10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 189¢ THE FIELD OF SPORT. What the Oarsmen, Athletes and Cyclists Are Doing. The weather of the past week has mate- rially improved the roads for cycling, and to-morrow numerous wheelmen, who will don the colors of different clubs, will be seen taking an outing in the country. As| the wild flowers are now in full bloom, a | ride through the interior is delightful. | The anglers are in hopes of having some | good trout fishing now that the storm is over. All that is necessary to guarantee first-class sport is warm weather. The trap-shooters will be well repre- sented at the Oakland track to-morrow. Several club shoots are announced. There will be two coursing meetings to- morrow, one at Newark and one at Ocean View. The long-expected handball game for the coast championship will be decided to- morrow at the San Francisco ball court. The athletes are taking a little exercise preparatory to the spring zames. s THE WHEELMEN. A Racing Board Bulletin That Is Full of Interest to Racers. CLUB EVENTS TO-MORROW. California Cycling Club—To Tocoloma. Camera Club Cyclists—To San Jose. Imperial Cycling Club—To Santa Rosa. Liberty Oycling Club—Road race, to San Carlos. Reliance Club Wheelmen—Te Peint Bonita. San Francisco Road Club—To Lake Pilarcitos. While the relay race and the trouble that has since arisen over it have absorbed most of the time and attention of the that they can dispense with this mode of advertising. Nevertheless, the fact is plain that the racing man is a good advertising card and the returns for the expenditure are ade- | quate to the cost of maintaining the indi- vidual. In every city where a racing team competes—and the riders cover nearly the entire country during the year—the benefit in advertising to the firm controlling the team is very great. A rider is associated with the wheel he rides to victory. His name is in the minds of all wheelmen, and in recalling the name of the rider and commenting upon his victories the name of the wheel he rides is naturally brought to mind. It is not to be disputed that some riders are paid greatly in excess of their real value, but this, like many an- other matter, will reach its level shortly, and then should the manufacturers con- tinue to support racing teams the riders’ services will be obtainable ata more rea- sonable figure. The mere fact of being mounted upon a bicycle does not insure perfect enjoyment. There are many litt'e things to be taken into consideration, such as the matter of adjustment, the knowledge of pedaling and proper dress. But more important, perhaps, than any other one thing is the matter of proper breathing, which often counts as much as muscular strength. Tue easier a person breathes the easier he may ride, but by ease of breathing should be understood long, regular respirations, avoiding any tendency to short, quick breaths. Those troubled with nasal dis- orders are often compelled to breathe through the mouth, and when riding at a good rate rapid exhalation is almost una- voidable. This manner of breathing is always injurious and is more than apt to lead to heart or lung trouble. The mere rapidity of movement is not in itself suffi- cient to bring aoout this “shortness of breath,” as it is familiarly known, but must be accompanied by intense muscular Dr. J. A. Kuykendall, Captain of the Triangle Wheelmen. wheelmen during the past week the cap- tains of the various clubs have been alive to the fact that the touring season is now | open, and the above list of club events for | to-morrow indicates tais fact. The par- | ticulars of all of the above runs were given in THE CALL yesterday. Chairman Stratton of the road-racing | committee of the Associated Clubs has | stated to the writer that no action could be taken regarding the relay-cup dispute until next week. He received the answer of the Bay City Wheelmen to his letter requesting the return of it, in which the | club refuses to deliver the vup without a hearing. A special meeting of the associa- tion will be called for some night next week for this purpose. Meanwhile the club has possession of the cup and it reposes in a safe deposit vault and none of the club members seem to know who has the key. It is quite evident that the Bay Citys | do not care much for the cup itself, though | they will not give it up when they feel it rightly belongs to them. Having won the race on its merits a prominent member | tells me they are satisfied, and if the Garden City Cyclers want the cup so badly as to take it under the existing conditions Captain Plummer will call an immense club run of all the Bay Citys and they will carry the cup down and present 1t to them with much assumed pomp and ceremony. The agitation over the relay race is hay- ing the effect of causing considerable bit- terness between the four big clubs—the Acmes, Bay Citys, Garden Citys and Olympics—and the association will be the loser by it. It seems that the winning team of the Bay City Wheelmen will_not be permitted to reston its laurels. Harry Terrill has organized another team in the same club which he declares can beat the winners. The riders and their positions would be: | F. L. Day, F.G. Lacey, John Davidson, H. | B. Freeman, Robert L. Long, T. 8. Hall. Archie Reid, H. E. Mendell, Harry F. Ter- rill and Tom Cooper. Some of these men are faster than two or three of those on the winning team—take Lacey, Long, Hall, Reid, Terrilland Cooper for instance—and as a team they feel sure of winning. The chxllenge is being considered and may be accepted, in which even Ulbricht and Mec- | Crea would come up from the south again, as it is specified that the team must be ex- actly as it was last Sunday. The Olympic Cyciers will have a road race over the San Carlos course Sunday, April 26, and’a large number of the mem- bers are actively training for the event. It has been quite & struggle for some of them to give up the pleasures of life for two or three weeks and o into the severe training necessitated in the preparation for a bicvcle race, but many are doing it for the spirit of tue thing, and the race promises to be a great club event. The San Francisco Y. M. C. A. Cyeling Club has reorganized under th- name of the Triangle Wheelmen, and the following officers have been elected: C. F. Steuart, president; Joseph Sims, vice-president; R. 8. Boyns, secretary-treasurer; Dr. J. A, Kuykendall, captain; B. W. Waterman, first lieutenant; Dr. H. L. Dietz Jr., sec- ond lieutenant. Captain Kuykendall is well amoug the wheeimen of this Cif¥ as a very clever rider, and he should fit #he office to which he has been elected admirably. There seems 10 be dissension somewhere amons the makers of bicycles, for the idea is quite prevalent in many places where the manufacture of cycles'isa big indus- try that it should be the sentiment of the makers not to employ racing teams. Some of the well-known ‘concerns have taken pains to so declare themselves, and there is a likelihood of & combination being formed to work ultimately to this end. In case such an agreement is reached, and thegeneral opinion of the Cycle Board of Tradepoints to a withdrawal from - the scheme of controlling racing teams, it will effectually result in the abandonment of the National circuit. There can be no cir- cuit of this character under the existing league rules without the support of the manufacturers, many of whom now believe | | | known effort in order to produce it, and may therefore be attributed to general mus- cular satigue. When a rider begins to feel a weakness of this kind he should at once reduce his pace, or dismount and rest, making at the same time a practice of breathing through the nose with slow ex- halations through the mouth. Precautions of this kind add very much to the pleasure and enjoyment of wheel- ing, and greatly muitiply the benefits that are to be derived from the exercise. Every rider should learn something about the wheel he is going to ride, Most buyers choose their mounts without in- specting the workmanship of the wheels or going into many fine features some of | the manufacturers have embodied in their products. All wheels look alike from a distance, but upon close examination a vast difference is easily discernible. America is no longer the only market for American bicycles. The manufac- turers 1n this country are more than will- ing to compete with the foreign makers on their own ground, and for this reason the exports of wheels to Europe have been in- | creasing with great regularity. Naturally the invasion will be regarded in no kindly light on the other side of the Atlantic, particularly in England, but as the sun never sets on the British empire, so the day is soon coming when the sun will never set on the country which does not pay | homage to the skill and scientific fea- tures incorporated in American-made bi- cycles. R. M. Welch of the National Racing Board of the League of American Wheel- men, located in this City, has issued a most interesting bulletin for this week. It is as follows: [Bulletin No. 7] APRIL 17, 1896. ranted—April 23, La Fiesta, Los Sanctions Angeles, Cal May 2, San Franciszo Exam- iner’s field , San Francisco, Cal.; May 16, San Franclsco Cyele Racing Association, San Francisco, Cal.

For competing in an unsanctioned race—Russ, Bonfield and Rudolph, Lowell High School,€an Francisco, are suspended from the track for thirty days from April 11. IMPORTANT TO RACE-MEET PROMOTERS. Race-meet promoters and managers of school and college track teams will please note the following: Every year about this time the various col- leges and schools begin to develop racing men to represent them at the intercollegiate and in- terscholastic outdoor games. It is customary to run off one or more trials to pick out a team. Racing throughout the United States os gov- erned by the L. A. W. and the L. A. W. requires that every track race be sanctioned. A man competing in an unsanctioned event is liable to_suspension, Now your men in particular may not care whether tney are suspended or nof, but they are sure to find somebody at the fina! meet from some other college who does care and will not allow them to ride, if under suspen- sion. The trouble occurs every year, when by alittle caution it can be prevented. Remember that every race on a track, be it one event or more, mus be sanctioned. If you are tohave any trials send for sanction every time. For open races a fee is charged; but no fee is required for closed clubor school events; but in all cases send for sanction and save your men from suspension, which in one or more cases last year affected the standingof the ?_mnol in points won at the chlmi)ionrfilp meeting. George B. Brastow of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank, Salt Lake City, 18 appointed roprcscn tive of the National Racing Board for U Idaho and Montana. R. M. WELCH, Member National Racing Bo The Imperial Cyching Club will hold its annual meeting and election of officers next Monday evening. The election will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 o’clock, and the candidates for the various offices are: For president, R. L. Radke; vice-presiaent, £ 27 (1, L =i ity James Watt of the San' Francisco Rod and Gun Club Enjoying Quiet Moments on Calaveras Creek Alameda County. W. L. Maule and H. L. Todd; secretary, John S.

Tiburon boat and train to destination. They will do their wheelin, | County. As thisis the last run under the old road officers a large turnout is antici- ated. 3 L. D. Cabanne, the St. Louis crack racer, { who was suspended for a year for having | participated in an alleged Flot to throw a race, is now circulating petitions through- out the West asking the racing board to reinstate him. Cabanne never admitted complicity in the scheme, planned by F. J. Titus and overthrown by Charley Mur- phy,and to this day affirms his innocence. From the number of signatures he has got to his petition it would seem that nearly every one believes him innocent. All sorts of *‘authorities’ are constantly coming forward with statements of what it costs to build a bicycle, presumably with the hope of persuading the manufacturers of high-grade machines to come down in their prices. One of the most amusing in this line was that of a man 1n New York State somewhere, who thought he had discovered that it cost just $1650 to build a hizh-grade bicycle, and pointed to the records of the law courts to substantiate his statements. It appears that a naughty boy in the employ of a certain bicycle concern, whose bicycles listed at something under $100, being overcome with covetousness began 10 steal. One day this bad boy walked ont with a hub in his pocket, and the next day another hub and some balls of various sizes, and then some spokes and then a rim. Although the authority did not enter very closely into details, it is pre- no one was looking, this boy walked out with a frame under his coat and a handle- bar up his sleeve. At any rate he kept on | stealing until he had stolen all the parts | of the bicycle, and then was discovered | and arrested. His emplovers entered a charge of grand larceny against him, but were compelled to change it to petit lar- ceny because they could not swear that the aggregate value of the material stolen amounted tomore than $16 50. Thereupon this autbority immediately assumed that it cost $16 50 to build a high-grade bicycle. It is not on record that this wicked boy stole all the parts of a bicycle, for that standard machines, for instance, thereare more than nine hundred geparate parts. But even if he had and the aggregate was no more than $16 50 in value the author- ity plainly forgot to add to the construc- tion the costoi assembling, brazing, tru- ing, inspecting, enameling, nickeling, tinishing, packing, shipoing, advertising, printing, agent’s comunission, wear and tear of machinery, new machinery, insur- ance, losses, guarantee, skilled employes’ wages, office force, royalties on patentsor | the purchase of same, maintenance of plant, interest on investment, taxes, sup- plies, accessories and a thousand and one other things that appear on the balance- sheet of the bicycle manufacturer. At any rate he demonstrated that it is very easy to jump at conclurions. The regular monthly meeting of the board of officers of the North California Division, League of American Wheelmen, will be held next Saturday evening at the rooms of the Reliance Club Wheelmen, to THE CALL representative the other day that the supply of roadbooks is now nearly exhausted, so that there will only be about enough for the next fifty new members or so. After they are all gone the members will have to await the next edition, which will be outin July or August. Meanwhile, however, the tour- infi board is preparing a handbook, which will be out and ready for free distribution to league members only about the middle of May. This book will contain valuable matter relative to touring, and taken either separately or in connection with the road- book, will be of great service to the mem- bers who tour at all. The division is hay- ing maae some elegant gold and enamel lapel-buttons with the initials “L. A. W.,” which are so expensive they cannot be given to members free, but the division will stand about half their cost. Notice will be given in these columns when they are ready. : Any one desiring to receive a copy of Judge Kerrigan’s pamphlet, “Objects and Methods of the League of American Wheelmen,” can receive a copy of the tion for membership, by addressing the cycling editor of THE CALL, SpaLDING. g THE ANGLER. | Fishing In the Calaveras, Paper-Mill and Sonoma Creeks. James Watt, Mr. Pariser and E. W. Cur. rier fished the Calaveras Creek recently and reported that there are meny large trout in that stream and that first-class fishing will be had when the weather set- tles. The picture which accompanies this de- partment represents Mr. Watt casting a spoon in a deep vool, from which he ex- pects to bring to net a large trout. Itcan be seen from the artistic manner he handles the bamboo that heis an artist of the old school. Mr. Watt contends that an experienced fly-caster should, without any ort, be able to stick an ordinary house flea in the back at twenty paces with a No. 14 trout-Ay—that is in fair weather, with conditions possible for deli- cate and accurate casting. Alexander Ireland of the Bank of Cali- fornia is now giving much of his leisure time to fly-dressing. The gentleman ties a beautiful flmd can well feel proud of some work he turned out. Messrs. Bonnerand McFarland of Wells, Fargo & Co. visited Alvarido last Sunday and immediately repaired to the new fish- ing grounds in that vicinity. They found for the day in Sonoma | sumed that probably the day after, when | would have been a large number. as in the | Oakland. The secretary-treasurer stated | same gratis, together with blank applica- 3 | on their arrival at the slough that three large fish had been caught by one of the country boys. The water was not in good condition for fishing, but Bonner had some sport nevertheless. He nooked and lost one big fish which carricd away some of his tackle. McFarland, whose tackie is | always the best, did not have the zood for- | tune of even hooking a fish. They will | try again to-morrow. x Messrs. Muller, Cate, Dolliver, Smith Rondeau, Bransdorff and other noted anglers who fished in the Paper-mill Creek last Sunday enjoyed tolerably good sport. Dolliver caught two large fish and’ Cate lost one big fellow. Mr. Chase of Santa Cruz shipped two dozen splendid young salmon to E. T. Allen & Co. last Thursday. Mr. Chase | writes that the salmon have commenced A 7% Pound Rainbow Caught by H. H. Blackman in Truckee River. to take the anglers’ bait again, and that he expects large catches will be made to-day and to-morrow. The bass, pickerel ana perch which ar- ! rived from 8an Diego on Thursday Jast were shipped over the S8an Francisco and North Pacific Railroad yesterday. They will be q}nnted in Clear Lake, Lake County. They arrived in a very healthy state. Messrs. Kugene O'Rourke and Evett fished the Sonoma Creek near Glen Ellen last Sunday, but returned with more water than fish. "The stream was muddy. Shooting ana Fishing of Chicago pub- lishes the following news concerning the California rainbow trout in Eastern waters: There has been received by State Fish Culturist A. N. Cheney of New York 50,000 exgs of the steelhead trout, Salmo gairdneri, which have been placed in the Caledonia hatchery, from which place they will be distributed. These eggs come from California, and are from the fish commonly known as steelhead, some pre- ferring to call it hardhead. The fish some- times reaches the weight of twenty-five pounds, though the average weight when fully grown is about sixteen. Itisfound in abundance in the Sacramento River, northward to Alaska, close to the coast, and is abundant in the Columbia and Frazer nvers in the springtime during the salmon run. It feeds in fresh waters, un- like the other trout, which fast during the ascent of rivers, conse uentl¥ during its migrations is plump am} well fed. 5 The following letter to the Sporting Edi- tor of THE Cavy from William Blackman of Boca will interest many anglers who whip the Truckee and small creeks in the i vicinity of Boca during the summer. He says: I am sending you a photo of the largest trout caught this season so far, thinking that you may be interested in knowing that the Truckee is still able to hold its own twhere big fish are concerned. This one was taken by George B. Wheeler last week and weighed 734 pounds when it left the water. Length all over 26 inches, and depth 6 inchss. It wasa fine specimen, and made a grand fight. Of course, fly fishing has not commenced here i:ll but I think that inside of & month it will 800d, a5 there is not much snow in the mountains and high water will not last long. | 1 was out yesterduy aiternoon and cast for a | short time, but didn’t geta rise. The stream | | was very muddy, on account of last week’s | snawstorm, and as I did not expect to do any execution I was not disappointed. g Am looking forward to having good sport in Sagehen Creek before very long if the weat! clears up, as itis well stocked with fisn ti. year. | The annual meeting of the Tule River Fishing and Shooting Association was | held recently at Porterville and the fol- lowing ofticers were elected: J. SBinclair, { A. G. Schulz, J, L. Hardeman, W. C. Brumfield, A. M. Lumley, P. C. Montgom- ery and E. Newman. : The directors organized by electing the following officers: President, J. Sinclair; vice-president, A. G. Schulz; secretary, E. Newman; treasurer, P. C. Montzom An assessment of §5 per share was levied | on the stock to defray expenses. The San Francisco Rod and Gnn Club | { will_give its next banquet on Tuesaay | evening, and as one of the leading pisca- | torial authorities of the country will ad- | dress the members on this occasion a | pleasant evening can be relied upon. | It is vet too early for good fly-fishing, | but as the streams have become clear and |are rapialy assuming their summer ap- | | pearance some tolerably good sport with | flics shouid be had to-day when the stn | smiles on the riffles. Trout will not rise | very well to floating insects until Old Sol | puts in an appearance. | The first day’s whioping of a stream | with artificial flies is one of revelation to | the novice, and even to the experienced bait-fisher. Its mysteries are not to be solved in one day or one week. For the novice to make a successful | catch with artificial flies would be as logical as for a donkey to make a success- ful debut as a country school teacher. | | But notwithstandirg all the little disap- | pointments what can be more healtnful and invigorating, more charming and de- lightful, more pleasurable to soul and | body, than to ramble by some sparkling | mountain stream? If nothing else would | dispel the cares of business, still trout fishing at this time of the year might reasonably hope to do so. You have no boat to row, as when fishing .on large bodies of water, no dog or gun to care for, as when on a hunting expedition; in tact no incumbrances to mar the pleasure of the outing. A light bamboo rod, a book of well- ! selected flies of the John Benn kind and a basket swung over the shoulder make up the outfit for a day’s pleasant angling on some favorite stream. The real sport of trout-fishing is in the dash of the trout at our stretched flies and the successiul anding of the mountain beauty in your basket. To cast a fly lightly to some chosen spot; to note instinctively the swell which indicates a rise; to strike at once, but lightly; to keep your rod bent and at an angle with your fish and your line taut, all require a display of judgment, skill and | seli-control. The ecstacy of the moment when a good- sized trout is struck is indescribable. While the experienced angler partly con- ceals his excitement, the novice is set in a flutter, his mind is uncertain, his arm is unsteady. What if the fish should disen- | gage himself from the tiny hook, or break the b air-like leader as he struggles in the water? Only those who bear in their minds the tender recollections of that happy momert when they found their | athnity have any memories to be com- pared with those of such a moment. Then when the fish is landed, with what an air of importance the sportsman regards his catch. How it is magnified in his eyes! ST DOG AND GUN. Trouble Existing Between Shooting Clubs—A Famous Pointer. To-morrow the Recreation Gun Club will meet at the Oakland track and the Lin- colns will burn powder at the artificials at Alameda Point. The Gun Club will hold its monthly shoot this afternoon at the Oakland track. There 1s talk of holding a big live-bird tournament at Burlingame in the near future. Tick Boy, the famous pointer dog, which has been purchased recently by George Crocker, won fifth prize at the United States Field Trial Club’s autumn trials at Bickwell, Ind., in the all-age pointer stake with ten starters. This was in 1894. He won third in the following year at the same club’s trials against a field of seven- teen stariers. Won third at the Continen- tal Club’s field trials in '95. Won third at | the Manitoba Club’s trials against a field of sixteen starters. which included point- ers and setters. Won first in the pointer stakes at the United States Field Trial Club's trials November, 1895. He is a magnificent specimen of the pointer and The Celebrated Pointer Tick Boy, Now Owned by George Crocker. | man’s Protective Ass the price paid for him by Mr. Crocker was $1000. Tick Boy is by Champion King of Kent out of Bloom. Not far from Napa City and near a town called Yountville live two sportsmen, M. Whitten and A. Patton, who are the proud owners of a pack of ‘“vanmnint” dogs. Some years ago a few hogs strayed away from a band of porkers and ran wild through the country east of Napa. All of them, with the exception of one big_ fel- low, who has been shot at dozens of times by hunters, have been brought to bag. This uncaptured brute has kilied between twenty and thirty valuable hounds, and old hunters contend that he is as large as a donkey and can fell a small tree with a few slashes of his sharp and treacherous- looking tusks. Last Sunday Dr. F.J. Lane and R. D. Fry of this City visited Napa purposely to join a few iriends in a hunt for the terror of the hills and canyons, but it rained hard and the hunt was postponed for a few weeks. It is safe to predict that if the dogs encounter the old boar inthe latter’s retreat, which is,at the bottom of a deep and brushy guich, there will e a cleaning out of the pack. Dr. Burdell of Novato has stated that the large estate in Marin County known as the Shafter estate will be segregated into small ranches next fall and that a large creamery will be established near Point Reyes. Teddy Booth and Teddy Thompson, two noted sportsmen of Redwood City, have organized a bow and arrow club and they propose that their practice shoot will be at *“rails,” which are numerous in the red- woods. Robin snipe are very glentiful on the bay shores of Aiameda. Several of those birds were bagged last Sunday near Alva- rado. At a recent meeting of the Sportsmen’s Protective Association of this City a letter was read from V. V. Harrier of Vallejo declining to attempt to sel! any tickets sent through him to the Vallejo branch of the association, and by a unanimous vote the Solano County annex was stricken from the roll on the ground _that, consid- ering the fact that the initiation fee was waived, the action of the Vallejo Ciub in declining to assist the association to raise funds with which to fight the preserve clubs was too discourteous to pass un- noticed, In reply to this order of affairs the fol- lowing letter appeared in the Morning News of Vallejo on the 9th inst. : Editor News: In reply to the above clipping I will siate that for several weeks past we have been selling membership certificates at$1 each for the purpose of formiug a Sportsman’s Pro- tective Association of Solano County at the re- quest of W.
