The managers of the National Athletic Club feel happy, because the enlertainme{fl they propose giving at the Pavilion will not be interfered with by the authorities. | The boxers who will spar on this occasion are now in first-class condition, and a good evening’s sport is assured. The wheelmen have planned severa road races for to-morrow. The oarsmen are 1n strict training for 1 the races which will be held in Stockton ; on July 4 TRe contest between crews from the Pioneer and South End boating clubs will, it is thought, be the feature of the day’s sport.

The annual race meet of the North Cali- fornia Division, League of American ‘Wheelmen, will be held this year at Peta- luma on July 4 and 5, under the auspices of the Petaluma Wheelmen, who are striv- ing hard to make it a big snccess. The fact that the division has grown so in membership and power during the admin- istration of Chief Consul Kerrigan has tended to give the meet greater importance than ever before, and it will doubtless be attended by nearly all the league mem- bers in North California and by hundreds of wheelmen from this City. Besides the racing on Saturday, the 4th, there have been arranged a smoker for the night of the 3d,a bicycle lantern parade for vaiu- able prizes on the night of the 4th, and in fact such a snccession of events from Fri- day to Sunday evening that if tors ex- to take in everything they will have or no tirze for rest or sleep. bl little Of course the bicycie races to be run Sat- | urday afternoon will be the big feature of | follo mme of been the meet.

It is the duty of every league me mber in Caiifornia to lena hie support to the ivision meet and belp to make it a suc- d from the hearty way in which ig city clubs and the division officers aking hold: of the affair, it seems lik to be one of the largest meets and biggest cycling functions ever held in the State. The league has grown in popular- and importance to such a degree that a sue member now feels that he amounts to someting besides merely belonging to a wheeling organization together with fifty thousand other souls. And the ad- vantages to be gained from a membership s may be se- Maclay, secre- di in the league are so many, ata minimum | of expense, $L per year, that it seems poor economy for any wheelman not to join. Applications and fuli data regard- ing the league may be had by addressing the cycling editor of THE CALL.

WELCH, Member National Racing Board. The meeting of the California Cycling Ciub last Monday evening was largely at- tended. Captain Mayo read a very weil- written report of the Sunday’s club run to San Leandro, Haywards and Lake Chabot. The mile handicap road race held by the club at San Leandro last Sunday was won by Van Dyne, with Birdsall second and Theisen third. The time of the fastest heat was 2:23. The club will celebrate its amateur—Gold watch or | be | [ fourth anniversary with the annual club | dinner, to be held on the evening of June | 27. Indications point to a large attend- ance and a pleasant time Many members of the California Cycling | Club are in training for the five-mile road | race to pe held on Sunday, June 21. The ‘lisl of entries is already large. A new | course has been selected, starting on the | backstretch of the triangle, near San | Leandro, following the triangle course to | the junction of Haywaras road and finish- ing in Haywards. While not official, the | course is fast, as the roads are good and | the turns safe. A club smoker is one of the events of the near future planned by the Californias. What promises to be one of the prettiest races of the year will be that scheduled to take vlace at Manhattan Beach track July 25, between Walter Sanger, Eddie Bald and Tom Cooper, three of the fastest men on the American track. The match was arranged by Dan Smith, representing the New York Herald, and the occasion will be the annual Herald meet for the benefit of its free-ice fund. Otto Ziegler, Cali- fornia’s star, and W. W. Hamilton of Denver have also been invited to compete. The prizes will be $300, $150 and $100. The race will be paced throughout. The Liberty Cyeling Club will have a run to-morrow under Captain Beattie to Camp Taylor, taking the 8 . M. Sausalito boat and train to San Anselmo. Walter O’Brien, first lieutenant of the Garden City Cyclers of San Jose, has been r)romoled to the captaincy, made vacant by the resignation of Joseph B. Carey. Charles Jarman will take Mr. O'Brien’s former office of lieutenant. Dan E. Whitman, the speedy Los Ange- les rider, isin the City, and will ride at the league meet at Petaluma on July 4. He isin good shape and is riding faster than ever before. Captain Argenti has arranged a picnic run of the Camera Club Cyclists for to- morrow to the vicinity of Camp Taylor. | The party will leave on the 8 A. M. Sau- alito ferry and take the train asfar as | San Anselmo. Those not desiring to ride | the entire distance from there can proceed by train to San Geronimo and there await | those who start from San Anselmo, thus | avoiding that bugbear of the Camp Taylor | trip, Whites Hill, which is not such a hard climb afterall, once you have reached the top of it. A picturesque piace will be | chosen on the Lagunitas Creek for lunch- ing. The entire distance round trip is but miles from San Anseimo or 12 miles from San Geronimo, and it is such easy pleasant riding it is expected a great many | of the ladies of the club will make the 22 trio. The Golden Gate Cycling Club will give a party next Tuesday evening at its new | clubrooms, Howard and Seventeenth | streets. In about a fortnight the club will hold a tryout over the San Mateo-San Carlos course to select ateam for the twenty-mile Asszociated Clubs race next montb. There seems to be some misunderstand- ing among those interested in cycle-racing | here as to the exact whereabouts of Charley Wells, and the report was current sterday that he had returned to this City. As stated in THE CaLL last Satur- d Wells was taken ill in Los Angeles and the circuit-chasers went East without him, but he has since followed on and is | now at Galveston, Tex., and has no idea of returning to the coast at present. P. Ayiward, Ziegler's trainer, writes me from Galveston that Ziegler wouid file charges with the Natioual racing board | against Tom Cooper and George Grant for an slleged foul during the one-mile pro- | fessional race at Chester Park, Cincinnati, | May 16. The matter is creating an im- mense amount of talk in Eastern wheeling | circles where it has become known, as Cooper and Grant would undoubtedly be suspended if Ziegler's claims of crooked work on their part were proven, and he is said to have a strong case. Aylward says that Ziegler paced the first lap of the race and then dropped back, waiting for some oue else to come to the front, but no one would and he had to keep the pace. On the last lap he was leading on the pole | and heard Grant yell to Cooper, ‘‘Come on, | Tom, I'll pull you through.” Then, Zieg- ler alleges, Grant deliberately crowded him off the track on to the grass and | kept him off for some distance, and | when Ziegler got back on the track he | was fuliy twenty yards behind, with | Grant, Allen and Cooper setting a | hot clip for the tape. Ziegler, however, | kept right after them and managed to land in third place, with Cooper first, Al- |len second and Grant Tourth. Ziegler | protested to Referee Croninger, who | promptly disqualified Grant for the next | event. Ziegler and Grant haa a heated discussion at the training quarters after | the race, and Grant later apologized to | Ziegler for his alleged act. From the | grand stand it was plainly visible that iegler was forced off the track, but how it | occurred could not be seen. | It is quite likely that Cooper and Grant | may be indefinitely suspended for this piece of crooked work. The two have been working together on some ‘‘pot-hunting” trips and twice rode against Ziegler, who competed, though out of condition, at the request of the meet promoters, as he is a great drawing card. Cooper and Grant have thus far not ridden on the National circuit, and they would not dare to try such tricks there. One can imagine them | trying to crowd off Wells or Terrill, Bald, | Sanger or Coulter, all 200-pounders. They | would never know what struck them. | The Olympic Club Wheelmen of this City and the Reliance Club Whee!men of Oakland will have a joint club run to-mor- | row to Woodside, San Mateo County, via | Redwood City. Both clubs expect to turn out 1n large numbers and the trip should be a pleasant one. The defeat of John S. Johnson abroad by three foreign riders has been the sub- | ject of considerable comment. That this rider, who has proved himself a prize- winner and champion on this side of the water, should be so unmercifully trounced by men who would not stand a ghost of a show against at least four American riders, i¥ naturally a maiter that has proved irritable to the sensitive natures of Americans who look upon successfal con- | quests in Europe as a matter of course. | But it must be understood that racing in | France 1s much different from the way it is conducted in this councry. Over there a champion cyclist is the envied of the | envied. He is feted and treated like a lord while his star is in the ascendency, but let him fall and the sympathies of the people fly to his conqueror. Naturally an intrepid race, the Frenchmen make the most of their nerve, particularly in cycle racing, where there are so many competitors, and where it 1s & hard matter to remain on top very long. The tracks over there are very small ang well banked. To see the riders skurrying around the turns or into the stretch is worth going miles to witness. - They do not know what fear is, and American racing men must be- come accustomed to such competition. Tye method of pacemaking in vogue in France bas been got down to a system, and French racing men know how to fol- low pace. Under such circumstances it is not to be wondered at that Johnson has as yet made but a poor showing. Three more Americans will soon be comveting on the other side, Wheeler, Murphy and Kiser. Wheeler understands the tactics of the men he must meet, for he has defeated the best of them in international champion- ships. Kiser and Murphy will soon be initiated. There will be three bicycle road races held at Watsonville on July 3 in conjunc- tion with the Independence day celebra- tion there. The distances are one-third. one-half and six and one-half miles, and liberal prizes are offered. The wheelmen of Eureka Valley have organized the Golden Gate Wheelmen for social purposes and to place the sport on a better footing in that part of town.

The club, only organized a few days ago, has a member- ship of thirty, and at the next meeting about ten more names will be voted on. There will be forty chairter members. The following officers have been elected for the ensuing term: President, Charles Nagle; vice-president, E. Douglas; secre- tary, William Cooney; financial seczetary, J. Morgan; treasurer, Harry Fee; cap- tain, William Fe\lin,f; first lieutenant, Rube Martin; second lieutenant, E. Biggs. John F. Cunningham of Levi Strauss & Co. and P. H. Farrell of Neustadter Bros. will start to-day on a wheeling trip through Lake County. 5 The members of the San Francisco Road Club will take the steamer Zinfandel at 11 | o'clock 10-night for Napa and wheel to the | various points of interest there to-morrow. Captain Pixley expects a large turnout. Clarence N. Ravlin of the Olympic Club Wheeimen has returned to his former position as cycling editor of the Chronicle in place of 8. B. Vincent. The Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland | will hold a road race to-morrow from Fruitvale to Haywards, starting from High street, Fruitvale, at 11 A. M. The finish will be at Haywards, via San Lean- dro and San Lorenzo, following two sides of the San Leandro triangle instead of the usual straigzhtaway course. This is necessary, as the road between San Lean- dro and ‘Haywards is in poor condition. The following are the entries and handi- caps as arranged by Captain Swain: J.J. Gallagher, 4 minutes; J. Roth, 3:30; G. Westphal, 3; G. A. Wyman and F. Simen, 2:45; 5 , 2:30; T. Schieuter, H. V. i 2; J. A Clymer, C, H. Staples, A, H. Agnew and F. Cortage, 1:45; E.J. Smith, 1:30; A. S.

The regular meeting of the board of officers of the North California Division, League of America’ Wheelmen, will be held this evening at t .e rooms of the Re- liance Club, Oakland, at 8 o’clock. E. Edwards, the popular Olympic | racer, is enjoying a tandem trip with a friend through Santa Clara and Monterey counties. Frank W. Fuller, George H. Btratton and John F. McGlynn of the Olympic Club Wheeimen, will depart in a few days on a hunting and fishing trip in Hum- boldt and Mendocino counties. SeaLpING. A AT GUN AND DOG. Recreation, Olymplic and Lincoln Gun Clubs’ Shoot To-Morrow. On Sunday the Recreation, Olympic and Lincoln Gun clubs will hold their monthly | inanimate target shooting matches at the Lincoln grounds, Alameda Point. The Empire Club has offered splendid induce- ments to sportsmen who will contest in an open shoot for valuable prizes on Sunday afternoon at Alameda Point. The club will hold its monthly contest in the forenoon. The dog-fanciers have commenced to discuss the next field-trial contests, which will undoubtedly be held near Bakers- field. The entries for the derby will close with J. H. Kileariff, the secretary, on July 1. The Pacific Kennel Club will hold its annual meeting and election of officers on Wednesday evening next. A large attend- ance will undoubtedly be present, as busi- ness of more than ordinary importance will be transacted. In all probability the present officials | will be re-elected as they have done ex- cellent service. The club has always kept in mind that it is the worst of policy to remove from office men who have proven themselves good and faithful servants. The old adage, let well enough alone, will not be forzotten by the members who will cast their ballots on Wednesday evening. A breeder of some years’ experience, but whose modesty will not permit him to subscribe his name, shies his castor into the ring with the following challenge, says the American Field: *“Will some one of the very many breeders of high-class fox terriers and cocker spaniels tell me why it is that the fox terrier is allowed a long leg to win with, while the cocker spaniel must be very low in the leg in order to win? I have been reading Stonehenge in regard to fox terriers, and I can’t see consistency in the types of a long-legged fox terrier and a cocker that must crawl. I should think to reverse the comgariuon would be a proper thing, since the former was made to go under ground and the latter to stay on top.” Hereisa grand opportunity for some authority to solemnly trot out the time-honored hallucination” that it is part of a fox terrier's business to run with hounds. In his report of the Pacific Kennel Club’'s recent exhibition of dogs thisis what Judge Mortimer says of Dr. Mc- Nutt’s highly prized deerhound: Derby was the only entry; a really grand-headed dog of great size, excellent legs and feet, fiood body and very muscular quarters, ut he is very slightly cowhocked and does not move as weil behind as he should in his slow paces. g As large numbers of Mongolian pheasants have been introduced into many of the near counties to San Fran- cisco within the past vear, the following opinion of a prominent Eastern sportsman wiil be of interest to Californians: Presi- dent E.G. Gay of the Maine Game and Protective Association says that if pure- blooded Mongolian pheasants can be ob- tained they are a valuable acquisition to the game of a State, but that the crossbred birds ere ferocious and destructive to other game birds. Mr. Gay greatly pre- fers the capercailzie and black game from Norway and Sweden if new birds are to be introduced into his State. Lo e THE BOXERS. Tom Sharkey Does Not Belleve In Slogezing—0Oakland Bantams. Now that the National Athletic Club’s warship “Physical Culture” has escaped the treacherous rocks upon which Captain | Groom had feared it would founder there is rejoicing among the fistic fraternity whe favor free sailing. Tom Sharkey is delighted that there will be no further impediments placed in his way of a meeting with Champion Jim. “Why,” said Tom, ‘the idea that this con- test will be of a brutal natureis most absurd. If any of the members of the Civic rederation, or any other federation for that matter, had ever seen me box they would have changed their minds very quickly—that is so far as brutal sport is concerned. “Any of the boys will tell you that I have never hurt anybody in my life, and why? Because I am scientific and understand how to hit. I have whipped all of my op- ponents, but my work was cleanly done, and I think the sporting people of this City should give me some credit for what I have accomplished. “Isuppose if I slogged my opponents out ‘T would benow considered a great fighter. There is no need of the good people feel- ing any particular anxiety over the com- ing contest. Iam scientific, and so is Jim Corbett, therefore the sporting people can count upon seeing a clever and interesting exhibition of fisticuffs at the Pavilion on the evening of the 24th inst. “‘Why, the idea of Tom Sharkey being called a slogger is preposterous. The fact of the matter is, half the fellows who pre- tend to know all about the game don’t know a good and clever boxer when they see him_ perform. But they will change their minds about Tom Sharkey after he has a settlement with Champion Jim.” The bantam-weight boxing tournament for the championship of the coast will open in the Oakland Athletic Club’s gym- nasium on Tuesday evening, the 30th inst. A sanction has been received from the Pa- cific Athletic Association and extensive preparations are being made with a view of making this exhibition a grand success. In the wrestling pouts the one of spe- cial interest wifi be a contest between Harry Gelder, tbe champion feather- weight of the coast, and R. Wixon of the lightweight cla:s. Amateur boxers from the clubs of the assoviation are now in training for the boxing events. The club- rooms are located on the cornerof B and Hollis streets, M. Whelan, a boxer of some note, whoisa pupil of Jimmy Carroll, states his willingness to meet any 133 or 135 pound boxer of this coast in a finish or limited round contest. MR e THE OARSMEN. Stockton’s Great Regatta and the Crews That Are In Training. The Stockton Athletic Association is hard at work making preparations for the rowing regatta which will be held on the Fourth of July. Knowing that rowing regattas on the bay on the Fourth of July have been rele- gated to oblivion the association is alive to th- issue and is making a strong bid to have a Fourth of July regatta a special feature of the yearly celebrations. The oarsmen of Stockton intend to sur- prise the local men when they meet on it DEERHOUND “ DERBY.” the channel, and 1f form cuts any ice the Stockton boys, from the outrigger skiff oarsmen down to the barge crew, should make a hot pace for all competitors, for they have been looking forward with pleas- ant anticipations to this regatta for months back. The great showing the Stocktonian row- ers made at El Campo lately has endowed them with new energy. They have just received their new boat from the East, and are training morning and evening, and ex- pect to win everything in sight on the 4th. But while they are training hard up there, the boys down here are by no means idle. The South End big crew is hard at it, for it expects a hot race to keep a long string of successive victories intact. If all the other eventson the programme fall below expectations, this race will cer- tainly repay one for the journey to Stock- ton. Time was when the South Ends and Pioneers went hand-in-hand for the good of the sport, hut those good old duys are passed, and those who were once friends are now the bitterest rivals. The trouble all arose over the regatta on September 9 at Sacramento, when the Pioneers claimed to have been unjustly treated in a decision, ana ever since have been aching fora chance at the South End crew in a regatta that is not managed by the South End Club. They are now working like Trojans, getting into condition. Each man in the crew is the proud possessor of a pledge to discontinue smoking. Tne weight of the crew has been materially increased, as each man has filled out considerably since they raced Jast. The Stockton crew they know are worthy foes. Their great desire is to lower the colors of the South End crew, and it is safe to say that from the drop of the hat the hottest race ever witnessed on this coast will take place when these three crews meet to settle the much- mooted question of supremacy. The Pioneers have a clever little cox- swain now. He is George Fitzsimmons, one of the little Long Bridge wharf rats, and what he does not know about steer- ing a boat isn’t worth knowing. Pop Brennan, the Pioneer’s coach, is training the crew, and its personnel is as follows: Fred Orr, bow and captain; George Callopy, forwardwaist; Coney Ochs, afterwaist; John Cliiford, stroke, and George Fitzsimmons, coxswain. In addition to this crew, the Pioneers in- tend to send up a red-hot junior crew, and are »° work trying out three aspiring crews .0 be the club’s representatives. The following from the Ariel Club will take part in the regatta: William Me- Causland and Jim Wilson in the senior single scull event, Jim Wilson and Bob Ellis in the outrigger skiff races; and the following will compose the junior crew: ‘W. P. Prendergast, stroke; Frank Wilson, afterwaist; J. Coughlin, forwardwaist; A. Racouillat, bow; Ed Wilson, coxswain. The club intends to enlarge its boat- house soon and make it a two-story struc- ture, with a gymnasium and clubrooms on the top floor ana the boatroom on the first floor. It will also give & jinks in about two weeks. The medals won in the recent El Campo regaita will be distributed to the winners at the South End boathouse to-morrow. The occasion will be celebrated with an entertainment. Al Fritz of the South Ends, who is a | delegate from the Asscciated Improve- ment Clubs to the Golden Gate Carnival Committee, intends to lend his efforts in inducing the committee to set aside a suit- able sum for a regatia during carnival week. S. J. Pembroke, one of the most enthu- siastic oarsmen on the coast and instigator of the big Lake Merritt regatta on Wash- ington’s birthday last, over which the Oakland people became so elated, intends to do his utmost for the interests of the oarsmen in the coming carnival. On the Oakland Creek, June 27, the Ala- meda Boating and Swimming Club will hold a club regatta. The races will consist of outrigger skiff events and a barge race. Dr. Cecil Dennis and Fred Ayers will contest in the senior outrigger event. The winner will row at Stockton. 8. J. Pem- broke will also row for the club at the Steckton re: atta. he Alamedas have about eight cracka- Jack outrigger skiffmen in training, and say it will be a disappointment to them, as it will be to the other clubs, if the ju- nior untri%er skiff race at the Stockton regatta is eliminated, for a great many men are in training for it. Rowing has taken the fancy of the League of the Cross Cadets and large num- bers have already applied for membership to the South End Club. Advices state that the Olympic Club crew will not line up at Stockton in the junior race, but in all probability the Olympic senior crew will give an exhibi- tion race in their new shell. The following officer- were elected at the recent meeting of the Dolphin Club: T.J. Sullivan, president; J. B. Keenan, vice- resident; F. Staib, financial secretary; oseph Earl, recording sgi:_retlry; Peter ‘von Hadelen, sergeant-at-arms; Curly Mogan, captain; Fred Woerner, vice-cap- tain. J. Coughlin will represent the club in the senior outrigger skiff race at Stockton. He will be their only representative. meRe s THE ATHLETES. Members of the Olympic Team Who Wil Soon Go North. Captain Leonard Gill of the Olympic Club is now satisfied that he will have the pleasure of being accompanied in his trip to Oregor_l by a very strong team of ath- letes. Gill says that unless the men who will represent the Multnomah Athletic Club are of the first class, the greater part of the prizes wili be captured by the wearers of the flying 0.” It might just as well be stated now that unless the representatives of the Ol{mpic Club are in first-class trim they will meet with surprises. Robert Edgren will cer- tainly win the hammer throw and Dave Brown of Stanford should win the mile race, but other than these events Cap- ain Gill’s team will need be in the pink i ndition and qualitied to compete against :gme flub—clls;‘ athletes. The Multnomai Athletic Club people are not given much to boasting, but judeing from information recently received from the north the Olympic tesm will not have a walk over by any means, even allowing that Cap- tain Gill has a large army of good men to select from. W. C. Patterson, the athlete who broke the coast record in high jumping at the May field day by clearing 5 feet llfiinc .es, wuflm one of the team, and in all prob- ability Bert Coffin, who has a record of 5114 seconds for a quarter and 2 min. 3-5 sec. for a half, will go north also. The team will in clude Captain Gill and nine members of the Oly mpic Club. The games, which will be neld in Port- land, Or., in the latter part of this month, will be under the management of the Multnomah Athletic Club. The athlete’s farewell to the Olympian ames is thus given by the Cleveland lain Dealer: Mald of Athens, ere we part, Give, oh, give me back my heart; But if you to swap are loath, Them I'll racs you, dear, for both! It is presumed that the farewell of the Olympic Club athletes to Portland will be something like this: Mrid of Portland, ere we part, Give, oh, eive me brck my heart; But i this will no please pa, Then fare thee well, sweet Multnomah! — CRICKET CHIRPS. Digests From Forelgn Scorebook and Local Happenings. The Australians continue doing effective work against their various English op- ponents. They gained a brilhant victory over Yorkshire, at Sheffield, by an inning and 8 runs. Their contest with “An Eleven of the South,” vlayed at East- bourne, and mentioned in last week’s “Chirps,” resulted in a draw. The Middlesex and Yorkshire match, played at Lords on the 28th ult., followed its tradition of furnishing remarkable cricket. Middlesex, after playing a first inning of 384 runs, wes beaten by 10 wickets. About 10,000 people were on the ground. Surrey gained a_very easy victory over Gloucestershire, Hayward of the conquer- ing team made 153, the only century of the match. On the same day, at Lords, Somersets were beaten by Middlesexes by an inning and 101 runs. About 12,000 spectators witnessed the match. Feeble batting and yery good bowliu; apparently accounted for the triumph of Middlesex. In the Gloucestershire-Sussex match, played at Brighton, Champion W. G. Grace not only carried his bat through the Gloucestershire inning, but despite the big scores of the season, managed to make the highest by his perfectly compiled 243 runs and to beat Abel’s previous best of 231. The Surrey eleven secured their seventh win of the season at Nottinghamshire by six wickets and the match between Lan- cashire and Kent, played at Manchester, resuited in a win for Lancashire by three wickets. Hampshire had to submit to de- feat by Derbyshire by seven wickets. At Oxford the university eleven gained a brilliant victory over Somerset, winning by an inning and 107 runs. Coming to local matters I hear that Sharland, lately a cricketer of repute in Kent, has joined the Pacifics and that Sollum and Jones, ex-Mill Valley men, have attached themselves to the Califor- nia team. To-morrow the Pacifics and Californias meet at_Alameda, and the second elevens of the Pacifics and Alamedas play at Golden Gate. UMPIRE. ———— HANDBALL.
