai. Hesse today took an unequivo-
cal stand in the case. He said that
wherever police found sufficient evil
dence that there was an exhibition
at which an admission fee was
charged, and for which the principals
in the bouts were paid, police would
take prompt action.

cution of those who were arrested la ST
night. He declared that he had no
understanding with Dane or any of
those connected with him.
After talking with some of the po-
licemen who made the raid | have
found out that those arrested are OF
the opinion that the matches were
countenanced by the district attor-
ney. There Is no reason for that
opinion. Boxing matches are against
the law in the District of Columbia
whether In club or not
IF they thought it was legal. why
did those interested in the matches
give up the auditorium when they
were warned to stop"
The case was continued today for
a week to permit further investiga :

held under $4,000 bail, the others
