10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1896. THE FIELD OF SPORT. What the Oarsmen, Athletes and The wheelmen have a very extensive programme of road races for to-morrow, ana if the weather remains fine the cyclists will take the country by storm. { The Los Angeies pigeon-snogting tour- | nament commenced yesterday. Several trap-shooting events are slated for to-| morrow at Oakland and Alameda. The Olympic Club’s boxing tournament; the National Athletic Club’s special matches, and the Colma Club’s 20-round contest, all of which will be held next month, prove conclusively that boxing is | far from being under the sod in this City. | The angling season will be opened on | the 1st of April, and great preparations are being made by the devotees of the pastime for an outing in the country. Beveral interesting matches will be de- cided at Shell Mound Park to-morrow by the lovers of rifie-shoating. Two crews from the South End Rowing Club will row a match race over the Long Bridge course to-morrow. ST THE WHEELMEN. The Clubs WIll Try Out Their Men for the Relay Race To-Morrow.

The man ona wheel does not want to participate in acci- dents any more than nrake agitators want Captain Fawcett of the Olympic Club Wheelmen says that if it does not rain to- day the postponed run of the club from last Sunday will be held to-morrow to Rea- wood City, taking.the 10:52 train at Valen- cia street for Milbrae, wheeling frcm there to Redwood at an easy pace. On the way down there will be a five-mile try-out over the San Mateo course, and after a lunch a two-mile handicap race (for which six prizes are offered) and an impromptu base- 21l game. The Intercollegiate Athletic Association appreciates the advantages of wheel con- tests, and wiil hold a separate tonrnament this year. Racing men will be developed from the colleges, and some good ones may be expected, riders who otherwise would not become competitors for track honors. If the weather is pleasant to-morrow and it does not rain to amount to anything to-day there will be three ten-mile road races held over at San Leandro to-morrow. The riders of the Bay City Wheelmen will compete in a ten-mile handicap event from Fruitvale to Haywards and Captain Plum- mer bas called a club run to go over on the 9 o'clock boat. All of the best men of the club will ride. The California Cycling Club men will ride ten miles around the San Leandro triangle, going over on the 8 o'clock boat, and the result of this race will determine the club's team in the coming relay. The Imperial Cycling Club ruitvale to Hay- wards in a ten-mile handicap event and men who aspire to positions on this club’s relay team must ride in this try-out. They will'also go over on the 9 o'clock broad- gauge boat. Application blank and pamphlet show- ing the benefits to be derived from mem- bership in the League of American Wheel- men can be bad by addressing a postal to the cycling editor of THE CALL. The league now has 1233 members in this State, an increase of twenty-five during the past week. Chief Consu) Kerrigan is getting out a new handbook for league members, of the board. The undersigned, as a member of the board in dealing with such cases, will hold that racing men connected with the trade in any capacity enjoy advantages that other men as amateurs cannot command. R. M. WELCH, Member National Racing Board. The ranks of the women riders will be greatly augmented this year by myriads of new recruits. Physicians freely recom- mend the wheel for them, and thousanas of fair devotees will seek health and recre- ation astride their bikes this season. Toward the latter part of last y#‘a’r the in- crease in the number of women riders who frequented the park and the near-by coun- try roads was very noticeable, and 1t is ex- pected that this spring and summer will see them riding everywhere that the men do, and with as much comfortand pleasure. The Haywards electric road will runa special bicycle train on and aftér to-mor- row on Sundays only for the special ac- commodation of bicycle-riders and their wheels, leaving Haywards at 4:01 p. 3. No charge will be made for carrving wheels. This train is put on for the benefit of those who may wish to make the trip to Hay- wards, but who do not care to undertake the homeward ride against prevailing hesa winds; also for those whose wheels may have suffered some mishap, and for ladies who feel that the complete run of twenty-five miles or so would overtax their strength, but who have confidence in their ability to make the trip one way. The leaving times of this special bicycle train from the various voints on the line will be as follows: Haywards clubhouse, 4:01; Haywards, B street, 4:04; Castro Valley junction, 4:11; San Lorenzo junc- tion, 4:18; San Leandro, 4:26; Elmhurst, 4:34; Fitchburg, 4:41; Seminary avenue, 4:44] This train is a great accommodation to the wheeling public and will doubtless be used considerably. 3 It is best to use the ankle in Aredalmg, particularly when climbing hills. The ankle motion is hard to adopt, but when once the knack is learned it will greatly relieve the wheelman ascending elevations. Upturned handlebars also facilitate the art. Itisalsoagood way to develop the calf of the leg. 1f the weather is fair the members of the San Francisco Road Club will ride to San Mateo to-morrow. On the way down the | club will held a try-out over the course of | the second relay. ~ Captain Pixley expects a large turnout, but it all depends upon the | weather. The regular monthly meeting of the North California Division, League of Amer- ican Wheelmen will be held this evening at the rooms of the Garden City Cyclers, San Jose, at 8 o'clock. Important busi- ness is to be transacted and the attend- ance of all delegates is earnestly requested by the chief consul. . The Garden City Cyclers’ five-mile hand- icap road race scheduled for to-morrow from Morgan Hill to San Martine has been ;ostpnued until after the relay. Ofto Ziegler Jr. will then ride from scratch, aced by tandems, and will endeavor to ower the world’s five-mile record, now held by George Hamlin of the San Fran- cisco Road Club. SPALDING.

A CRACKAJACK OF THE RELIANCE CLUB. cling Clubs will be held at the Olympic Club Monday evening, March 23, to de- cide upon the question of postponing the relay race one week on account of its date, April 5, falling on Easter Sunday. Other matters pertaining to the race will also be brought up for discussion. This meeting is an important one and all delegates should attend. Some bright mind, with a penchant for looking up advance dates, and a familiar- ity with the dates of particular religious services heretofore unknown in wheelmen, discovered about a week ago that the first Sunday in April. on which day the relay race is annualily run, would be Eastér Sun- day. The large body of wheelmen are in favor of advancing the date one week this year, for while they have no scruples against riding the race on that particular Sunday, it is admitted that in the eyes of the general public the race will attract more interest and be more favorably thought of if not contested on that day It has been suggested some people attend | religious services on Easter Sunday who | may perhaps not go any other day of the | year, and the relay would serve to attract | them from their annual devotions. It is believed that the date can be changed, thoueh it will take the unani- mous vote of eyery delegate to the asso- | ciation to so decide, that being the tenor of the by-laws. the associated clubs, are law-abiding, God- fearing citizens, and they can be depended upon to do that which is right by them- selves and the public, as they arc in the | sport to raise, not to lower it. Professionalism_is gaining in_favor. This information is gleaned from Eastern press reports. But one thing is noticed, the National racing board has thus far received but few applications for sanctions for race meets this season. Last year at this time the board was flooded with appli- cations. Most of the cycle meet pro- moters are gauging the question before | Shall it concluding to offer gold prizes. be all amateur or all }vrofessionnl events, half of each, or wnat? On this coast it will largely depend on how many of the fast riders enter the professional class. - It is a fact that more interest at- tached to the one professional race at the recent indoor tournament than to all the other events that particular evening. Possibly this was because it was the first professional race under the new rules, but more likely because of the known ability of theriders. If mostof the class B men of last vear enter professionalism, the meet. which “promotes the most of that class of races is the one which will draw the larg- est crowds of spectators. Thereisto be held in Toledo, Ohio, the coming summer a meet in which $5000 in prizes will be given away in three days’ racing. most of which is cash, for professional events. If brakes on bicycles would really serve to prevent accidents, bicycle riders would Wheelmen as a rule, and | particularly organized wheelmen, such as | 1 which will be ready for distribution shortly. | Daniel O’Callaghan, one of the charter | members of the Bay City Wheeimen, re- | turned from his trip around the world Thursday night and was warmly greeted by his fellow-members, who met him at the ferry. He has had a variety of ex- periences, and a very jolly time alto- | gether, and proposes to come around to | the clubhouse some night next week and tell the boys all about his trip. William Yeoman of the Reliance Club | Wheelmen of Oakland was one of the ‘ fastest riders at the recent indoor meet, | and yet won the fewest prizes. He was always put on the scratch mark in the | handicap events, and would climb up to | about second position. So_ it was in the | semi-finals and finals. 1In the scratch | races Edwards, Wells and other men of his class could outsprint him at the tape, and, | therefore, while showing a8 much speed | and endurance as any of them in a race, he was invariably beaten at the finish by a few inches because he could not sprint. Yeoman broke the world’s indoor compet - tion mile record at the Pavilion track on March 6, covering the distance in 2:14 1-5. This time was afterward bettered by Wells, the Bay City flyer. Yeoman rode against time, flying start, unpaced, on | March 12, covering a half mile 1n 1:02 4-5 and a mile in 2:16, both world’s indoor records for the distance and conditions. { R.M. Welch, member of the National racing board, has issued another bulletin, which as usual is interesting. It will be noticed that W. W. Needham of the Olym- pic Club Wheelmen has been transferred to the professional class. by Mr. Welch under clause B. This 3s because Needham assisted in the training and riding of the ladies who contested in the women’s three days’ meet at the Pavilion last week which proved such a fiasco. However, Needham is a pretty speedy rider and will doubtless show up well among the *‘pros.”’ He is not so unfortunate as was Oscar | Osen last year, for now he will have lots | of company among the riders of the coast, and good company at that. Mr. Welch’s bulletin is as follows: BULLETIN No, 4. March 20, 1896. Sanctions granted—April 30, May 1 and 2, Santa Rosa Cyeling Park Associatlon, Santa Rosa;i May 1, Fabiola Fete, Oskland; July 4, North California Division Meet, Petalima.

Clause G of the amateur rule as rearranged | and amended reads: ‘‘Racing men in the em- ploy of ‘crcle establishments may be trans- | _crr;d mfllgw professional class by vote of rac- oard.” | in %Ile mere fact of a rider being in such em- ployment does not of itself constitute him a professional, but as soon as he becomes a figure on the racing path he invites the investigation | | “Yes, you mark my words,” said the sage, ‘‘that Joe will fool around Tom until he locates the uninclosed spots that are open for inspectioti on his handsome face, and then, as quick_as greased lightning strikes an oldtime Democratic ward poli- tician, Joseph will send out that big sledge- hammer fist of his and poor old Tom will fall down, down, down on the cold, cold floor, where he wiil lie like a good Indian until the seconds are called and the purse is won. I say that Sharkey will be de- feated in quick order, but I would change my opinion very quickly if I thought Sharkey was clever enough to uardghis jaw from the heavy shot which Joseph carries in his gloves.” It is strange how geop!e will sometimes be carried away with impressions formed in years that are past. They seemingly forget that a fighter, like a horse, wiil | grow stale from too much work, and after | a certain number of years on the turf he is bound to retrograde. Choynski is a pretty old star now. He has been seven or eight years in the ring, so to speak, and ten years is about the | limit of a pugilist’s successful career. Joseph 1s a good man yet. and will remain a hard puncher after Corbett’s brilliant star of fortune has set forever. It must be remembered that Choynski takes excellent care of himself, and” does not indulge in wild escapades. He is | physically almost as good a man to-day as | he was eignt years ago. but then he is| growing old, and will not go as gooda | race now as when he met the now famous Jimmy Corbett in that memorable prize- fight on a barge in Carquinez Straits’ Choynski_has had several hard battles since that time, and it cannot be said that those contests have helped him in any way excepting what he may have gained in knowledge and experience, which is very material. Sharkey is a young and powerful fellow and as game as a Japanese fighting bird. He is aware that he has yet much to learn about the game of fisticuffs, but being a close student and a lover of hard exercise he hopes to overcome whatever awkward- ness he may possess, and eventually prove to the sporting public that he is entitled toa glace in the first rank of heavy-weight pugilists. Choynski will not have as easy a game as many people imagine, and it is ex- tremely doubtful if e can land his big right fist on _the spot he exvects to reach during the eight rounds of his engagement with Sharkey. Certainly, if he has not made wonderful strides in improvement since he fought Billy Woods in this City, Sharkey will stand some kind of a chance of turning the tables on his opponent. Choynski, in hot company, will riot prove a dangerous man after five rounds of sharp fighlin% His underpinning is very light, and in build he is not to be con: pared with Sharkey in athletic proportions. . Choynski is said to be in good condition now and will require only a few weeks’ training to fit him for a battle royal. The London National Sporting Club, which is composed of many millionaires and prominent men in business circles, is now figuring on a match between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Considering that the gentlemen of this famous athletic association are as intelli- gent and as humanely inclined as the good people of Texas' who opposed the Fitzsim- mons and Maher contest, it must be sur- prising to those who do not believe in box- ing that the London ciub would. ever tol- erate a_boxing match for the supposed championship of the world between such prominent individuals. But neither the members of the club nor the venerable diplomats and aged statesmen of the House of Commons or Parliament can see any harm in two thoroughly trained and well conditioned men meeting in the roped aren decide questions of physical su- periority, and it is very safe to say that they would not neglect National ltgin of importance either to meddle in the local affairs of others. So much cannot be said of our silver-tongued orators and states- men who permitted the sacred affairs of a Nation 10 tremble while they came down from their “lofty perches” to eract special laws which brand the patrons of the *‘manly art’’ as felons.

The angling days are close at hand and | should a rainstorm hold off until the 1st prox. a very successful opening of the trout season will certainly result. Judging from letters that have been re- | ceived at this office from various parts of | the country where trout streams are numerous, the prospects for well-filled | baskets could not be better. A gentleman | who writes from Pieta says that the stream which empties into Russian River near Pieta station is literally alive with trout of good size, and that owing to along spell of | warm weather the fish are rising to flies, and that pood stream-whipping may be expected provided a change in the weather will not take place before April 1. Similar reports have arrived from many | of the interior towns within close distance | of trout streams. | According . to the present appearance of the weather, rain is not far distant, and it | is not by anvy means improbable that the streams which have been in the mind's eye of anglers for some weeks will be high and muddy when the day for rods, reels and rubber-boots will arrive. John Butler received a dispatch from Al Hall of Point | Reyes last Wednesday that the Paper Mill was clearing rapidly and that a fresh run | of small fish had arriyed. This welcome | intelligence will certainly cause a rush of small-fish anglers to the place in question | to-morrow. The picture which accompanies this de- partment of sport is from a photograph taken recently by Dr. von Hoffman on the strand of Russian River, near Duncans Mills. The anglers who, with par- donable pride, hold ten-ponnd steel- beads while the artist is taking a snap shot _are Al Wilson, Oito Muser, J. Cross ton. Wilson has probably killed more large fish with a rod than any angler of this coast. Two years ago he landed a sturgeon from the Russian that weighed 223 pounds. It took him exactly one hour and fifty-three minutes to conquer the prize. Mr. Muser is also a well-known angier who believes in fishing as being the most enjoyable and hea]tfiml of all outdoor sports. Among some of the many anglers of this City who owe their success in fly casting end playing of large fishes to the instructions they received from Mr. Muser in days that are past are John Butler, alias “Panther Jobn,” John Lemmer, Henry Peckham, John Bergez, Charley Green, Frank Marcus, etc. r. Muser has to his credit the largest catch of steelheads that has ever been made in Salmon Creek. Messrs. Turnerand Crass are prominently connected with the sport of angling on this coast. Messrs. Curley, Green and Thompson visited Duncans Mills last Sunday and on their return some practical joker tele- phoned to Curley's partner, Ferguson, irom San Rafael, to have a wagon at the wharf on the arrival of the Sausalito boat, as the anglers had more fish than they could possibly bandle. The wagon was waiting the arrival in the City of the disciples of bait fishing, and the most surprised man on earth was Cur- ley when the driver asked him where his load was: ““What load do you mean, sir?”’ grufly demanded Curley; “‘don’t I look all right ?”” ‘Oh, you misunderstood me, sir,” re- plied the wvoor, old driver, who was | momentarily expecting a cuff on the ear, ‘it is your big load of fish 1 am after; Mr. Ferguson has sent messenger-boys all over town to inform your friends to be at the | repdezvous at 8 o'clock, as Curley was coming to town loaded with fish for every- body.” \ Curley did have one nice fish in his pos- session, the first he had ever caught. He borrowed a bicycle from a saloon-keeper on the front and rode up through the principal streets with the ten-pouna steel- head dangling from the handles of his bike. The poor old driver was cheated out of a good thing, all because Mr. Curley did not have as many fisi: as Mr. Ferguson had supposed. The latter had to stand the price of an empty wagon-drive, and Curley now says that he who laughs last laughs best.. Fer- guson will be the next to try his luck in steelheading, so Professor Nat says, and his word cannot be disputed.
