RACE Several of the Members of the Assoeia- tlon Not Satisfied Yet of College Relay Supremacy The outcome of the relay race last Saturday Afternoon between the Harvard team and the Boston Athletic Association four was not what the associations members expected. Some of them are not convinced yet that tbe better team won, and they are now eager to arrange another meeting, to be held out of doors a little later in the season, this time the distance to be one mile, each man to run a quarter. One member of the B.A.A. has offered a prise, and it Is understood that a challenge will be sent to HarvarJ within a few days. Many of those who witnessed the race Saturday are inclined to the belief that Harvard has the better balanced team and will win if there Is another meeting.

There are others, however, who think the two teams are wonderfully well matched, and that If they could be brought together under conditions more favorable than on an Indoor track, where the pole is such a tremendous advantage, the result would be a toss-up. Getting the pole on the Indoor track in Mechanics Building is considered by some to mean at least five Had Burns of the B. A. A. bad the pole instead of Tower in the recent race, there is no reason to believe that he would have lost It during his three laps and there probably would have been no such lead gathered by Harvard to call for putting Halpin In as third runner for the Unicorn to try to wrest back the lead already gained.

Halpin drew up almost even with Bingham, but the effort took too much out of him to be sustained. A rest would do the great anchor man good, without a-doubt, though his strenuous campaign did not seem to impair his speed for the A. A. U. championships.

If Harvard and the B. A. A. are brought together again, there is likely to be a great crowd on hand to see the sport. The college boys will back Harvard heavily, for the varsity and freshman relay teams of the university have run eleven times this season.

In all. and have yet to meet defeat. The student body at Harvard is almost as proud of Its varsity relay team as over a winning football eleven. EASTERN ATHLETES TO COMPETE Kolrhmalnrn and Sheppard to Raa la Kaaaaa City A. C.

First consideration of the municipal budget was given by tbe City Council this afternon which met in special session to receive it from the hands of Mayor Curley, and also an order for the transfer of $11,500 from the reserve fund to defray the expenses of a special election for congressman in the twelfth district. The budget will, receive the consideration of the City Council finance committee for at least two weeks. It will be taken up by departments, the heads appearing before the committee and explaining in detail what they can get along without, and, as has been customary, the Finance Commission will be represented. The council has no power to Increase appropriations without the approval of the mayor. The budget amounts to $21,611,680.

or $82,161.83 more than the amount expended during the last year of the Fltsgerald administration. It was cut $2,065,866.41 by tbe mayor, the largest pruning that any budget ever received.

The largest cut was in the estimates of the department of public works, "EVANGELINE JOINS HER SISTERS "Forest Primeval, Murmering Pines and the Hemlocks Go Into the "Movies. LongfellowS Evangeline is now poem of this very year 1914.

It has at least been motlon-plcturied, and the multitudes who have read the tale of tbe expulsion of tbe French peasants from Nova Scotia, and of the long and weary search of the Acadian maiden for her lover Gabriel, can at least see them In the semblance of life. Last fall in Evangelines own land the Canadian Bioscope Company organised a troup of players and pictured them by motion camera they acted out the leading events of the poem In the fields, the woods, the villages and Inside the houses where once dwelt Evangeline, Gabriel, Basil the Blacksmith, Father Fell-clan and Rene Leblanc the notary. In Tremond Temple this morning a private view of these pictures wae given, the New England rights having been secured by Joseph P. Dumas of the Colonial Building. They tell the entire story in five parts, narrating with a graphic significance and a dramatic and emotional power not always present In motion pictures.

The whole progress of Evangelines love story Is told, of the coming of the British soldiers, of the mandate of expulsion issued by authority of King George, of the burning of the village of Grand Pr6 and of Evangelines wanderings in quest of her lover, the final scene of all being the meeting and parting of the dying Gabriel. In the audience this morning was Longfellow's daughter, Mrs. Joseph G. Thorpe, of Cambridge, and she expressed her cordial appreciation of the arrangement of the poem and of Its skilful Acting and Oscar Kreutser all! also make the team, and from my knowledge of German lawn tennis affairs I am certain that the financing of the Germans visit to this country will be done by the kaiser, who Is as hot a lawn tennla fan aa there is in all of Europe. The challenge from Canada fulfils the promise made by Robert Banks Powell, who captained the Canadian team last season, that if the Americans recaptured the cup Canada would be a challenger this year.

From letters received yesterday, Powell will again lead the team and have Bernard P. Schwengers, the Canadian champion, as his chief aid In the singles. The West Bide Tennis Club, of this city, and the Longwood Club of Boston, are making great efforts to land tbe cup matches for their respective eourta The contests probably will take place early in August, Just before the allcomers national championship tournament at Newport, R.

A1TER WINS ALASKA DOG RACE John Johnson, Winner of Last Years Solomon Derby from Nome to Solomon and Return, Only Two Minutes Behind Nome, Alaska. March 8 Fred Ayer finished first In the Solomon Derby dog race that was run from Nome over the snow trail to Solomon and return yesterday. His time for he sixty-four miles was six hours, thirty minutes, four seconds. John Johnson, winner of last year's Derby, was a close second with his team of Siberian wolves, and finished two minutes after Ayer.

The five teams that entered the race started under clear skies, but a wind and snow storm tbat reached tbe proportions of a blizzard developed as the race progresscl, and the heavy going destroyed chances of lowering time records of other years. Johnsons time last year, which fixed the record for the course, was five hours, forty-seven minutes, twenty-four seconds. The Solomon Derby is the first of tbe seasons classic dog races. The big race, the All-Alaska Sweepstake, will be run in April. AMATEUR BILLIARD TOURNEY Seven Competitors for National Class A 18.2 Balk Line Title in New York Next Week New York.

Has One Race on Schedule Wants to Meet Second Freshman Eights Worcester Academys Hard Baseball Task Long List of Games Listed for Lowell High More than the usual amount of interest is apt to be developed the coming spring In school rowing. Not only will the Boston school oarsmen be on deck with their old enthusiasm, but the schools in other parts of the State are getting ready for an active season. Groton School and Middlesex have been working on schedules, presumably the same is true of Exeter Academy, and tbe high school boys of both Worcester and Springfield are planning on putting their oar In where it will do the most good. The Worcester boys already have signified their desire to row against the Boston school oarsmen the latter part of tbe spring season! Now comes Springfield High with the announcement that one race already has been arranged with Groton School and that efforts are being hiade to arrange races with the second freshmen eights of both Harvard and Yale.

Rowing practice for the-Springfield boys began yesterday, but -many additions to the squad are expected today and tomorrow. How greatly the Springfield boys are Interested In the sport Is shown by the fact that last fall Cfty-four boys Indulged In practice until well along in the year. The work done at that time showed a number of promising candidates for this years first crew, although the candidates are light, as a whole. Captain Flrnie. stroke; 'McCIench, No.

2, and Taylor, No. 3, are the only veterans available, but Harry Bennett, the coach. Is confident that lie will turn out a fast, even though light, first eight What the Springfield boys are eager to do now Is to convince the city that it should provide them a new ahelL Their equipment now includes four shells, but none of the four can be called first-class. They believe that with a new boat they could make better speed. The old shells, meantime, will not be idle, for there will be enough candidates to keep them all busy.

School Baseball Activities Battery candidates for the Worcester Academy team reported in the gymnasium yesterday. Coach Messer has a problem in trying to get pitchers to fill the vacancies left by Joe Fahey and Whittaker, who not only were among the greatest of schoolboy pitchers, but either of whom could go into the outfield, when not pitching, and strengthen the team both in fielding pnd batting. One of the most promising candidates for the box is Nichols, who did so well last year for South Framingham Hlgn His battery mate, McNeil, also is in the academy, and it Is quite likely that this pair will bolster up the battery positions materially. Ike Davol. one of the vet wu.

also Is in line for catching, though It is possible tbat if McNeil ahowe up particularly well. Davol will go back to the outfield. Allen. Barber. Stanley.

Hastings and Orasheen are candidates for pitching anil Malley, William Shaw. Myer and Bourder are trying out for the receiving end, along with McNeil and Davol. The lose of Tom Enright at shortstop is a severe one, Ijr Enright was one of the greatest players who ever represented the academy. Edwards Phipps, the former second base-man, Is another whose position will be bard to fill. There Is good new material, however, in such boys as Brainy Bower from Arlington High, John Mitchell from Somerville High.

Russ Murphy from Lynn and Bruno Hass from Lake View. With a number of veterans again on hand, Lowell High School expects to make an exceptional showing on the diamond th coming spring and its schedule reflects th( confidence of the teams manager.

Private School Meet Volkmann School Is the favorite to win the private school meet which is to be held Saturday afternoon in the Boston Y. M.

C- A. gymnasium under the auspices of Huntington School. Powder Point is expected to give Volkmann a rub for the honors and Huntington School Itself Is not likely to be far behind. Mosea Brown of Providence might cut In 'on the favorites, however. There are 134 entries, which include boys not only from the schools named, but from Allen School of West Newton and Dimmer Academy of South Byfi Looking Ahead to Next Fall There Is still tbe desire among tbe football players of Everett High to have another go at the team which represents Oak Park High of Chicago.

Already a tentative agreement has been reached, it is understood, whereby if each team goes through tbe next season, without a defeat, they will meet once more on Nov. 28, probably in Chicago.

CHALLENGES FOR DAVIS CUP Germany and Canada Eleventh-Hour Entrants for International Lawn Tennis Competition New York, March 3 Germany land Canada have challenged for the Davis international lawn tennis chip. The former came from Berlin by cable, while the one from Canada waa duly received through the malls.

As Robert D. Wrenn, the president of tbe United States National Lawn Tennla Association, was stormbound at his home at Tuxedo, the two new challenges were duly acknowledged by George T. Adee, the secretary of the American and Henry W. Slocum, also 'of the committee. It wae pointed out by Adee tbat there were still hopes, of hearing from South Africa and Sweden, and that possibly challenges from these two nations might be received by cable or be among the mall aboard the delayed transatlantic steamships.

While we have hopes of bringing the list of nations up to the record number of seven, as was the case last year, said Mr. Adee, the draw for the preliminary ties will be made at noon on Tuesday, as the rules require. We have now six nations as challengers for the famous cup, as France. Australasia, Belgium and the British Isles had previously notified us of their Intention of competing. As the list of challengers stands, we are assured of having the greatest lawn tennis players of the world In this country next summer.

An ofllclal of the national association stated that the challenge from Germany wae particularly gratifying. The Germans are regarded as the most spectacular wleldere of the racquet In all Europe, he ssld. leading players are really under the patronage of the Emperor, and Otto Froitzhelm, who greatly 'resembles our own Maurice McLoughlln in style, is an especial pet of hie majesty and the crown prince. Fro it helm often plays with the latter upon the royal courts at Potsdam. Kroitxheim waa not at his beet wben the German team met the Americans in the emi-finals of the Davis Cup matches last Bummer.

He had hurt hie hand, but even so It took McLoughlln five sets to-beat him at 0 2 6, 0 4, 6 2, 6 2. Norris Williams beat him in four sets at 57, 01, 6 3, 61. 1 "The Germane played well in the doubles also as Harold Hackett and McLoughlln had to work, and work hard, through four sets to beat Herman Klelnschroth and Friedrich Wilhelm Rahe at 6 4, 2 6, 6 3, 86. Court Holds Legitimate Power Was Used Washington, March 3 Major Beecher B. Ray, an army paymaster, yesterday lost his appeal in the courts here to compel President Wilson to nominate him for promotion to colonel because of his seniority.

In his suit, which was filed In the Supreme Court last July, Major Ray set forth that In August, 1912, President Taft sent to the Senate a appointment naming him a deputy paymaster general with the rank of lieutenant colonel, but that Congress adjourned without taking action, although the Committee on Military Affairs made a favorable report on the nomination. Major Ray on May 17. 1913, requested Secretary Garrison to have the Senate act on the ncmlnatlon, but he refused. Ray contended that he waa lawfully entitled to promotion by reason of his seniority, and sought to restrain the Secretary of War and the assistant secretary from recommending to the President any other officer ta fill- the vacancy in the quartermasters corps. Previous to his nomination serious charges had been made aralnst Major Ray, 'who escaped a court-martial under the statute of limitation.

Among other things it was charged that he had bullied a pay clerk who had made accusations In connection with the major and his (the clerks) wife. The clerk became reconciled to wife, however, refused to testify, and the case never came to court. General Evans Succeeds Barry Brigadier General Robert Kennon has succeeded Major General Thomas il.

TROUBLES SMOOTHED OVER Headmaster Small Allows His Boys to Declaim on Evacuation Day, Though He at First Refused, Owing to Remarks Two South Boston high school boys will declaim at the patriotic exercises connected with the celebration of Evacuation Day. despite the trouble that resulted from a remark of a member of the committee against Headmaster Small and the school. The morning papers declared that this par tof the exercises would be cut out as Mr. Small had refused to allow his boys to take part, but the matter was settled last Friday by the efforts of Dr. Herbert J.

Keenan, who was one of Mr. Smalls boys in the Lawrence school and for whom he has great admiration. The boys have been selected and their pieces chosen and they are now studying them, Headmaster Small said. I did send a letter to the gentlemen mentioned as having said offensive things about our school, and I sent copies to other members of the committee. My boys have sometimes been criticised.

There has been criticism In the past that the pieces have been too short or some other complaint, and the criticism has always come from this same gentleman. Last week the boys went to this gentleman and he criticised most severely the hoys and the school, and they, came to me and told be all about It. So far as it concerns me, the boys will declaim, despite reports to the contrary. The committee, however, has other trouble, which were announced at last Bights meeting as follows: No speaker has yet been secured for the banquet, though several prominent men, including President Wilson, had been invited to he the guest of the day. The Citizens Association objects to the plan of Mayor Curley to omit from the route of the military parade one-half of South Boston and to substitute a portion of Dorchester.

Representative Twohig of the committee insists that St. Patrick be given great-' er consideration in the celebration by the use of green ribbon for official badges and more green In decorations. The committee is divided on the ques- tlon whether to have a combined ticket and programme as heretofore for the patriotic exercises. Lieutenant Governor Barry was assigned to secure a speaker in -Washington, hut no reply has been received from him. and the committee is beginning to feel that it will be obliged to get along with strictly local talent.

English High School boys are bitterly complaining today over the action of the Sohool Committee last night in voting that they shall not be permitted to march in the Evacuation Day parade.
