About $500 fans attended the game
yesterday between the Angels and the
Seals at Chutes park and tried 10
root" the champions back into first
place in the Coast league pennant
chase, and although the pets of Hen
Berry won the game it required thlr-
teen innings to turn the trick. and
even then the fact that Portland has
not played the same number Of games
played by the Angels keeps the lat
ter in second place, two points only
separating them from the lucky
Beaver band.
Hosp twirled a great game, as he
usually does, but he failed to get any
thing like decent support, else the
game would have been won In nine
innings. The detailed story or the
game shows that five of the six runs
made by the Seals were scored on, or
as a result of, errors by the home team,
while six of the seven TALES made by
the Angels were earned. Despite that
the Angel fielders ran up q total OF
six errors during the game. The play
ing as a whole was of a brilliant ma
ture and frequently drew enthusiastic
applause from the crowds.
The visitors found Hosp to be a gen.
nine puzzle until the thirteenth In
ming. Up to the end of the ninth IN
ming they had found him for only
four bingles. but had turned In as
many runs, thanks to misplays by the
Angel PLAYERS. The Seals got one hit
off Hosp In the third inning and
turned 1t into two runs. aided by one
free pass and an error by Maggie.
They repeated the performance IN
the sixth inning, scoring another brace
of tallies on one hit, a free pass ano
errors by Hosp and Hogan, both DO
ing their best to throw the ball away.
The Angels scored the first run OF
the game in the opening inning on
two hits. In the fifth they gathered
in a pair of tallies and were lucky
enough in the ninth to get one run
over the pan and tie the score. Then
fine fun began. For three innings
Hosp and Henley pitched their best
curves and were successful In prevent
ing any scoring.
Hosp weakened a bit in the tnir-

BAND TO ESTABLISH
CHURCH SOCIALISM
200 MINISTER'S FORMED SECRET
ORGANIZATION
Ono Bishop Said to Be Among Its
Members-It ls Planned to Ex-
tend Propaganda Over the
Entire Country

Powerful influences for a Christian
Socialist propaganda on an extensive
scale are now at work A secret organ
ization has been formed which, 1t 1s
said, already numbers 200 clergymen,
mong whom are some or the most
prominent in the country, but who are
not willing as yet to have their names
made public. Among them is said to
be an Episcopal bishop.
The secret organization has been
named 1.-THE Ministers Socialist Con-
ference" and, although similar to the
newly organized Christian Socialist Eel
lowship, which is propagating Christian
socialism, is composed entirely Of cler-
gymen.
1t is the intention of the organization
to issue a manifesto addressed to ell
clergymen in the United States calling
upon them to affiliate themselves with
the new body as soon as possible,
either secretly or openly, and do all in
their power to win their congregations
over to the tenets of Christian social
ism.
After the issuance of the manifesto
1t is the intention of the organization
to call national conclave of clergy
men for the purpose Of definitely de-
Gliding upon the formation Of q national
body to have branch offices in the
large cities of the United States, with
a view to making the body the greatest
and most powerful religious organiza-
ton ever known in the United States.
Rev. John Long of the Park Side
Presbyterian church at AZ Lenox road,
Brooklyn, who has been elected secre-
tary OF the new organization, has issued
the following statement:
"a large number of ministers have al
ready allied themselves with the new
movement, the most powerful and in
f1uential having expressed it as their
desire that their names be withheld
from publication until q sentiment has
been organized among their congrega-
lions which will permit of them coming
out into the open.
THE clergymen who have affiliated
with the organization have come to the
conclusion that Christianity will not
work under a competitive commercial
system and that the Inauguration Of
socialism is necessary for the practical
application of Christianity to the needs
of civilized human beings. We regard
socialism as the economic expression of
Christian life. The only way Christian
ity can triumph upon earth is by the
establishment of an international CO.
operative commonwealth to be governed
by the majority rule of all Christians"

He strobe rapidly along In the rain

The small house was all alight when
he arrived there, and there was q

stood at the gate watching the shad
ows of the dancers on the curtains.
These shadows Wavered grotesquely,
as if in the throes of a country dance.
Presently the door opened and his
little laundress came out, laughing
and tanning herself with a. folded
newspaper. A young man followed
her and they stood together on the
narrow porch.
It's rainin' yet, amt it?" she
asked, and her voice grated unmu-

see those hands, and they were broad
and thick-of course, the hands of a
girl who ironed, who held constantly
the handle of an iron, how could they

it happened that he had never noticed
them before, he who had such q
