THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1896 NEWS OF SPORTS. Interesting Items for Wheelmen, Anglers, Marksmen, Boxers and Others. in wheeling circles the event of greatest importance is the five-mile road race which will be beld to-morrow on the road to San Jose between the Olympic and Garden City Cycling clubs. The boxers are quiet, comparatively, as | the excitement attending politics has thrown & damper on fisticuffs and other sports. But there are two entertainments, nevertheless, on the slate for next month. The sportsmen are winding up the trap- shooting season and making ready for the season when duck and quail can be law- fully killed. In the following columns will be found the very latest sporting news: THE WHEELMEN. Entries and Handicaps for the Olymplc-Garden City Roadrace. It was a very clever idea that the Olym- pic Club Wheelmen anc the Garden City Cyeclers hit upon when they decided to hold a joint five-mile roadrace, as is evi- denced by the interest that is being taken | in such an event to be run to-morrow | morning over a new course, starting near | Milpitas and finishing at the junétion of the S8an Jose and Gish roads. The novelty | of the thing and the friencly rivalry be- | tween the riders of the two big clubs led to quite a large entry list, and if all come to the scratch there will be forty-two starters, who have veen allotted handicaps varying from nothing to three minutey, as follows: J.A. Vaughan, 3 min.; P.Schwab, W. Mackie, { i 20; D. Baker, L. Whiting, Johnson, H. Chase, H. G. Edwards, E. A. Helmore, H. H. Cosgri : R._R. Johnson, J. A. Code, M. L. Espinosa, 1:50 Williston, H. C. Ramsay, G. A, Han" Ed Ferguson, R. R. Bridgeman, O. 35: L. H. Smith, Bruce Cottle, C. F. ; A. J. Clark Lemmon, Westlake, E. z Joseph Delmas, D. ¥, W. J. Christ, 1:00; Al Hubbard, J. D. Lawrence, R. H. Hammond, :45; J. C. Smith, R. R. Shearman, Gus Navlet, George E. Kroet: ; J. E. Wing, C. M. Smith, Georgé W. Tantau, scratch. The race is scheduled to start promptly at 11 o’clock. The Olympic Club Wheel- men will have a run dowu from here, tak- ing the 6:30 A. M. boat, and the Garden ¥ Chatles A. Craft, a Crack Amateur of the Bay City Wheelmen. City Cyclers will ride out from San Jose, leaving at 9. The race has attracted the auvtention of the other clubs and a large number of riders intend going down to witness it. After the race there will be a barbecue and the balance of the day will be spent at Alum Rock. The officials will be: Al Col, referee; H Russ, Osen, Swain, Hunter and Desimone, judges; Wetmore, Hadenfeldt, Alexander, Bpring, Nash, Bailey and Montealegre, timers; Spillane, Muiler, Meherin, Butler, Jury, Chase, Scott and Platt, scorers; Stratton, Hahn and Lipsett, starters; Plagemann and O'Brien, marshals. Tantau and Wing of the Olympics ride together from the scratch mark, and they have a score to settle, as the former beat Wing in the last five-mile race and Wing doesn’t intend it shali be repeated to- morrow. There are few club runs scheduled for to-morrow, a great many of the road riders being in training for the Asspciatea Clubs’ annual ten-mile race on October 11. E. L. Armstrong, president, and E. W. Simmons, secretary, of the Calistoga Roaa Club, have issued invitations for a water- melon run, to be held this evening. H. H. White, R. M. Welch, G. H. Strat- ton, A. P. Swain, E. B. Jerome and J. F. Hancock, 2 committee of the Associated Clubs, are arranging for the annual thea- ter party of the association, to be held | early in October. Los Angeles has another wheeling or- zanization, to be known as the South Side Cycling Club, The charter-roll contains thirty-two names, the officers being: H. Cooper, president; W. Austin, vice-presi- dent; Robert Campbell, secretary-treas- urer; Ralph Hamlin, capiain, The Golden Gate Cycling Ciub will make a_century run to-morrow, led by Captain W. J. Black, leaving the clubrooms at 6 A. M. A smoker will be one of the forms of entertaining the members in October. Ward von Ti g;r. Dr. Henry R. Bell, H. R. Mann, J. B. Raddington and Mrs. J. B. Raddington of this City_recently ‘joined the League of American Wheelmen. The league now has 65,149 members, of which number 2034 are from California, 1624 from the north division and 410 from the south division. There are 739 league clubs in the United States, that is, clubs of whose membership 75 per cent or over kelong to the L. A. W. The applications for membership of the East Oakland Wheelmen of Oakland and the Capital City Wheeimen of Sacramento will be presented to the Associated Clubs for consideration at their mext meeting, Saturday evening, October 4, at the rooms of the Bay City Wheelmen. 3 Walter F. Foster, the well-known Olym- pic racer, has returned from an extended trip through Southern California. he Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club wili give & dance at its clubrooms Friday even- ing, October 2, the invitations for which will be limited and very much 1n demand. H. A. Goddard and E. S. Battles of the Bay City Wheelmen are training hard for their match race Sunday, the 27th, over the San Leandro-Haywards course. The members of the San Francisco Road Club have no regular run called for to- morrow, but a good many will ride to San Jose to see the finish of the Olympic-Gar- den City road race. The latest bulletin of Chairman Welch of the racing board is as follows: Bulletin No. 25. September 18, 1896. Sanctions granted—September 24, Nevada State Fair, Reno, Nev. ; September 28 to Octo- ber 3. La Grande Cyeling Club, La Grande, Or. Transferred to professional class—E. S. Bar- bee, Great Falls, Mont.: E. W. Davies, Everett, Wash.; E. P. Gainey, Seattle, Wash.; W. H. Palmer and R. T. Walsh, San Diego, Cal.; W. H. Norman and J. D. Loudermilk, Los Angeles, Cal., clause b.; J. Henry Lillie, Lodi, Cal., own request. Suspended—For competing in Sunday races at Santa Monica, Cal.,, W. H. Norman and J. D, Louaermilk, Los Angeles, Cal., permanently. R. M. WELCH, Member National Racing Board. There will be about a dozen teams en- tered in the Bay City Wheelmen’s tan- dem race on the 27th. In the race each team will start three minutes apart and ride unpaced, with a sealed handicap. The event should be very interesting, Chief Consul Kerrigan has arranged a special night for members of the Leazue of American Wheelmen at the Mechanics’ Fair on Friday evening, September 25. Entries for the race meet to be held at Eureka on the 23d inst. close with Official Handicapper Smyth this evening. A number of the loeal professional riders will compete. There will be an important meeting of the Wheelmen's Municipal League this evening at 441 Golden Gate avenue at8 o'clock. The guestion and prospects of the baggage bill will be the principal sub- ject for debate; also the proposition to nold a monster wheelmen’s parade in be- haif of the same, which latter suggestion should and will probably receive a very culd reception from the delecates after their experience in the cycle parade of July 25. SpALDING. e THE GUN. Slaughtering Ducks Near Chico. Trap-Shooting Tournament. To-morrow the Reliance Gun Club of Qakland will hold a final club shoot and free-to-all shoot at the grounds near Web- ter street, and the Lincoln Club will have an outing at Greenbrae, during which several contests in live-bird shooting will be decided. The Golden Gate Gun Club will give its first tourney at its customary place of meeting. October 2and 3 the State Sportsmen’s Association will meet at San Bruno, where live-bird shooting will be the order of the days’ sport, and on October 4 and 5 the great aruficial tournament of the Inani- mate Target Association wili be held at San Jose. This will come pretty near winding up the trap-shooting for the sea- son, as on October 15 sportsmen can tramp the hills in quest of quail, or take a se- creted position on the margin of some vond on the marshes and blaze away to their beart’s content at wild ducks of divers breeds and colors. A. M. Barker, president of the Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club, has issued the following circular to sportsmen : The members of the Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club, under whose auspices our next tournament will be held, hereby send greet- ings and call your attention to the following facts: The prize committee has secured £400 in cash, which, added to the amount of coin given by the association, will make at least $1200, to be distributed at our coming shoot, which is far in advance of any previous amount given in cash prizes. This taken with our mény valuable trophies and merchandise prizes will make & grand total. There will doubtless be a system of dividing prizes adopted, insuring a wider distribution than heretofore, not permitting so much to go to one shooter. This matter will be thorough- Iv discussed at & meeting of the tournament committee with a view to the weliare of the greatest number. The grounds will be located a few blocks west of Hotel Vendome. Cars pass the hotel and land you at the traps in five minutes. We will be glad to secure accommodations for any and all clubs who so desire. Five sets of electric pull traps will b2 used. Men will do the trapping, and competent judges and referees will be secured. Bring large delegations from every club and make this tournament a world-beater. There will be an ample supply of ammuni- "l:m of every kind on the grounds for sale cheap. The programme will be issued as seon as possible, A. M. BARKER, President Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club. According to THE CaLL’s Sacramento correspondent, whose weekly article ap- pears on this page, the residents of Chico and that vicinity have been shooting wild ducks for some days past. As there is no one to interfere with the hunters it is. presumed that they will continue to bag the wild game which the law protects until October 15. The officers of Tehama and Colusa_counties shoula read up the law in this particular and teach the transgressors of it a lesson in duck- shooting that will prove so instructive as to remain indelibly stamped on their memories. The Supervisors of any county cannot legally open the season for shooting game of any description prior to the time the State law takes effect. The Supervisors can shorten the season in their respective counties after October 15, when it will be lawiful to shoot small game, such as ducks, quail, ete. Professional hunters should remember that the season when wild duck may be sold is yet far off; but then, there are many birds being smuggled into this City under the very noses of the Game Warden and Deputy Fish and Game Com- missioners. The following letter to THE CALL from Oregon speaks for itself: ELK HoTEL, ELK CITY, Or., Sept. 10. A party comprising Mr. and Mrs. George B, Roop of Gilroy Hot Springs, Misses Kitty and Genevieve Nolan, Frea W. Tallant, J. Homer Fritch, George Kingston, William H. Cun- ningham and William F. Shattuck of San Francisco are passing several days here on their way to Albany on an elk-hunt expedi- tion. They have landed as many as 250 trout & day. Mr. Tallant, being over-zealous to prove his piscatorial abilities, lost his balance and was soon carried away by the impetusof the river. Had it not been for the heroic efforts of the ladies the Country Club would- now be monrning one of its most popular members. The party continue their trip to- morrow. Frank Lecosta and William Brown, mempbers of the Tamalpais Gun Ciub of San Francisco, killed two bucks last Wednesdzy a week ago. The hunting territory of this club is from the summit of Tamalpais to the oce: nd includes about 17,000 acres. There has been good hunting there this year, and seventeen deer in all have fallen to the rifle. There are two trout streams and quail in abun- dance. This club comprises a member- ship of about twenty-six. —_— THE ANGLER, Winding Up the Season on Eel River—The Black Bass. , There are six weeks more open to anglers who fancy trout-fishing, and quite frequently the last month of the year proves to be the best. % F. H. Ileed, with Messrs. Bogard and Emmons of the Fly-casting Club, took a flying trip to Boca last Saturday. On Sunday they went down the river as far as Floriston and Mr. Reed caught two 3)4-pound trout on minnows. La Fonge caught a five-pounder on a minnow, which he states was the ;fimut fish he ever landed. Bogard and Emmons had only fair luck, as the trout are still feed- ing on the bottom. Thomas Flyun of the Wasp returned from Boca recently. He contends that Boca is an angler’s paradise and that John McDonald is a prince of good fellows. Fiynn caught the river when the Tahoe gaves were closed and he had royal sport. Green, Morehouse and Jones have just arrived from Duncans Mills. They report that the black bass have Tflt feeding and that very little sport will be had during the balance of the season, which wiil not end until January. Frank Hofling shipped ht fine bnsu’.’{nz week from Duncaps M%lls to a friend. Frank did not say how he got them, but it is rumored that there are some young boys living at Duncans Mills who are expert bass caichers. John Butler received a splendid mess of rainbow trout yesterday from Stony Brook, in Colusa County. They were shipped at the suggestion of Fred Drink- house, who was on a visit to that part of the country. 3 1f a heavy rainstorm should arrive be- fore the end of the month the anglers who have planned a big fishing excursion to the Eel River will ges sadly disappointed. Don’t wait for tod’much rain, gentlemen. The resignation of Fish Commissioner Murdoca was a surprise to his many firiends, who expected him to remain on eck. The black bass that are being caught in the Spring Valley Water Company’s lakes taste strongly of decayed vegetation, and in fact are unfit to eat. If the tonsof dead weeds were removed the water and fishes would improve in flavor. e S i THE BOXERS. Ciub Fights That WIiIl Take Place Next Month—The Big Guns. The Occidental Athletic Club is san- guine of having a full house on the even- ing ot October ‘8, when Tom Tracey, the clever Australian, will try conclusions with George Green, the Olympic Club favorite. Green is now in the pink of con- dition and proposes to take only very light exercise until the first of next month, when he will put on the finishing touches. Tracey will find Green a more clever man than Billy Gallacher, but not such d wicked fighter as the lad who re- fused to meet the Olympian recently under the auspices of the National Club. Agnew and Kelly, who will “‘put up” the star event of the evening during the Armory Club’s entertainment, should give the members a good show. They are both stiff punchers and although Agnew is liked by the talent on account of the ex- cellent showing he made against Billy Akers there are many of the sports who fancy the “‘spider,” who is just about as artful as the webmaker. The pugilists must weigh in at 135 pounds at noon on the day of the fight. The winner will receive $600 and the loser $200. Jimmy Anthony will have some trouble disposing of tricky Danny Mahoney, who has been subsiituted for Fay, whose heart failed him when he was called upon to sign articles. Tom Ooconey will, it is thought, be easy game for the chunky Australian, who has contracted to stop both fighters. Anthony will go on with Mahoney first in a six-round bout and then he will have a try at Cooney after the eight-round mill between Billy Shannon and Billy Lewis, which is not looked upon as being much ofa drawing card. Those two last-named knights of the mittens will receive $400—a most liberal offer, by the way, consid- ering. If Anthony succeeas in stopping his men he will receive $250 for each contest, and should he fail he will be presented with the “munificent” sum of $50. But Jimmy is sanguine of success, and unless Mahoney gives him too hard a run in the selling race for bantams the Australian should certainly dispose of Cooney in short order. The National Club has not yet succeeded in capturing the Sharkey and Corbett match, but Sharkey and Corbett came near capturing the National Club, which institution had promised them a $20,000 purse. But the champion get too many irons in the fire and as a result he is now groomed in a hot box between the Aus- tralian and the sailor. The National Club recently offered Corbett and Snarkey $10,000 for a ten-round contest in this City, but James is still trying to figure out why the Nationsl Club cannot bid higher. He certainly 1s foolish to let an offer as good as this pass through his fingers, as it may be his last chance to pocket a cool $10,000, which sum be can make in thirty seconds or less by besting the man of small eyes ana big muscles, who has been recently dubbed in the East “Picture Gallery Tom’’ owing t& his strong predilection for photographs of himself. As to the meeting between Corbettand Fitzsimmons it can be fittingly styled a paper chase, as the result will be a run across country with one trying not to catch up with the other. . — - CRICKET CHIRPS. The Approaching End of the Harrl- son Cup Fight. But nine more interclub cricket matches for the Hunter Harrisen cup remain to be played. The first of these will come off to-morrow at Alameda, the Alameda and Bohemian eclubs being the contestants. The game is likely to be a very interesting one, for should the Alameda men come off victorious it might affect the ultimate order of the competing clubs. At present the Bohemians are it the lead, closely fol- lowed by the Pacifics, the Alamedas and Californias being fixed in the van. By the depufiure yesterday of H. H. Richardson_for Banta Monica the Pacifics suffer an irreparable loss, for he is un- questionably the best bat in the associ tion. His 208 made against the Calif nias some weeks ago was the highest score ever made on the coast, beating the pre- vious record held by Captain W. Robert- son by justtwo runs. Oniy last Sunday he made 104 (and retired) in the Pacific- California match at Golden Gate, and sev- eral other big scores are to be found against his name. The English season is being wound up by the customary cricket *‘festivals.”” By latest mailed reports Scagborough was in- terested over a fight between M. C. C. and Ground and Yorkshire. At Hastings the Australians met the South of England vet- erans and in the first inning scored 222, their opponents making 154 for eizht wick- ets. In the latter score Champion W. G. Grace contributed 53 in his old-time man- ner. The Australians leit Southampton for New York on the 8th inst. Thdir fixtures on thi_ side are as follows: Sept. 18, vs. Philadelphia; Sept. 23, vs. New Jersey Athletic Club; Sept. 25, vs. Philadelphia Oct. 2, vs. Philadelph: Oct. 7, vs. C cago. W. B. Webster, late of the Bohemians, -will keep wicketSin the New Jersey match. The Australians will spend two clear days in this City prior to their departure for Auckiand on the Mariposa. Why should not some kind of a game be ar- ranged by ‘‘the powers that -be” of the association ? 3 Last Saturday the All Oregon team layed Portland at Multnomah field, Port- and. After ‘the former had made 101 for two wickets, Captain Lawrence, who had 54 not out, called the innings. He risked too much, apparently, for the Portland men went in and made 103 for the loss of a single wicket, thus winning with flying colors, The Yorkshire team are to present a valuable tstimonial to Lora Hawke, who has captained them through eleven sea- sons of clumgionahip honors. Space prohibits the publication this week of an interesting letter on local cricket just received. UMPIRE. cnboet T : FOOTBALL. Olymplc and Rellance Expect to Win the Early Games. The two big athletic clubs have entered upon the football training season wiih more than usual zeal and more than ordi- nary material from which to form formid- able elevens, The university teams may CROSS, the Stanford Coach: \/? ",fuu“‘m‘.l { i | N ;\‘h o ‘\ “We must win that game.” well beware, as both Reliance and Olympic have started early and with a larger percentage than ever before of players fresh from the college gridiron. These college veterans will not permit the suggestion that they have so soon become back numbers, and they are out deter- mined to win the early games, when they know that they wili have a certain ad- vantage of training over the collegians. There is a pretty side coniest on between the athletic clubs to retan all the most desirable men. Reliance and Olympic both swear they have Sexton, tackle for Olympic last season. mas went over to the enemy across the bay, but Manager Sheehsn still has hopes of winning back Nahl, whose father was one of the founders of the Olympic Club. Both Captain Walton and Manager Sheehan are now out hunting for Conde Jones, the old Stanford hero and phenom- enal kicker, whose college football days were ended by a series of broken bones. Jones is living in this City. “The Olyrm:pics,” said Manager Jack Sheehan yesterday, ‘‘are practicing regu- larly every evening now at Central Park from '5:30 on, with Stickney of Harvard coaching. The work is light, but the men are doing a good deal of running. ney is paying particular sttention to Weldon and Theerkauf, both of whom are punting well. The men take their meals at a cafe near by and each one pays for his own, as the club is not maintaining a regular training-table. ““Thedaily practice beginning next week will alternate between the Peerless Club team and our own second eleven. I hope also to arrange some ganies for Saturdays and Sundays with outside clubs in addition to the big matches already scheduled with Stanford, Berkeley and Reliance. The universities have agreed this year not to send their second elzvens against either of the big athletic club teams; so every game will be a match of the best of each, and not in any sense a practice contest. I think both Reliance and Olympic, with their unusually fine prospects, can beat the university teams 1 the first matches, and that is why we are doing all this early training.” Captain Harry Walton of the Reliance yesterday said: “Every night this week we've had twenty men out for practice on the Piedmont grounds, and that's a good sign so early in the season, After our exercise we go to the Piedmont baths, and later to a restaurant on Broadway. On Tuesday and Thursday we practice with St. Mary’s College, and on three other evenings of the' week play against our second eleven. Reliance will have a fairly heavy line, but light men back of the line, so we will naturally play an open running game, -relying a good deal upon fast backs.” Following is the material from which two mighty teams are to be formed: OLYMPICS.

Many of the other men are familiar as Olympic players, while Hobbs, Sheehy and” Stow are comparatively undeveloped bat prom- ising materal, z Of the Reliance candidates, Wells isa new-found giant; Middlemas is - the Olympic guard of last season; Nelson is captain of the Oakland High School team; Doesch _is from the Portland Athletic Club; Nahl is the Olympic quarter of last season; and Carter is from Stanford. The Arlett brothers are new men, the heavier one giving promise of becoming an excellent ground-gainer and line- bucker. The other men are too wefl kno':n as football-players to need com- ment. St. Mary’s College: will play its first game of the teason next Saturday, when it will meet the Santa Rosa High School team in this City, probably at the Central Park grounds. After this game the man- ager of Bt. Mary’s hopes to secure matches with the SBacramento High School and Santa Clara College. All these games will be piayed on Saturdays. The St. Mary’s College players are beine coached by Wyckoff, the Reliance fullback, assisted by Frick, ex-captain of the Reliance. Six- teen men turn out regularly for practice, but the team will not be named until the day before the coming game. Stanford men are enthusiastic oyer the coming of Cross as coach. It was he who lowered Robert Edgren's colo@when the DUniversity of California team made its Eastern tour last year. His record with™ the 16-pound bammer is 135 feet, and with the 16-pound shot 37 feet 9 inches. As large as_he is, Cross can sprint 100 yards in 11 seconds. In appearance women would call Cross bandsome, but what the football men wili think more o e is big and cengenial, enthusiastie, yet with an air of deter- mination that makes an assertion from him seem no idle boast. When he was asked the time Butter- :orth. the Berkeley coach, will come out, r%plhd: ell, you see, Frank and I are in the Nabl and Middle- | Stick- | same fix. Our girls are in the East. I guess Frank will delay his departure as long as possible, though I believe he is to be here about October 5.” e THE KENNEL. Dogs That WIll Be Seen at the Stockton Bench Show.

Match at Ocean View Between Move. On and St. Cloud. Interest in the meeting at Ocean View to-morrow has been largely increased by the match race between Move On, a snappy little Skyball-Valley Queen pup, and St. Cloud, J. Lennon’s fast pup out ot ‘Wattelbloom by Lord Clifton. The match is for $25 a side, best two out of three, and as both of the youngsters have been in hard training since the con- test was arranged a splendid run is ex- pected. Tim Cronin’s black and white bitch Rosa B has been missing since September 9 and her owner believes that she has been stolen. Rosa was one of the veteran coursing man’s favorite dogs and heis very anxious to recover possession of her. The drawing for to-morrow’s coursing at Ingleside took place on Thursday even- ing at Delta Hall and resulted in thirty- six dogs being matched as follows: H. Spring’s Premier vs. J. Laskey’s Gallop- ing; Robinson & Peyton’s Red Rover vs. M. 0'Connor's Lady Clifton; E. Dunn’s Snowbird vs. Richmond kennel’s Uncle Sam: Robinison & Peyton’s Carmen vs. P. Ryan’s Gripman; P.

Terrell to make any kind of & showing against the trotting-horse Plunk- ett at the State Fair track on Wednesday on his bicycle has been & source of grear disappoint- ment to the local lovers of the wheel, all of whom were greatly interested in the result of the race. They, however, attribute Terrell’s defeat to the fact that while the track was con- sidered fast for horses it was altogether too soft for a bicycle, as in many spots Terrell sank over his rims, and claimed that the going was like wheeling through heavy sand, particu- larly was this the case on reaching the three- quarter pole. Up to this point Terrell had en- )c]ounmed no difficulty in keeping up wiih the orse. . The cinder paths of the Capital City Wheel- men arein excellentcondition and are greatly gllronlbed. On the Folsom path the other a4y a green wheelman made twenty-two miles in one hour and forty minutes, and then re- turned over the same distance in one hour and forty-three minutes. The iccal gunstores are more than busy at the present time, as sportsmen are making preparations for the coming fall sport, which n this county promises to be betier than it has been known in many years. From' the lakes and marshes south of the city reports have been received to the effect that ducks and snipe are plentiful, and the same may be said of the Washington Lake district, J. C. Myers and brothers of Dixon are in town making preparations for & hunting ex- cursion into Southern Oregon, it being their intention to spend at least two monthson Klamath Lake in small-game hunting. Pinc- ton of Winters is also here, preparing for an outing trip. He intends going up on the Hum- boldt for a month’s deer hunt. Parties from Chico state that the duck- hunting season in their district is now on, and that all who have been out have had excellent luck, birds being plentiful and fat. Local sporismen have been 100 taken up with the racing events at the park auring the past two weeks to find time for hunting, especially as the doves are flocked, preparatory to migrat- ing. 'inn coming boxing-match between L. A. Payne of this city and Stewart Carter of the Olympic Club, before the Rio Vista Club, is engaging all the attention of the athletes and they are making preparations to attend in a body, having engaged s special steamer to convey them down the river. Payne is by no means fit for the contest, as he has been work- ing too hard in the bicycle line and has not had time to get in fighting trim, in conse- quence his friends are notiu t : best feather over the oulcome, as they fully realize that Carter is & good man, who has made their favorite look to his laurels on two former oc- casions. Fishing and tennis are at a standstillat resent, but will be booming as soon as the air comes to an end. RUTHERFORD. D Visalla Sporting News. Editor Call—Since my last letter the newly organized Eshom Valley Gun and Fish Club has received and planted 50,000 young trout. Most of the fish were planted in the north fork of the Kaweah River, just below Eshom Valley, and the balanee in Redwood Creek, in Red- wood Canyon. Last Friday when Messrs. Ellis and Pattee were informea by J. Sub Johnson, the popular the fish would arrive in the evening, both of them were like & fish out of water, but in a few minutes calmed down, and it was decided that Mr. Pattee should start out for Eshom Valley and have pack horses in roadiness to transfer the cans on the arrival of Mr. Ellis with the consignment in the wagon. Since the organization of the club, Eshom ‘Valley is now seriously thinking of branching out as a summer resort. It was my good for- tune to meet that grand old G. A. R. veteran, bear-hunter, etc., Tom East, and in a chat he informed me that up to date six applications had been received by the club for cottages next summer. Last Tuesday the local Examiners were de- feated by the Alerts of Alameda by a score of 11to 2. Our boys have filed & protest on the ground of unfair decisions by Umpire Lowrie. He is also accused of using signais to the Alerts’ batsmen. ~The regular nine play at Lindsey next Sun. day. A rattling game is expected.” CARROLL. M UREXPECTED VT, Members of the Board of Health Inspecting Water Supplies. Park and Castro Heights Reservoirs Are Sampled for Rigid Analysis. Suddenly and without any unnecessary flourish of trumpets the water committee of the Board of Health, consisting of Drs. Hart and Williamson, Professor Wenzell, the chemist, and Dr. Spencer, the bacteri- ologist, made a descent on the park and Sutro Heights water supplies yesterday afternoon and procured a auantity of samples that will be analyzed chemically and microscopically for imvpurities that may be detrimental to health. The board -decided on this inspection some time ago, but in order to throw the owners of the supplies off their gunard and keep them from concealing the true state of affairs by a temporary cleanup for the occasion, tie visit was put off until a favorable opportunity presented itself, the party being called together at a moment’s notice yesterday. The park supply, from appearances, was not above suspicion, but the members ex- pressed no ideas on the subject, seemingly preferring to wait until the analysis de- termines the quality. At Eighteenth and Collingwood streets a reservoir was found where the water was clearly stagnant, and old boots and cans were plentiful.
