UMPIRE. e HANDBALL. Players Who Are Still Wasting Val- uable Time In Talk. Handball-players are wondering when seme of the matches that haye been talked of for some weeks will take definite shape.

Every repa n for the match had been made, hut unfortunately McManus, while play- ing a few days ago, struck the wall of the court with his right hand instead of the ball, and he is now under a physician’s care. As soon as his hand is all right again the match, which will _be the best of nine games of fifteen aces, will be played.

Grand Annual Festival of the Cali- fornla Schuetzen Club. Lovers of rifle-shooting, of whom there are many in this City, will have their greatest inning of the year next Sunday at the San Rafael Schuetzen Park. Philo the veteran marksman and patron has the arrangement of oting festival of the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club in hand, and that ns success in every particular in con- th the shoot. Jacoby has for s past been working like a ver in the hope that this festival will ine far above anything that has been i troduced on-this coast in the way of rifle- shooting. The prizes that are offered are far and away ahead—that is in and merit—of those wh thought of in past yearly competi Contests at the “man ring’’ and point ta gets, will, of course, constitute the p: cipal events during the tournament, which will terminate on the 25th inst. All that is necessary for any lover of e-shooting to become convinced of the value of the be shot for and the me that awaits all patrons of a| z pastime is a glance at the big| programme. The shooting will commence ¥ on Sunday morning, the 18th inst., and it is confidently expected that at least one ton of lead will flatten on the targets before the last report will bring to an end the first day’s shooting of the great shooting festival of 18 P SPORTING AT FRESNO. What the Sportsmen Have Accom- plished in Fresno County. FRESNO, CAL., Aug. 8.—For several years e Visalia Sportsman’s Club has been dili- | stocking the re County with the woods and swamps with but just exactly what had b its efforts was not kn ice game the su isting of S. M. B er and him gun—and stari true lovers douton the 10th dition. )m Visalia tirely to the Inyo County line that we mi know to the fullest extent the possibilities afforded by our mountains by way of sport with rod and gun : We found the efforts . All the way hirty miles to the r salia, where we came to the first river thet had been the object of the attentions of theclub, to Mount Whiiney, we found trout- fishing splendid indeed. With'our party it was never & question of how meny we coula catch but how meany did we want. Everswhere we caughtall we could eat, and we voted the mountains of the eastern part of Tulare County the Mecca of the disciples of Izaak Wal- top. In theway of stocking the woods with birds the club’s efforts have not been so success- {ul, although quail, dove and grouse are plen- tiful. Deer and bear are here also, and afford no little sport. Deer are not so plentiful as they were a few years ago. Through the efforts of the club in the way of prosecutions for un- lawiul killing of deer, and the constant watch- ings of Game Warden M.L.Weaver,it is ex- pected that the pleasures from the chase will P much ennanced in a few years. Heretofore game laws have not been enforced in any man- ner, and killing of deer and game birds has been carried on indiscriminately. These prac- tices are slowly but surely being stopped now. Before I close this article I must say a word about & trip_to Mount Whitney. I have been about in the Sierras quite a good deal in my life, and also through some of the grandest scenic parts of the Rockies—for instance, tho Grand Canyon of the Colorado and Southern Colorado—but for really awful grandeur and thoroughly besutiful ~scenery the country through which one travels io reach Mount Whitney from the western side is far in the lead. The canyon of Big Kern River, from Big Kern Lake up, is picturesque and grand be- yond description. The river runs through a sort of valley, on either side of which rise per- pendicular granite walls to the height of from 1000 to 2000 feet, forming scenery that in- spires one with awe, even though he has no ap- preciation of nature’s beauties in general. A 1rip through this wonderful region of preci- pices, crags, peaks and extinct volcanoes is well worth any one’s time and trouble. U. T. CLOTFELTER. s SPORT AT CATALINA. Blg Catches of Jewfish, Barracuda and Sharks In Avalon Bay. AVALON, Aug. 8.—The yacht Whitewings slipped her moorings this morning snd sailed away from Avalon Bay, where she has been anchored for the past two weeks, bound for Santa Moniea with Commodore J. V. Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ross Jackson and W. A. Carnes of Ban Francisco on board. Mr. Carnes has been at Catalina since June 15, and during that time has-made, perhaps, the most phe- nomenal ‘fishing record of any man in the State. His catches have ircluded all varieties of fish known to these waters—yellowtail, albicore, barracuda, rock bass, jewfish, sculpin, Tmackerel, pompano, sharks, tunas, fying-fish, Sheepshead—and from June 15 to August 7 this intrepid angler has landed 2853 pounds of figh by actual weight, Of these fish four were endrmous jewfish, (he largest weighing 340 pounds and measuring 6 feet8 inches in length. All these fish, except the monster mentioned sabove, were taken with rod ands and expects that his two | | | | the party, assisted by Mr. Carnes, landed" 750 pounds of choice denizens of the deep, includ- ing the 266-pound jewfish taken by Mrs. Jack- son. The party took 200 pounds of albicore while on & pleasure trip to San Clemente Island on board the yacht San Diego. W. B. Wilshire, president of the Wilshire ‘THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, I Safe Company of San Francisco,, arrived at | Cataling Tuesday evening, accompanied by his daughters, and yesterday went on a fishing trip with a party of gentlemen and caught 150 ounds of barracuds and yellowtails, several 20-pound fish being caught’ by the children in the party. Mr. Wilshire had expected to leave Catalina to-dsy, but was so ‘much pleased with the sport and the general merits of the place that he has decided to remain several days longer. SE TS T SPORTS AT HEALDSBURG. Girls Who Can Ride Bloycles Like Men—After a Grizzly. HEALDSBURG, Aug. 9.—The Healdsburg wheelmen hold a race meet Monday afternoon at Luce’s racetrack, open only to local riders. The events will include: mile, one-fourth of & mile, one-third of a mile, hali a mile, three-fourths of a miie, one mile, two-mile and five-mile races. Over forty wheelers will enter the contesis, | among the number being several ladies. Interest in wheeling is on the increase. Many of the gentler sex are emong the speed- iest riders in this section, anl on long runs Mrs. A. W. Garrett, Miss Lizzie Bond and Lizzie Butterfield are able to keep up with any of our sprinters. Miss Bond recently made a seventy- eight mile run in nine hours over illy kept roads. Many fine bucks have been slaughtered in the mountains near this city during the week. Frank Koenig brought in a fine four-pointer this week, while Miss Hattie Noble, oneof the best rifle shots in the county, killed a buck that tipped the beam at 102 pounds. Wild pigeons are coming in and hunters report gray Squirrels as being more numerous than for many years past. R. K. Truitt, whose ranch is pear the Gey- sers, says & large bear has been annoying him considerably of late, and early next week Teb Young, Charles Wickham, Ed Beeson and Ed Haigh will go out to try for his scalp.

A VERY TAME DAY'S RACING. Don Plo Pico Came Very Near Landing a Race at the Long Odds of 50 to 1. Jack Atkins did not cut in with the other pencilers yesterday, which reduced the num- ber to seven firms doing business. As good as 15 to 1 was laid against Don Pio Pico getting the place. He was ably ridden by E. Hill, and but for losing his wind less than & sixteenth frem the wire would have been an easy winner.

Frank Flesher, the owner of Sympathetic's Last and for several years foreman for “Curly” | Shields, was about the happiest man on the }mck yesterday. Corinne Buckingham, who won the second race, is under his cherge, and added to this, Mr. Shields presented to Frank | aud young Riley, the jockey, jointly, a fine- | 1ooxing yeerling by Hindoo that arrived from Kentucky on Thursday. Frank had a great fancy for Dungarven, end he declares the youngster to be a counterpart of that good racehorse. Frank is a careful and painstaking trainer and deserves success.

[Drawn from a photograph by Watrous.] good catch with their fishing tackle. The salmon were the marks aimed at, and, as will be seen by the accompanying illustra- tion of one day’s work, the gentlemen suc- ceeded in making a record. The large fish weighed thirty - eight pounds and the smaller ones from eight to twelve gounds each. The three gentlemen have decided to come to Qapitola every year, being en- thusiastic in Tegard to the sport to be ob- tained there. All are experts with the rod and line, and have erected on the bluff overlooking the ocean fine cottages for the accommodation of their families. PROTECTING FREE LABOR. A Protest From the Manufacturers’ Asso- clation Against Employing Convicts. The Manufacturers’ Association has ad- dressed a letter to the Board of Prison Directors protesting against the employ- ment of comvict labor where it comes in direct competition with free labor. The letter says in part: . Our association does not know what action your board contemplates taking with a view of further employing convicts, and we would be pleased to recéive from you a communication upon this subject. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association does not desire to hamper any State commissions, but we must rotect the interest of our members as far as ies in our power, if their complaints are just. The association sent the following com- munication to the Harbor Commissioners yesterday: To the Honorable the State Board of Harbor Commissioners, City—GESTLEMEN: We are in- formed that it has been decided to use marble in the construction of the new ferry depot. We therefore take the liberty of calling your atten- tion to the fact that & very superior quality of marble is produced in the ‘State of California, and we most respectiully request that in pre- Faring specifications for the ferry depot Cali- ornia marble be designated. Thanking you in advance, I am for the association, yours very truly, L. R. MEAD, Secretary. R G bl AN OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE. Charles Geraskowsky, a Russian Exile, Took His Own Life. Charles Geraskowsky, alias Charles Eskey, died at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning, from morphine poison- ing. He was found in a comatose state at 105 Grant avenue and never recovered consciousness, although the doctors worked over him for an hour. Geraskowsky was a Russian Pole, whose and reel. Aifter the arrival of Commodore Coleman, end Mr.and Mrs. J. Ross Jackson, sympathies were with the nihilists. To escape imprisonment in Siberia he fled to America and has been here a number of years. He taught music, played at con- certs and with occasional Temittances from his relatives in Russia managed to support his wife and five children. He was in the habit of using morphine, and once attempted to shoot himself while out in the park. Her Name Changed in Court. Mre. Johanna E. Ritter of 2225 Broadway obtained permission from Judge Daingerfield yesterday to change her name to Johanna E. McNichol. Mrs. Ritter is the daughter of August Drucker of 1422 Fulton street. She bunlD—gelM‘d boy named Alexander Me- Nichol, the son of a former husband, and she asked that the change of name be granted asa matter of convenience to her and Ler son, ——————— An Old Case Dismissed. The old suit of Bouldin vs. Phelps was dis- missed in the United States District Court yes- terdey. Bouldin laid claim to Mare Island and sned Commandant Phelps for possession. This was in 1880, and although_the case went againsethe plaintiff on the Yreliminlry hear- ing, nothing was done in_view of dismissing the complaint until yesterday. furlong handicap, and that was a hummer. It gave Hinrichs, the “St. Louis Garrison,” another opportunity of showing what a really polisned artist he is in the saddle. His ride on Ali Baba would have done credit to a Taral or a Griffin. The betting on this particular event was of the spasmodic variety; the coin would pour in with a rush one moment only to be followed by a stagnant spell. Ali Babi opened the favorite, but drifted back in the betting to fours, when a stiff play cut his price to 3 tol. McFarlane opened at 24 to 4, was backed down to6to5and again receded to twos. A steady play kept the odds against Nervoso around 12 to 5. Charmion—not the old Char- mion—and imp. Ivy were the other starters. There was little else in the race from start to _finish, but Ali Baba and McFarlane. Hinrichs took the former out in front when the flag fell, with Charmion at his head the first quar- ter. McFarlane forged ahead of the mare at the far turn and became the contending horse. It was a decidedly warm tussle through the stretch between the two leacd- ers. Opposite the drawgate McFarlane had his head in front, and Ali Baba's chance looked about as bright as Cleve- land’s does for a third term. Hinrichs had not given up, however, and forty yards from home made a final bid. By a mas- terly piece of horsemanship, using whi and spur, he managed to aecain get Afi Baba’s nose in front, and as the two horses flashed past the finishing post the big bay’s nose was just discernible in the lead. The run was made in the excellent time of 1:14. Charmion, who fell back, came on again and finished a close third, but a length away. The card did not prove attractive enough to draw much of a crowd, there being a noticeable falling off in_the attendance from the day preceding. Favorites or sec- ond choices won all of the races up to the last, wiuen A1 Baba upset calculations. The opening race, a five and a half fur- long dash for maiden two-year olds, came very near furnishing a surprise. Lady Leinster, an outsider, and Don Pio Pico., a 50 to 1 shot, made all the running and headed the field into the stretch. The Don now took the lead and looked an easy win- ner until about a hundred yards from the wire, when he faltered and was passed by Aggravator, the 6 to 5 favorite, who won cleverly by three lengths. Quickly backed from 1to2 down to 3to 5 in the betfinfg on the next event, another five and a half furlong run, Corinne Buck- ingham opened up a big gap of daylight on her field, but was about pumped out at the finish, winning by but a length from Claire. Ichi Ban was an ordinary third. There was little to choose in thebetting on the third race between Johnny Capron and Addie M. The latter finally closed a slight choice at 2 to 1, with 11 to 5 marked against Johnny. The race simmered down toa drive between the pair and Johnny Capron gained the verdict simply through Piggott outriding Riley. Warrago came fast at the end, finishing third but a head away. Bn}z:ked down from 9 to 5to6to5 and even, the fourth raee over the short six furlong course was but a ‘‘pipe-opener” for Rose Clark. Piggott bad her under a wrap until the stretch ed, when he let her out and she won romping b{v two lengths from Crawford, on which Weber made a very late ride. . MULHOLLAND.

THE KNIGHTS OF CHESS, Eighteen Players Have Entered Another Senior and Junior Tournament. The Game That Joseph Ney Babson Played at Mechanics’ Institute With Steinitz. The telegraphic chess matches between this City and Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle, have given the royal garfie a great “boom’’ on the Pacific Coast. The Seattle players have already proposed a local tour- nament in order that they may test the relative strength of ‘their players and thus get their best men for a second encounter with 8an Francisco. The local tournaments are now almost finished. In the first-class tourney five out of the eight contestants have finished their games. In the junior tournament seven of the twelve contestants have not yet played their quota of games. Two more tournaments have been already started and eighteen players have entered. Six games have been played with the following results: Thompson won from Lazarus and lost to Samuels, Quiroga won from Palmer, Denton beat Johnson, and Newman and Cutting played their two games, each winning one. The great tournament at Hastings, Eng- land, has attracted a galaxy of chess talent that is, perhaps, without a precedent in the history of the game. Twenty-two re- nowned masters, acting as_representatives from America, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, and England’s own contingent, are now battling for fame and also for prizes, which amount to about $2000. Pillsbury, Albin and Steinitz are Amer- ica’s representatives. Steinitz will have an opportunity to play Lasker, for whose scalp he has been looking since Lasker won the world’s championship. Piilsbury, the Boston boy, defeated Tarrasch, the great German master, in their first game in the tournament. Joseph Ney Babson of Montreal, who has an international reputation as a fine prob- lem composer, plays frequently at the Me- chanics’ Institute chessroom. That he is a brilliant chess-player may be seen by the following game which he contested against William Steinitz, ex-champion of the world.

The organization concluded last night that the best celebration organized labor could stand this year, considering the condition of things, was a mass-meet- ing at Metropolitan Temple during .the evening. ¥ The committee came together after the council adjourned and arranged a-pro- gramme. President M. McGlynn of the council will make the opening speech, and subjects for {wo addresses for uvther speak- ers were designated in the following: ““Abuse of Judicial Jowers'’ and ‘‘Moral Rights of Trades Unions.” committee was present at the council meeting from Federal Labor Union No. 5761 of Oakland—an organization char- tered by the American Federation of Labor—consisting of J. W. Latimer, J. Hopkirk and Eugene Hough, to ask the council to appoint a like committee to act jointly with it and ascertain from Labor 'ommissioner Fitzgerald if he would sup- ply non-union labor to employers in the event of a strike. Delegates Rosenberg, Zahn and Knox were cfiauen to represent the council. A long communication, addressed to Congress, urging such Federal legislation as might provide employment for the unemployed by a system of extensive pub- lic works, and signed by John M. Rey- nolds, president pro tem., and Fred W. Potter, secretary, of the Union for Practical Progress, was read and received the practically unanimous indorsement of the council. The communication discusses present conditions and some causes for them in extenso, and _is supported by some statis- tical data, dividing the population of the country into 1,143,000 rich ‘and well-to-do families on the one hand and 11,557,000 poor and struggling families on the other, according to a table of George E.

DESMOND’S STRAW BONDS. They Cause His Arrest on Two Charges of Perjury and Also of Forgery. John Desmond, alias John Powers, was arrested last evening on Sixth street by Detectives Dillon and Crockett, and booked at the City Prison on two charges of per- jury and two of forgery. The charges grew out of his having two weeks ago, as alleged, forged and swore to two straw-bail bonds for $2000 each. It appears that in the early part of July John Fletcher and his wife (the latter being known as Katie Cooper) were ar- rested for swindling au old lady named Mrs. Goode out of $800. They were exam- ined before Judge Conlanand he held them to answer. Within a few days Desmond went be- fore Judge Troutt and swore that he owned the property situated at 323 Minna street. He gaye the name of Jobn Smith, and upon the showing made Fletcher's wife was released on the worthless bond. Desmond then secured another bond un- der the name of John Powers for the re- lease of Fletcher. He swore that he owned property worth more than $2000 on Tehama street, between Fourth and Fifth, and that his name was Powers. As soon as released the Fletchers fled, it is supposed, eastward, and the discovery was made that the bonds were worthless, The police were notified and they sue- ceeded in running Desmond down on Sixth street last night. Desmond has been in trouble before, having served a two and a half years’ sentence for felony in the House of Correction some years ago. NERVOUS PROSTRATION, AN AMERICAN MALADY CAUSED BY OUR MANNER OF LIVING. From the Star, Washington, D. C. We Americans hurry too much. We do not take time enough for our meals. We haste to get rich, and wear out our bodies by the strain on our nerves. The result is nervous prostra- tion. Probably there is no remedy which will reach all Pink Pills come nearer being & specific for it than anything we know, how- ever, and we_have justinterviewed two Wash- ington people who have tried them for this malady in order to get l%me local testimony. The first is W. Henrich Robb of 809 New Jersey avenue, N. W.: “For a long time,” said Mr. Robb, “I suffered horribly with nervous prostration, and tried many physicians and various hgfny recom- mended remedies without ex slightest benefit. Last fall my business called me to Pittsburgh, Pa., and while there my mother, who remained in Washington, wrote recommending_that I should try Pink Pills. To please her I procured a box. At thistime and for a long period previous my condition was most deplorable. I could not walk alone, and had I attempted to do so would have fallen. After I had taken them for a month I felt stronger than Ihad for many months. I should have mentioned that, until I had been taking the Pink Pills for sbout & week and for & long time before, I had to force myself to eat, but aiter the first box of pills had been used by me my appetite returned and I was able to eat ravenously. I should also have said that when I began taking the Pink Pills my legs had become as seemed to me like wooden legs, and my body was fast becoming in the same condition. The use of two boxes of Pink Pills, however, drove all this trouble away and I re- gard them as & wonderful medicine." . Miss C. E. Lewis, No. 1228 N_street, north- ‘west, one of ihe teachersin Miss Payne’s School of Cookery, says: “Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company’s Pink Pills have been of great bene- fit to my health. I am very much averse to talking for Hnblludon. but feel that I ought to testify briefly to the facts in my case. 1 had suffered from nervousness for a long time and was all rundown. I tried various remedies, but none of them did me any good. Lastsum- mer, while in Delaware, I 'was told of some wonderful cures that had been effected by means of the Pink Pills and bought a box. The{‘he!ped ‘me wonderfully after taking them for the past few weeks. I have been entirel; cured of what was a severe and yrnlnwx attack of nervou;fmuon." ~ A Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con- densed form, all the elements n to give new life and richness to the blood"and re- shattered nerve ar to females, such as larities and all forms of ‘weakness. ’l‘hey uild up the blood and re- store the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from ‘mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
