THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1896 The Olympic Gun Club will hold what promises to be an interesting race before the traps to-morrow at Alameda. The 100 bird race should bring up a large num- ber of entries. The attention of the Game Warden and Commissioners has been called to the schemes concocted by profes- sional hunters who are shipping young mallard ducks to this Uity in butter boxes. Bob Fitzsimmons is now apparently very anxious to fight Jim Corbett, who vroved to the satisfaction of thousands when he boxed Sharkey in this City, that be has seen his best days. If the Cor- nishman has not retrograded physically since he departed from this City he should whip Corbett now. Coursing is one of the outdoor sports which is rapidly gaining in support. two parks are doing & thriving busi- ness. Football will soon be in full blast and the college yell is not for off. Rowing, rifle shooting, angling and other pastimes are being well patronized. Setegeid THE WHEELMEN. Road Races at San Rafael the Feature of the Sport To-morrow. The road racing to-morrow at San Rafael will attract many of the amateur riders from this city and Oakiand, and, no doubt, a large number of spectators from Marin County points. There are very few club runs called for the day, as many of the club men have had a hard week of it, owing to the diffcrent celebrations, and a day of rest is quite welcome. There will be considerable road racing during the next few weeks, but save for the meet at Eurekaon the 23d there are no track events scheduled for the near future. Road racing has a strong hold on the wheelmen of this State, and the San Leandro-Haywards course is said to be the fastest five-mile stretch in the world. The world’s record for that distance was made over it last fall, and bas never been beaten. Robert L. Long, one of the Bay Citys’ crack professionals, will probably not ride on the track any more. He stated before the Stockton meet that it would be his last race, as he dislikes the rigors of train- ing and prefers to and is able to do with- out the sport. C. R. Coulter of the Olympic Club Whee!men, who bas been on the National circuit_since it left here last spring, is go. ing to Denver shortly to try for unpaced records. Sanger will go there also us soon as the circuit is over. The California Associated Cycling Clubs will hold a theater party toward the end of this month. The one last year sbout this time was particularly enjoyable and a repetition of that good time is promised. Charles W. Hammer of the Bay City Wheelmen, now resident in Santa Cruz, has been in the City for several days. He surprised his friends at the club by an- The | T. Q.

WELCH, Member National Racing Board. A number of the crack local road-riders are already in training for tne annual ten- mile handicap road race of the associated clubs, to be beld Sunday, October 11, from High street, Fruitvale, to Haywards. Chairman Stratton of the road-racing com- mittee is making preparations with his usual care and forethought, and no doubt the race will be handled with the same skill and success which marked twenty-five-mile and relay events this year under his supervision. The regular meeting of the association will be held | Saturday evening, October 3. Fred C. Chandler left Thursday night for Europe and will hereafter care for London business. Chandler had the respect of all the trade here and was a very popular member of the Bay City and Olympic clubs, which have now lost a zood member. George R. Burdick, who stands high in National Guard circles here, will leave on his wheel for a two weeks’ vacation trip this afternoon. | A hint for race-meet promoters, a mile race for messenger-boys. Such a race was recently run at the New York State Divi- sion meet and created unbounded enthu- | siasm, since it was the first ever arranged | for this proverbially slow element in the list of public necessities. The Acme Club Wheelmen have all re- newed their memberships in the League | of American Wheelmen, and it is to be | hoped the Garden City Cyclers, a large | number of whose memberships expire | with this month, will do the same. The league is progressing wonderfully well in this State now and is constantly adding to its roll some of the most prominent men in the State’s affairs. Local consuls to whom special credi: is due for the work they have done are: R. M. Thompson of | Fresno, Victor Tuttle of Watsonville, S. P. Wible of Bakersteld, J. L. Allen of the ton, and the gentiemen in charge of the Sacrament> and Pleasanton districts, whose names have escaped me. Chief Consul Kerrigan will shortly give to the press a record of the work done by all lo- cal consuls during his ferm, aud these gentlemen should nearly head his ‘‘roll of honor.” There are others who have not interested themselves in their work as nuch as they might have, and some whose istricts were hard to work and whose re- turns are therefore not large, and this will all be taken into consideration in the chiet consul’s report. It wouid not be a bad idea for some of the local clubs that desire increased mem- bershiv to follow the example of the big Eastern clubs, which give a credit of one month’s dues, and sometimes two, to any one bringing in a new member. It is found a splenaid plan to increase a club’s membership legitimately. e C. J. BIRDSALL, the Crack Rider of the California Cycling Club. nouncing that he would be married on the 23d inst., and many of his clubmates will go down to attend the ceremony. The joint road race of the Garden City Cyclers and Olympic Club Wheelmen, to be held a week from to-morrow, from Mil- itas to San Jose, has created considera- Ele interest both amongz these and the other clubs because of its novelty. The hnndlu&ping will be done by L. C. Hunter for the Olympics and some member of the Garden Citys, with su:gestions from Offi- cial Handicapper 8myth. The entries will close toward the end of next week. Bulletin No. 24, September 11, 1896: Sanctions granted — September 30, Ormsby County Fair Association, Carson City, Nev.

Birdsall of the Oslifornia Cycling Club is making a repntation for himself as a speedy amatedr rider. For instance, at San Jose last Wednesday he roue second to Tantau, the Olympic crack, in the third heat of the mile open, beating Johnson of Redwood, who won the novice in 2:17, Vinc nt and Raynaund, Bay Citys, and Borree of the Reliance Ciub. He won the fourth heat of the two-thirds of a mile bandicap from a field of ten, with room to spare. With slight 1mprovement in his present condition he should rank with the best amateur riders of the coast. He1s the son of Lientenant Birdsall of the Po- lice Department. - SeaLpING. P L THE ANGLER. Blowing Upthe irout of the Amer- ican River—The Fly Casters. Mr. Miller ot the Fly-casting Club has completed three beautiful gold medals Which will be contested for by the mem- Mendocino, Orria 8. Henderson of Stcck- | bers of the club at the annual tour nament in November. In design they are truly a work of art and reflect much credit on the maker. The favorite flies of this State represented on the medals in embossed form are strikingly accurate and of beau- tiful coloring. John Lemmer was very successful last week in catching some large black bass in one of the lakes not far distant from this City. Eizhteen bass taken by the angler scaled 4714 pounds. Anglers who prefer the fly to the spoon bave not enjoyed really gooa fishing on the Truckee this season. Trout are plentiful and that fact cannot be gainsaid. It is the abundance of bottom food that has destroyed the fly fishing, and so long as the denizens of the crystal waters can enjoy good living near the rocks the devorees of fly-fishing need not hope for the success they had in past years, when the sawdust covered the crustacean food upon which the fishes fat- ten and grow lazy. Mr. La Forge of Boca had excellent suc- cess during the past week on the Truckee River. He uses a spoon of his own manu- facture, which, when properly handled, is death to the large trout of the great moun- tain river. John Butler has scoured out his “King Salmon” basket, which is guaranteed to hold asmall ton of fishes, in anticipation of the grand sport which he is certain to en- joy on the Eel River in a few weeks hence. ohn Gallagher of Oakland and Mr. Pitcher of San Mateo are now on the Eel, and ac- cording to latest reports those noted dis- ciples of “steelhead’’ and *“Walton” are having the grandest sport imsginable trolling for the new arrivals from the deep, deep sea. Bass fishing in the Russian River still continues to be first class. Two young men who returned recently from Guerne- ville, on the line of the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Railroad, had excel- lent sport within half a mile of the town at a place known as Korbels. In one af ernoon they landed twenty-three b: seven of which weighed over two pounds each. They report having had their best 3uccess on small frogs. Charley Green, C. Morehouse and J. Joues will leave to-day for Russian River, and, of course, their friends are looking forward to some beautiful messes of sweet black bass, The following letter from Mr. Muller will give anglers and sportsmen an idea of the protection that is given to trout on parts of the American River, which should be closely watched, as it is rapidly becom- ing a resort of anglers. The Fish Com- missioners should give the matter their attention, as a pound of protection is worth all of the stocking that may be done in five years. He says: SAN FRANCISCO, August 21, 1896. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—S American River, having spent four weeks very \glmmuy visit{ng the various mines and in unting and fishing. The fishing is & matter 1 wish you would bring before the Fish Com- missioners through your paper, as the indi- vidual having charge of this matter at Biue Canyon reruses to act. During our first week fishing was good, as the trout took tne fly readily and therc being lots of fish visible in_ the deep holes. On Sun- | aay, August 2, 1o miners from the Pioneer miue came up the river with giant powder, using hali-sticks in all the big holes. One managed the powder, while the other stood below at the most convenient shallow spot icking up the dead fishes that driited down. Fhat Sa nday evening and the following morn- ing dozens of dead fish were floating in the eddfes or lying on the rocks, the result of a day's shooting. The miners packed off two sucks full of fish. The following Sunday they came down and repeated the operation. From that time on it was imvossible for us to get & fish from the Darer mine dam to Euchre Bar, a distance of about six miles. These men were spotted by all the people living along the river. Leo Dorer notified tne Fish Commissioner at Blue Canyon, giving the names of the guilty parties and adding that he would testify against the men in court, but the worthy Commissioner never showed up to arrest the men or even took notice of his com- munication, to my knowledge. The Harlan Brothers, who are running a mine on the river bottom close to the Dorer mill, saw the men shoot right in front of their claim and de- nounced the matter as being outrageous. I took & trip up the river one day above the Dorer mine dam and traveled from 5 A. M. until 2 P. a. fishing the river and got but four- teen fish. Upon inquiry I was toid that the Chinese go up the river fishing with giant powder and leave the canyon with baskets tull. Last September I went over this same rouna and saw fish in the water from two nches to two feet in length, and hundreds of them at that, but now it is almost impossible to see a trout in half a mile. John Tucker came up beiore I left, intend- ing to stay & month fishing. He came down three days after we had left, thoroughly dis- gusted. Two noted sportsmen went into the canyon from Towles, having got mules from Taylor. Idonot remember their names, but Taylor of Towles knows them, and upon reach- ing the river and hearing that shooting had been going on they hurried back and returned home the following morning in disgust. This locality is seven miles southeast oi Towles, and extends up the north fork of the American River at Euchre Bar. The scenery along this route is grand, and the American is about the finest stream in the State for trout. Tie Dorer mine dam is no obstruction to fish going up- stream, thero being sufficient water at all {imes running over for them 10 climb, The inhabitants along the river are loud in their denunciation of ‘“roasted-bait fishers,” this being the term applied to those who use giant powder. If the mine superintanaents could be in. duced not to employ a miner using powder it would be one way of storping the evil. E. A. Frenzel, superintendent of the Dorer, has inti- mated that he would discharge the first man of his crew caught using the stuff. The Chinese could be cluiht very easily if the Commissioners were on the alert or wanted rotect the trm;".lin ':: river. LB oping you will pardon my lengti s~ uuui’;n of this matter I will -close, gnl I promised the residents up there that 1 would do my utmost to bring this matter befcre the proper authorities. Iam, yours very truly, C. A. MULLER, 1326 Stanyan street. RO e GUN AND DOG. Wiid Ducks Are Belng Shipped to This City in Butter-Boxes. The Olympic and Empire Gun Clubs will hold their monthly shooting contests at inanimate targets to-morrow at Ala- meda Point. The Garden City Gun Club, under whose auspices the coming annual tournament of the California Inanimate Target Asso- ciation ‘will be held, has sabscribed $100 to the prize fund, and the prize com mittee bas secured enough cash from the San Jose people to raise the fund to $400. A meeting of the association will be held in the Olympic Club on Saturday evening next. The members of the Empire Gun Club have been classified as follows for the final thirty-bird shoot which will take place on the club’s grounds in Alameda on Sunday, the 27th inst.: First class—Billington 84 2.9, Sears 77 29, 0.

The prizes will be $40, $30, $20 and $10. There will be a 100-bird sealed handicap race with four moneys at the Olympic Gun Club shoot to-morrow. Captain Owens ‘will handicap his-men on the bssis of the shooting they have done during the sea- son. The ties will shoot off for 70 and 30 per cent of each money. The regular club shoot which will décide the season’s medals will be shot off in the firat 25 birds We have just returned irom our trip in the | Humbug ‘mining district, bordering on the | of the 100-bird race and back scores will be decided 1n the same race also. The season for the killing of deer closed in Alameda and Contra Costa counties on September 2, and in Los Angeles, Marin, Monterey, S8an Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Shasta and Ventura counties on the 1st inst. The season in Napa County closed last Saturday, and in San Benito and Santa Cruz counties it will be unlawful to kill deer or have venison in possession after Tuesday, the 15th inst. B If Game Warden Mogan is_still holding office and drawing monthly salary _ne should give some of his time and attention to _walcginz the Sacramento and San Jor quin river steamers thatare receiving 1 hunters at different points on the river butter-boxes in which are young mallard ducks. The birds are being shipped to commission-houses in this City. ¢ The Sportsmen’s Protective Association has decided to vote and work against the Judges of local courts who have refused to rrouacute offenders of the game and fish aws, President Ahern of the Sportsmen’s Protective Association states that he will interest himself in the arrest and prosecu- tion of some Vallejo and Benicia sports- men who are killing young ducks in the Suisun marshes and shipping them to iriends in this City. The twelve-men team match between the Empire Gun Club of Oakland and the Garden City Cyclers Gun Club of San Jose, which will take place at San Jose on the 20th inst., will be at known traps and unknown angles. - 3 Governor James H. Budd has offered a gold medal for the best kennel exhibited at the Stockton bench show. A _Sportsmen have commenced to condi- tion their dogs for the quail season. Jobn H. Wise, Collecior ot the Port, re- ceived recently from China two Mon- golian badger iound pups which he says will afford him great sport when they grow old enough to fight coons. The monthly meeting of the St. Ber- nard Club will be held next Wednesday evening in the office of the Breeder and Sportsman. All lovers of the noble dog are invited to be present. Syt g Doy FOOTBALL. Some Changes in Rules—Olympics Planning Many Games—Schedule for This City. The football rules for 1896, now amic- ably confined after last season’s split to one set, indorsed and accepted by all the big Eastern colleges, are out. No radical changes have been made in the old regulations. Momentum plays are prac- tically prevented; mass plays held more in check; the chances for a fair catch of a punted ball made much easier; interference with the center rush and the ball during an attempted snap-back discouraged by the introduction of a more stringent pro- hibitory rule; and a quarterback kick, where the ball is sent forward of the line of scrimmage, is interpreted as giving the zpfionenma fair and equal chance at the all, There are other minor changes, but they do not affect the play or change in the least the appearance of the game. . ““A fair cateh,”” to quote the new rule, “is a catch made direct rom a kick by one of the opponents, or from a punt-out by one of the same side, provided the man while making the catch makes a mark with bis heel and no other oi his side bhas touched the ball. If he be interfered with by an opponent who is off side, or if he be thrown after catching the ball, unless he has advanced beyond the mark, he shall be given fifteen yards.” | This fifteen-yard penalty will, it is thought, effectually prevent interference with attempted fair catches. The rule regulating momentum and mass plays says in part: Before the bail is put in E]Ay in s serim- mage should any player of the side which has the ball take more than one step in any di- rection he must come to a full stop before the ball is put in play. Exception—One man of the side having the ball may be in motion toward his own goal without coming to a full stop before the baltis putin play. When the ball is ?ut in play at least five players must be on the line of scrimmage. Five yards are given for interfering with the ball on the center rush during an at- tempted snap-back. The Olympics will begin their first prac- tice at 9:30 o’clock to-morrow forenoon on the Central Park grounds. Punting, run- ning about and catching will comprise this pre!iminary work. Monday and there- after the practice will be at 5 o'clock in the | aiternoon. The football squad is a larze one, made up of much excellent veteran | material drawn from several sources, but principally from the Stanford field. With Harreison and Code, Stanford’s old rival quarters, both trying for quarterback on the Olympic team, the personnel of the final eleven is sure to be high class, for there are other cases of good players be- tween whom there is no choice for a par- ticular position. A long series of games now contemnvlated wiil, however, give all these men a chance to play. In addition to the matches already scheduled with Stanford, Berkeley and Re- liance Jack Sheehan, the newly elected i Olympic manager, said yesterday that he will try to get games with the= Stockton and Sacramento Athletic Club elevens, St. Mary’s College, Santa Clara College, Multnomah of Portland, and the Butte team. A holiday tour of Southern Cali- | fornia is also a possibility. Practice games are to be played with the Peerless team and the Crocker team of this City, and Sheehan says that he hopes to arrange grnctim gumes with Stanford forthe bene- t of both teams. H. 0. Stickney, now in_this City, will, if he remains here, enter vigorously into the life on the Olympic gridiron, both as player and coach. He played at Harvard along in ’88 and '89 and since then has played on the teams of the Boston Athletic Association and the Chicago Athletic As- sociation, and iast season coached and put in fine condition the University of Wis- consin’s eleven.

The annual international match be- tween Canada and the United States com- menced on the 4th inst. at the German- town (Pa.) grounds. The scoring on both sides was particularly meager. At the close of the first day Canada had scored 87 and the United States 52, the former also losing one wicket of their second in- nings for 28. The Canadians had a fairly representative team, but the United States eleven was wholly made up of Philadelphia players, and only one of them managed to reach double figures. The close of the Lancashire-Australian match at Liverpool attracted some 8000 spectators. The only otber trans-Atlan- tic chirp of interest is regarding the finish of the Surrey and Somersetshire contest at Taunton. Score: Somerset 241, Surrey 240. The victory was due to the superb batting of Tyler and Robson, for whom a collection of 20 guineas was taken up on the field. i The famous Scarborough festival opened with a match between Yorkshire and an eleven of the south. The All Oregon team arrived at their Portland home last Wednesday, after a delightiul if not.too successful trip in British Columbia. The main advantage of the trip, as Captain Lawrence expressed |it, is that' the men now understand what ‘real cricket against cricketers means. The returned travelers are to pl the asso- ciated banks at Mulinomah field to-day. Last Sunday the banks team played and defeated an eleven styled the Port- land Wanderers, who were uPtlinod by - H. Kinross, a cricketer well known in California. - There is only one local cup match DR. SHAW of Sacramento, Who Has Had Remarkable Success in Deer-Shooting. scheduled for to-morrow. It is between the Pacifics and Californias, and will be played at Golden Gate. UMPIRE. ———— YACHTING. A Second Race Between the Cathe- rine and Fawn Talked Of. Now that the Catherine has defeated the Fawn in the Macdonough cup race, there is no end of gossiping in yachting circles. Ttis being noised sbout that a race over the channel course between these two boats will be sailed just for the glory of the thing, to determine which is really the better boat. It seems that the Fawn was somewhat strained while being towed over to the starting line, and. as a consequence her seams were opened to such an extent that the cabin had water in it up to the bunks. In this shape the boat sailed the race, and had to keep constantly luffing to maintain her equilibrium, as'the water in the cabin was nothing but dead weight, and every timc the boat tried to hang on, the water seeking its llevel caused her to bury herself to her cabin windows. L Gutte, commodore of the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club, says the course over which the perpetual challenge cup race was held was a very bad course to exhibit sailing skill. “The stretch is almost entirely before the wind, and anything that will float can make a showing on this kind of a course,” hesaid. *‘The race should be held on the | channel course, then the merits of both | boats could be equally determined.” | . E. A. von Schmidt has sent the follow- ing open letter to THE CALL: Now that the yachis Fawn and C-therlne‘ have each vanquished the other, in like time, I will match mv beat against either yacht, the race to be sailed over & triangular course, | Or I will sail either boat a series of races over the same style of course. —— COURSING. Interest In the Big Meeting at South Huron, North Dakota. Coursing men are looking forward with much interest to the result of the meeting of the Aberdeen Coursing Club, which be- | gins at South Huron, N. Dak., on the 29th inst. The Californ’a representatives will be from the kennels of Robinson & Peyton and J. H. Rossiter. The latter has two likely candidates for first honors in Way- | farer and Arapahoe, the latter being well | thought of for the puppy stake. Late ad- vices state that the California dogs are showing well in their training. ‘The drawing for to-morrow’s running at Ingleside took place on Thursday even- ing at Delta Hall, thirty-six dogs being | drawn, as follows: T.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 10.—The dove season throughout Sacramento County is almost over as far as shooting on pass is con- cerned, as the birds are flocking and desertin, the water-holes. Sportsmen are giving their guns a rest, and are preparing for long days among the sunburnt stubble-flelds and thick cbaparral in pursult of the swiftly fiying quail. Charles Flohr and W. Hess made a trip 10 Arcade this week and bagged fifty-six and forty-eight doves respectively, and one or two others report passable sport. The Henrietta Club reports having had a glorious ti 12‘5‘5 outing of a week sin: the pa; Sty birds and had potpies lllflpl"wl :!onf They have another outing in prospect the 20 prosgont for fall sport be e prospect for Tt was never better.

Fountain of Nebraska, who bas been several months in the | Sierras, has returned, and claims to have had a very successful trip, with lots of good fishing | in the Truckee River. At the last meeting of the Capitol City | Wheelmen’s club three new members were elected and four new. propositions received. Notice was given of intention to start a move- ment for the formation ot & good roads league | after the manner of the Southern California division of the Good Roads League. rhe bicycle roads leading into the surrounding country are reporied in excellent condition, and the | club recommends their extension. 3 The racing contingency of the club did not meet with the expected success at the Stockton meeting; in fact, the riders were never in it. They attribute their non-success largely to the | tact that the water failed to sgree with them and also to the fact that | they were handicapped by not hav- ing proper grounds to work out on before the race, as the track at Agricultural Park in this | on to the lines. city 1s in constant use.

Tais g Visalla Sporting News. VISALIA, CAL, Sept. 9.—Every visitor from | abroad that has visited Kings River Canyon, Mineral King, Little Kern and Mount Whit- | ney, and I may also inelude the honorable Fish | Commissioners of California, will be delighted | to know that & new sportsman club has been organized in Tulare County. Recently & num- ber of wide-awake and progressive citizens of Eshom Valley concluded that they could be instrumental in stocking the sireams in their vicinity if they were organized to do such work, and a meeting was held snd the “Eshom Valley Fish and Rifle Club,” was the result. The following directors were elected: R. L. Hill, C. T. Ham, T. B, East, W, H. Hart and W. D. Pattee. The officers elected are T. B. East, resident; G. W. Hill, vice-president; Frank ill, treasurer, and S. L. N. Ellis, secretary. About two years ago the Visalia Sportsman Club planted some fish in the main north fork of the Kaweah below Eshom Valley and also in Redwood Creek. They have made a most remarkable growth, being now fully twelve inches long. It is the intention of the new club to plant fish in the main north fork of the Kaweah, Redwood Creek, Stony Creek and Dorst Creek. On Sunday last Frank Hill and 8. L. N. Elli of the Eshom Valley Fish nnd Rifle Club, ac- companied by Claude Van Valer of Visaiia and Leonard Ellis of Elbow, returned fiom | Whitney Creek with a small number of golden | trout. which they planted in the north fork of | the Kaweah above Eshom. Valiey. The fish | were carried in ¢ans on pack horses via Min- | eral Kan and across the headwaters of the | main fork of the Kaweah and the Mable fork. | They were on the road seven days. | Mr. Ellis is confident that the golden trout | will retain their rich color in the river where they are planted. As proof that they will he | says he caught a golden trout in Redwood | Creek this summer, where they were placed | fifteen years ago. The Kern River trout are | also said to be affected by the country through | which that river runs, yet when the trout are | planted, as they have been in many streams on this side of Farewell Gap, they lose none of their characteristics. The gentiemen at the head of the new club are thorough sportsmen. and as such are en- titled to the confidence and support of the State Fish Commission. They will not only | plant fish in the streams above designsted, | ut they will see that thef arc protected. 1 At the regular monthly shoot of the San Joaquin Vailey Gun Ciub J. W. Shiell won_the “A” class medal with twenty straight. John Suss, with a score of fifteen, won the B class | medal. i Messrs. Shiell, McVeagh, Wood, “Fox,” | Armitage and ‘‘Sensaboy’’ were selectea as the | team to enter the State shoot. CARROLL. o SR Portland Sporting News, PORTLAND, OR., Sept. 11.—Dr. F.
