10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALI;, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1896. THE FIELD OF SPORT. What the Oarsmen, Athletes and Cyclists Are Doing., The Alpha Cycling Club races at Central Park this afternoon will attract a large gathering of ladies and gentlemen, and especially ladies as they will be aamitted free of charge. An excellent programme has been arranged. The great regatta in which the leading rowing clubs of this City and Stockton have entered, will be held this forenoon at El Campo and if the weather is favorable some grand sport will be witnessed. The Caledonian Club games at Shell Mound Park to-day will doubtless be well sttended. The first baseball match of the season will be decided this afternoon on the new athletic grounds at the Presidio. The yachtsmen will enjoy a first-class day’s outing on the bay to-day. The sportsmen, lovers of trap-shooting, will gather on the shooting-grounds of the Stockton Gun Club, to witness the great inanimate target tournament. -— THE WHEELMEN. Petaluma Wheelmen Preparing for the League Meet In July. CLUB RUNS TO-MOREROW. Bay City Wheelmen—To Blithedale: Camera Club Cyclists—To Sonoma. Garden City Cyclers — To Congress Springs. Imperial Cycling Club—Try-outs at Central Park. Liberty Cycling Club—Blind run. Olympic Club Wheélmen—To Camp Taylor. R San Franciseo Road Club—To Camp Taylor. If there should be any appreciable down- pour of rain to-day it would necessitate the postponement of the Alpha Cycling Club’s race meet at Central Park this aft- ernoon and evening for a week, and would put off the many enjoyable club runs which are scheduled above for to-morrow. The Central Park track is banked all the way around and an hour’s sunshine after a rain would leave it in as good shape as ever. The races will therefore not be put off if the weather is at all fair. In the aft- ernoon the events will be a one-third mile amateur scratch, one-half mile profes- sional seratch and a one-half mile ama- teur handicap. In the evening there will be a one-mile professional handicap and a one-mile amateur scratch. The afternoon programme is by far the best. The entries, heats and handicaps for these races were published in THE CALL yesterday. Anent the departure of three represen- tatives of local cycling houses for Aus- tralia Thursday to look after trade there, the Monowai took down over 300 bicycleson her last trip. Thé craze for the wheel is growing in Australia and New Zealand, and thousands of the machines go there every month. Strange to say, al- though the freight and duty on them is considerable, the best-knowh makes of wheels are sold in Sydney and Melbourne for from $15 to $20 apiece less than they can be pought for here. Harry Monaban will officiate as an- nouncer at the races at Central Park to- day in place of Wilbur Knapp, who went to the Antipodes. A meeting of the board of officers of the North California Division, League of American Wheelmen, has been called for Saturday evening, June 13, at the Reliance Club, Oakland, by Chief Consul Kerrigan. George E. Dixon_and Albert J. Menne, of the Bay City Wheelmen, have been appointed a “committee on racing men’ by the directors of that club, Another member, not yet named, is to be added to the committee. Their duties will prob- ably be to_ assist new racers, encourige old ones and look after the interests of the speedy men of the ciubin general. Itis a good move. The committee will un- doubtedly retain the services of the club trainer, King Rhys, than whom there is no better on the coast, as his careful handling of Champion Wells will testify. The Petaluma wheelmen are hard at WOrK on_the arrangements for their big meet on July 4 and 5, and it wiil unques- tionably be a great success. As it is the annual league meet, the L. A. W, will grant no sanctions to other ciubs for a meet on that day, so that there can be no opposition to the Petaluma gathering, There will be excursions, a dance and parade, and races for which valuable prizes will be given. There is a splendid track there now, but to further improve'it the turns are being raised, and new seats will be added to the grand stand. In ap- purtenances it will rival the track at Cen- tral Park here, which is noted for its splen- did management and many conveniences. ‘The members of the California Cycling Club are in active training for their big road race Sunday, June 21. ‘When George P. Wetmore entertains his fellow-members of the Bay City Wheel- men he does 1t in truly royal styfle, and it is this knowledge which induces the mem- bers to look forward with considerable pleasant anticipation to their run to Biithe- dale to-morrow, where they are to meet him and be his guests for the day. Mr. Wetmore arranged a similar onting last year that was replete with enjoyment and was voted one of the best runs oi the sea- son. R. M. Welch, member of the National Racing Board in California, has 1ssued his bulletin, No. 12, dated San Francisco, May 28, 1896, as foilows: Sanctions granted—June 6, Boys' Brigade, San Francisco: July 4, Capital City Wheelmen, Sacramento. Transferred to professional clasy—Gns E. Wallin, Pocatello, Idaho; H. B. Freeman, San Francisco, Cal; Jumes Tracey, San Luis Obispo, Cal., under clause A ; Hardy Downing, San Jose, Cal., own request. R. M. WELCH, Member National Racing Board. Captain Joseph B. Carey has called a club run of the Garden City Cyclers to Congress Bprings for to-morrow. Anex- cellent lunch will be served the riders at the hotel there. Riders should put their toeclips on cor- rectly. For some unknown reason they are usually boited to the pedal, as though the end of s man’s big toe was in the mid- die of his foot. Shoes used to be made that way, to the great profit oi chiropod- ists, but the modern article conforms to the shape of & man’s foot and brings the toe well toward the inside. So bolt your toeclips well toward the inside of your pedals. You will be surprised at the re. sult. It seems almost 1oolish to call a tention to such a little point, but it is so universally overlooked that I mention it, not for the particuiar benefit of the racing man, but for the great and increasing army of tourists that bave discuvered toeclips to be a great comfort on rough roads and when riding hands off to rest one’s self by & change of position. The San Francisco Road Club will jour- ney to Camp Taylor to-morrow. One de- tachment, under Captain Pixiey, will take the 8 A. M. Sausalito boat _and ride the en- tire distance from there. The second party will go by the 9 o’clock ferry, and take the local train to San- Anselmo, riding trom that point, under the iwo lieutenants, Lewis and Gilmore. .

This course is eenenllly pre- -| ferred to the one at San Carlos on. this side, as at the latter point there are no accommodations for wheelmen, and after racing five miles the men must recover the ground to get their clothes and such attention as they need. The roads are somewhat better on this side, but owin to the accommodations o be had at_bot! ends of the ride across the bay, San Lean- dro and Haywards, and the convenience of an electric-car system alongside the course, whereby the race may ve followed and watched the entire distance, most of the road events this year will be held in Alameda County. Zigzag hill climbing is easier than the straight lift. The cyclist can here learn of the mule. No mule native to a mountain- ous region takes a straight course uphill with a load, but *‘weaves” continually irom one side of the way to the other. 1f you want to steer well let your eyes meet the surface of the ground at a point not less than thirty feet ahead of the bicy- j cle. Many new riders fix their gaze con- tinually, on a point immediately ahead of their front wheel and this is the chief cause ot their wobbling. At a rough estimate there were about 200 class B men known as crack riders last season. Of these, all of 150 are now out of employment. The North California division, League of American Wheelmen, has had another good week, forty-three new members being the showing made by the last bulletin. Secretary-Treasurer Scovern announces tifat all of the roadbooks of the late edi- tion are gone. The touring committee is | now working on a second edition with | some improvements, which it will take some time to get ready. The handbook of this division will be out June 10 or thereabouts, and will be an exceedingly valuable pamphlet. it is free to members only, and can be had by addressing the secretary, Stanley G. Scovern, 1590 Fulton street, City. Members would do well to send their requests in now, as the demand for the book will be heavy and the first edition may soon be exhausted. The new members’ badges are reacy for delivery. They are of silver and can be had from the secretary at aciual cost to the division, 35 cents each. There will be a twenty-five mile relay race to-morrow between the Menlo Park Cyclers, Redwood City Wheelmen, Moun- tain View Cyclers, Independent Cyclers of Mountain View, Franklin Road Club of San Joseand the Bohemian Cylers of Santa Clara. The course commences at San Mateo and finishes at Santa Clara. The following are the teams entered by the different clubs and their respective positions: Redwood City Cyclers—Jack Ley, Percy Wilson, C. Allen, H. Gremmenstein, Al Johnson. Menlo Park Wheelmer—Win Barnhisel, G. Anarews, William Hammerson, H. Weeden, William Casey. Independent Cyclers of Mountain View— A. Clark, H. Carter, D. Murphy, J. Francis, J. Mockbee. Mountain View Wheelmen—P. H. Mill- bery, M. Mosconi, Ira Goodrich, Ray Bubb, i{aifio%g. Franklin Road Club of San Jose—J. Reed, A, Viet, F. Brown, C. Doble, J. Carroll. Bohemian Club of Santa Clara—H. Al- | den, George Mitchell, E. McQuaid. C. Bar- | low, C. Lain. Rod Taylor, the crack rider of the Menlo | ‘Wheelmen, and holder of - the tive-mile championship of San Mateo County, will not ride, owing to some trouble between himself and the racing board, Much is expected c¢f the Menlo Wheel- | men, they having defeated the. Pirate | ‘Wheelmen in a similar contest last year. C. M. Murpty, the well-known racing | man, was arrested recently for scorching. He was fined $5 and released with a repri- mand. It must have been a pretty hot “scorch’ for **Brother Charles,”’ and those who have seen him ride will wonder how in the world any peace officer ever caught nim. A bicycle chain should not be tight. No chain and whegls can be made which will run well unless there is a little “‘slack’ to the chain. Ir fact, there is no danger of the chain being too loose so long as it cannot possibly get off the teeth of the sprocket wheels. If you have any doubt | as to whether a chain is loose enough roll the machine forward a few steps, and while it is still moving forward slightly take hold of the lower part of the chain, and unless it has the feeling of being per- fectly loose the adjustment is too tight. A chain should be kept well oiled in its bearings and lubricated with graphite or something similar on the wearing side. SPALDING. e ROD AND GUN. Adventures of Two Local Angiers on Calaveras Creek. Notwithstanding that the streams within a few nours’ railroad travel of this City are now in tip-top condition for fly-fishing, re- ports from, favorite resorts during the week have been few. James Reynolds and a friend whipped three miles of the Lagunitas last Tuesday and had fairly good success. Mr. Rey- nolds states that the stream still continues very high, and that small fish are toler- ably plentiful. The Paper-mill is a wonnerfully prolific stream, and from the continuous whipping it receives one must naturaily feel sur- prised that there are any fish remaining at this season of the year. But the Paper-mill, regardless of the whipping it gets from the opening to the ending of the angling months, is tia best local bit oi fishing water within a radins of 100 miles of this City. The Sonoma Creek is doomed. A hog ranch, which was opened this year on a tributary near Glen Ellen, will be the means of keeping the stream in a muddy condition during_the season for angling. When the water is discolored there can be but little hope for those who cast flies principally. Some years ago the Sonoma was the star fishing stream of the near counties to this out_blow when his lightning slide down grade and against time was interrupted by a projecting imb. Mr. Watt states positively that he has bad a sufficient experieace in the way of tree-sliding over deep-water pools. Lloyd Eaton, Al Newman and Charley Dietz left last evening for a right royal ood “time trout fishing in the streams that empty into Russian River near Clov- erdale, Dietz states that he will not try horseback riding on this occasion and that shank’s mare 1s good enough for him while traversing the rocky mountains of Sonoma County. :; d Head and wife, with five com- anions, will leave this evening for Colonel ain’s egg and butter ranch, on Calaveras Creek. r. Head expects to return with fish galore for all his friends. The much-talked-of inanimate target tournament will be hela to-day at Stock- ton. The Olympic Club team of shooters left this City Thursday evening for Stock- ton. They held several practice shoots yesterday, and unless something very uu- foreseen hsp{)ens the Olympic colors should be well in front this afternoon. The San Joaquin Valley Gun Club will be represented in the tournament by E. E. McVeagh, James Rice, Guy Gilmer, Al'and Guy Lovelace of Dinuba; Woods and Armitage of Fresno, 0. M. Judy of Reedley, Jack Shiell of Kingsburg and George W. Hinkle of Lemoore. The Lincoln Gun Club will in all prob- ability “‘walk away” with the best prizes. The team is a very strong one. The Alameda County gportsmcn‘s Club will soon have finely equipped quarters at Alameda Point. A contract has been let for a new club building, traps, etc., to cost $1753. Three sets of traps will be put up and the clubhouse will be arranged so as to have ‘a meeting-room on the second floor with a large observation window overlooking the shooting grounds. The club has control of a three-acre tract at Alameda Point, and when their improve- ments are completed the clubmen will gave the finest equipped grounds in the tate. Cie e THE OARSMEN. Full Particulars of the EI Campo Regatta—Donors of Prizes. The much-talked-of regatta under the auspices of the South End Rowing Ciub will be held to-day at El Campo. The entries for the different events were published exclusively in THE CALL last Saturday, and the South Ena boat club of Club will hold its annusal regatta and high jinks on Sunday, May 31, at the foot of Pol’i‘: street. it 3 el aquatic sports will commence a LG B ghn 2 :3‘1 several - interesting events will be held. **A.

IN TO-DAY’S REGATTA AT EL CAMPO, [From photographs by Bushnell.] this Gity has spared neither time, trouble nor expense to make the regatta the great- est aquatic event held on the bay in years. All arrangements for the affair are com- leted, and yvesterday the regatta officials Jaia Jont ‘the toutimant made everything ready for the races to start immediately upon the arrival of the 10 o’clock boat from the City, by bringing the races off in the morning calm water is assured. The Dolphins’ junior crew tried them- selves out with a tug during the week and held it down from the boathouse to Lom- bard-street wharf, a distance of a mile. The Ariel crew went over the Long Bridge course in 10:08, which is nearly as fast as the time made by the senior crew of the celebrated South End Club, who rowed over the course in a little over nine minutes. The greatest confidence is placed in the Olympic Club crew—and it is not mis- placed confidence, either—and unless the crew from Stockton looms up as a dark horse, the Olymdplc boys should win the junior four-oared barge race. The Olympians are undoubtedly the best trained. Ina tryout with the senior crew of the South End Club from the sugar refinery to Hunters Point, a distance of three miles, they held their own to per- fection. While the South Ends have been active in making preparations for the regatta, they have not neglected theirracing lads and will have in the field two very strong crews, a junior and senior. Their junior Robert Ellis, Outrigger Skiff in To- Day’'s Regatta at El Campo. crew was just recently organized, but fs composed of the club’s best oarsmen, and, with their clever cockswain, George Mc- Grill, they expect to keep well up fo the leaders. The crews from the San Francisco Ath- letic Club have been working hard under the tutorship of Captain N. Conroy, snd although this is their first experience in a boat race they will, no doubt, give a good account of themselves, as they are all trained athletes. Considerable money is rolng to change hands on the single-scull race, in which are entered F. Duplissea, W. McCausland and A. G. Brown of Stockton.. Duplissea is the favorite, but there is no end of Mec- City, but it is extremely doubtful il trout fishing in this creek will ever amount to anvthing so longas the present condition of ‘affairs continue. Latest reports from the Pieta and other streams near €loverdale staté that the few recent days of warm weather have vastly improvea the sport of anglers and that fiy tishing is now excellent. James Watt and J. A. Pariser, two ven- erable anglers of the old school, enioye'd first-class xflort last Saturday on the Cal- averas Creek. The disciples of the gentle art were met by W. Bains of MilEitu and conveyed to his ranch by a spanking team. After en- joying a hearty supper, a magnificant night’s enoring and dreams of big, silve: fishes, all of which feasts were settle down by a bounteous breakfast, consisting of streaming hot coffee, hot biscuits and four dozen fresh eggs, the anglers quickly posed their long-distance eyeglasses over :‘hfl; nuksalt lp;:;nd:hges and :_umd off at aybreak for ‘the haunts of the 3 steelhead. L They returned with *‘well-tilled’’ baskets and clothes that had been in soak several times during the day. Mr. Pariser got one good ducking while wildly endeavor- ing to save a two-pound trout, which finally got away just as the angler was abodut to }lslm hands upon it. fir. Watt tried a little tobogganing on the trunk of a tree that had seen better days, and, thanks to his fishing-basket fortu- nately mpgad its moorings in the nick of time and drifting around to the angler’s breastworks it saved bim from a knock- Causland money flyln% around, and the sport-loving people of Stockton will come down, it is said, in goodly numbers to back their favorite. A change has been made in the officers of theday. John E. Budd, brother of the Governor, has taken John Elliot's place as jndge, and W. B. Henchman of Alameda will act as official time-keeper. Following is a list of prizes for the dif- ferent events and their donators: Senior barge, gold medals, donated by County Clerk Curry; junior barge, gold medals, denated by John D.

F=t oo sdlbian, THE RIFLE. A Big Fifty-Shot Match to Be Held at Sheil Mound To-Morrow. There will be an interesting fifty-shot rifle match, open to all comers, to-morrow at the Shell Mound range, and such marks- men as Glindemann, Strecker, Pape, Young, Burfeind, McLaughlin, Schuster and others have signified their intention of participating .therein. The match will be shot on the Columbia target and $5 en- | trance. It has been agreed that §1 shall be paid on each flag, which represents a center shot. The money will be divided thus: Sixty per cent, after all flags are paid for, to go to'the one making the best fifty-shot score ana 40 per cent to_the one making the best ten-shot score. This will give all, poor as well as good shots, a chance at the prizes. Mr. Otten, one of the directors of the San Jose Schuetzen section of the Turn Verein, was recently in this City to invite the San Francisco marksmen to attend the opening shooting festival of the. new Turners’ rifle range; also to learn from the local shots what date would be the best for this event. The new San Jose range will be furnished and fitted with all of the modern appliances for targets, shooting-stands, etc. The range is 200 yards and it is expected that there will be a 50-yard pistol range attached. Eight double targets will be in use. The system of marking will be by the usual discs’held over the shots on the targzets, and the value of the shots will be registered on wheels in the scorer’s stand similar to those used on the Suell Mouud and Schut- zen ranges. These wheels are moved by endless wires to the numbers desired by the markers at the targets, and so far no ;yslem has proved superior or more satis- actory. Shots will be called by means of electric The Glindemann Military Rifle Medal Presented to the Columbia Club by W. Glindemann. wires and buttons connecting the scores | with the markers. The opening of the range will be celebrated with appropriate ceremonies and festivities. arksmen from all over the State will attend, and in- vitations will be sent to all shooting clubs to send representatives. The attendance will no doubt be large, as tnere will be a large number of cash prizes to b”;‘hfl for on the public targets. San ncisco marksmen favor the opening on the fifth Sunday of August, as that will be an “off"’ Bunday for all rifieclubs, S range is a large dancing pavilion. iliam Glindemann has just finished the beautiful medal that he has presented to the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club to tl:‘ls:flwn as the Glindemann military rifle 1t is of solid gold, and the workm‘nlhifi is excellent. The medal is open to competitors, outside as well as in the club, and it will be awarded to the one making the best ten scores, ten shots to a score, during the year. One of the condi- tions is that it will be shot for on the Creedmore count of the Columbia_target. On this target the inside of the 8 ring is the same as the Creedmore 5. From 8 to 26is the Creedmore 4, ard outside of 26 is the Creedmore 3. It is expected that there will be a hot competition for the medal be- fore the season is over. —_—— THE BOXERS. Fighters Who Will Box Under the Auspices of the Natlonal Club. Jimmy Carroll, the clever lightweight boxer, is of the opinion that the Mechan- ics’ Pavilion will hold an immense crowd of sport lovers next Wednesaay evening, June 3, when the National Athletic Club will introduce its galaxy of fistic talent. The physical-culture entertainment will Billy Gallagher, 148 Pounds. consist of four eight-round contests be- tween the following well-known pugilists: Tom Sharkey and Jim Williams, heavy- weights, who will fight at 182 pounds; Patsy Corrigan and Billy Smith, heavy- weights, 175 pounds; Billy Gallagher and Danny Needham; welter-weights, 147 ounds: Arthur Walker of Australia and rofessor George Allen of Chicago, 147 pounds. The g:gilists are in good condition, and it can be rafely said that some very excit- ing rounds will be witnessed. The events of the evening will be the meetings be- tween Sharkey and Williams and, Need- ham ana Gallagher. Williams arrived from Salt Lake a few. days ago and is now in training at Sausa- lito, where he will remsin with his attend- ant until next Wednesday. He says that he will not return home with defeat stamped upon his brow, but the great nautical diver and bag-smasher of the CJiff says that Williams may have stamps ull over his anatomy after he has finished a fistic interview with him. Billy Gallagher will be a very much sur- prised man if Needham will have the bet- ter of their little eight round argument. Gallagher 1s as hard as steel and his game qualities have never been questioned. The fistic programme is a good one, and unless something very unforseen happens between now and Wednesday evening, the lovers of good boxing will be given a treat at the Pavilion. Jim Corbett is on his way to this City. In an interview with & correspondent of TrE CALL at Salt Lake he stated that he may not journey as far as 'Frisco. He is expecting a cablegram from his manager, Brady, who is now in England watching Jim Williams of Salt Lake, 182 Pounds. the movements of Fitzsimmons and Jack- son. California James is ready at a mo- ment’s notice to ship for the land of roast beef and plum pudding. He expects that his next battle will be with Fitzsimmons in England. According to his latest statement he will follow *‘the champion” over the water and compel the New Zealander to either fightor crawfish. It is safe to say, however, that Corbett will see his native city ard ola time companions before he will place foot on the streets of London. Choynski is here and if James and Joseph can asree upon an eight or -ten round contest at the Pavilion, they can count upon a great house and a large display of pocket money even though the contest may be announced as a scientific exhibition be- tween the stars of the heavy-weight division of fighters. FEambe ) COURSING. The Great Interstate Meeting Will Be Held To-Day at Inglesides The Interstate Coursing Cltib will give its second indoor meeting to-day at Ingle- side Park and it, goes without saying that a large and select gathering of the lovers of good and clean coursing will be present to witness many of the best dogs in the State stretching themselves in gmeling courses after the long-legged “‘jacks' which have recently ved from Merced. The manager of the park has made very extensive preparations to receive the sportsmen and their lady friends to-day. The coursing sward is in magnificent condition -after the bath it received on Thursday night, and the famous judge, Jobn Grace, predicts a great day’s sport, as both dogs and hares will bein fine fettle for long and spirited races. The “draw” is as follows: 01d dogs—T. Cooney’s Grannall vs. E. §. Por- tel's Eldridge, West Side kennel’s West Side vs. H. Lang’s Lassie Gourie, J. H. Rossiter's Ara- ahoe vs. J. F.

The following culling from the Ameri- can Field will give leashmen an idea of the prices that are paid for good grey- hounds in England. It says: . The end of theseason in the United King- dom finds coursing more strongly supported than ever. The very latest recruits are Sir Humpbhrey de Trafford and the Duke of Leeds, each of whom is getting together a strong ken- nel for next season. Their purchases are &l most confined to saplings, which are making prices if of fashionable lineage and taking style; and, by the way, Young Fullerton’s get appear to sell as well as any others. This buying of sapiings is & good deal of & specula- tion, and otten enough at the end of their first season greyhounds wou't sell for 20 per cent of the figure paid for them as youngsters; but, on the other hand, if they have turned out well, they are worth over and over again what was paid for them. At'the Barbican, London, on April 18, Tom Graham and Lambert Nicholls’ young stock made the best averages. Mr. Graham only sent up four, but three of them were winners of sapling stakesat Witham enclosed meeting the last week of the season. Guess It and Gal- atia, both by Young Fullerton-Sally Millburn, realized $380 and $250; Gnest, by Norway- Mary Webster, went for $160, and a biack bitch by Norway-Mary Harding for $85; thus the four saplings netted Mr. Graham $875- Mr. Nicholls got $485 for three sapiings by Neston-Ningara and $690 for four by Patrick Blue-Nordic: he also sold a litter of nine by Cheracter-Nebula, of which three brindled bitches fetched $660, the balance only realiz- ing $355. No coursing will be held to-day at Ocean View Park on account of counter attrac- tions, but on Sunday a 32-dog stake, in which the pick of the local dogs are en- tered, will be run. The hounds entered are very evenly matched, and the betting should be spirited. A fine lot of new hares have recently been putin the paddocks, and a good day’s sport isanticipated. Fol- lowing is the result of the drawing: A. Merrill’s Ben Brush vs. J. Sexsmith’s Mis- sion Boy, D. Chilla’s Happy Day vs. A, Mer- rill's Snowbird, Villa kennel’s Elgotric vs. 8.

All indications at the Jpening of the present cricket year pointed to record- breaking on three continents. The first fulfillment of the forecast comes from England, where the record for the largest number of individual scores in a single inning has been broken. It occurred in the Yorksuire vs. Warwickshire match at Birmingham, where the former held pos- session of the wickets for two whole days and ran up the gigantic score of 887 runs. This score beats all previous records in an inning total. The one comiug nearest it, m first-class events, was achieved by the Australian eleven on their last tour, at Portsmouth, when, on July 31 and August 1and 3, 1893, they ran up a total of 843 against Oxrord and Cambridge Past and Present. - The highest score in any match was made by the Orleans Club, when their total was 920 against Rukling Green, in Aungust, 1882. The individual achieve- ments on the present occasion are abso- lutely unprecedented. No less than four of the team attained treble figures—Peel, 210 not out, Lord Hawke 166, Wainwright 126, and F. 8. Jackson 117. While there are many instances of three ‘‘centuries” in one inning, on no previous occasion has there been over three. Latest accounts give the match between Australia vs. Lord Sheffield’s eleven as a draw. The Britisbers had six wickets fo fall and only fourteen runs to get to win when time was called. The Eastern colleges have stolen Cali- fornia’s thunder by establishing an inter- collegiate association with a cup trophy. Harverford (Pa.) Coilege is about to send a team to England to compete with Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester, Norwich and other leading schools. Local players will be interested to hear that A. g Webster, iate of the Bohemians, is distinguishing himself in the East. Playing for the New Jersey Athletic Asso- ciation recently he scored 32 not out and kept wickets superbly. The much-talked-of two days’ match, Ground vs. Ground, will ‘commence this morning at Alameda at 11:30 sharp. Fol- lowing are the teams: Alamedas—Hogue, Hood, Price, Peel, Randall (Alameda C. C.,, G. Theobald, Myers, iseman, Casidy, Mutch and Wise (Pacific C. C.) Golden Gates—W. Robertson, Dr. Bow- hill, Smith, Reynolds, Pollock, - West, Martin, Townsley, Jones, Newman and Van Orden. It should be a contest well worth seeing.

Every man has sown his wild oats to some extent before he reaches the age of manhood, and there is in every man more or less of the effect of his early indiscretions. Z You yourself know better than anybody else how weak’ you are. You have felt the ravages of nervous waste in your body, and you know that sooner or later it will show in your face. It is the serpent—nervous debility—which slowly takes from under you the very foun- dation of your nerve power—of your manhood. Destroy it— cleanse your system of its pres- ence. -You can do thi§ with electricity. Electricity is the life of ‘the nerves. When the nerves are filled with it there is no chance for disease to exist. If you will charge your nerves with elec- tricity you can drive out forever the serpent that is slowly de- stroying your life. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt, the ideal of all progressive physicians for restoring wasted manhood, has made thousands of men happy. It has reclaimed their manhood and set a new standard of manly vigor. “I feel brighter, sleep better, awake refreshed and know I am going to get cured,” is the report of a patient who has used the Belt two weeks. You will feel the effect of the electricity right away, and it will infuse such confidence into you that you will soon forget your troubles. Try it to-day. Anyway, get the book “Three Classes of Men,” which tells of so many men who have been made happy. It is sent sealed, free.
