FOUNDER OF FELLOWSHIP
RETURNS FROM JOURNEY

After a trip extending over a period
of four months i'm the interest of the
Los Angeles Fellowship, B. Fay Mills
returned to the city yesterday morn
ing.
Among the cities visited were San
Francisco, Salt Lake. Kansas City, Gin
cinnati, Milwaukee, Minneapolis. St.
Paul and Denver. In each city he was
accorded the use of a theater or public
hall and addressed large meetings. In
Salt Lake City he was invited to make
use of the Mormon tabernacle for his
address, quite unusual distinction, as
Protestant clergynen have rarely been
permitted to speak in 1t.
1t was not Mr.. Mills intention to or
ganize Fellowship circles in the differ
ent cities he visited, but the great de-
mand for them compelled him to yield
in many cases. His aim was to ex-
plain the fellowship idea--"a modern
expression of religion without super
stition."
A dinner of welcome will be given in
his honor Thursday night at the City
Federation club by the men of the
Fellowship society and on Friday there
will be a general reception for him at
the Fellowship headquarters in Blan-
chafd hall
During the month OF June Mr.. Mills
will speak every Sunday at Blanchard
hall. He will rest in. July and August
and in September will go to San Fran
cisco to do fellowship work.

The Los Angeles high school girls

to IL.
The game was fast throughout, Miss
Miller, who twirled for Polytechnic,
only allowing nine hits. while Miss
Butler of l.. A. was found for twelve
safeties by the Polytechnic girls.
The defeat came somewhat as sur
prise to the Los Angeles team. as they
had easily defeated the Polytechnic
team In two former practice games and
were not looking for the great increase
in form showed by the Polytechnic
girls.
This is the first time these teams have
clsshed during the season in a regular
game, and by winning Polytechnic has
jumped into first place in the league,
where she will stay If able to pull off
tho one remaining game on the
schedule, which is against the Long
Beach high school team.
The features of the game were two
home runs, one by Miss Miller of Poly
technic i'm the fifth inning and the other
by Miss Muntz of l.. A. In the second.

RACE FROM CALIFORNIA
Purple and Gold Fresh as Daisies at
Finish, While Berkeley Boys
Are Exhausted and Reel
In Seats

SEATTLE, WASH. June BY five
lengths and a half Washington's crew
this afternoon won the undisputed
championship of the coast over the
University of California.
The purple and gold athletes raced
down the three-mile course cheered on
by thousands of spectators, and flashed
across the finish line in IL minutes 10
seconds. California was beaten at the
beginning of the second mile, and from
that on the victory was only a question
of lengths. Kirby, the big captain and
stroke of the Washington crew, and the
seveiAmen behind him, pulled farther
away with every tug at the oars. and
finished smiling and undistressed.
California, on the other hand, after
setting killing pace for the first three
quarters of a mile, finished with the
oarsmen exhausted and reeling in their
seats.
California had a sub, Frank Randall,
rowing No in place of Harold Ashley,
who had an infected hand, but the reg
ular could not have rowed much better
than his freshman sub. Randalls good
work was one of the features of the
race.

Meeting with Northumberland
Long Makes One Moro
Effort

Baron Long of the Jeffries Athletic
club received word last night from
Packey Mcfarland, offering to accept
the terms named by the local promo
ters for the Fourth of July date with
Freddie Welsh. The Baron considered
the match as already made, until Welsh
came through, with a fiat refusal to
accept the terms made by Long, which
were a 80 per cent split of the receipts
between the fighters and the club, and
the fighters to divide the money go and
40. Welsh made the surprising demand
for a per cent bonus, which, consid-
ering the fact that Packey already
holds ten-round decision over him.
looks as If he is not at all anxious for
the Chicago pork packers game. as the
demand is ridiculous on the face of 1t.
Welsh made a great fight against
Phil Brock, and is entitled to all credit,
but the fight public probably will not
be persuaded to look with favor on his
demand for bonus in meeting with
a crack such as Mcfarland. Final ef-
forts will be made today to bring the
men together, as an afternoon fight
here over the twenty-five-round route
on the Fourth of July would prove a
great card.
