8 OUTDOOR SPORTS. Interesting Events in the Cycle World and Fields. Sportsmen who are interested in shoot- ing will witness the great Inanimg(e Tgr- get Association’s tournament, which will be held to-morrow at the Oakland track. 1t is expected that fifteen teams will con- test for the valuable prizes that have been offered. The wheelmen are making great head- way as usual, and several important events are slated for the near future, as the rainy season is near at hand, which will mean a stop to road racing. The Pacific Coast championship will be decided to-day on the Berkeley campus. The universities of Berkeley and Stanford will not be so strongly represented as was expected a few weeks ago. The Olympic Club will probably have a majority of en- tries, but it is doubtful if it will do better than take second place. The report that splendid black bass fish- ing is now to be had in the Russian River, near f{iuerneville, has been the meansof sending a large number of anglers in guest of those game and edible fishes. The oarsmen and athletes are having good sport, and the yachtsmen will wind up the season this evening by a dance at the clubhouse in Sausalito. — THE WHEEMEN. W. J. Edwards and W. F. Foster Will | Try for Track Records. | CLUB EVENTS TO-MORROW. Bay City Wheelmen : Stockton Crescent Road Club : Santa Rosa. Imperial Cycling Club: San Jose. Liberty Cycling Club : San Pablo. Olympic Cyclers: Golden Gate Park. The past week has been rather quiet in cycling circles, the theater party in Oak- land Wednesday night and the one in this City Thursday night being the only events | of interest. The latter was a benefit for the California Associated Cycling Clubs and netted quitea tidy sum to the treasury, as it was attended by all the clubs of the City in large numbers. There are a few club runs to-morrow, but no road races, as has been the custom for many Sundays past. The reason is the riders are all training carefully for the an- nual ten-mile event of the associated clubs a week from to-morrow over the San Lean- dro course. This race will attract the fast riders from all the clubs around the bay and there will bea large entry list. Be- sides the usual number of valnable time and place prizes there is the elegant silver cup presented. by the Olympic, pcssession of which is desired by all the clubs, and it will be a great incentive to the riders to do their best. Entries close Monday, October 7, with M. R. Gibson, chairman road-racing and record committee, 612 Hyde street, this City, or can be sent in care of the sec- retary, J. F. Hancock, Nucleus building. Entry fees must accompany all entrie! Handicapper Smyth hopes to have his pa of the work done by Wednesday and then | there will be nothing to do but wait for the race. Every clnb%m miles around will have a run to San Leandro to witness the race. The coast record for ten miles is 25:45, held by G. A. Nissen, and endeavors will be made to lower it if the conditions are fayorable. The Olympic Cyclers will have a run to- morrow under Captain Butz to Golden Gate Park, starting from the Post-street | 0K clubhouse about 10 A. M. The members all have the new uniform, consisting of a blue suit, white cap and maroon sweater, and present a particularly attractive ap- pearance on the club’s runs, The racing board has issued its bulletin, No. 22, dated October 3, 1895, as follows: SANCTIONS GRANTED. 3 Sedplember 28—Crekcent Cycling Club, Oak- and.

Simpson of the Bay City ‘Wheelmen, who was formerly with Mohrig, has gone to Palo Altwo to attend the Stan- ford University. He will also carry on a cyc]infi business there. At the meelin§ of the Camera Club Cy- clists last Thursday evening Dr. Hammond read a paper on the healthfulness of bicy- cling, which proved very interesting and was* entirely in favor of the machine asa means of exercise and recreation. After the reading the paper was submitted to the members for general discussion. “The Liberty Cycling Club will havea run to San Pablo to-morrow, leaving gn the 9:30 A. M. boat. A whist tournament will shortly be inaugurated at the clubrooms to while away the long winter evenings. H. C. Parks has been erected a member. The big rin of the Bay City Wheelmen to Stockton will start to-night. No wheels will be taken, but the men will depart on the river steamer at 5 ». M. from Washing- ton-street Wharf and return here at 6 A. M. Monday. The fare, including meals, berths and everythin, only $2 90, and in a circular to the members, announcing the ran, Secretary Howard facetiously re- marks: ‘“‘Come, this is cheaper than re- maining at home.” About g;ty members of the club will make the trip, and any one who has ever been to Stockton with the Bay Citys will know whbat a jolly time they’ll have. Being unable to secure a track in this vi- cinity the Imperial Cycling Club has been obliged to declare its yrvfioued race meet for October 7 off. There will be a run of thé club to-morrow to San Jose, leavingon the 8 A, M. boat and returning on the steamer from Alviso. The pace will be slow, as the scorching elemeht will go ona later boat. Messrs. Egan and Jaegling have purchased a tandem and will lead the scorchers a merry clip. The Imperials are making preparations for a party next month. There will be a meeting of the members next Monday night. In the road race of the San Francisco Road Club last Bunday, L. L. Leavitt and George Hamlin, the two scratch men, tied * y, J. . | W.H. | race, for he assumed the leaa and won the in Athletic for best time and fourth place. A special meeting of the members was held after the race, and it was decided, if the two con- testants were willing, to have them ride off the tie at some near future date, with tandem pace-making, to decide who is en- titled to the prizes, and also in the en- deavor to lower the five-mile record. The Outing Road Club has disbanded ana the members will join other clubs, a good many going into the San Francisco Road Club.” While it lasted the club was very successful and held several road events and many pleasant evenings at home at the clubrooms. A letter from Harry F. Terril], the great class A rider, to one of his clubmates in the Bay City Wheelmen, reads as follows: | WasHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24, 1895, met Wells and Bob in Philadelphia on the 21st inst. They rode there, but did notwin any- thing. The weather is terribly hot here, rang- ing from 96 to 103 degrees. We went from Philadelphia to Baltimore and from there here. Bob and Wells left here to-day for Louisville; I ‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1895. The provisions of the proposed ordinance were generally approved, and the only strenuous objection was made to the pro- vision requiring riders to keep to the right of the center of the roadway under all circumstances. It was also suggested that an effort be made to extend the rule requiring lamps at night to extend to other vehicles as well as bicycles, and that the limit of speed be set at ten miles an hour instead of eight. The president was empowered to appoint a committee to confer with other clubs concerning the proposed ordinance and to present the matter to the Board of Super- visors, if a_hearing was granted. David McT. Marshall of the Bay City W heelmen suffered a severe fall in_Golden Gate Saturday, caused by his handle bars being loose and turning suddenly. He was confined to his room for several days, but isnow out again. A. E. Kellom and H. W. Welch, who were severely bruised from falls taken in the club's road race two weeks ago, are rapidly getting better. Harry Larkin, who fell from a roof and was not expected to live, is very much im- roved in condition, and the doctors say e will recover. He is being faithfully at- tended b{ King Rhys, and other members are with him alternately all the while. R. M. Welch, representative of the Na- tional racing board, is in Fresno this week attending the convention of bankers, of which he is secretary. Captain A. Bearwald has called a club run of the Crescent Road Club to Santa Rosa for to-day and to-morrow, lenving on the 5 o’clock Tiburon boat to-night and re- turning Monday morning. Wilbur Edwards has received a sanction to ride for records on the Garden City H. B, FREEMAN, THE NEW CLASS A FLYER Of THE BAY CITY WHEELMEN. will follow in abouta week.

The regular bi-monthly meeting of the | California Associated Cycling Cilubs will | be held to-night at the rooms of the | California Cycling Club, Twenty-second | and Folsom streety, The princiral busi- | ness to be transacted will be the election of | officers for the ensuing year.

Eight applications for membershl)) will be brought up for con- sideration from the following clubs: Ala- meda Cyclers, Call Bicycle Club, Diamond Cycling Club, Golden Gate Cycling Club, Liberty Cycling Ciub, Royal Cycling Club, San_Francisco Road Ciub ana Waverly Cyciing Club. Itis doubtful if the Royal. Club will be accepted unless its differences with the Crescent Road Club are settled, as the delegates are very firm on this point and will not accept a club containing members expelled from another club' for nomgayment of dues—this'being a rule of the by-laws—until such back dues haye been paid in full. The other seven clubs w(tll be elected, however, at te-night's meeting, so that the members.can enter the association’s teu-mile race next Sun- dav. if desired. There is little new 1n league affairs this week. The roadbook will soon be! in the hands of the members. The Call Bicycle Club #ill join the leagua in a body, the members rulizlnf the many benefits to be derived therefrom. F. KI. Kerrigan and B. G. Bcovern will be elected chief consul and secretary-treasurer respectively without material opposition, as they are unquestionably the best men for the re- spective positions. There is some talk of an opposition ticket headed by J. B. Lam- kin, late president of the Garden City Cyclers, for chief consul, and Joseph A. Desimone of the same club for secretary- treasurer. These gentlemen .would K. foolish to allow themselves to be sacrificed in this manaer, however, for it is generally admitted that Mr. Kerrigan and Mr. Bcoyern have enough votes and influence behind them to elect them by a handsome majority. ‘Ihere are 844 members of the league in this division, and most of them reside in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. The Acmes, Bay Citys and Olym- Y{i:a can be depended upon to support the rrigan-Scovern ticket to & man, and the unattached would be with them on ac- count of Judge Kerrigan’s =popularity. Tell me, then, where would the Lamkin- Desimone ticket get any votes from, ex- cept their own club? They are both nice fendemen. but have been nominated at he wrong time.

The following letter has been received from San Jose: The membership of the Elite Cycling Cltb of San Jose is rapidly increasing. It Dow has about thirty-five members, with from three to seven joining almost every meeting. The foi- lowing are its officers: President, A. L. Brower; vice-president, Miss Frankie Rider; secretary. Lulu Allyn; corresponding secrotary, Miss Car- tie Brower; treasurer, Arthur E.Barr; cap- tain, Dr. A. G. Bennett; first lieutenant, Arthur Naramore. The colors are pale-blue and old Tose.

People who call bicycling a passing fad have probaoly never stopped to consider what an enormous amount of capital is | employed in the business of making wheels in this country, says a writer in the New York Sun, and probably have no idea of the number of people dependent upon the business, The figures are aston- ishing. There are in this country to-day about 130 good-sized bicycle manufac- tories. If all the smaller concerns were counted in, concerns that turn out from 50 to 200 bicycles a year, the number would be swelled to about 300. The num- ber of bicycles these 300 factories will pro- duce this year will not be less than 500,000, At an average cost of $75 each to the buyer this means that $37,500,000 will be spent in this country 8 year for bi cycles, providing, of course,” the entire product is sold. But there is little doubt of that. Go to a bicycle-store and try to buy a high-grade wheel. They will take your order and tell you they will deliver the wheel in a couple of weeks. More good wheels have been sold this season | than have been made, and it is doubtful if some of the manufacturers catch up before the snow flies. But the $37,500,000 do not cover the en- tire expenditures in thc blcycle way of the people of the country. There are cos- tumes—bloomers and ‘such—lamps, cy- clometers, patent mud-guards and patent this-that-and-the-other kind of apparatus that will swell the sum to $50,000,000. Where does all this vast sum of money go? Well, in the first place, some of the manufacturers who a few years ago were 00r men are now immensely wealthy. ut there can be nothing unusnal or par- ticularly undesirable in that; they built up the business from nothing and have far- nished the public with one of the greatest sources of enjoyment ever known. Some f the rest of the money, after the mann- acturers have had their bit, goes for ma- terial and the balance to the army of workingmen, womeh, boys and girls whose labor turnsthe raw steel, rabber, wood and leather into the finished product. How many arein thatarmy? The num- ber can only be estimated. In a Chicago factory that turns out 30,000 bicyclesa year 800 persons, mostly full-grown men, are be an average of 87.5 bicyeles to each employe. If there are 500,000 machines to be made and each employe makes thirty-seven and a half machines there would bave to be, there- fore, 13,3331¢ employes. But as there can- not very well be a third of an employe it may be well to drop the fraction, call” the number 13,333 and let one of them work a little overtime. That estimate, however, includes only the reople employed in the actual or ex- clusively b\cicle-hct,orieu. It takes no account of the workmen employed in machine-shops in. making bicycle parts, which are sent to the bicycle tactories and handled by the employes there only as the bicycles are put together. The Chicago factory mentioned above does not manu- facture more than one-half the parts of its own machine. That fact, of course, makes it necessary to double the 13,333 to find the number of &Eb le in the bicycle army, which gives 26,666, and still not including the country agents and their salesmen and helpers, who surely swell the total to 20,000. Next dyenr enough more money will be invested, factories started, people employed and wheels made to increase by balf all the estimates above given. The number of bicycles to be turned out next season is estimated at 800,000. What will they be like? What will they cost?, Will they be as heavy as the ones now in use, and will they be as strong or stronger? First as to weight and strength. There is a probability that there will be a light n- crease in both, and it is needed. Bicycles now are too light, and certainly they are not strong enon At least that is the evidence of many bicycle riders, and one does not have ‘to be very observing to know that men carrying broken wheels through the streets are more numerous now than they were before the days of light wood tires, Broken frames on race- tracks are commoner now also than in the days when wheels were heavier, and bicycleaccidents of all sorts occur with much greater frequency. All of which leads a good part of the bicycle public to demand heavier wheels, for everybody knows that during this year, at least, the manufacturers have sacrificed considerable atren&th to lightness. Heavier wheels would be stronger wheels. Three or four pounds of material judiciously distributed over a twenty-pound wheel would add a power of strength to it, and the increased wfilght would scarcely be noticed by the rider. The cost? Manufacturers say that will be $100 for the high-grade wheels, the same as now, and $50 or o for the cheap grades. S THE GUN. Inanimate Target Assoclation Tour- nament—Ducks and Quail. Sporting dogs of high and low degree are now being put through their preliminary work preparatory to the inaugural day of the open season, which will be Tuesday, the 15th inst. Of course, the old story is again being told of the numbers of birds that have been seen everywhere and the great sea- son's sport that is promised lovers of the chase. This may be true to a certain ex- tent, but somehow these large bevies of quail invariably disappear when the shoot- ing season opens, and nobody can vouch- safe—not even a Fish Commissioner— an opinion as to where they had taken wings or if poachers got in on them afew days ahead of the lawful time for grassing feathers. There can be no gainsaying, however, of an increase in the wild-duck family this season, but it can be safely said that very few birds will remain on preseryed terri- tory when the heavy rains putin an ap- pearance. - There is too much open ground under cultivation in the southern portion of the State now which offers excellent inducements to the quackersto spend a few months in rest and peace. The Suisun marshes will be the objective Yoint of many duck-shooters this winter. Birds are plentiful, and game-keepers are said to be more numerous than ever. The first week of the shooting season is ex- pected to introduce many surprises to men and birds. The many sportsmen of Solano County are anxiously awaiting the result of the trial of the men who were re- stricted from shooting on the Cordelia Club grounds last season. The case will come up before Judge Buckles in the Su- perior Court of Fairfield on Monday next. To-morrow the clubs represented in what is known as the Inanimate Target Association of California will assemble at the Oakland racetrack, and the cracking of guns and the smashing of clays will be the order of the day. Sportsmen from San Jose, Santa Cruz, Stockton, Sacramento, Visalia and many other towns in the State will be on the ground, and it goes without saying that the team which will retire on Monday evening—the final day of the lournamcntawifix the palm of victory will be thoroughly entitled to all the praise that sportsmen can bestow upon a success- ful competitor. The sum of $30 will be awarded to the sportsmen making the four highest aver- ages for all events, exclusive of team and handicap events. First average, $20; sec- ond, $15; third, $10; fourth, $5. Special prizes will also be given to the shooters who are in the ties in the association’s medal event and who fail to win a prize. The_association will give a grand dinner on Monday evening as a fitting termina- tion of the inaugural shoot of the com- bined clubs represented. The headquarters of 'the sportsmen while sojourning in this City will be the Occidental Hotel. This afternoon several visiting sporting and local target-emashers will hold a practice shoot at the Oakland track. As trap-shooting is becoming a very popular pastime among sportsmen, the desire of some of the crack shots to scoop up everything in the way of purses will tend to kill the sport, as the men who pay the piper must tire of putting their handy in their pockets and seeing their silver and gold pass away into the trousers of the champion bird-smashers. As a means of giving fair play to all contestants, the Pumphrey system is, without any doubt, the fairest and squarest way of dividing the money in a circuit of mixed shooters that has ever been devised, and isalso sim- ple to figure. The only trouble with it is | that no one can make a great amount of money. This does not suit the expert who wants to win a big pot whenever he gets into first place alone. The Pum- phrey system pays for the targets broken, and fourth or fifth place will never pay case in the system now in use. The Pumphrey system is as follows: Take, for example, a” twenty-target event, with entrance at $3, targets deducted at the raie of 2 cents each. thirty-five entries, which leaves $91 in the purse to be divided, Three men break 20 straight, five break 19 out of the 20, four | break 18 each and seven break 17, making a total of 246 targets broken by those in place, and as there 1s $31 in tlhie purse it makes each target broken worth 37 cents. Those who broke 20 straight receive $740 each, those in second place 37 cents less, or which is more than double the amount invested. To figure what the amount would have been under the old system: With $91 to be divided the three men in first place would have aivided first money, or 40 per cent, which would have been $3640, or $12 13 each; second would have paid $27 30, $5 46 each; third would pay the four men in the tie fl 55 each, and seven men in for fourth would draw out $130 each. This pleases the men in for first place, and they are the only ones that are better winners than they would have been under the old plan. While last place paid $629 under ~umphrey’s plan it paid but $130 under the other. It is easy to draw conclusions from these figures and decide which you prefer. The expert will take his chances on a big win- ning every time. Even if he shoots for two days and does not win a pot alone, he will hang on to the third day in hopes that he will “catch a bundle’’ by himself. In order to show just how this would have worked in a recent shoot where all the cracks were present, we will take an event as actuall; shot. There was $75 in the purse, whicg wasa guaranteed one, and the five divi- sions of money paid che men in the g!aceu as_follows: . First, $2 50; second, 32 60: third, $3; fourth, $2 25; fifth, $7 50. There were twenty-eight entries at $2 75 each and fifteen targats. Under the old plan fourth and fifth place paid more than entrance back, but fifth was evidently taken by one man alone, and every contestant was in for money. This same purse under the Pumphrey ‘‘equitable’ plan would have paid as fol- lows (as there were 380 targets broken and $75 in the purse, it make each target worth 20 cents, or s0 near it that we will use that figure). [he nine men for first would receive §3 each, the seven men in second place $280 each, the five men in thira place $260 each, the six men in for fourth $2 40 each and the one man in fifth place alone $220. In this event the Pum- ghrey system would haye paid the men in rst, second and fourth places better than under the old plan, but the one who taok fifth money alone would have been the kicker, as he would have received over $5 less money. o e HANDBALL.

It would be rather a hazardous thing to even conjecture who the win- ners will be, as there are at least half a dozen dplsyers who are very evenly matched. “John Jones, the gmfeuiunal champion, is giving some of the players a little instruction in_tossing and ways of taking balls that dally on the side walls. The prizes are handsome, and no doubt keenly contested rules will be witnessed in the final rounds. The following games will take place to-day in Phil Ryan's San Francisco handball court: W. Darius and J. Brown to hfi G. Ward and P. Barry; P: Ryan and g odgers to play M. McNeil and G. McDonala; J. Sweeney and C. Sullivan to play J. Mc- Evelley and W. Hughes; W. Williams and P. Kel liy to play J. Lawless and D. Con- nolly. The final game will be a return match between J. Jones, the Australian champion, against G. Hutchinson and M. Dillon, for $50 a side, the game to be the best three out of five, 21 aces. The games at the Union court will be: Terry McManus and ‘“‘Professor’’ Lynch will play C. Johnson and O. Hendy; R. J. Reilly and Thomas Ciyne will play King McManus and Panl Kelly; John Riordon will play William Kelly and P. Morris; Al Pennoyer and R. Lenihan will play J. J. Feeney and J. Nelson. 2 i g A STANFORD HALFBACK. J. Frankenhelmer, the Rellable Ground-Galning Line-Bucker. Jules B.

Both men | were graduated from the engineering de- partment, and both are now pursuing their chosen profession. Harrelson is assistant to the Park Sur- veyor in this City, and intends to play with or coach the Oiympic football team this season; he is already on the Olympic nine. Downing is doing engineering work in Washington, and is captain of the Tacoma Athletic Club football team. It isa new thing for any section of the East to think of lionkiug to the West for inatruction in football, and this eagerness on the part of the Indiana State Univer- sity W“E its 700 students is a compliment to the character of football piayed in Cali- fornia and to the ability of the players of the Far West. Three years ago it was considered re- markable when Walter Camp and McClung came way across the continent to give Stanford and Berkeley their first instruc- tions in the Kastern game, and now the numerous and immediate possibitities of | the East are ignored for the apt players of the Far West. R STl THE OARSMEN. News That Will Interest the Scul- lers—The Austin Regatta. A large delegation of sportsmen and friends of Henry Peterson were on hand last Tuesday to bid the Pacific Coast champion bon voyage when he took his departure for the Austin (Tex.) regatta in quest of world’s championship honors. ‘The regatta referred to, which is under the auspices of the American Carnival Re- gatta Association, will be held on Novem- ber 4, 5, 6 and 7. The course over which the races will be rowed is three miles in length with a turn, and the prizes offered are: First, single scull, $1000; first, double scull, $1000; first, four-oared, $1500; quarter mile dash, $100; half mile dash, $100; consolation race, $125 first and $100 second, with a possi- bility of a fourth prize in the dash races. There may be sixty-three entries in the races. A four-oared crew from England with W. Barry, William Haines, 8. Emmet and George Bnbear (stroke), will come over to take part in the regatta, and in all proba- bility Harding and Sullivan, England’s c:gnmpion single scullers, will accompuny em. The Alameda Boating and Swimming Club will hold a regatta Moanday on Oak- land Creek. The races, which are for the championship of the club and silver medals, will be called at 1:30 p. », Those who wil compete are: William Henchman against A. H. Bullion for the junior champion- ship and A. 8. Pembroke against Cecil Dennis for the senior championship. It is the intention of this club to hold a regaita on Thanksgiving day open to all the boat clubs. At the last meeting a committee was appointed to take charge of the regatta. Wiliiam Humphrey, president of the Pacific Amateur Association, is in receipt of a letter from John E. Budd, who refereed the regatta at Sacramento on Admission day, which virtually gave the disputed senior race between the Pioneer and South End crews to the South Ends. In his letter he states that owing to approaching darkness and some of the Bouth End crew beiug missing when orders came to re-row the races, his decision was to re-row the race in San Francisco at a time set by the executice committee of the P. A. A. Sunday, September 22, was the time set for the race. The South Ena crew com- plied with the decision and went over the course alone on the Pioneers refusal to line up with them. . A meeting of the P. A, A. will be held next Friday evening, when it is thought | the prize will be awarded the South End crew. E. F. Bomps is the latest addition to the ranks of the South End Ciub. He has pur- chased John T. Sullivan’s fast wherry and will row in the coming regatta. _ The South Fnds are employing anew scheme to develop material in’their club. All new members are being coached pre- paratory to the *‘trying-out’’ races which will be held this winter between crews se- lected from new members. The material selected from these crews will form the nu- cleus of next season’s racing crews. 2 The officers elected at the last meeting of the club were: President, A. J. Fritz; vice-president, John L. Herget; recording secretary, Ed J. Banning; financial secre- tary, Ed P. Shorthall; treasurer, A. J. Melletz; sergeant-at-arms, James F.

PRE R E GAELIC FOOTBALL. The First Game of the Season Will Be Played To-Day. The game of Gaelic football which was to have taken place last Sunday on Golden Gate Park recreation grounds was post- poned because one of the teams failed to put in an appearance.

There can be no doubt that Corbett under- stood the situation, as his method of train- ing ana ‘don’t care sort of way whether I fight or not’” was strong evidence that the champion did nov look for the fight to take place in Texas. There was certainly a screw loose somewhere and it is decidedly problematical ‘now where the fight will | take place, that is if it should take place | at all. A rather ludierous article appeared a few days ago in one of the evening papers, the request having been for graduates of | which stated that the managers of the | Coima Club were hoping to get the big fight.

I continued the use for over three months with the same happy | result, and, although I was fearful lest the | malady would come back on me, I can now say that, although I have not taken the compound for months, Ido sleep every | night peacefully and without interrup- tion, *“You can easily imagine what this means for a man who works fourteen hours every day in the year and has charge of two large newspapers.
