Local MethOdists
Plan Campaign
For New Church

A campaign for funds for a new
Methodist Episcopal church was an
nounced from the pulpit Sunday by
Rev. Arthur L. Schultz. Plans are
being laid for campaign which
will probably take three years to
carry out, at the end of which
time it is hoped to have a suffi-
cient fund available to begin work.
A new location will be secured
and a fine structure erected there
on. The fact that the present
church is becoming inadequate for
the needs Of the congregation is
given as the reason for the contem-
plated change.
One of the pledges already made
is by the Busy Bee class of girls
of the Sunday school, taught by
Mrs. w. !. Stone. One hundred dol
lars is the goal which the girls plan
to make. Already they have con
tributed $50 of this amount as the
proceeds of yenny social given re-
Gently, and will augment this
amount by the sum cleared on their
doughnut sale Saturday.

SPECIAL RATES IN
EFFECT FOR L. A.
BIENNIAL MEETING
VIOLETTE s. CAMPBELL
(Member Press Committee for Bien-
NAL Conyention)

Hotel Clark has been designated
as headquarters for California dele
gates to the biennial convention of
the General Federation of Women 8
clubs to be held in Los Angeles June
2-13 The state president and
state board will have q suite at this
hotel for conference purposes and
an information bureau will be main
tanned.
Mrs. John Urquhart, state presi-
dent, is urging that California club
women make reservations for rooms
as early as possible in order that
they may be assured of proper hous-
ing during the sessions. Reserva-
tions must be made directly with
the hotel at which the delegate
wishes to stop. Deposits ON the
rooms must be made on or before
May -. That is, if o woman writes
today for room to be set aside dur
gin the convention, the hotel must
have this reservation confirmed by
q cash deposit not later than the
date mentioned otherwise it will
not be considered q reservation.
The Hotel Men g Association has
pledged itself that the downtown
hotels of Los Angeles belonging to
the association will take care of
5000 delegates to the Biennial. \
list of these hotels has been pub
lished in an official bulletin is
sued by the local biennial board,
copies of which have been mailed to
presidents of all clubs in the Gen
cral Federation. Rates given are
from $50 to $3.50 per day up. Mrs.
Campbell will be glad to furnish
further in formation on the subject
to Imperial Valley club women who
contemplate attending the conven-
tion.
Financing Important
Financing the convention con-
tinues to be a subject of absorbing
interest to the local biennial board,
which has it i'll hand. The clubs Of
the southern part of the state have,
for the most part, paid in whole, or
in part, their per capita assessment
of 80 cents, but some of those locat-
ed in sections remote from Los An
geles are slow to respond.
Imperial Valley clubs have nearly
all sent in their quotas and all will
do SO in due time. Some few mem
bers of the Ten Thousand Club have
failed thus far to pay the assess
ment but it is confidently expected
that every member will do so very
soon. While the convention . to
be held in Los Angeles, it has been
impressed upon club women of the
state that every member of the fed
Grated clubs is equally responsible as
Il hostess to the distinguished guests
who will gather from all parts of
the country for the convention.
Mrs. Urquhart proposes to have a
speaker at every club meeting dur
ing this month to stress the import
ance of financing the convention as
basic to its proper entertainment.

BARONS STILL WIN;
 CAN'T LOSE TO PEBS
Lundgren Pitches Well For Seven Innings; Trav-
 elers Play Worse Even Than Barons

The Barons ran their winning streak yqnp to two games Friday. They are mot vet the worst ball club that Blr- mingham has ever entered in the South tern league. They need to lose one more game. They beat Little Rock Friday, to 3.
 The Travellers played worse ball than the Barons and thereby lost the contest. Robinson got off to a bad start and errors soon made matters worse for him. NIisplays when perfect fielding was needed helped the Barons take the game.
 Comedy was intermingled with the baseball farce by "Scrappy Moore whose crazy antics gave the fans some diversion throughout the game. In the seventh he went up into the right tleld bleachers with the kids and rooted for the Travellers while they were at the bat. Later in the game he was giving an imitation of the ump while on the coaching line and when he later came to bat he still tried to umpire. After calling two balls on himself he called a third one, but Umpire Bill Brennan ruled, Strike An argument followed as to which was umpiring but scrap py'' lost out in the verbal altercation and went back to bat.
 Barons Start Early
 The Barons hopped on to Rube Robin son in the first inni ngand Pete Brau- sen hit the first ball pitched for a single. Stewart hit fly to mcDevitt who let the ball fall out of his glove. ' A. sRF fFI a V q baseball encounter.
 Delmar Lundgren pitched stingy 1. game up to the eighth inning and the Travellers could not connect but three times safely. In the eighth four hits resulted in three runs for the Pebs and things looked brighter for Baron loss e but no such was the case.
 Harris To Pitch.
 In Saturdays game Leo Harris will twirl for the Barons and McBee or Robinson will likely work for the Tray elers. Harris pitched a good game for the Barons in his first start here, though he lost it. Bob Rhode, first sacker, will play his farewell game Sat urday afternoon for he leaves for Cleve- land Sunday. Rhode, the property of the Indians, has been called back for another tryout. Brenner will play first base and Fiegert will likely play the outfield. Another young outfielder is expected to join the club Monday in New Orleans while two or three other players will be added to the list within the next week or so.
 The Pebbles scored all their runs in the eighth. Philbin bunted safely after Wilson had famed and Williams sin gled to left center. Gayon flied out to Fiegert while Lory walked, filling the bases Moore beat out an infield hit to Hartford, Philbin scoring. Michaels doubled down the left field foul line and Williams and Lory scored. Morrison flied out to Ganzel s..--..t. Stewards Count
 The Stewards counted four Ain the first inning. Brausen singled and Me ! Dewitt dropped Stewards fly. Fiegert struck out but Rhode singled, scoring Brausen who had taken third on a passed ball. Camp doubled to right and Stewart scored Hartford singled and Rhode and Camp scored. Hart ? ford got into a chase between first and

SCRAP SOUTHERN BELL Double Header Scheduled For Smith Field
 Saturday

Birmingham's 1924 City league cham pon will very probably be decided Sat urday afternoon at Smithfield when Alabama Power Company and Southern Bell clash in double-header that will make the winner the leader of the Gen. tral division. The contests will begin at 2 80 o'clock. A small admission fee is to be charged to assist in defraying the expenses of the postSseason series with the Memphis champions.
 The winner in this game is certain to triumph ill its division. And the Gen. tral division pennant victor will enter the elimination contests with slight edge in the betting over the Eastern and Western champions.
 But by no means is that margin any thing to boast of Closs-Sheffield By Products plant and Fairfield have both ripped through their divisions with the and they are not to be lightly discred- ited in a series of this nature.
 Saturday Sloss will draw Dostor- Northington, good team, with two fine pitchers. It possibly ranks next to the leaders at present in the Eastern divi- sion, insofar as real strength is con cerned. The Slossmen will get a real battle, just the sort to round them out for the final fight for the top.
 As for Fairfield. the Western champs get McDonald's Chapel, another good team. The Chapelites have had a way of arising to smite the mighty frequent ly this season, despte the fact that their erraticness kept them from getting any where. They will perform for Fairfield just about the same polishing function attributed above to the Druggists.
 Turning again to Saturdays topline struggle, Southern Bell was rated two weeks ago as slightly superior to the Powermen. But the latter right now are a different team, strengthened inn mensely in the gardens and behind the bat; and possessing exceptional reserve strength, so that right now it appears dead 50-50 proposition.
 Burney Love, in the outfield, and Lefty Screws, in the box, have, made the outfit look entirely different in com. plexion. Love is q corking infielder or outfield, while Screws has been going well in the DeBardeleben Coal league, and consequently should be in great shape. He and Thompson are the like Hest choices to start for Moriarty.
 Pop Shaw is pretty sure to send Nor ris, his young southpaw, out for one of the contests, more likely the first with Dunbar held back for the second Mitchell will hardly start either, though there is a possibility, as he is at pres ent going at his finest clip.
