EAGLE RUNNERS SAY
THEY WON FIRST PRIZE
Protest Filed With Directors OF
Firemen'S ASsociatiOn---An
Unfortunate Accident.

Members OF the running team OF
Eagle Engine Company No. 3. who re-
turned yesterday morning from the an
nua! State Firemen's convention al
Alexandria, claim that they should
should have been awarded the hrst
prize of 500 in the free-forall reel
race at Alexandiia Friday morning
as the time made by their team was
better than that made by either lie
woodstock or the HarrisOnburg team
when the latter ran off the tie in this
contest.
The local team has entered protest
with the directors of the association
and they feel SIRE of winning out.
They base their protest on section
two or rule six governing the reel
races, which reads as follows: IN
case Of a tie being made by teams IN
any contest he judges shall immedi-
ateIy order such teams to run over
and said contest shall be the deciding
run of such contest" The local men
construe this to mean that the lime
made BY the teams in the run-off 81
he tie shall be their accredited line
in the race and that any other team
beating that time is the winner.
