THE FIELD What the Oarsmen, Athletes and | | one of the opening meets on the coast in | the early spring (Santa Rosa, May 2) Ter- Cyclists A The sporting feature which is creating the greatest interest just now is the com- boxing bout between Tom Sharkey and Jim Corbett. The big fellows will meet on Wednesday evening in the Pavil- ion, and if Sharkey, who spran g up mush- room like to fame, stands before the cham- pion for four rounds the friends of Corbett will be the most surprised men on earth. i-racing continues to be a popular amusement among wheelmen, but the | same cannot be said of track-raci which is rapidiy losing support becau of the ioafing system now employed by fast riders, who spurt ouly when the gong so unds for the final effort. Then a grand- stand play results, which invariably ends in a so-called excitin, Th e now ing in coast streams. grand coursing meeting under the auspices of the Interstate Club will be held to-day at Ingleside Park.

At rill’s anger was aroused by a decision of | the referee, Plummer, and he used spme uncomplimentary language to him. H was immediately fined $20 and the money was forwarded to the racing board when he paid the,fine. Mr. Gideon is delighted with the prize and never missesa chance to exhibit it to his friends and newspaper men. This is the first money ever received by the league in this way and Mr. Gideon proposes to put the amount into the trea- | sury out of his own pocket and have the | draft framed and hung in his office. John 8. Johnson is not making the suc- cess of his foreign tour that was expected of him. It goes to show that record- breaking and winning open races do not follow the same lines. Smashing records was easy work for Johnson, but he has found it impossible to beat the foreign pro- fessionals in actual races. The success of Ziegler, Terrill and Mec- Farland on the National circuit Thursaay, when they won all three professional races ip an Arkansas town, one apiece, shows what splendid form the Californians are now in. McFarland is looked upon by many as the coming man. When these three meet Bald, Cooper and Sanger there wiil be racing worth seeing. The Mountain View Cyclers bave ar- ranged a bullshead breakfast, to be given at Mayfield, Sunday, June 28, at noon, to which some of the prominent City clubs have been invited. At 1 o’clock they will hold a series of races on the road, the dis- | tances and prizes being as follows: Five-mile race, scratch, amateur—First prize, gold filled watch, value seeond prize, box of cigars, value One-third mile race, seratch, amateur, finals—First prize, shaving outfit, value $3'50; second vrize, sweater, race, scratch, amateur, lver napkin ring, value $3; second prize, set silver-plated knives and forks, value $2 50.

B. D. Bent will depart next week on a wheeling trip to Los Angeles. This trip to the south seems to have attracted quite a number of riders. Walter Crowell and Oscar Ellinghouse of the Bafk of California have but lately returned from there and E. A. Kolb of the Olympic Club got back this week. W. Henshaw Stinsor and J.

Caldwell, first | lieutenant, has been promoted to the cap- tainey, and orge E. Dixon elected to fill his old posilion as lieatenant. Har Larkin was elected secretary. Capta Caldwell has called a run for to-morrow to San Mateo by way of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Spring Valley lakes, leaving the clubhouse at 8:30 A. M. This is a very interesting ride, besides mot being too tiresome, and it should be well attended. On Sunday, June 28, the club will hold.a ten-mile road race, open only to club members. The Olympic Cyclers Wheelmen will bave a joint run by steamer to Petaltma, Friday evening, July 3, to attend the meet of the League | of American Wheelmen there. By a recent amendment to the constitu- tion of the Camera Club Cyclists, here- after only active and associate members of the California Camera Club are eligible to | membership.

To-| morrow Captain Pixley will lead the men on a blind run, leaving the club at 8 a. ». | The wheeling clubs hereabouts seem to take very little interest in the Baker & Hamilton trophyv race scheduled for Sun- day, July 12. Few men care to ride twenty nmiles under a scorebing July sun to try to win for their club a trophy which was do- nated partly because it would be a good d.” for the donors. The Garden City Cyclers bave announced th will not enter a team, and the Bay City Wheel- men feel the same way. The associated clubs, which control the running of the race, while having no con- the League of American the nection with Wheelmen, which organization, by this twenty-mile race who rode 1n ¢! on the track when that class existed. ‘This is absurd on the face of it, for if the | league has “‘whitewashed” such men and | restored their amateur standing, what | Clubs to say that they are not pure ama- teurs? The rule shuts out the best men on the coast to-day, lessens the interests of the big clubs, and the chances are the B. & H. trophy race will be a very tame affair, thanks to the Oakland delegates to the Associated Clubs, who put the motion through. Tuereis some talk of a special moon- licht run of the clubs belonging to the as- ociation, to Sutro’s Baths some evening next month, and arrangements are now being made with that end in view. It would be a novelty ana probably would prove a very enjoyable cuting. The proposed indoor tournament at Sac- ramento, July 23, 24 and 25, will attract a State. The programme as arranged will be about as follows: Thursda half ¥, 23—One-mile open, amatenr; one- le handicap, smatenr; one-half ‘mile | jue-mile handicap, profes- | 24—One-mile handicap, smateur; rier mile scratch, amateur; two-mile fessional; cne-mile Mandicap, pro- onal.

Bi ders should learn to adjust properly. One of the great- est_inconveniences connected with cycle- riding is the difficulty experienced in find- ing a comfortable sitting posture. The saddle may be too high or it may not be nigh enough. If the saddle inconven- iences you the only thing to do is to ex- periment with it until it fits, and then do not change it under any circumstances. The Olvmpic Club Wheelmen, Garden City Cyclers and Sunta Rosa Wheelmen will have a joint club run to San Mateo Sunday, Jone 28, the Oiympics being the hosts. The Olympics will run off their five-mile road race there before lunch, and Coffroth of the Olympic Cyeclers will make the trip in July. V. A. Dodd, captain of the Alameda Cyelers, has been appointed on the roud- racing and records committee of the Asso- ciated Clubs, vice Henry F. Wynne, resigned. What has become of the Cycle Baseball League, about which we have heard so much and yet so little? Perhaps ourfriend Raviin of the Chronicle can tell He ar- ranged the dates and schedule of games, but most of the dates have passed and none of the games bave yet been played. The proposed northwestern and coast racing circuit will probably be about the same. It is a case of much ado about nothing. The entries for the league meet races at Petaluma on July 4 close next Friday evening, and it wiil be well for riders to send their blanks in early and thus aid the handicapper. The meet promises to be a big success and is receiving hearty support. If the Petaluma wheelmen will awake from their lethargy now and ap- point a live press committee and arrange a tandem race and some other little de- tails they will have things about right. - SPALDING. —_— GUN AND DOG. How Canvasbacks Are Lured by Dancing Decoys—Club Shoots. The Alameda Sportsman’s Club and Lincoln and Reliance Gun clubs will meet, this afternoon at the Webster-street grounds. Some good scores will surely be made at artificial bluerocks. The Placerville Gun Club will hold a blue- rock tournament to-morrow in Placerville. Some of the crack shots of this City will take part in the smashing of the clays. Thomas H. Brown, the well-known St. Bernard fancier and member of the S Bernard Club, has received from the East a magnificent specimen of the Hospice dog. The new arrival won second prize at the New York bench show of this year, and will prove a valuable acguisition to the St. Bernard interests of this coast. Asall svortsmen who have a predilec- tion for duck-shooting are aware that the royal canvasback of the far North is a most cunning bird at times the following interesting letter from a Portland (Or.) sportsman will prove assuredly interesting to many. The writer says that on calm days a ‘‘jigger” must be used to insure good shooting, and he explains what a “jigger” is in this wise: One day while journeying to our hunting- grounds a discussion arose as to ducks and the various methods of alluring them. From Mr. Scoggins, who, by the way, 18 one of the most successful canvasback-shooters of the North- west, 1 learned of the *‘jigger.”” Drawing from his pocket a bundle of string and rubber bands, he explsined that by their use he fre- quenily turned defeat into vietory.. “When the water is placid,” said he “the birds will not decoy, for, seeing so many decoys sitting motionless, suspicion enters their heads. Why, 1 have seen birds make a dash at decoys, aud when they noticed the entire absence of motion go off with appar>nt fright. When the wind 1ails me I wade out among the decoys and fix a strong stick :nto the mud and beneath the surface of the water. To this I attach a couple of these rubber bands and to these & good,strong string that will “Wheelman"” | [4o0n the Stockton channel, both among more than reach to the blind. At intervals along this string I attach about three decoys, aud & gentle pull on tize shore end of the line | will cause the counterfeits to* dance merrily. | One canso tie the decoys that when jerked ther appear to be diving and jeeding, and the | iayee canselshy thetr antics keep, the entire s$tool in ge'tle motion, ruffling the water for | quite a distance. Should I fail to havearub- | ber band with me I get a stroug but elastic | stick and fasten the string directly to it. This does nearly as well as the rubbers, and I some- | times like it better.” | several of the market hunters of this | State have used the *‘jigger’ with telling | success in the mashes tuat margin the | Sacramento River. | The sportsmen of the old countries are | thoroughly familiar with the many tricks | which a fox resorts to to avoid annoyance 1 and trouble. Foxes are bothered with fleas as well as other animals, and when the fleas become two numerous for his com- fort he easily rids bimself of all or most in an ingenious manner. With a piece of | moss held between his incisors he walks with deliberation into the shallow water | of a stream or river, his “lodgers’ all the while hustling up higher so as to keep out | of the wet when he praceeds: further into the stream. At last only his head is above water, and it becomes a case of ‘‘standing room only” with his friends, the enemy. | Then, standing with his snarp muzzie pointed downsiream, he sits down, gradu- | ally immersing his head until only the bunch of moss is high and dry. When the | unwelcome tribe has crowded upon the bunch of moss the fox opens its jaws, and | the infested islana floats off down the | stream. | A SR COURSING. Grand Sport Is Promised at Ingle- slde Park To-Day. The Interstate Coursing Club has issued very neat invitations for its “‘ladies’ day | | meeting,” which will be held this after- noon at Ingleside Park. Coursing will commence sharp at 1:30 o’clock and the committee in charge is in hopes that all lovers of the grand old sport will be on hand promptly to see the first brace of dogs enter the slips, as consider- able money is wagered on the inaugural race of the day. The Mission-sreet elec- tric cars will convey passengers to the grounds. According to the drawing which took place on Thursday evening last great rac- ing should certainly result, as the fastest and best-bred dogsin the State are entered in this particular event. It is hardly necessary to remark that Dalton’s hares are runners of the old school. The races of last Sunday proved | beyond questionthat the hares of Ingle- | side Park are superior as long-distance | runners to any of the Merced stock that | have been imported and raced by grey- | hounds within the fenced grounds.” Man- ager Dalton atiributes his success in tnis particular to his method of feeding the | su;f' little short tails. ares, he contends, are like racehorses. | They must be carefully looked after and | fed regularly on food that will harden | them for long and grueling courses, | The Interstote Club meeting of to-day | will certainly be witnessed by & larze gath- | ering of ladies and gentlemen. Of course, | owing to the fact that alarge number of sportsmen Whose principal outdoor amuse- | ment is witnessing sharp and spirited dashes between the long and shorttail fliers cannot leave their work to see the | Alameda crew the use of their old boat on | the day of the race. | The make-up of the Alameda crew is as follows: Webb, bow and ecaptain; Fred Avers, forwardwaist; J. Hanson, afterwaist; A. Hancock, stroke, and | Thomas Guilfeather, cockswain. This will be the first four-oared crew | that the Alameda Club has entered in a regatta for many vears. The Olympic and Dolphin clubs will make no entries in this event, and the | crew from the Stockton Athletic Associa- | tion will be as ‘appended: Henry Backe, C. Strother, Will Folger and Joe Foley. In the senior single-scu'l event the fol- lowing will line up: William McCausland and Henry Wittkopi of the Ariel Boat Club, Frank Duplissea of the South End Club, and Al %rown and Louis Gio- !vpnesss of the Stockton Athletic Associa- ion. Henry Wittkopf 1s training bard for the senior event and rows about ten miles daily, going out mornings and afternoons. He hasn’t sat in a boat since lust Fourth of July, and there are many who think he will never regain his old-time form; at any rate he don’t row anything like he used to, and unless he gets in shape quickly it will be a case of a good sculler fallen into ob:curity. Young Frank Duplissea, the South End’s pride and champion stroke oar of the coast, feels his defeat in the El Campo refaua very keenly. n_the senior outrigger skiff events at the Stockton races will be entered Samuel J. Pembroke, Dr. Cecil Dennis and Fred Ayers of the Alameda Club, Bob Ellis and Jim Wilson of the Ariel Club and Jack Coughlin of the Dolphins. The Stocktons, South Ends, Pioneers and Olympics will make no entries in this event, as they-have no outrigger-skiff. A junior outrigger skiff race is down on the programme for the Stockton regatta, and many are training for it, but no entries have been made thus far. A launchrace will also take place, and in this tue Ariel Boat Club of this City will undoubtedly make a great showing. Eugene J. Flanders, the club’s secretary and champion gormandizer, has just con- structed a launch that will show a speedy "pair of heels to any boat of her size on the bay, and while she is his individual prop- erty, the members of the Ariel Ciub take as much interest in her as if she belonged to the club. A larce crowd of the club members and vacationed letter-carriers have iust left on the launch for a two weeks' so- | journ up the river. They intend visiting Stockton, Sacramento and other points. The boat is undoubtedly one of the fin- est of her kind on the bay. She is thirty- five feet long. seven feet beam and three feet six inches deep. Its engine was built at Grand Rapids, Mich., is a twelve-horsepower and only stands three feet high, is brass finished throughout and can turn the propeller to 432 revolutions a minute. The flywheel is twenty inches in diam- eterand weighs 270 pounds and no turning of it by hand is mecessary, as is the case with the majority of gasoline engines be- fore they can be started. The engine is placed in the after part of the boat and the gasoline tank is forward. This eliminates any ballasi being carried to make the boat set properly in the water, as is the case with otuer launcnes. The boat was built by the American Boat-building Company of St. Louis and was shipped out here in parts. An attractive cabin tnree feet high and | sport of to-day, it is not expected that the | gathering at Ingleside will be as large as | if the meeting was held on Sunday. How- | | ever, a grand day’s sport is promised all lovers of the leash who will be in attend- ance. The following report apveared recently in the American Fiela: It will be welcome news to all having the | welinre of coursing et heart to know that W. C. Peyton and J. H. Rosseter have been elected by the Interstate Coursing Club as its repre- sentatives on the American Coursing Board, | This is cause for congratulation ali round. | Furthermore, the president ¢f the board has | appointed these two gentlemen a committee to sct upon California cases, in which they will take testimony and report to the board. J. Herbert Watson has been working for some time to bring this about, and we heartily con- gratulate him upon its consummation. The meetings of the Interstate Coursing Club are, of course, run under the American Coursing Bonard’s rules, though some minor alterations may be allowed in order to suit circumstances out there. Messrs. Peyton and Rosseter are un- questionablv the right men in the right | place, because they have the interest of | the sport at heart and have been always | untiring in their efforts to wash “‘inclose coursing of a stain it held for years in this | City.

Names and Crews of the Clubs En- tered for the Stockton Regatta. | Things are rapidly assuming proportions for the Stockton regatta to be held on July the local boat clubs and the Svockton Athletic Association, under whose aus- pices the affair is to be held. The races will commence promptly at 10 o’clock and the programme of events with the corrected entries up to date are as fol- lows: > Scnior four-oared barge, South End Club—Henry Bode, bow; Bob McArthur, forwardwaist and captain; Gus Carson, afterwaist; Frank Duplissea, stroke, and Georee McGrill, cockswain. Pioneer Rowing Club—Fred Orr, bow and captain; Coney Ochs, forwardwaist; George Colloky, afterwaist; John Clifford, stroke, and George Fitzsimmons cock- swain. Stockton Athletic Association—Carkeek, bow; Spencer, forwardwaist; Swift, after- waist; Davis, stroke, and Doc Flynn, cockswain. B ' In the junior four-oared barge the South End Club will, in all probability, enter the same crew that made such a good showing agninst the Stockton giants at the recent | Ei Campo regatta. . The personnel of the crew is as follows: | Al Fritz, bow and captain; Mat Breen, forwardwaist; James Pallas, afterwaist; | Ed Secully, stroke and George McGrill, cockwain, The Pioneers have two crews in training for this event, and a try-out race will be beld some evening during the week, and the winners will go to Stockton. The crews that will race in_trial are as follows: R. Collopy, stroke; Ed Faulkner, afterwaist; Phil Tuits, forwardwaist; W. St. John, bow and captain, and George Fitzsimmons, cockswain. The second crew is made up of: W. Espy, stroke; J. Kluuder, afterwaist; M. Callan, forward wai T. Sands, bow and captain, and “Doc” Flynn, cockswain, The Ariel Club will have no entry in this event or in the senior event. A crew had been in trainiug for the junior race, but for some reason it has been dis- banded. The Alameda Boat Club will crew in the junior event if the Athletic Association will tender it the use of its old racing barge. .

Corbett and Mitchell punched straight from the shoulder, and, of course, they in- variably landed, while the swinging blows | of their opponents reached only about half-way on their journey to face or body. Corbett proved, in his battle with Sulli- van, that a straicht-arm punch, although probabiy not as dangerous or as effective as a swinging blow, is in the long run the winning styie. Jackson proved the same thing in his fight with Paddy Slavin who, by the way, is relegated to_the shelf if the result of his fight with Peter Maher on Thursday night is to be taken as a hneK on his present fighting ability, | Apropos of the once great fighter Slavin, ‘} Jim Corbett's old trainer, Billv Delaney, | recently received a letter from old Jem | Mace, who is now 65 vears o'd, which stated that before Slavin’s departure from the land of good old roast beef and stout, Mace put on the gloves with Paddy, and was surprised to find him such an easy mark to hit. The letter terminated with a “P. 8.,” in which the old English champion said: “Billy, on the dead, Slavin is a gone | goose. He can’t fight any more, and, if Maher is any good, he will certainly put it | on him.” Corbett should certainly whip Sharkey. The only chance the sailor has of winifing public favor is to mix it #p with Jim, and, instead of Corbett chasing Sharkey, the latter’s only hope is to chase Corbett, and—*catch him if be can.” The following letter from a Stockton correspondent is self-explanatory : The boxing exhibition of the Stockton Athletic Association was the best thing of its kind that has been seen in th's city since the palmy days of boxing when Charles Turner was in his prime and de- Every seat in the big gymnasium had been sold long before the opening of the doors. The first event was not announced until after 9 o'clock, and before that time nearly every seat was occupied. Biliy Armstrong acted as master of ceremonies and announced that the first event of the evenine would be a two-round bout be- tween Billy Scott, a colored boy, and Billy McMahon. The contest was for points and lasted two rounds. Scott donned blackened gloves and McMahon fought with a pair dipped in chaik. The first round was a hot one and, while the white boy landed more blows than his opponent, Scott had him covered with soot before the round ended. The second round was a repetition | of the first and caused much merriment | among the spectators. Armstrong de- clared the bout a draw. Armstrong | next introduced Danny Mahovney and Joe ! Sullivan, both well known in their class. The event was to be a six-round contest | ing up to within a week or so ago and it was promised that the decision would be given to the man who did the | most aggressive wock and made the most points. ~ Mahoney certainly scored the | most points, but the contest was declared a draw by Referee McCreedy. The event of the evening was a 10-round g0 between Ben Lewis, a colored lad, and | Jim Lawlor. Both weighed in at 125 pounds. The contest was declared a draw, al- ing was done by Lawlor.

All in all she is the most ‘improved launch at present on the bay, and some- thing the Ariel Club and Mr. Flanders can be proud of. She is expected to make irom thirteen to fifteen miles an hour, burning a gallon of gasoline hourly. Johnson, the champion senior single sculler of Britisk Coiumbia, has sent a challenge to William McCausland, the chamuvion of the Pacific Coast. to row him amileand a half straight-way race for a trophy. Johnson is a member of the Birds’ Inlet Rowing Club, and the race is to take place at the Victoria regatta. McCausland’s expenses will be paid. and if victorious on the Fourth of Juiy he says he will accept the challenge. The following letter is selt-explanatory: June 19, 1896. Editor Call—-DEAR SIR: Will you please state in your boating column of to-morrow’s paper that the Stockton regatta committee will offer gold and silver medals, first and second prizes, for junior outrigger skiff race. The Alameda Boat Club will enter two men: two more are wanted to insure the race. Those intendine to enter sbould communicate at once with 8. J. Pembroke, 205 Powell street, as it is necessary to guarantee four boats to secure the race. Yours truly, S. J. PEMBROKE. e THE RING. Stralght-Arm , and Round-Arm Flghters—Slavin’s Downfall. James J. Corbett—our Jim—and Tom Bharkey, the pride of the American navy, will shake hands and exchange punches at the Payilion on Wednesday evening. Sharkey is unquestionabiy a magnificent specimen of the athlete who scores suc- cesses on the padded floor in Grezco- Roman or catch-as-catch-can wrestling, but for fighting under the established rules of the present day Thomas, in the language of the judges of dogflesh, is alto- gether too stocky. Years ago when fighters battled under the rules of the London prize ring, men of Sharkey’s caliber proved very successful because they were possessed of brute strength and endurance, qualifications | which were deemed quite necessary, by the way, to guarantee a successful ending. True, John L. Sullivan, when in his prime, was a big husky feliow, but el- though powerful and savage when in front of an adversary he was as active as a cat, and generally used pretty good judg- ment when striking at an opponent. He whipped all of his men in quick or- der, as a rule, but readers must not lose sight of the fact that the fighters who fell before his powerful blows were slow, yes, very slow, when compared with the cham- pions of the present day. Corbett and Mitchell were the only pugi- lists Sullivan faced who puzzled the ex- champion. There are men living who haa witnessed the great international prize-ring battle in France between Sulli- van and Mitchell. They do not hesitate to say that Mitenell bad Sullivan under his thumb at one stage of the game and would have whipped him had it not been for a large amount of money Pony Moore—Mitchell’s father-in-law—received with the .under- standing that the match be declared a draw, and so it resulted. Be that as it may, Mitchell made a great stand against the big and powerful Sulliyan, who, owing to his great weight, sunk deep in the mud and was consequently heavily racing boat, they will doubtiess give the handicapped in this particular. Kilrain, Ryan, Cardiff and all the other voted the exhibition the best that has been given here in year: Jonx CrazG. e THE ANGLERS.

Owing to the late season of rains several good-sized trout havi dodg: rs an angler must empioy all the cunning and skill that is known only to men of experience. Reports have been received from several quarters thai there are no fish in the streams. Those reports come from the inexperienced anglers, who have much to | learn of the art of catching trout when the fishes have grown-to be wise and cau- tious. It was only of recent date that a well-known disciple of the craft returned from Lagunitas Creek with a basket that was fairly well filled with trout of good size. He said that there were at least a | dozen stream-slashers who were i1n ad- | vance of him, but at the end of the jour- ney, when baskets were compared, the | expert, with pardonable pride, exhibited a | creel of good-sized fish, much to the aston- ishment and disgust of his brother anglers, whose baskets contained only fingerlings. Explanations followed and the experi- enced angler gave his iriends a bit of ad- vice. He said: Remember, boys, that you represent a pretty good sized object when tramping fn a stream. A trout in clear water is as shy as any fox that ever lived, and once a denizen of a deep 1 catches your shadow on the water the j&o?n up with you.
