BOYS CLUB WINDS
 UP SEASON TONIGHT
Two Revenge Games Scheduled
 ..Indoor Baseball Results

The Boys club will close its bas- kctball season tonight with a pair of fast games which arc expected 10 bring q large crowd Of rooters 10 the sym and givo them one Of the fastest programs of the season. Tho first team will tako on tho Middle town Athletics in return game, tho Athletics having taken the for mor contest, S6-So, in driving last half rally after the club had up- parently run away with the game, The River City boys expect 10 re- peat their victory tonight, but Cap iain Stanley GotoWala and his men have other views on the subject.
 Confidently believing that the Athletics were merely lucky before, tho club intends 10 turn loose it's full strength tonight and, at one stroke, avengo it's previous defeat and close the season with q proper victory, With Gill and Zapatka at forward position, Gofta in the circle, and Gotowala. Levin, and Silva on the defense, the regular lineup will be ready and on it's toes, so that q hot battle may be safely predicted.
 The preliminary is Of more than usual consequence, bringing to- Gethcr as 1t does two teams which have been aching to get at each other since they met at the very opening Of the season. The Boys Club Reserves and South Church Reserves. after much argument dur ing the winter as 10 which was the better team and whether or not the Club Reserves could repeat their carly victory. will clash once more tonight. Due 10 the keen rivalry between the outfits, tho battle is sure to be an exceptionally fast prclimin- ury. The club team will use Lcon- ard Anderson. Wrinkle, kraszcWski, Link, Pac. Comragnone, Yankowit2 and Tony KeroEojza, while the church will havo Bell. Mercy, Wes. scls, Wilks, May, Washburn. Potts and Kilduff 10 call upon. Much hope has been given tho latter team by the return of Mercy 10 the lineup. IndGOr Baseball

DANGER LOOMS.
ON PENSIONS

Despite the fact that the compro-
mise Administration civil service
retirement bill already has passed
the House, and probably will be
accepted by the Senate, the Senate
Civil Service Committee today de-
cided to stand by its original action
in favor Of the Standfield- Lerilbach
bill.
AS the situation stands now, the
Senate has favorable report on
the Stanfield-Lehlbacli bill fefore
it, with the certainty that the Adj
bill, containing $1,000
maximum annuity, Is the only one
acceptable to President Coolidge.
and. therefore, the only one which
can be enacted into law
No poll of the Senate has been
taken on the retirement Issue. but
1t Is believed that the Adnlillistra-
ton will be able to demand suf-
ficient number of votes TO effect
the passage OF the compromise bill.
Should, however, the Ssanfield-
Lehlbach bill be passed, the Senate
conferees will be forced either to
abandon the bill in conference or
to bring about a deadlock which
will defeat any legislation at the
present session OF Congress.

OPRANO BARES
SWEET VOICE
By JESSIE MCBRIDE
debut" recital is always mo-

"A QCDuI ANSAAe~A -
When Evelyn Gribben Randall
gave her first song recital at the
Mavflower last evening in the chi
nese room, this little soprano dis
closed two things of Importance.
Her voice is compellingly sweet,
which is a native quality that IS
not always retained. She sings with
a poised legato that bespeaks q Ger.
tain mastery of the vocal process.
True, she scared to heights OF
onera aria that she has not yet at
tanned in coloratura roles that IN.
clu61ed the mad scene from Lucia.
But in taste she put into the But
terfly 'Un Bel Dr. something very
promising. with a touch of pathos
that was also shown in the Dvorak
Coin Home. which showed a
charm to her middle voice, and in
the denza, Had You But Known"
the two latter given with violin OBJ
ligato. She must guard her top
notes from too virulent an attack
IL she is to retain theif sweetness.
Elsa Raner, violinist, was the as
sisting artist, giving also a group
of solos, of which the Meditation"
of Cottinet was most interesting,
save for a recalcitrant string. Marie
Hansen was accompanist for Miss
Raner, Robert Feuerstein for Mrs.
Randall.
