10 In the sporting swim the principal in- terest is now attached to fisticuffs. The contest of last evening between the heavy- | weight pugilists, McAuliffe and Choynski, attracted a very large gathering of people | to Woodward’s Gardens. On Wednesday | evening the clever welter-weight boxers, Gallagher and Green, will meet at the Grove-street Theater under the auspices | of the Colma Club. The wheelmen are interested in the re- sult of the relay race across the continent. In the following columns will be found | the latest news of interest to oarsmen, | yachtsmen, anglers, sportsmen, football | players, athletes and leashmen, etc. e THE WHEELMEN. | | Z ‘ Entrles and Handicaps of the Lib- erty Cycling Club’s Road Race. Club runs are becoming less frequent as the Sundays pass by, owing to the dusty condition of the roads and the heat of the country. After the first rains, however, touring will be renewed one might say, for in California the best time for riding | is in the fail months. There is one road race scheduled for to- morrow, that of the Liberty Cycling Club, which will be held over the San Leandro- Haywards course at 2 P. M. The entries and hbandicaps are as follows: Albert Shieb, F. R. Haley, F. Struven, scratch; Thomas White, H. Wahnig, 30 seconds; | Ben Muller, Charles Lieb, Fred Rusher, 1:00; M. Kielberg, Charles Barnes, 1:30; H. Griffith, Fred XKoch, 2:00; Joseph | Holle, H. Roberts, 2:30., The club mem- bers will bave a run to witness the event, taking the 10 o’clock broad-gauge boat. The Alpka (ladies) Cycling Club will have & run to the park to-morrow, leaving | their clubhouse at 10:30 A. M. under Cap- {‘ tain Mahony. | George E. Sheldon of the Bay City | Wheelmen has returned from an extended | irip to the north. Victor A. Hancock of the same club left Stockton Wednesday | morning en route to Lake Tahoein the | interest of the jJeague road book, a new edition of which will be issued about September 15. The Tahoe trip has never appeared on the road maps of former editions, and Mr. Hancock makes the trip for that purpose. David Marshall of the Bay City’s has returned from Stockton, where he has been for the past week on a business and pleasure trip. If W. A. Terrill, the champion profes- sional rider of the coast, cannot get a match race with Downing of the Garden City Cyclers, or does not care to ride against Downing, he can have a match with Oscar Osen at Stockton on September 9, and the athletic club there will putup a good-sized purse for the event. The Stockton half- mile track is being watered and rolled daily and will be a fast course on the day of the races. There are a number of the cracks now in training on the San Jose three-lap track, and the Garden City Cyclers meet on the 9th prox. will draw a large number of en- trants and the usual crowds of spectators. Ed. Chapman, one of the Olympic Wheelmen’s promising amateurs, has joined the professional ranks, more at the suggestion of the racing board than of his own volition. He should do well in hanai- cap events. J. L. Bothwell, a prominent member of the Garden City Cyclers, is in the City on a visit. Bert Thorndyke of the same club1 is also here on his return from Stockton, where he has been visiting relatives. The Eintracht Cyclers will have a club run to Camp Taylor to-morrow under Captain Frank, leaving on the first boat. The women riders of the East have ef- fected a pretty combination for the warm days. The hot and cumbersome leather and canvas leggins are not worn so gener- ally as they were earlier in the year. The skirts have been lengthened slightly and ordinary stockings are worn. These look neat and comfortable. The women are also wearing a fetching shirt waist in pleasant colors with very wide sleeves. The effect is preity. As they skim by with these X- ray sleeves flutterine in the wind they look not unlike gigantic butterflies. The North California Division, League of American Wheeimen, has issued the following circular to ail local consuls, league hotels and representatives, which explains itself: BAN FRANcIsco, August 20, 1896, Dear Sir: 1 beg to advise you that certain arties, professing to be connected with the North California Division, League of American ‘Wheelmen, are soliciling advertisements for a road book, announcing that it is the official League of American Wheelmen road book. Such statements are {alse, and you are urged 1o use your power emong your townspeople, forming them of this fact. The official league road book of this division is now being completed, and will be issued about September ments to be foun: erein are from the trades- people of San Francisco. Kindly give this the publicity which it de- serves, thereby aiding the board of officers of this division, Fraternally yours, North California Division, League of Ameri- can Whelme “hief Consul. stary-Treasurer. The 8an Francisco Road Club will have a run to-morrow to Mill Valley and Lark- spur, under Captain Pixley, taking the 9 o’clock boat from this side. H President Conwell of the Cycle Board of | Trade has appointed J. W. Maguire, L Schwariz and James M. Hamilton a com- mittee to arrange a banquet of the board with the South Side Improvement Club, a Jittle feature which has been on the tapis ever since the big parade on July 25. Walter B. Fawcett has resigned the cap- taincy of the Olympic Club Wheeimen, but this fact has created litile surprise, as he has been so employed of iate in the conduct of race meets that he has had little chiance to give any aitention to the ciub, ana T. G. Spillane has been acting as cap- tain 1n his stead. r. Spillane may now be honored with the captaincy, or the nonor may fall upon Lieutenant Plage- man, M ssrs. Stratton, Cosgriff, Edwards, Ravlin and Hadenfeldt of the Olvmpic Club Wheeimen will ride to San Jose to- day, returning to-morrow. They compose a committee from their club to arrange for a joint road race with the Garden City Cy- clers at five miles, to take place about Sep- tember 20. Such an event should be of considerable interest. Chief Consul Kerrigan has calleda meet- ing of the North California Division, League of American Wheelmen, for Satur- , and the only advertise- | day evening, September 5, 1ths rooms of the Bay City Wheelmen, and all delegates and representatives are requested to be present. The Raisin City Cyclers of Fresno have elected the following officers, directors and committeemen: John McMullin, president; John Reichman, vice-presidgut; B. J. Metzler, treasurer; A. Newhouse, ‘secretary; Dr. tain; C. H. Markham and F. tenants. Board of directors—Frank H. Short, Harry W. Skinner, B. J. Metzler, T. J. Hay, John Mec- Mullin, Dr. A. J. Pedlar, C. H. Markham, John Reichman and A. Newhonse. Committee on good roads—James Porteous, George C. Roeding, Dr. T. M. Hayden, George W. Jones and A. Gartenlaub. The club starts under auspicious circum- stances, having a charter-roll of eighty- four members. Besides these, twenty- eight more were elected at the last meeting. R. M. Thompson is the local consul of the league at Fresno and will do all in his power to have the Raisin City Cyclers made a league club. Mr. Thompson is in the cycle business there and is very popu- lar with all the riders. 5 The entries for the race-meets at Stock- H. Freman, lieu- | ton and San Jose on September 9 (Admis- | sion day) will close next Wednesday with the secretaries of the Stockton Athletic Club and the Garden City Cyclers respect- ively. The handicaps will be announced a few days later. The brake is bound to grow in favor. | Circumstances during the last few weeks | force this conclusion upon the students of the cycle trade. Accidents, several fatal ones among the number, have occurred in the East lately and it has been shown that in each case a brake, had there been one attached, could doubtless have averted the fatality. It now apparently remains fora really clever device to be placed upon the market for it to score a great success. A good brake is really wanted. The cyclists | realize it and each day they are becoming more and more convinced of its necessity. An expert rider has said: “If brakes were in universal use the number of accidents would be decreased nearly 50 per cent. Even the dreaded and universally con- demned scorcher would not be so terrify ing if he had a brake on his wheel. It would be of decided benefit even on level places where a stop could be made quickly. No one needs to be told that it would be'a decided advantage on hills. ‘“‘The novice, above ail others, snould not attempt to ride in a hilly country without a brake. Theart of back-pedaling is an accomplisnment which should be acquired by all, but there are times when even that does not avail. The foot may slip at a critical moment, or any one of a dozen minor accidents happen, which makes it imperative that the speed of the wheel be checked at once. That cannot be done successfully and without risk of injuring the rider or the wheel without a brake, ail ._usse’r,lions to the contrary notwithstand- Entry blanks are out for the road races to be held over the Ross Valiey course, from Tamalpais to San Rafael, Sunday, September 13. There will be a five-mile bandicap, starting at 11 A. M., and_a mile handicap, starting at 2:30 p. M. Entries should be sent to Frank M. Byrne, box 715, San Refael, not later than Thursday, September 10. The events are open to amateurs only, and will doubtless attract a large number of riders if the prizes are at all valuable. The prize list has not yet Leen given out, however. The annual meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen will be held next Tuesday evening, September 1, at the clubrooms, 441 Golden Gate avenue. Fred C.

To them 10,000 would be a poor crowd; to us it woula be an im- mense mob. Professional racing is the proper thing, of course, and there is a great deal of betting on the resuits. The sport is squarely conducted, there seldom being any crooked work heard of, which probably accounts for the support it re- ceives from the publie. SpALDING. Neat cards are out for the twenty-eighth annual outing of the Red Rock Juveniles to Wildwood Gienn, Sausalito, to-morrow. The Red Rockers never do anything by halves and invariably manage to invent some new pleasure during those semi-oc- casional events. On this occasion there will beja 100-yard race between Officer Bill Harrison and Henry Hact and fancy bicy- cleriding by Captain Rome Harris and Billy Driscoll. The ladies will sing and dance with their customary skill and afterward entertain the party at a choice repast at a fashionable restaurant on Bush street. The club will give the second smoker on September 24. B ATHLETICS. The Captaln of the Olymplc Club on the New Football Team. Leonard Gill, the present captain of the Olympic Club athletes, who will retire with the old board in September, sends the following letter to Tre CavLL, which should interest the officers of the mew board, and especially the football team. Gill says: Ii the coming board of directors of -the Olympie Club will give the football team proper support this fall the Olympic Club will have by far the best team in its history. The main fault last season was that the formation of & team was left to such a late period in the season that the team did not have the neces- sary time to properly organize and condition itself. This year both of these drawbacks have been overcome, and at the present time suf- ficient work has been accomplished to insure a firsi-class eleven, and all that is needed to put a first-class team in the field is substantial support from the incoming board of directors. Percy Morse, an oid football player and & star at that, will be the club’s new captain, and as he is an enthusiast on the game, the team will no doubt be given due recognition. At arecent meeting “Pete” Smith was again elected captain of the team and the selection was_undoubtedly & good one. He is a hard worker, plays the game for the -love of it and has not . superior in bis position as guard, Pete weighs over 200 pbunds in his football clothes and was a protege of Heffelfinger’s. It is not exactly known at the‘present time who the club has to draw from for the other guard; possibly Plunkett might be induced to 1ill this position on the team, ana should he not play wilh Berkeley this season in all prob- ability he will play with the Olympics. Middlemass and & new aspirant by the name of Mason will also try for gnard. Mason has had experience on minor elevens, and as he E"]FS at 190 pounds and is willing to iearn he will no doubt be a great acquisition. Frank Kington will be again found at his old position at center. Kington is bigger than ever, as well as stronger. He has been putting in his spare moments of late boxing with Choynski, Stelzner, and wrestling and boxing with Van Buskirk until he has become already in excel- lent condition. Billy Sexton will again be found at tackle, and from present indications Douglass, one of last year’s Varsity Berke ley tackles, will play the other tackle. " Virgil Nahl and Meclsaacs, & last year’s St. Mary’s player, are probably the strongest ends the team has this early in the season, but we may possibly be able to induce Abe Lewis to join the team, in which event the team will be particularly strong at end. Tommy Codey will play quarter, and with his four years’ experience with Stanford he will strengthen the team in more ways than one, and should prove a great assistant to its captain. The eleven at the present time has Percy Morse, Fred McNear, Fred Butz, Stow and Roy | Weldon as backs. Weldon as a punter has not & superior on this coast. His kicks have al- ways been sure and accurate, and he will greatly strengthen the team. The Olympics have always been handicapped by not having a fullback that was a first-class kicker, but this year this will all be obviated by the presence of Welaon back of the line. Last season the team had training quarters; a house was furnished them, and the men were supplied with three meals per day. This was expensive and_the results were not altogether satisfactory. This season it is pro- posed to simply furnish the men one meatper day—dinner—and do away with the house and the breakfast and the lunch. The.men can then go to their peaceful homes and enjoy a good night’s rest. The noise, the troubie and clothes that were stolen last season at the Olympic training quarters kept the manage- ment in hot water continually. I see by the papers that the Reliance team cost its club $3200 last season, which 1s, by the way, rather expensive. The Olympics cost théir elub something in the neighborhood of $500, counting their trip to Butte and inci mailed to the amateur athletic clubs of the coast: BAN FraNcisco, Aug. 27, 1896, To the Me '8 of Athletic Clubs on the Coast—G MEN: For the purpose of protect- ing amateur sports, particularly scientific box- ing, & meeting will'be held to ormnl‘a some plan of action, which meeting will ta. Slm at the rooms of the Manhattan Athletic Club, 1749 Mission street, corner of Erie, on Wednes- day evening, September 2. The priucipal object of the meedn%wfll be to have advice from members of the different clubs in regard to the license ($100) which is exacted from clubs giving boxing exhibitions. The license, of course, discourages athletic sport, and if we can devise a way toavoid it we will encourage the sport and give better onpo'nnnluel to the promising athletes of our coast. Hoping you will give this your earnest at- tention and eonlldg:-nuon .nyd that you will be represented at the mgeting, we remain yours respectfully, resident Manhattan Athletic Club, iy THE ANGLER. Latest Reports From the Truckee and Eel Rivers—Sonoma Creek Trout. Although several lovers of the angle have put away their rods for the season, the best of sport is now ai hand, but suc- cess is guaranteed only to those who have profited by experience. In some of the coast streams trout-fishing is now first class, but as the water is very clear and low the trout are wary, and as a conse- quence the morning and evening fishing are best. Latest reports from the Big Sulphur Creek, near Cloverdale, are favorable, and good sport awaits the angler who under- stands the proper way of presenting a fly or spoon to the denizens of the deep pools. John Butler is in receipt of a lettcr from Mr. Monroe of the Eel River which says that first-tlass steelhead fishing is now in order, but that the cream of the fishing may be expected during the latter part of this month. John Gallagher, the chamvion angler of gaklnnd. will leave for the Eel in a few avs. Excellent black-bass fishing is reported from Duncans Mills. Mr. Morgan writes that Charley Green and a parly of friends caught several bass in the Russian River near Moscow Cottage recently that aver- aged in weight from two to five pounds. Minnows and grasshoppers are the most enticing baits for the lordly bass. The attention of the Fish Commission- ers has been called to the fact that poach- ers are killing hundreds of bassin the Sonoma Creek last Sunday above Glen Ellen and returned early in the afternoon with & fair basket. On 'his return to the M Hotelat Glen Ellen he was surrounded summer visitors who looked surprised st a fine mess of steelheads that he displayed on 8 large dish. The catch was made between Kenwood and Glen Ellen. » ““There was good sport along the creek.” said Precht. “I hooked a great many little fellows that were game fish, and I threw them back into the stream. The big ones gave me a hard :n‘ltle. I msiz m}‘l“ of them on account of the ny snags in the dee; 1s.” Mrs. C. Coppin and fimohn C. Liebert are two very enthusiastic anglers. They leave the Mervyn Hotel at Glen Ellen almost every morning and return invariably with nice messes of trout. One day they caught eleven trout wfl%nlnz four and’ a half pounds. The League of the Cross Cadets have disturbed Sonoma Creek in the vicinity of their camp so the fish are cautious for a short stretch, which compels the anglers to go further up the stream, % The Rev. James McDonald of St. Peter's Pparish, who is visiting Glen Ellen, is delighted with his success in tne hills after game. He dons the garb of a hunter and travels with his favorite dog through brakes and canyons. The hills are alive with doves and Father McDon- 8ld finds them out, with the result that he brings many & bulging pag into camp. In dition to doves he gathers in many plump cottontails. To judge from appearances there will be great sport in the hills around Glen Ellen when the quail season opens, for one comes across bevies of quail repeatedly in a ;hon walk over the country in that neighbor- 00d. O COURSING. Valley Queen Whelps a Blg Litter to Rossiter’s Emin Pasha. The sport of coursing that has taken such a firm hold in the Middle and West- ern States is gradually growing in favor in California, and each succeeding meet sees new faces on the field and increased interest in the dogs. Last Sunday’s running at Ocean View and Ingleside brought out geventy-six hounds, a. showing for a single and regu- lar every-week meet thatcould hardly be made by any city in the Union. With increased interest and greater fa- cilities the sport can hardly fail to g0 to the front and morcever remain there, for it seems to be the rule that once a cours- ing man always one, aud even though no longer owners veterans of the field turn out Sunday after Sunday to see the de- scendants of their old favorites run, and tell of the days when they saw Fullerton or even the great master McGrath run.

The Truckee River is rapidly rounding into form, and anglers who are conversant with it and the peculiarities of the trout are sanguine that grand sport will be en- joyed next month. Truckee has not been ‘a success, from an angler's point of view, as the fishes have been feeding on grubs and snails, which were very prolific in the river owing to an nnexpected appearance of drifiing moss which evidently came from the dams that were cleaned out this summer. The moss is now rapidly decaying, and as a conse- quence anglers look forward to fine fishing in September. Among the anglers who visited Boca during August for the pleas- ure of fishing and shooting are: A. B. Huntley, Summit; J. H. McCormack, Reno; E. B. Yerington, Carson; A. L. Langer- man, L. F. Thorn, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wright, Joseph Phillips, Frank Erdman, J. W. Bur- dette, J. W. Graham, Dr. J. J. Giusti, Sidney LEONARD GILL, Captain of the Olympic Club Athletes, Who Will Retire From Duty on September 7. returned 'from his Australian' trip, via Honolulu, Thursday. He reports the cycle trade as brisk in Australia, but there are any number of different makes of wheels, agenciesand rental piaces, and the business 1s likely to be ovenfone, as it was here a year or so ago. There will always be ademand for high-grade American- made wieels there, however, and Austra- lia will hereafter cut a large figure in our bicycle export trade. The riders there prefer wheels somewhat heavier than those in mse in America. Bicycle races are largely attended, it being the reigning sport. Itis nothing to see from 30,000 to 40,000 people at a meet, the grounds being dentals. This season by judicious manage ment the team will probably come out pretty nearly even. What the board should do is to aporopricte at its first meeting & sufficient sum to put the team o 500(1 sound basis. Games will then be arranged with Reliancs, Berkeley and Stanford, and 1He indications are that the public will patronize the game more than ever this season the club stands a good ¢hance of making money out of it. What the team needs most is proper support and encourage- ment from the new board, and it will undoubt- edly receive it, as I understand .the new directors intend to liven up matters athletic- ally.

Rossiter’s Emin Pasha ten as fine pups as ever saw the light of day. Five of the vups are dogs, and already there is a great scramble among coursing men for reg;e- sentatives of the litter. However, as 3 Edmonds makes a practice of never selling any of his stock it is probable that, aside from the owners of the two dogs and a few of their personal friends, the enthusiasts will be disappointed. This is Valley Queen’s third litter since her retirement from the turf, where she made a record second to no dog that ever chased a rabbit in California. From the day she started as a sapling, six years ago, up to the day that her owner decided that her time for retirement had come she won money—including many firsts—in every stake in which she was entered. She is by Stranger, a dog that never performed in public, out of Jersey Lily, a splendidly bred bitch. Stranger was bred by a weli- known sporting man of Livermore. Rossiter’s Emin Pasha is by imporied Major, out of imported -Daisy, and has shown his quality by running a number of important stakes, He has a wonderful turn of speed, and the pups out of grand old Valley Queen should be hard to beat, both for speed and cleverness. Tne accompanying illustration shows Mr. Edmonds, who is one of the stanch- est friends of coursing on the coast and who has done as much for the sport as an, follower of the leash now living, He is holding by cords his brood bitches Valley Queen and Vida Shaw, the latter being a royally bred hound by Major Glendyne. out of Lady Alice, and trnemfi her %edi- gree back to the great Master McGra Tommy Brennan,the well-known t; er, has just received from G.

A Number of Interesting Eventsfor the Near Future. The new rifle range and park of the San Jose Turn Verein will be opened to-mor- row with a grand shooting festival and picnic. Marksmen from all over the coast have been invited to attend and many in- vitations have been accepted. San Fran- cisco clubs will be well represented. A large number of cash and honorary prizes will be contested for. When the train from this Civy reaches San Jose, a little after 9 o’clock in the morning, the visitors will be met at the depot by tire- Turners in full uniform and escorted through the principal streets to the park. The Turn- ers of San Francisco will go to the Garden City in full uniform. The shooting will last two days, to-morrow and Monday. On Monday evening there will be the dis- tribution of prizes followed by a grand ball. The Eintracht, San Krancisco Tura Verein and the Deutschen Krieger shoot- ing sections of San Francisco are prepar- ing for a big joint picnic and prize shoot- ing festival, to be held in Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael, on the first Sunday in October. On Monday night representa- tives of the three organizations ‘met and made the prelimiuary arrangements for the event. .

An invitation will be extended to all rifle clubs and marksmen to attend the shooting festival and merrymaking. For several days past Captain Siebe of Shell Mound has been putting the rifle range in order for the thirty-eizhth an- nual festival of the San Francisco Schuet- zez Verein, which will be held on Sunday, September 6. About $400 in cash will be shot for, The usual range rules will gov- ern. On the point target there will be 20 cash prizes, from $25 to $2. for the best centers, and 20 prizes, from $25 to $2, for the most points. Besides these $60 will be divided into 15 cash premiums, from $12 to §1, for the most red Hagsin 30 shots; tickets, $5, unlimited. Ties will be de- cided by the most blue flags. The distri- bution of prizes will be held on Thursday evening, g’epmmbfl 10, at California Hall, 620 Bush street. The distribution will be followed by a social. On Thursday evening at the California Schuetzen Club’s distribution of prizes the question of superiority among the champions sarose, and the subject nar- rowed down to the qualifications of A. Strecker and D. W. McLaughlin. This question will be decided on the third Sun- day in September, when these two marks- men will shoot a 100-shot match for $20 a side. The match is looked forward to with great interest by local marksmen, and some interest in the event wiil surely be felt by Eastern riflemen, to whom Strecker and McLaughlin are known per- sonally and by reputation. California is noted all over the United Strates, and in fact all over the world, for the numbver of her expert marksmen who have won honors and prizeson every range and under every sun. This is not to ge wondered at considering the large number of riflemen in the State, and particularly in and around San Frauncisco. Within the past few months interest in rifle and re- volver practice has been increasing and the local clubs’ membership rolls are con- stantly growing larger. In the interior ot the State this interest has been marked b; a number of new clubs springing into life. These clubs it seems are being formed by the younger genetation, guided to some extent by the older marksmen, men who have ‘‘seen their best days’ as rifle and pistol shots. The young marksmen, how- ever, desire modern methods and ideas for their g\_ndnr_me, as indicated by several let- ters of inquiry that bave come to hand. These inquiries are for information as to how to construct rifle ranges, targets, the best firearms, both large and small, and the best ammunition and the methods of loading the same. Lack of time has prevented the answer- ing of all of these letters at length, but a few suggestions can be made here that will place many of these inquirers in the right direction for obtaining the informa- tion they desire. There are several well- written works on rifle and revolver shoot~ ing and the proper firearms to select for |¥echl purposes. Two are by A. C. Gould | of 293 Broadway, New York, entitled “The Rifle” and “The Pistol.”’ Mr. Gould is recognized all over the world asan author- ity on all such subjects. The ‘‘Ideal Hand- Book” and the Stevens Company’s book on these matters also contain much valu- able information. The two latter are for- warded gratis. One of the worst difficulties for young marksmen to overcome in either rifle or pistol shooting is ‘‘flinching.”” Many older men, too, are afflicted in the same way, but they will not acknowledge it. It is not that they are ‘‘powder shy.” It is unconscious nervousness, The question has been frequently asked, How can flinch- ing be overcome? It is simple emough. Practice with an empty gun. An old one is the best, as it is not necessary to spoil a good firearm by constant snapping. Aim an empty revolver or rifle at some small object on the wall of your room or on an adjoining building and pull the trieger steadily until the hammer falls. Your very first efforts will clearly prove that you flinch, but a few efforts will over- come this fault. Even after the flinching habit is overcome, the practice is good for it steadies the nerves and it is just as good for the beginner as actual shooting. Fire a thousand shots a week, so to speak, in this way, and when on the range the shy- ness first felt disappears when powder and pbuilets are actually used. Some of the NEW TO-DAY.
