THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1895. The captains of wheeling clubs have hit upon a very successful way of getting a good crowd of members to join in Sunday road runs to the country. All thatis neces- sa to induce a full attendance is for the captain to shout on the evening before starting at a club-meeting, “Fresh mown hay, fresh buttermilk, fresh eggs, fresh air and the society of ladies—well, who will join the run to-morrow?” and all shout, “Everybody.”” The gun and rifle clubs are having lots of sport at the traps and ranges. Coursing is in full blast. Row- ing has received a great impetus. The anglers are looking anxiously forward to the opening of the lakes. The yachtsmen are having splendid weather for sailing and the tennis-players are showing some signs of life. —_—— THE WHEELMEN. C. S. Wells to Try for the World’s Five-Mile Road Record.

The races will be ran on Saturday, June 15, at 2 o’clock P. M., on a three-lap track in Vue de I'Eau Athletic Park, which has| just been completed. The track was built about three years ago, but was never used, and so was allowed to go to ruin; but although the surface work had to be done over again, the foundation was very good to work upon. It has been remodeled after the track at San Jose, except that the surface is loam instead of cement, and is thirty feet wide at the tape and twenty on the backstretch. The grounds are easy of access, being on the line of an electric rail- road, and upon a popular drive, the Cliff road, about a mile and a quarter from the center of town. Comfortable training quarters and dressing-rooms will be pro- vided for all the racers. The races are under the auspices of the Pilot Wheelmen of Santa Cruz, and as all the best riders from this part of the State will compete, they should be very inter- esting. Theeventsand prizes are as follows: One mile novice—Gold medal; silver medal. One mile scratch, class A—Gold watch, value $50; suit of clothes, 5; easy chair, $20. Two-mile handicap, class A-—Diamond locket, B—Unset diamond, 50; shotgun, $25. scratch, class B—Diamond stud, banjo, $40; banquet lamp, $25. It will be seen that the prizes are very liberal, and tie races well divided as to dis- tances and classes. Entries for handicap events close June 8, and for scratch events June 10, with the last delivery of mail on those dates, and should be addressed to L. E. W. Pioda, secretary cycling commit- tee, Santa Cruz, accompanied by the cus- temary entrance fee of 50 cents for such event. The Pilot Wheelmen, an adjunct of the swell Pilot Club of Santa Cruz, are com- ramxively new in the cycling world, but have taken hold of this their initial race with a vim that promises good results. In their preparations the knowledge of an experienoed hand is discernible, they hav- ing been directed by Ralph M. Thompson, now a resident of Santa Cruz, who was at one time president of the Bay City Wheel- men and chief consul of the California division, League of American Wheelmen. ‘What he doesn’t know about wheeling and race meets is_haraly worth the learning, and he is ably assisted by his business artner, C. W. Hammer, also an old-time an Francisco wheelman. The present officers of the Pilot Wheel- men are: F. W. Swanton, president; L. E. 'W. Pioda, vice-president; H. S. Wanzer, secretary; Ralph M. Thomson, captain; Reuben H. Pringle, first lieutenant; L. Talbot Ware, second lieutenant; Frank Armstrong, bugler; C. E. Lane, standard- bearer. On the last day of the carnival, Satur- day, June 15, there will be a competitive })nrafle of all the prominent wheeling clubs for a valuable trophy. The captains of the various clubs around the bay have an- nounced that they intend calling clubruns with Santa Cruz as the objective point on Friday and Saturday, June 14 and 15. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will start Friday night and ride to San Jose and ride over the mountains early the next morning. The Garden City Cyclers will go over Friday night and also the Reliance Club Wheelmen of Oakland. The Acmes and Bay Citys are talking of going down to- fi_ether on a joint run, their rige to Camp aylor last Sunday having proved so en- joyable. A proposition is also on foot for all the San Francisco and Oakland wheel- men to return together Sunday night by steamer. There will be no rest for the weary on that steamer, surely, if they do. Alfogether the prospect is bright for a most enjoyable three days’outing for all the cyclists who journey to the City of the Cross the latter part of next week, and all who can possibly get away will availthem- selves of the opportunity to have a jolly time and see some good racing. Last Saturday afternoon a number of the members.of the new bicycle club, the Na- tional Road Club, composed of cyclists of the C and G companies of the First Regi- ment, N. G. C., took a run down to San Jose, starting from Fruitvale. It was a pleasure outing and not a test for deter- mining the speed of the members, so they took their’time and reached the Garden City in three hours and a half. On the following day they took a spin to Glen- wood, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and on Sunday evening returned to the City. The new club is captained by J. F. Norton. Captain Kitchen will lead the Acme Club Wheelmen on a run to Novato to- MOrrow morning. Tony Delmas, whose picture is presented herewith, is one of the fastest class B x’,{fil/\ ) [ = {/ \ (‘d'/%l N handicap riders of the Garden City Cyclers. He is young, stockily built and has great endurance, and fights his races out until | the very Jast. His best recent performance was in winning the two-mile handicap class B race at the meet of tbe San Jose Road Club, in_ which were entered such prominent riders as Wells, Foster, Burke, Castleman, Long, Cushing, J. C. and H. C. Smith. He received 180 yards handicap and won his heat in 5:022-5 and the final in 4:45 4-5. With another year's ex- { perience he will rank with the best of them. T. 8. Hall, A.J. Menne, A. Lundberg, G. P. Caldwell, E. S. Battles and F. L. Day, the Bay City Wheelmen’s “kinder- garten,” will start to-morrow for a two weeks’ wheeling and fishing trip in the vicinity of La Honda and Pescadero. The Golden Gate Cycling Club will hold a five-mile handicap road race over the San Mateo course on Sunday, June30. The (N i Sunday, June 23, to Niles Canyon, and will be participated in by every club be- longing to the association. This should make a turnout of several hundred wheel- men, The two previous runs of this nature were very successful, and the committee having this one in charge will endeavor to make it eclipse its predecessors. g The cyclers of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association from this City, Oakland and San Jose will assemble to-night at Niles Canyon, where a large bonfire will be built and the riders treated to a sort of barbecue by the ladies of the association residing in Alameda County. Unattached wheelmen are cordially invited to join in the feast, and should arrange to be at Niles by 8:30 p. M. 5 Oscar Osen of San Jose, recently declared a professional by the racing board, will ride against two iast horses—Laura M aad Ottinger- -morrow morning af Agricul- ark, San Jose. : The Garden City Cyclers of San Jose will bold a club run to-morrow, under Captain Delmas, to the Mountain Home. on the Liagas, where a picnic lunch will be served. The following Saturiay they will ride to Santa Cruz to attend the races there. + The Alameda Cyclers will have a run to- morrow to Mill Valley under their captain. W. Henshaw Stinson and James Coff- roth of the®Olympic Club Wheelmen will start to-day on a tour to Los Angeles via the coast. They will each carry about thirty pounds/of baggzage. From here to San Jose they will be paced by H. W. Spalding this afternoon. They will then TONY DELMAS, THE PRIDE OF THE GARDEN CITY CYCLERS. i { race is for club members only. There will be three prizes, the first being a high-grade bicycle valued at $105, the second a $40 suit of clothes and the third a club nniform, value §30. Certainly such trophies are well worth contesting for. Some of the prob- able starters are Captain Quadt, Lieutenant Siebe and Messrs. Stiegeler, Maas, Fenster- macher, Schwartz, Holler and Dwyer. These men are already actively training for the event. Captain Quadt has called a run of the Golden Gate Club for to-morrow to San Mateo and return, starting at 8 A. . from the clubrooms, 228 Thirteenth street. Lieutenant Siebe of this club rode to Santa Cruz last Wednesday, returning Thursday, making 160'miles in two days. Captain Charles Etting will lead the members of the Pacific Cycling Club on a run to Halfmoon Bay and return to-day and to-morrow. The riders will take the 3:30 train this afternoon to San Mateo, and wheel from there to their destination, returning Sunday. The Outing Road Club will have a run to-morrow from Sausalito to San Rafael, leaving on the 9 A. . ferry. I should ad- vise them to take the new grade over Corte Madera Hill. Itisin much better condi- tion, and the ascent and descent are much more gradual than the old road. Turn to the left about 300 yards north of Alto sta- tion instead of to the right, as formerly. Nearly the entire trip will be found rid- able by going this way. Georfe Stamper has been elected presi- dent of the Outing Club, vice C. Shilling, resigned. Mr. Stamper is an old-time and popular wheelman, having been promi- nent in the Bay City Club in the palmy days of the “ordinary.” He will make for the club, a splendid executive officer. Bert Mayer of the Outings leaves to-day for the Blne Lakes, there to join Captain Davis, and together they will tour that region awheel. Sol Peiser of the same club made & century last Sunday. The Alpha Cycling Club is the name of a ladies’ wheeling organization recently formed in the Mission, with the following officers: Mrs. Keller, president ; Miss May Wynne, vice-president; Miss McCarthy, secrel Miss Annie Pendergast, treas- urer; iss Vermeil, sergeant-at-arms; Mrs. H. F. Wynne, captain; Mrs. Smith, first lieutenant; Mrs. Yocum, second lieu- tenant. The club has adopted as its em- blem the Greek letter *‘G,” and starts off with a membership of twenty-two. Meet- ings are held each Wednesday eveninT at the rooms of the California Cycling Club, through the courtesy of that organization. This morning at 8 o'clock the club will have a run to the park and Cliff House, and to-morrow at the same hour another to the Presidio. The members of the Libert; Club will enjoy a run to the Cliff and Pre- sidio to-morrow morning. Only seven members completed the century run last Sunday, owing to breakdowns en route. Messrs. 8. Mitchell, J. Thompson and F. Gherini have been elected members of the Liberty Club, bringirr;fi the roll up to ;mny-mne, with several more to be voted or. The San Francisco Road Club will have a pleasant run to San Jose to-night by moonlight. Captain L. L.Korn requests the members to assemble jat Seventh and Market streets to-night at2l1 o’clock sharp. An easy pace will be set, and the rhi)e should prove very enjoyable. An institution calling itself a bicycle stable has recently been started down- town for the storing of wheels during the daytime for those who are desirous of rid- ing to work and have no place to keep their mounts. The success u? such a ven- ture here is problematical. The California Cycling Club will hold the final of three one-mile handicap club races to-morrow morning at the Central Park track at 9:30 o’clock. Those who Cycling have qualified in the previous races for | this final, and their handicaps are: J. W. Harvey, scratch; F. Struven 80 yards, A. Theisen 100, W. Sternberg 135, T. Wall 155, C. Birdsall 160. After the race Captain Burk has called a run over the San l\fnteo five-mile course, returning via the Spring Valley lakes, a very pretty ride. On June 23 the club will hold & road race over this course for members only; entries must be sent to Captain Burk by June 11. The annual joint run of the California Associated Cycling Clubs will be held on fall into the hands of Joseph B. Carey, cycliug editor of the Mercury, who calcu- lates they shall reach Gilroy the same night. The Tribune Cyclers of Gilroy will take them in hand Sunday and intend to ride with them to Paso Robles. At Santa Barbara they will stop one day and three days at Los _Angeles. They are both good fellows and I hope our southern brethren will treat them cordially. L. E. Hickok, well known in the gcle trade of Los Angeles, is in the “city.==He says none of the dealers there can get sufficient wheels to snim]y their orders. The racers there are all {raining for the big‘meet on July 4. here will be an entertainment and even- ing at home at the parlors of the Imperial Cycling Club Thursday evening, June 13, for members only. A commifttee is also arranging for an entertainment at a local hall in the near future. J. J. McDonald has resigned from the directorate of the Imperials and E. W. Adams has beean elected to the vacancy. The club will run some handicap races at the Central Park track to-morrow morning to bring out new racing talent. The events will be a half- mile scratch, half-mile handicap and one- mile hnndicaE. . M. Byrne of the Im- perials won the half-mile scratch race at the Portland meet Wednesday and W. C. Howe of the same club came second in the one-mile scratch. The members of the Royal Cycling Club will enjoy a ‘‘blind”” run to-morrow under Lieutenant Sternberg. They were all out on a moonlight run to the beach last ‘Wednesday evening. The club has moved Agtolits new quarters, and is progressing nely. Charles 8. Wells, the crack racer of the Bay City Wheelmen, will attempt o lower the world’s five-mile road record of 11:19, over the San Mateo course. He will be paced by some of his fellow-members on tandems, Harry Terrill, E. Languetin, S. B. Vincent, T. A. Griftiths, A. J. Menne and T. 8. Hall assisting in this regard. The necessary complement of timers and judges will be on hand to vouch for the trial, should it be made in record time. He will start about 2 p. »..and Captain Dodge has announced a club run to wit- ness the event. Wells is one of the fastest riders on the coast, and many think he can do the trick. SpaLpING, e WITH THE ANGLERS. Why San Andreas Lake W1ll Remain Closed Until July. The officers of the Spring Valley Water Company, who have the giving of invita- tions to anglers to fish on the company’s lakes, have finally concluded not to open the San Andreas Lake until July 1. This change was recently made. at the sugges- tion of one of the Fish Commissioners who is of the opinion that those men who have made the 8an Andreas Lake their principal headquarters in latter years have no re- spect for the fish laws and would, if al- lowed to angle, catch black bass before July 1, on which day the season for black bass fishing will open. It is too bad that any member of the Fish Commission'would or should enter- tain any such opinion of the anglers who have enjoyed many pleasant days on the lake in question, and it goes without say- ing that as a body the anglers who have had the good fortune to receive invitations from the water company to angle on its preserve are gentlemen who have respected the rules of the company and the game and fish laws as well. As to black bass it is a well-known fact that during the time the lake was open to anglers last season there were not over thirty bass caught, notwithstanding that all kirds and man- ners of lines were employed for their cap- ture by the most skillful of fishermen. Now, then, asto the trout. Experience must certainly convince the directors of the company that in the months of July and August the trout are soft and flabby, because of the warmth of the water, an consequently they cannot be expected to make as gaine a fight as in May and June, when the water is cool and of the tempera- ture suitable to trout. ‘The decrease in the numbers of bass of San Andreas Lake is due to a disease which they contracted from feeding upon the lit- tle sticklebacks. About two years ago the latter were dying by thousands, and the banks of the lake were strewn with them. On examination it was discovered that the little fishes were suffering from the at- tacks of a tapeworm, which the bass event- ually contracted, and there is no doubt that this same worm has been the means of thinning the lake of its choicest fish—the black bass. If the intelligent Fish Commissioner, Wwho was of the opinion that the decima- tion of the bass of San Andreas Lake had been caused by anglers, would consult some of the experienced fishermen on the matter he would be enlightened on a sub- ject that will prove of interest to him and 1o the scientists of the coast. The bass of Crystal Spring Lake exist on the gold fish which were planted there several years ago and consequently they have flourished and grown fat and lazy. Some of the gold fish of Crystal Lake are now as large as a good- sized trout. The anglers of this City, who are many, would be better plensedy if the Fish Com- missioners gave more attention to the stocking of coast streams which have al- most run barren of fish, and it is but nat- ural that the lovers of a grand sport would look anxiously toward the opening of the picturesque San Andreas Lake when all other angling places are—in the language of those who missed being born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth— played out. The Supervisors have appointed a man named Mogan a game warden. Several Ex:omment sportsmen and anglers of this City have been asked if taey knew the re- cently appointed Warden, but a negative answer was always given, The only man who does know anything concerning Mogan as a sportsman is Supervisor King, who at one time owned soine sporting dogs. King was never accused of having killed a quail or a crow on the Winfi! but he has been seen missin; as big an object as a ferry-boat on several occasions. Mogan is now under the wing of King, and that fact aione should satis! 'y sports- men and anglers that the City is saved so far as the sporting end of it is concerned. Mogan is said to know something about steelheads and barnyard pheasants, and if there should be a more extended knowl- edge required of a man to properly fill the office of Game Warden o? the City and County of San Francisco Supervisor “Joking” would be pleased to know. Fish Commissioner Emeric and some friends left yesterday for Monterey, where they will enjoy the salmon-fishing that is now to be had in that bay. Emeric has had a new sardine prepared especially for deep-water salmon-fishing, with which he expects to accomplish great things to-day. A gentleman who returned yesterday from Truckee states that the river is still very high, and that anglers who are figur- ing on a trip to that place should defer their outing until July at least, as the fish- ing on the Truckee will be very late this year. What fish have been taken so far were caught by those who used the worm or spoon. The report in a morning paper that rainbow trout of six pounds were canght is not true. The fish taken were Pf'yf'mmid Lake trout, a slovenly fish that affords no sport to the angler and is worth- less as a table fish. A recent letter from the McCloud Riyer gives very flattering reports of the fishing that is now to be baé)mm. The writer states, however, that anglers should wait about two weeks before making their ap- pearance on that beautiful stream. James Watt astonished the whippers of Paper-mill Creek last Saturday by exhibit- ing a beautiful rainbow troutof one E)ound, which be caught in a deep pool near Tocaloma. Mr. Watt just caught this trout purposely to convince the knowing ones that if large fish can be taken, he can accomplish the trick when others fail. A consignment of large-mouth black bass will arrive in a few days from the East. This grand fish will be placed in Russian River and other waters adjacent to San Francisco, Fish Commissioner H. Emeric states positively that all of the principal rivers and streams within easy reach of this City will be stocked with brown trout next year. Mr. Emeric is of the opinion that the stocking of coast streams with the fry of steelheads or rainbowsis so much timeand labor lost, as the youngsters when they become seven or eight inches in length de- part for the ocean. C. E. Cook of this City, A. A. Brown, N. W. McGary, Professor F. A. Ablaing, Louis Leiber and N. R. Carson of San Jose will Jeave to-day for an extended fishing trip, making their headquarters at Point Sur, Monterey County. Anglers desiring first-class trout-fishing at present should, by all means, repair to the Klamath River, which is within the immediate vicinity of the Klamath Hot Springs. Anglers who are now enjoyin their recreation there are having gran gport with the rainbows—the native trout of the stream. In Shovel Creek, a stream which empties into the Klamath River near the springs, excellent sport is had catchin, New Hampshire trout, a splendid fisl which has grown in size from fingerlings to one pound in weight. It will be remem- bered by anglers who fished the Klamath three years ago that the Fish Commis- sioners planted a large number of Eastern trout fry in Shovel Creek. The spotted beauties are now affording good sport. Governor Budd and nephew, both of whom are ardent sportsmen, are atthe present time having excellent fishing in the Klam- athand Shovel Creel i THE GUN. Formation of an Inanimate-Target Assocliation — Notes. Trap shooting, so called, is gaining in popularity. Each Saturday and Sunday clubs organized for this particular branch of sport meet at their respective shooting- grounds and enjoy many hours of sport, either in grassing live birds or smashing inanimate targets. To-day the Alameda County Gun Club will hold a live-pigeon shoot at the Oak- land track, and to-morrow the shooting contests announced are: Empire Gun Club, at Alameda Point; Nimrod Gun Club, at Bay View, and Olympic Gun Club, at Oak- land track. On Wednesday the Country Club will shoot pigeons at Oakland track, On the 15th the San Francisco Gun Club will shoot at birds at Oakland track, and on the 16th the Recreation Gun Club will burn powder at the same place. As inanimate-target shooting is fast taking the place of “tame’-pigeon shoot- ing, the following letter addressed to the Gun Clubs’ and Sportsmen’s associations of this City and Btate by the secretary of the Olympic Gun Club with the view of forming a California inanimate-target as- sociation is self-explanatory : The Olympic Gun Club of San Francisco by these presents sends greeting and submits to your attention, us sportsmen and lovers of the gun, a plan to advance the sport of inanimate- target shooting in California. The devotion of your club to this form of sgort s well known, and the Olympic Gun Club solicits your co-operation in an effort to O;F:l?h'le .;l'; u:laoc‘lation lwh(ch shall inciude & € inanimate-target clubs in San Fi and throughout the State. mn The proposed association would be modeled after the style of similar associations in the [East, and it could be known as the California Inanimate-Target Association or by some other name m}unny comprehensive. The plan in view would make the proposed association theofficial head of inanimate-target shooting in this State. Each affiliated ciub would have representation by delegates to the board of governors or such other governing body as might be agreed upon, Human experience in many fields has proved the truth of the old saying, “In union there is strength.” This time-tried adage it is now de- sired to apply to trap-shooting, to the end that the Tt may be advanced and opportunity afforded for the development of the novice and the bringing out of recrults to swell the ranks of target-shooters, who now lack in strength and opportunity for sport only for want of proper organization. In this circular letter the Olympic Club sub- mits t0 your consideration only the bare out- line of a L?ropomsd plan of organization. Your ration is asked with other clubs to npipli the details and to complete such an organiza- :}?ndu will fully accomplish the results de- ed. The cost of membership to the various clubs ‘would be comparatively uguu. A membership fee need be exacted only in such amount as would supply moneys sufficient to carry out the association’s most important object. This object would be 10 hold at least once during each trap season weat, st ’Gm m:::snfi b‘:&gfi'&m % team shoonnf for valuable prizes, and, per- haps, competition for medals emblematic of the team and individual championship of the State for one year. The plan suggested is, we think, one which will commend itself to the a[;lprnvn of every sportsman, and especially to that fast-growln% army of gun lovers who enjoy the sport o shooting “at the traps. Prompt action is Decessary in order that an association may be formed and arrangements made for the holding of an initial tournament during the present season. In order that the matter may be fully discussed it has been determined to calla meeting,at which, if deemed advis- able, the California Inanimete Target Associa- tion may receive an official start. Such a meeting ‘will be beld in the rooms of the Olymslc Gun Club, Olympie Club_building. on June 8, 1895, at 8 o’clock . M., and your club is asked to be represented by three delegates authorized to speak in your behalf and to take such formal action as they may deem proper. A similar invitation has been sent to all the known gun clubs in the State, so that we have every reason to expect a large and representa- tive gathering. Should your club from any cause be unable tosend three delegates try to have atleast one reg)resemative present. I1f even that should be impossible a letter stating the atti- tude and position of your club in the matter will be thankfully received. If the gun clubs will thus unite for the good of our common cause therecan be no doubt as to the complete success of their efforts. The formation of such an association as proposed would merk the dawn of & new era in the history of inanimate- target shooting in California. ~Without boast- ing it may be said that with such union of strength and purpose our annual tournaments could be made the largest and most s;xccessu}l eventsof the kina in the entire West. We have shooting material in abundance and all 1t needs is development. Gun men generylly will count upon your hearty aid and co-operation in this movement for the common good. Respectiully, THE OLYMPIC GUN CLUB. STANLEY G. SCOVERN, Secretary. dita i i GAME AND FISH LAWS. A Very Useful Reference for Sports- men and Anglers.

The Imperial Athletic Club of Colma almost gave up the idea of giving an ex- hibition of fisticuffs this month as good material was bard to find. At the last moment, however, when Del Hawkins had concluded unwisely that the club could not get along without him as a star performer, Danny Mahoney put in an unexpected appearance and inquired of Matchmaker Frank Allen if there was anv chance of an engagement. Allen in- formed Mahoney that if he considered himself a fitting mark to' go up against Anthony, the champion bantam of Aus- tralia, the club would probably take the matter under consideration. Mahoney was not in the least perturbed or alarmed when he heard of Anthony, and quickly informed Allen that he be- lieved himself as good if not a better man than the Australian, and would meet him provided the latter would agree to weigh in at the ringside at 114 pounds. Mahoney has time and again demon- strated his ability to hold his own, that is from a scientific point of view, against the cleverest man of the bantam class. Allen was aware of this, but he was_doubtful if Mahoney of to-day was the Mahoney of four years ago. ‘The little local bantam was given a try- out with a clever feather-weight, and he not only astonished Allen, but also the man he boxed against. Mahoney had the better of his opponent from start to finish in hitting, stopping and general ring tactics. The trial bout was quite satisfac- tory, and as a result Mahoney was matched against Anthony, and the contest, limited to twenty rounds, will be decided in the Imperial Club of Colma on the evening of the 28th inst. The bantams will go into training im mediately, and the patrons of the fistic sport who are fond of seeing good hard punching by clever men will not be disap- go_mled in this race between two wefi- rillea boxers. Anthony is probably more aggressive in his style of fighting, but Mahoney is full of tricks and will puz- zle the Australian i more ways than one When the time comes for hot exchanges. The preliminaries to the event of the even- ing will afford all who like to see hard and rough punching a good run for their money. S e A NEW WHIST CLUB. It Wil Be Organized by and Com- posed of Amateurs Only. It will be remembered by whist-players that some trouble arose in the San Fran- cisco Whist Club a few weeks ago among the members who had strenuously opposed the introduction of gambling. The upshot was that those members who played solely for amusement resigned from the club, and, as will be seen by the following com- munication, copies of which have been mailed to prominent whist-players, a new club will soon spring into existence, which will be an amateur club in the strict sense of the word.
