10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1896. 1HE FIELD OF SPORT. What the Oarsmen, Athletes and Cyclists Are Doing. In wheeling the great event of the sea- son will be brought off to-day at Peta- | luma. As will be seen by reference to the cyeling columns thousands of geuple are expected to be present to witness the great racing eyents, and, as an exceeding- ly warm day is promised, all lovers of lemonade will bt in the swim. The pastimes of to-day consist of base- ball at the Presidio and Folsom-street grounds, coursing at Ocean View, anfic Inanimate Target Association shooting contests at Alameda Point, cricket at Ala- i meda, lawn tennis tournament at San Rafael, handball in the professional pall courts and yachting on the bay. THE WHEELMEN. Annual Division Meetof the League at Petaluma To-Day. The annual meet of tha North Califor- | nia Division of the League of American | Wheelmen will be Leld to-day and to- . morrow at Petaluma, and wheelmen from all over the State have assembled at that point to join ih the celebration. A ball, parade, races, country run and barbecue | are some of the features of the meet, to | all of which league members are given free admission. . Of these features proba- bly the most interest attaches to the races, which will be held on the Petaluma Wheelmen's new four-lap track, which has already earned a reputation for speed and safety. The best riders in the State are entered in the different events, and the contests should be close and exciting. The handicapping has been done by Rob- ert Assheton Smyth, official handicapper of the league, In his usual impartial { A great many of the men went up | last night on the 5:10 o’clock Tiburon boat | and train. The party was that. ar- ranged by the Bay City Wheelmen and managed by Acting Captain George E. Dixon. They chartered the steamer Go! which left Jackson-street wharf at 5 o'clock, laden down with Bay Wheelmen, San Francisco Road Club members, Olympic Cyclers, bicycles, music and lunch, and they were having a most Jjolly time as they left the wharf. The steamer | makes the run in about five or six hours. | They will remain until Sunday and return | that afternoon by wheel. | Those who did not o to Petaluma ves- terday will bave to take the early boat this morning, which leaves the Tiburon slip at 7:30 o’clock, to reach there in time for all the festivities. To accomodate those who desire to return to this City to-night a spe- cial train will leave Petaiuma at9p. M., reaching here in about two hours. The retaluma wheelmen have com- pleted ail arrangements jor the big meet, and it promises to be the best affair of the kind ever held on the coast. The support they have received irom the city clubs has given them confidence right along, for they knew that if ail the San Francisco clubs attended the meet, that alone would make it a success, and Petaluma itself, always loyal to the home club, will turn | out all her citizens to help crowd the grounds and cheer the winners of the races. The cycling writers of the San Francisco papers are curious to see the Petaluma track’s press stand, and they will have the opportunity to-d: One of the riders who is there training writes me to be sure and come up Saturday, and closes his letter in the following siangy but expres- sive way, *“You won’t be a thing but glad when you see the press stand here; it's a | peach.” The leagne meet over, the wheelmen’s attention will next be directed to the twenty-mile road race of the California Associated Cycling Clubs, which takes place Sunday, July 12, over the San Lean- dro triangle. The entries close next Tues- day night. There are to be teams of five men from each club. The Garden City Cyclers and Bay City Wheelmen will not enter the race, and it will probably be won by the Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland, as the rules of the race provide that the riders must be pure amateurs, not even | class B men of last year whom the league has restored to amateurism, and the Acme | Club bas the most and best men on the coast, when the line is drawn so fine. The Imperial Cycling Ciub goes to Peta- luma this morning by the 7:30 boat, to take part in the big cycle parade there. The club also bas a number of good riders entered in the races. In the postal notice | to members the secretary adds the follow- ing: This is the annual L. A. W. meet and L. A. ‘W. members will be admitted to the races free on presentation of membership ticket. At Petaluma we will dine at the L. A. W. hotel, and your membership card will entitle you to a reduction. It is to your interest and also to that of the club to join the L. A. W.; the an- nual election is near at hand and our club should be represented on the new board. The | initiation free is $1 and the annual dues §1, which is a very trivial expense considering | the many advautages derived. ! The regular meeting of the Imperials will be held next Monday evening. The initiation fee to the club is now §5. An Imperial Club paper called the Announcer | has been started by Edwards & Magary, members of the club. The first number will appear July 15. It will be devoted largely to Imperial Club items in addition | to general cycling news. Colonel Albert A. Pope, president, and A. E. Pattison, secretary of the Pope Manufacturing Company, sailed for Eu- rope July 1, and will be absent several months. The Pacific Cycling Club will have a run to Boulder Creek during the Fourth of July holidays. The start will be made this morning at 4 o'clock and they will stop to-nignt at Congress Springs.” To-. morrow they will ride to Boulder Creek -and return by train 1n the afternoon. There are tw¥o Masonic cycling clubs in the United States; one is the Orion Cycle Club of Brooklyn, N. Y.; the other is the Lu Lu Wheelmen oi Philadelphia, com- pored of the Mystic Shrine, which was or- garized in August, 1891, and for a long time had the honor of being the only league club in the city. Charles A. Elliot, one of the charter members of the Bay City Wheelmen, was married recently o Miss Smith of Stock- ton and is now receiving tbe congratula- tions of his friends and fellow members, In those good old cycling days when a rider (we all rode ordinaries then) knew versonally every other rider in the City and the make of his wheel (there were only two or three different styles), Eiliot was one of the most enthusiastic riders and took many long country trips in com- pany with Steve Knapp, ‘Billy Meeker, Ralph Thompson, Billy McClure, Fred Allan, Porter Libby, Robert M. Welch, Frank James, the writer and others, some of whose names gou seldom hear of in cycling affairs nowadays. The California Cycling Clap is going to bid for the prizes offered in ‘the parade at Petaluma to-day; and Lieutenant Reid, in the absence of Captain Mayo, will take up | alarge number of the members on the early train. At the regular meeting next Monday night the prizes won in the club’s recent road race will be distributed. There is almost as much rivalry between. | Ziegler and Cooper upon the National circuit as between Cooper and Bald. At New Orleans on June 13 Ziegler broke the world’s record for a half mile in competi-: tion, winning the racein 1:00 4-5. Nothing would do but Cooper must have that record, and he saved his best efforts for balf-mile events. He did not have to wait long, for at Utica, N. Y., on the 17th he {found a fast track and speedy competitors, and to win the race be had to ride it in record time, :59 35, its Ziegler's turn now. Edwin E.

Wheelmen will start in a few dayson a business trip to Mexico, and will be gone about three months. He will take his wheel with him, and may do some riding. The racing board has issucd its bulletin, No. 17, dated July 3, 1896, as follows: Sanctions granted—July 3, A.

The annual picnic run of the California Associated Cycling clubs will be held on Sunday, July 19, at Coyote Point Beach, The.run will start from Twenty-second and Folsom streets at9o'clock A. M. Lunch is to be furnished by each of the ciubs attending, and will be carted to the grounds free by the associa- tion. There is a fine grove of trees on the picnic grounds, and an elegant bathhouse near by, and the prospects of a salt water swim aifter the ride will tempt many on the run. A large crowd is expected. Saniord Plummer, official referee for this district, bas been ill for a week past and may not be well enough to officiate at the races at Petaluma to-day. if not Mr. Welch of the racing board will take charge. There is no choice between the two gentie- men as referees; both are equally good. Ray Macdonaid, who came here with the Columbia team early in 1895 as a team- mate of Eddie Bald, but could not ride owing to ill health, made many warm friends during his visit to this coast. It will be a great surprise to them to learn that Macdonald was married on February York. The wedding has just been an- nounced in New York and has surprised his friends there mightily. The news was conveyed to me in a personal letter to a friend. Macdonald has been on the Conti- nent during the past two months, racing with the foreign professionals, and has Heis now on his wav home, and will compete during the rest of the season on the National cir- cuit. The members of the.Golden Gate Cy- cling Ciub enjoyed a splenaid run to May- field last Sunday. Tuesday evening the officers tendered the members an informal reception and banquet after the usual weekly business meeting. The club is adding to its roll every week. George Hale and H. Sadke were admitted at the last meeting. The five-mile road race of the club will be held in a few weeks, and the men are now training for the event. Thus far Captain J. Black has shown the most speed, and bids fair to become a very fast rider with proper training. There will be about twenty-five entrants in the road race. Riders possessing a due regard for the rights and privileges of pedestrians never clang their bells unnecessarily. It is suf- ficient for the careful, observing cyclist to give timely warning only, not to ring his alarm after the occasion "has passed, or in a hysterical manner when it is too late. The wheeling critics of the larger cities can best comprehend this statement. Take New York for instance. Green cy- clist run down pedestrians almost daily there, and in nine cases out of ten it de- velops that the rider rang too late, forgot to do it, or did it when too far away for his victim to note the warning. Common- sense will dictate when to ring and when not to ring. Coasting on bicycles promises to grow in popularity everywhereas a meansor diver- sion. Club contests are now ail the rage in the Empire State, prizes being offered as in a race. The iat man hasa chance with his lean friend in this sort ot a con- test, which accounts in part for its measure of success. It is often the case that a coasting competition forms the feature of A long hiil is chosen, the straighter the better, and the entrant that goes the furthest without removing his feet from the coasters or sculling (moving the forward wheel to the rightand left) wins first prize. Probably the biggest coasting event ever held will be that now being promoted by the Metropolitan As- sociation of Cycling Clubs of New York City. It will take ilnce August 15 on one of the hills on the Irvington-Milburn course in Jersey, made famous by the 5rut handicap held there annually on ecoration day. When the associated clubs] gave their ten-mile road race last October, and there were ninety-six entrants from the twenty- three different clubs belonging to the asso- ciation, every one remarked about the big entry list; and it was big, and considerable difficulty was found in correctly placinz the men and computing the timesat the finish, Under these circumstances the news that the South Side Cycling Club of Chicago is to hold an open road-race to- day for which there are over 500 entries is rather astonishing. And the clubs and papers don’t seem to think much of it either. The race is to be held over the famous course to Pullman. I wonder how Mr. Wetmore or Captain Strong wouid like to take the times of such a race as that, and how Charley Adams or Judge Kerrigan would enjoy officiating as judges. It must require about a hundred scorers. A number of members of the San Fran- cisco Road Club went to Petaluma last night, and the balance will follow this morning, taking the 7:30 Tiburon boat. The San Franciscos will stand a good chance of winning a prize in the cycle parade there. George P. Wetmore, Edwin E. Stoddard, Henry L. Day, Thomas 8. H Captain George P. Calawell, Fred L. Day and A. J. Menne of the Bay City Wheelmen are camping at La Honda for the holidays. SPaLDING. SR THE ANGLER. Sportsmen Who Have Left This City for the Trout Streams. Carey Friedlander, Alexander Hamil- ton, president of the Country Club, and a & party of sportsmen left this City last evening for Boca. The expert flycasters will whip the Truckee River to-day and to-morrow, and as they are well supplied with Henry Skinner’s best killing trout flies, it is presumed that they will land in this City Monday morning with baskets well filled with beautiful rainbows. John H. Grindley and wife are rusticat- ing at Independence Lake. Mr. Grindley is, without question, one of the most ex- rt lake fishermen on earth, and as Jack ammi has “posted” him on the ways and means of catching cut-throat trout, the ex- press company wili doubtless nave its hands full delivering packages of fish in this City to many friends of the “flowery’’ Grindley. Alexander McCord, Jokn Lemmer, John Berces and a friend who pretends to be a fly-caster, visited San Andreas Lake last Thursday. . Fishing was first class and the nglers had very little difficulty in filling their baskets with steelheads. Mr. Me. Cord, whotglot enthusiastic over the sport of fly-casting, has left an order with a rominent rod-maker fora first-class rod or fly-mn.(nfi.l Sufficient to say that Mr. McCord “with his black gnat flies” dis- counted a g:nuem-n of the party who boasted of being the only member who could cast a fly properly. W. P. Fuller. nk Faller, Stratton and Jack McGlynn left last even- ing for a few weeks’ oufinsln the country. The party will camp at Gravely Valley, which is & good l;lme and fishing section, near the south fork of the Eel Ruver, in Mendocino County. Dr. McKenzie ‘and family and Mrs. Timothy Hopkins left this City last ‘Wednesday for Soda Springs, where good trout fishing is now to be had. H. Battu and a friend bad u very excel- lent day’s trout fishing on Alameda Creek near the confluence of the Calaveras Creek last Sunday. Mr. Battu had two fish among those caught that scaled one and one and a balf pounds respectively. Captain Goorge Cumming recently "left this City for some black bass fishing in the Russian River near Duncan’s Mills. The Captain will leave this City for Lake In- dependence when he returns from the bass waters. Charley Green will visit the Rus- sian River to-day. Ed Bosqui has just returned from Eureka, Humboldt “County. He states that the net fishermen are now catching large quantities of young steelheads near the mouth of Eel River. Edward Kolb, the all-round sportsman and athlete, left here last Wednesday with Genera! Dickinson for an outing north of Ukiah. The sportsmen will camp in the vicinity of John Day’s resort, at the head- waters of the Eel River. Mr. Kolb is au- thority for the statement that wild sheep with antlers are very plentiful in the vicinity oi the camping ground. L. Miller and Edward Shadd basketed a very nice ot of trout last Sunday. They fished the Lagunitas Creek at night and report that the large fish cannot be taken after sunrise. The Fiy-casting Club will hold its next meeting at Stowe Lake on the afternoon of the 11th inst. Last Sunday the following anglers en- joyed a most successful outing on Sau Andreas Lake: P. Quinlan and party, W. Whelan, Al Smith, H. P. Terry, Bob Tag- lor, J. Butler, C. Precht, J. Meyers and £. J. Bates. It is thought that there will be at least fifty rods on the lake to-morrow. In alfew weeks the trout will grow wise and wary and will not act as foolish as they do now. Experience teaches even trout. The following interesting article on salmon and salmon-fishing was published in an Eastern exchange. fi'he writer says: The question of the fish taking the fly as food does not (as it seems to me to be correct) enter into the problem. In trying to learn whether the salmon partakes of food after it enters fresh water I have examined the digestive organs of about fiity salmon without finding anything whatever in them. Two views have been well set forth by Mr. Hallock in his Salmon Fisher, and by J. Parker Whitney, and a short recital mAay not be amiss. Mr. Hallock says: “The sole purpose of the ‘spring run’ of the salmon in entering the rivers is for the object of feeding. Barp fishing was the primitive method of killing salmon.” About the use of the fly Mr. Hallock regards it as an affectation which had its origin among gentlemen sports- men who deemed it as more consistent with higher ideas of sport than baited hooks. The first anglers on this side for salmon were British officers who affected only high artin killing the salmon. As the salmon is salleged to have the power to disgorge food from the stomach Mr. Hallock thinks this is the reason :'ll.‘ly(;‘(, food is found after the first has been illed. Mr. Whitney says that the salmon upon en- tering fresh water ceases to partake of food, and the gullet, stomach and digestive organs shrink or diminish so that it isevident they are not employed to discharge their normal functions; in “the intervals between its en- trance into fresh water and return to salt water the saimon is sustained by the enormous amount of fat which is stored in its body. These views, so briefly summarized, are the re- sult of much patient labor and investigation. Yet, a gentieman on the Newfoundland const told me that he had seen a mouse which must have been swallowed while swimming taken out of & salmon’s stomach, and the story was credibly verified, and these instances can be multiplied. I believe, however, that the in- stances only exist where the fish has swailowed the food in salt water. It is certain that the salmon will take the fly on the entn or fif- teenth cast, sometimes more, and how can this be reconciled with the food theory ? I have seen the salmon lie in the pools, and have failed to rise them after untiring exer- tions and aimost endless patience. I have noted where the salmon were lying, cast five or six times, changea the fly, repeated my cast- ing, waited & quarier or half an hour, cast g changed to the first fly, and finaily got that salmon after three hours’ work. It is fairly agreed that if the salmon rises, and misses the fly or is not stabbed by the fisherman, it is im- possible to get that fish to rise without a change of flies. And. again, anglers are united ia saying that after you rise the salmon you should at once stop casting, reel in your line, and allow the fish at least the time it takes to smoke your pipe, freshly filied and deliber- ately smoked, or a Havana cigar, or if, like me—unfortunate one—you have never lesrned to_sppreciate tobacco, then let at least ten minutes pass into nothingness before you make another cast. =i AR AMATEUR ATHLETICS. What Captain Gill Has to Say Con- cerning the Olympics at Portland. Leonard Gill, the captain of the Olym- pic Club team, which recently returned from Portland, Or., has addressed the fol- lowing letter to THE CALL, giving a de- scriptive account of the races, together with some pertinent stalements as to the treatment his team received from the offi- cers of the Multnowah Athletic Club. Gill speaks the truth when he states that the Olympic Club should give closer attention to outdoor athletics and better encouragement to its athletes. Some few years ago the Olympic colors were always in the lead at field day meetings. The Stanford and Berkeley University ath- letes were then satistied to play & good second fiddle to the athletes of the famous Western athletic club. But time has wrought many changes in the athletic way, and now the Olympic Club must be satisfied to play third fiddle to Stanford and Berxeley. The question now propounded by the lovers of athletic sport is when will the Olympic Club awake from its slumbers and make itself felt, athletically, among the great clubs that are springing up, mushroom-like, all over the land ? Gills’ letter: The trip of the Olympic Club athletes to Portland, Or., demonstrated one thing, and that is the Pacific Northwest is further ad- vanced in out-door athletics than it has been given credit for. The Olympics met the Multnomah athletes on track and field on Saturday, June 27, in thirteen events, and were de{yned by the score of 57 to 44, five points going to a first and three points to a second. A great deal hes been said in regard to the treatment of the Olympians, and a few words at the present time published in THE CALL'S sporting department would not be amiss. The grounds of the Mulitonamahs are situated within ten minutes’ walk from the business heart of the city of Portland, and are some- what lerger than the Olympic Club grounds, and are much betier situated for athletic sports than the home grounds. The track is five and a half laps to the mile, along the side. d accommodates about 1500 seople. which was filled to qverflowing on the ate of the Olympic-Muitomah games, and it was the most enthusiastic one the writer ever saw. The day was everthing that could have been desired, warm and pleasant, with not a breath of air stirring. The first event on the programme was called at prumsuv 3P M., the time advertised, and it found Kerrigan, the Northwest crackerjack, and Patterson, the pride of the Olympic Club, pitted againsteach other. The jumping Jlace was directlr in iront of the grandstand, with no fence in be- tween, which gave the spectators an unob- structed view of the field sporis. Owing to the importance of the different events, but one Was put on at a time. The bar was speedily raised to the 6-foot mark, which both men cleared without a fault —wonaerful jum Infi. When the bar was placed at 6 foot 2 inches, Patterson leading off nocked it down with his shoulder the crowd 1n the stand showing its approval of the same by lond cheering. Kerrigan then tried it, with the same result. This made honors even. Patterson again led off,with the same result. In justice to Patterson, it must be said, that two days before the games he re-injured his jumping foot, which at this stage of ihe game wes causing him considerable trouble. Kerri- gan walked about fifteen yards from the bar, ran nimbly at it and cleared it in the most graceful manner, though he had nothing to epare. The audience about this time was very jubi- lant, as Patterson had but one more trial, and in his last two attempts had not jumped up to his form. When the Olympic lad walked back to make his final attempt the cat-calls that he was greeted with must have made the better ele- ment feel sorry for some of their representa- tives; but Patterson was more than equal to the occasion and with a mighty bound he cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 in&el, thus tying Kerrigan. They both failed at six foot three, and Pat- terson, owing to his ankle getting worse, re- fused to jump the tie-off, with the result that | best man at that distance ever seen in the | the 'positions, Brunton had the inside, near- est the pole, Fuller was next, then Gill and | o, OFFICERS OF THE PETALUMA WHEELMEN. Kerrigan was awarded first honors, after cl ing six feet, and Patterson second place. th of these men are wonders, but Kerrigan has & better knowledge of jumping than Patterson, and in the estimatlon of several critics who were on nand Patterson had the better chance to iwprove, as his style is sitogether faulty in many respects. Kerrigan seems to be a more persistent than Patterson, and as it is his ambition to set a new world’s mark some day, it is quite probabie that he will soon better his recent periormance. Kerrigan is about five feet five inches in height, and weighs about 120 pounds stripped. He is a quiet, gentle- manly fellow, not given to boasting, and as he is but 18 years old, he will bear close watching. The next event was the 100-yards aash, and it founa Fuller and Rosenberg of the Mult- nomahs and Butz and Gill of the Olympic Club lined up against each other. The starter, Mr. Raley, kept the men twice on the mark for an unnecessary length of time, with the result that Butz and Gill, who were not used to that sort of starting, became some- what rattled. The third time the men were puton the mark the starter shot the sprinters off before the Olympic men had time to think, with the resuit that at fifty yards Fuller and Rosenberg were some yards in the lead, and the former won out, with Butz second and Gill third. 1do not wish it understood, mark vou, that Mr. Raley intentionally gave Butz and Gill the worst of the send-off, but the fact remeins Y“em that they both got the worst of the pistol. Butz has always had the reputation of be: an exceptionally fast man in getting aw irom the mark, but both of his opponents beat him handily, because of the starter’s style of starting, which was lorei%: to them. Very little can be saia about the broad jump, Kerrigan winning the same with & jump of 20 feet 11 inches, Brunton coming next with a jump of 20 feet 514 inches. The pole vault the Olympics let go by de- fault, the Multnomahs thus gaining first and second places without any competition. The mile run brought out Dave Brown, the best miler ever seen in these parts, and Tallant the Northwest. This man Tallant is a wonder, and could, 1f properly trained, give any man in the world s pumping race. Originally Tallant was & 100-yard man, hav- ing a record for that distance of :1. Brown ran the race of bis life against Tallant; he showed good headwork, plenty of stamina and courage, but he met, on this occasion, his mas- ter. They ran even for the entire distance to within about & hundred yards from the finish, when Tallant let out that 100-yard sprint of his, and simply ran away from Dave, finishing the'mile in 4:311-5, Brown’s time being about one second slower. 'These two men met in the half-mile afterward and it was but a repetition ol the first race. Daye staid with Tallant to within seventy or eighty yards of the finish, when Tallant again spurted and finished an easy winner in 2:04. Tallant 1s a man 28 years of age, about six feet tall and weighed 180 pounds when he met ave. He is married and the father of s family. Up 10 two years ago he never had a running- shoe on and did not know anything of ath- letics. The 220-yerd race was the best one of the day. It found Fuller, the winner of the 100- yard dash, and Rosenberg, from the Multno- mahs and Brunton and Gill, from_the Olym- pics, competing. When the men lined up for Rosenberg on the outside. Brunton started off at a furious pace, deter- mined to keep the lead; Fuller ran even with him to the curve, when, owing to Brunton'’s | superior _position, he dropreu back .a trifie; Gill was directly behind Fuller and Rosenberg alongside of Gill. When about three-quarters of the curve had been covered Fuller swayed out sufficiently to give Gill, who had been hugging the rail, & chance to get the inside, with the result that as he was the stronger of the two be ou.finishea Fuller and ran a close second to Brunton in the fast time of 23 1-5 seconds, breaking their track record two- fifths of a second. In the 440-vard event Brunton and Wand | were entered, but owing to an injury which | Wund received he was unable to start. It was promised by the management that if Wand was unable to compete the Olym- ics could substitute any one of their team in glu place, and, although not denying this promise, they positively refused the Olympics this privilege at the last moment, with the re- | sult that Brunton ran against two Multnomah men, and they fouled him all around the track, beating him out eventually in the slow time of 55 seconds. The Olympics also received unfair treatment in the 220-yard hurdle race. They placed the hurdles in this race directly parallel witha each other, with the result that an Olympic hurdler who drew an outside position wouid be compelled to run at least eight or ten yards further than an athlete who had the in- side position. : A protest against the placing of the sticks was made 10 the referee, a Mr. Glisan—who, by the way; is the president of the Multnomah Athletic Club—but the protest was ignored. This matter will be brought before the pruper authorities, and it will be ascertained whether | Mr. Glisan had the right to ignore & protest ot this kind. Morgan, the Multnomah hurdler, is an ex- ceptionally good man, whom great things may be expected of in the future. His time in the 120 hurdles, of 16 2-5 seconds without being pressed, was a fine performance, and he cov- ered the 220 hurdles in :26 3-D, another good performance. R. W. Edgren easily carried off the honors in the three weights, and he made many iriends in that part of the world by his gentlemanly conduct. The mistake the Oiympic Cluo made was in not sending more men to com- pete, for on the day of the games it had but six men, and they were pitted against ten first-class athletes. But, all things considered, the Olympic Club men made a fine showin, The Multnomah people expended on outdoor athletics last year, and besides having & care-taker at their ‘grounds they employ a trainer, 4 man by the name of King, who a thomush perception of ail the finer points.of track and field athletics, and to him belongs the credit of the Muiltnomah Athletic Club placing such s strong team in the field. His men were all in fine condition and they cer- tainly did themselves and Mr. King proud. What the Olympic Club should do is to place itself in correspondence with the Multnomahs and negotiate for another meet of this kind for the same time and place for next year, and 1n- tead of sending six men to compete send ten, and the chances are they will come back win- ners. The Oregonian traated the visitors with & great deal of consideration, and so did the peo- Dle of Portland. One thing is certain, a meet of this kind is beneficial to ontdoor sport, as it gives the outdoor men something to work for, and it should be encouraged by the Olympic Club. The Olympic Club is an_athletic insti- tution which has gained its prestige in the world at large through iis sthletic standing, and as its foundation was laid on the same we may hope to see track and field athletics prop- erly encouraged in the future. LEONARD GILL, Captain of Olympic Club. The Manhattan Athletic Club will give an excellent athletic entertainment at its club rooms, 1749 Mission street, Monday evening, July 27. The committee is, at this early ‘hour, arranging & pro:-ramme which will consist of :fi‘ kinds of indoor athletics. According to the sporting article from THE UALL'S Portland correspondent, which appears in this department, Kerrigan, the gre-t jumper, is lying seriously sick at his ome. ptilscoan b Ui THE CARSMEN. Crews That Left Here Yesterday for Stockton—The Regatta. The much-talked-of Stockton regatta takes place to-day on the Stockion Chan- nel. The oarsmen entered in the different events are in the pink of condition, hav- ing trained faithfully for the contests since the El Campo regatta on May 30 last, and if nothing unforeseen happens to dampen the ardor of the sculiers some very spir- ited contests will be witnessed. To offset the action of the local senior barge crews the Stockton rowing clubs bave induced the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association to arrange an inter- mediate barge race to take the place of the senior four-oared event. An intermediate class is something new in rowing contests and should meet with popular favor among oarsmen. When a man wins a junior race he is eligible to row an intermediate race before going into the senior ciass, and in this way a rower, after leaving the lower ranks, is given a better chance to distinguish himseif be- fore meeting the crackajacks of the senior class, If the South End junior crew succeed in defeating the Stockion junior crew in to- day’s event they will row in the interme- diate race against the Stockton giants, who won the junior race at the El Campo regatta from them by only four feet. In all five events will be pulied off at the regatta, as follows: Junior four-oared barge, intermediate class; four-oared barge, senior; sinzle seull, senior outrig- ger skiff and junior single scull events. The rowing fraternity left in a body last evening for the scene of the regatta. They tried to make arranzements for a special steamer to leave the City at 8 . M., but failed in their purpose. and in consequence there are many people who had intended to witness the regatta in Stockton will now remain at home, not caring to make the triv in the overcrowded regular steamers. i BASEBALL. Plenty of the National Game to Be Seen on the National Hollday. July 4 will see a lively time at the Presidio grounds. Commencing at 1 o'clock two games of baseball will be played for one admission. From all re- ports the players are on their mettle and will cut out a lively pace. The new team admitted into the City League from Oakland will have a number of players that the Oakland people will take price in watching. Among them are *‘Tip” O'Neill, Lou Hardy, Donovan, Arlett and others. This team is wholly composed of Oakland players, and will represent that city not only in nume but with home material. The Pacifics are the leaders in the race so far, with the Imperials right upon their heels. Mr. Muller and his Californias will have to *‘ginger’” up or they will find trou- ble landing anywhere near the top. The young bloods are playing the better game at present, and that is why the Californias are not strong—too many old timers. With the admission of the Oakland team a new schedule will have to be made, and lovers of the National game may look for good baseball.

Lenihan vs. J. J. Feeney and J. Nelson. An interesting f d game was played yesterday at the San Francisco Court between John Riordon, coast champion. and G. Hutch- inson vs. J. Feeney and M. Kilgallon, cham- pion of Denver. The feature of the game was the terrific hitting of Kilgallon; the game was won by J. Feeney and M. Kilgalion, by the fol. lowing score: J. Riordon and G. Hutchinson, 1917, 21—15; M. Kilgalion and J. Feeney, 21-21, 16—21 A sligle-hand game was aiso played between P. Donnelly, amateur champion, vs. R. Leni- n. The feature of the game was the service d overhead hitting oi Lenihan, he winning the game by the score of 21—4, 7—21. e g iy THE BOXERS. Choynskli Signed Articles to Meet Slavin —Ryan and Green Matched. Manager Gibbs of the National Athletic Club does not like the mannerin which his partner, Groom, transacts business, Groom, it appears, has learned a thing or two from Gibbs about clubs and how they should be managed, and result henow has about concluded to play a lone- bhand in the game. Gibbs is kicking in the traces, and says that Groom cannot pull the wool over his eves. “If Groom wants to run a club singly,”” said Gibbs, “let bim go ahead, but he must find some other name than that of thxe‘llnionu'gh:b.(; s api at Groom of a of mm for a contest between Cho;““uu and Maher before he had consulted with his partner, Gibbs, and, naturally, the lat- tgr feit a wee bit huffy on being slighted thusly. The break between tne managers is but very slight, however, and will certainly amount to nothing, although there are some Eeonle living who delight in trying to make mountains out of mole hills. Joe Choynski signed articles of agree- ment yesterday to box Peter Maher a ten- round contest before the National Club. Eddie Graney signed for Maher. The purse offered by Groom is $6000. George Green also signed an agreement to box Tommy Ryan a ten-round bout, to take place at the National Club the month following the Maher- Choynski mvlll. Maber has taken his departure from New York for this city. 5 Young Mitchell says that neither Smith nor G-lfagher will get a cent of the purse which the club offered them for a squarely fought contest. He says that it was one of the*oulest fights he had ever seen, and that the pngifi'slu were instructed before- hand that if they fought like dogs and cats they would not get a cent. He is willing, however, to allow them their training ex- penses, which is pretty good, considering. Jim Corbett is at the springs, and he wiil need to remain there for fully six months 10 tone his exhausted forces. CRICKET CHIRPS. Scores on Eastern Flelds—To-Day’s and To-Morrow’s Games. : High scoring seems to be the vogue in the Eastas well in Europe. Playing for the Philadelphia Club against the Belford on the 20th ult. H. L. Clark car- ried his bat for 137 without, it is said, giv- ing a single chance. The Yorkville team defeated the second eleven of the St. George's Athletic Club at Central Park, New York, two weeks back. The Germantown and Merion clubs met in a championship contest on the former’s ground at Pbilmrelphin at the end of last month. Effective bowling by G. S. Pat- terson and E. W. Clark retired the Merion team for 67. After losing one wicket, G. S. Patterson and W. W. Noole made a splen- did stand in partaership for the German- town eleven, bringing the total up to 211 by the call of time. Patterson made 60 without giving the semblance of a chance, while Noble was credited. with 127, not out, marred only by a difficult chance to long on when he had made 79. The New Jersey Athletic and Manhat- tan clubs. of the Metropoliian District League piayed a cham pionship game June 20 at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, N. Y., the former scoring 94 for the loss of three wickets, after retiring the Manhattan eleven for a total of 90. J. Adam made 34 and H. 8. Tattersall 16, not_out, for the Manhattan team, while A. 8. Webster, late of the Bohemian Club of the Calitornia Association, with 30, and W. D. Hickie, with 20, were the highest scorers for the New Jersey team. The cricket correspondents of New York and Philadelphia announce that a match between the Ausiralians and an associ- ated team of Californians has been definitely arranged. I am anxiously awaiting the publication in_one or otuer of the Eastern journals of the selected California team and other particulars. Up to a late hour yesterday it was feared that the Ground vs. Ground match, projected for to-day, could not be ar- ranged. All hitches have, however, been overcome and the game will commence punctually at noon. Whether the contest shall last one or two days will be arranged on the field to-day. To-morrow the Pacific_eleven play the San Jose team on the Garden City grounds. UMPIRE. e e FISHING. Where Anglers Can Enjoy a Good Day’s Sport on Salt Water. Boy fishing has improved considerably on the north shore of the bay during the past week, the fish caught averaging a larger size than those caught earlier in the season. Large strings of rockcod, smelt and perch have been brought over on the Sausalito and Tiburon ferries during the last few days. On Sunday last Frank Denny and a friend caught about sixty pounds of red and blue rockcod near Point Cavallo, the largest a red rockcod weighing three and a half pounds. On Monday James Thomsen, the well- known angler, and companion, caught fifty-six pounds of red rockcod at Yellow Biuff and Point Cavallo, the largest weigh- ing iwo and three-quarter pounds. Several striped bass have been caught lately in Sausalito Ba{'aby professional fishermen using nets. st Monday one was caught at the tide-gauge wharf weigh- ing nineteen pounds. S THE GUN. Inaugural Shoot of the Pacific Tar- get Assoclation, One of the most interesting events of the season, that isso far as trap shooting is concerned, will take place this aftsrnoon at Alameda Point. The Pacific Inanimate Target Association will gather in stronx force before the traps and it can be safely said that some extraordinary scores will be recorded at the end of the day’s contests, as among the contestants will figure several of the best iranimate targei shooters of the State. The pro- gramme, which was published in last Sat- urday’s CALL, is one of excellent selection and the prizes are of such good value as to guarantee a large field of entries. The popular sportsman, Clarence Haight, is authority for the statement that all visit- ing sportsmen will receive a welcome re- ception and enjoy a general good time. A first-class luncheon will be served at the grounds during intermission. BAY e The St. George’s Club. At a meeting of the St. George’s Club last Wednesday evening some additions were made to the athletic committee, which is now constituted as follows: A. H, Rae Brown, ¥. S. Kemp, A. Turnbull, A, G. Kent, J. Fleming Carroll, Joe Acton and Edward C. Weatherly. The first big tournament is scheduled for July 27, when a programme will be presented that shoula draw big crowds to the Pavilion. It is also the intention of the committee to put forth their best efforts to bring the Aus- tralian cricketers here in October, and negotiations are now being conductea tn that end. —_— Sacramento Sporting News.
