eral months ago the idea of Offering a

committee Of three from the city and
county was appointed. This committee
adopted rules and regulations to govern
the knights of Pythias association of
Los Angeles county. The plans were
eagerly assented to by ten Knights of
Pythas lodges of the county and all
began Immediately to get busy. The idea
that a friendly rivalry would have a ten
dency to stimulate the work and bring 1t
to higher state of efficiency, especially
in the rank of Knight strongly appealed
to them. A beautifully designed silver
loving cup was procured as Tue prize
for the winning team, which team, in or
der to permanently retain the trophy
must win it three years in succession
against all comers Already five prelim.
mary contests have been held and the
rivalry is keen. The first semi-fnal con
| test between Los Angeles and Ions
| Beach lodge was won by the latter. The
second semi-final contest will take place
in Los Angeles at the castle hall, los
North Spring street, on Tuesday evening

Angeles, Long Beach defeated Santa
Monica, Marathon of Los Angeles de-
feated Alhambra, Whittier defeated
Gauntlet of Los Angeles, Pomona de-
feated Samson of Los Angeles.
