THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1896. SPORTS OF THE WEEK News From the Woods and Field, the Track, the the Stream. Local wheelmen are interested in the ten-mile race which will be held to-mor- row over the Fruitvale and Haywards course. Over 100 starters are expected to be in line when the starting time arrives. On Thursday the season for quail and duck shooting will commence, and some very exciting times are promised when the so-called poachers will conflict with the keepers on the Suisun marshes. The oarsmen are looking forward to some great racing on Thankseiving day, when a regatta will be held on the Ala- meda side of the bay. ‘What promises to be a sharply contested game of foocball is the meeting this after- noon between the Stanford and Olympic | teams at Central Park. . The lovers of coursing are training their charges for the great annual coursing meeting near Merced, which will be held next month. ¢ In boxing the next event of importance will be heid under the anspices of the | Armory Club at Woodward’s Pavilion. st My e THE WHEELMEN. Entries and Handlcaps for the As- | soclated Clubs’ Ten-Mile Race. The third annual ten-mile roadrace of the California Associated Cycling Clubs | will be held over the Fruitvale-Haywards course to-morrow morning, and its im- portance from the wheelmen’s point of view is so great that there are no other attractions scheduled for the day. There is an immense entry list, some 110 starters, including ail the best road-riders irom the | different clubs in this part of the State, | and the race justly ranks as the second greatest cycling event of the coast, the 100-mile relay race being the first.

The prizes are ex- ceptionally valuable. and there are many of them. The arrangements at the finish will be such that there will be ample room for riders and officials, and a large force of marshals will keep the course clear.

Welch of .the National racing board states that there will be no winter circuit of Eastern riders here this year. This is not surprising to those who are in touch with the situation and confirms the expression of opinion made in THE CaLL some weeks ago. A cycling wriler on a morning paper came out with what he thought was a big story about that time, telling how Bald, Cooper, Gardiner and in fact every Eastern ride~ of note whose name he could think of was coming here to race this winter. THE CALL then pub- lished an article showing the impractica- bility of such a visit for the men, and that there was little or no likelihood of their coming. This is now confirmed by a letter received by Mr. Welch of the racing board, which states that the Morgan & Wright team (which is made up of eignt of the ‘most prominent riders) will not come, and that F. Ed Spooner, who managed the California trip for the Eastern men last fall, has decided not to bring any riders West this fall. This is in line with what THE CALL informed its readers about six weeks ago. Wells, Ziegler, McFarland and Coulter, the Californians now on the circuit, will probably come home, and Johnson and Michael will probably stop here on their way to Australia, but those who expected to see Sanger, Bald, Cooper, Butler, Gardiner, et al., are destined to disappointment. The Wheelmen’s Municipal League will meet again next Wednesday evening. Messrs. White, Welch, Stratton, Swain, Jerome and Hancock constitute the thea- ter party committee of the Associated Clubs. They have arranged for the wheelmen to have full swing at the Tivoli Wednesaay evening, October 21. Lewis C. Hunter of the Olympic Club ‘Wheelmen has been placed in nomination for secretary-treasurer of the North Cali- tornia Division of the League of American ‘Wheelmen. He will run :5“11!! Stanley G. Bcovern of the same club, who was | over the Haywards course. nominated on the regular ticket, and Hunter's opposition will be_the only con- test. The voting is by mail ballot from October 15 to 25. Captain W. I. Pixley bas called a run of the San Francisco Road Club for to-mor- row to Haywards, taking the 8:30 A. M. boat. Mr. Pixiey has been substituted on the regular L. A. W. ticket for Sol Peiser, as representative large. President Kerrigan has appointed the following committees in the Bay Cflv Wheelmen: House committee—F. Watters Jr., A. J. Menne, J. G. North; racing committee—Henry L. Day, A. J. Menne, T. 8. Hall, George E. Dixon and David McT. Marshall; membership com- mittee—George P. Wetmore, Harry Lar- kin, Archie Reid. Captain Day will take a large party on a run to-morrow to Hay- wards to see the road race. The Imperial Cycling Club will hold a ten-mile road race Sunday, October 25, Entries close the 17th, J. Bamberger, L. W. Classen, I H. Frank, 8. L. Goldman, Bud Hank Kochman, William G. Lee, B. P. Sea- right, Gus Sachs, M. Spiro, H. Sachs, all of the Barker Cycling Club, and W. H. L. Geldert, Emil Kehrlein and John W. Parkhurst, of this City, joined the League of American Wheelmen last week. Cali- fornia now has 1574 members, the total in the United States being 66,800. SrALDING. S S DUCK SHOOTING. The Season Will Open on Thursday. Grand Sport Is Anticipated. Sportsmen are looking forward impa- tiently to a favorite pastime which will be enjoyed by thousands on Thursday next. On that day the law will release its hand of protection from the feathered game, | which is very plentiful this year, accora- ing to the very latest accounts from marsh and field. Wild ducks, and particularly mallard, are quite numerous in the Suisun marshes, consequently the sportsmen who have a predilection for duck shooting anticipate royal sport on the inaugural day of the duck-shooting season. 1t is thought that the Ibis and Cordelia shooting clubs will employ the same tactics of warfare as were introduced in previous seasons to debar ‘‘outside’’ hunters an opportunity of killing any of the preserved game. The sportsmen of Vallejo and Suisun are determined to be in the swim, how- ever, and preparations are being made by them to burn powder on the Suisun marshes on Thursday morning. Hunters who do not affiliate with the sportsmen that have leased duck-shooting lands say that if their pieasureisaisturbed by game- keepers they will join the preserve hunters in shooting ducks over favorite ponds, «which have been fed” daily for some weeks past. 5 At meeting recently held by the Sportgmen’s Protective Association of this City the presidentinstructed the members to be careful and under no consideration to enter upon the lands of a farmer with- ont first having obtained his permission. ““I am strongly in favor of protection to farmers,”” said the president, “‘and I also favor protection for domestic game birds and animals, such as quail, grouse, pheasants, etc., but I cannot understand the meaning of a preserve on a barren marsh frequented by migratory game whicn may be found to-day in Suisun and to-morrow in Los Angeles. “A duck-shooting preserve, I contend, is ruinous to the interest of game, because of the great slaughter that is annually ac- complished by the owners or lessees of these preserves. Ponds are baited for many weeks prior to the opening day of the season, and as a result thousands of | wild ducks concentrate in those ponds or preserve-traps better expressed, and when the day arrives for the slaughter of the innocents the preserve men sally forth with theirguns, and a continuous fusiliade is directed upon the birds which flock into the ponds, from daylight until dark. “Sacks containing from fifty toa hun- dred ducks may be seen piled up at the stations on the SBuisun marsh on the even- ing of the day of shooting, waiting ship- ment to this City, and, gentlemen of this association, This is what some people are pleasea to call game preservation.” = The Daily Report of the 7th inst in an editorial on game preservation said: ‘“The Sportsmen’s Protective Association of this City is strongly opposed to the preserva- tion of game upon reservations, but game can be saved from extermination only by the preserve system. It is a case of pre- serves in tne hands of real sportsmen or extermination at the hands of pot-hunt- ers and the Sportsmen’s Association knows that as well as we know it.”’ It was through the intercession of the Sportsmen’s Protective Association of this City that the SBupervisors passed an ordin- ance a few vears ago prohibiting the sale of certain game which, owing to a defect in the game laws, was being sold in this City at all times, yet the members of this association are dubbed ‘‘pot-hunters” by some individuals who would gladly own the earth if they could but grasp that little wad in their paw. But they cawn’t do it, ye know. A' mass-meeting of sportsmen will be he!d some evening of next week at the call of Mr. Ahern, who is presiding officer of the protective association. The Sportsmen’s Protective Association, looking to the interests of the sportsmen at large, hss mailed to each Assemblyman and Senator nominated by the Republi- can and Democratic parties a pledge which reads as follow Herewith inclosed you will find & card from the Sportsmen’s Protective Association of Cali- fornia, with its aims sand objects, which are as follows: “The vbjects of this association shall he the abolition of game preserves, the enforcement olexhlmzflme laws, and to secure the en- actment of such further laws as may deemed necessary and wise; the protection of the game and fish now found in the State; the introduction and Praplgl(lon of such desir- able game, animals, birds and fish as may flourish in this State if introduced; the en- couragement of field sports among its mem- bers, and to secure to all lovers of the rod and gun such rights, privileges and pleasures as come within the province of an association of sportemen.” The wording of the pledge is clear and ex- plicit, and if you are in sympathy with its aims and objects piease sign the same at your earliest convenience and forward to the secre- tary, CHAS F. FITZS1MMONS, 641 Market St. e i THE OCARSMEN. What Is Belng Done Regarding the Thanksgiving Day Regatta. 8. J. Pembroke, manager of the regatta which is to be hela on Oakland Creek on Thanksgiving day, announces that the event will certainly take place, as he has about completed arrangements with the railroad company in regard to transporta- tion facilities, fare, etc., and is now only awaiting the Pacific Athletic Association to sanction the holding of the regatta. The races will be four in number, and will consist of the following events: Senior single scull, senior four-oared barge, intermediate four-oared barge and senior outrigger-skiff race. There is also a possibility of a race in four-oared out. rigger barges between the Columbia and University boat clubs of Oakland. The university oarsmen participated in the Lake Merritt regatta held on last Washington’s birthday and were defeated by a small mlr‘iln by the crack South End senior crew. The Bouthern Pacific has agreed to transport the Stocktonian oa men who will row in the regatta and their boats to the scene of the races without charge. 5 The first race of the regatta will be called at 10:45, John D. Phelan will be asked to officiate as referee, and the other officers will be men prominent in boating circles. Next Sunday the Piofeer Rowing Club will celebrate its thirty-second anniver- sary. An elaborate programme has been arranged for the occasion. The event of the day will be a four-oared barge race be- tween three crews from the club. |The race will be called at 12 o'clock. The makeup of the crews is as follows: Junior crew—W. St. John, stroke; T. Faulkner, afterwaist; Dick Collopy, forwardwaist; George Darragh, bow, and George Fitz- simmous, cockswain. T. 8. E. Society crew R. J. Espy, stroke; W. Espy, after- waist; J. Klunder, forwardwaist; Mike Calanan, bow, and Tommy Sands, cock- swain. Intermediate crew—Joe Burke, stroke; W. Foley, afterwaist; W. Cook, forwardwaist; Joe Hanley, bow, and Ed ‘Wilson, cockswain. The ladies’ crew of the Pioneer Club will also be on _hand and give an exhibition, and Jack Klunder and John Clifford will have a tug-of-war in boats. — FOOTBALL. Olymplc Meets Stanford To-Day With a Powerful Aggregation. Olympic is to meet Stanford this after- noon on the Central Park gridiron in what will be the first football match of the season for each team. Game will be called at 2:30 o’clock with the following officials in charge: Umpire, Frank Butter- worth, the Berkeley coach and Yale's Cotton, Tackle and Best All- Around Player of the Stan- ford Football Team. greatest fullback; referee, Charles B. Nott, assistant ccach at Berkeley and last season’s captain and guard at Brown University; linesmen, Captain Harry Walton of Reliance, the old Stanford foctball and baseball star, and some one of tne five Annapolis Naval Academy football-players recently assigned to the Orezon for regular naval duty. The Olympics will go into the game with a very formidable aggregation of in- diviauals. Of the seventeen men an- nounced yesterday by Captain Smith as likely to take part for the local ciub dur- ing the game one was a star end on the Annapolis team last season, one was cap- tain and end for West Point last season, one was a great tackle at Harvard a few years ago, one is from :he Multnomah team of Portiand, two have had experi- ence with the Reliances, two have played on the Berkeley Varsity team, one was a star on the Stanford Varsity team and two others had experience at Stanford, an- other is the best product of the Peerless ‘i i [ f i i \ i \ I8 Stickney, Harvard Tackle and Olympic Halfback and Coach. Club, while two large, powerful new men and two old ones are strictly Olympic ma- rial, It will be seen from this that the Olym- pics nave a remarkadle collection of ex- perienced football-players, made up not by any means from old habitues of the club. If they have team work the reason- able conclusion seems to be that the Stanford men will be defeated, as were tne Berkeley men last Saturday by the Reliances in the opening maich of the season. Two weeks ago, in a practice game, Reiiance and Stanford were a stand-off. A week ago Reliance easily de- feated a Berkeley team that was evidently not the very best that the university men coald have put in the fisld, for Sherman, Simpson, Selfridge and Hutchinson did not play. Any inference from the result of to- day’s game must still leave the compara- tive merits of Reliance and Olympic and of the two universities an open question, for no definite line of compariscn can be obtained until next Saturday, when Olym- pic will meet Berkeley. From that game the relative strenzth of the ‘‘big four’’ teams may be more nearly determined. Both university teams have a way, how- ever, of developing surprisingly during | Claude Van Valer and my show what he has to oppose in the avoir- ..

Maddaen, 156 scarcely 19 years old, but he is a strapping feliow for all that and has & magnificent physique for football. His stripped weight exceeds 185 pounds, but it is mostly strong sinews and but littie surplus flesh. His playing as end and - tackle, both of which Dositions he has played on the Varsity, is characterized by steadiness and energy. He is a clean, bard tackler and a quick man on his feet. He gets into the inter- ference well and is strong both in aggres- sive and defensive work. History is his major subj-ct. He entered Stanford with the present junior class. H. 0. Stickney was a star tackler on the Haryard University team in 1889 and 1890.| and subsequent to his graduation he Plndyed on the Boston Athletic Club eleven ard last year coached the football teawm of the Umdversity of Wisconsin, a larger State university than that at Berkeley. For the position of tackle he is small, but he is reputed to be one of the greatest men Harvard has had for that place. Since his arrival in this Clty several weeks ago he has been the regular coach of the Olympic team and in to-day’s game will play half- back. He is considered a dashing, gritty vlayer and a punter of no mean ability. The Farragut Footbali Club of Vallejo has organized for this season, and its manager, W, T. Stanford, says it is eager to play any other team on the coast. . One of the prospects of the near future is a charity foothall game between the Olympic team and the navy men. On the Oregon alone there are five veterans of the Annapolis Academy team, which has of late years been a worthy rival of the big Eastern universities. They are: Reeves, tackle; Cavanagh, center; McCormack, end, and a guara and a haltback. / THE ANGLERS. A Hard Journey With Golden Trout From Whitney Creek to Kaweah. Some of the anglers who visited Eel River a few weeks ago returned on the last steamer from Eureka. They report that the season is very late and the full run of fish in the Eel is not expected until the end of this month. Some iairly good catches of small steelheads were made by Frank Marcus and Dr. von Hoffman. John Butler and John Gallagher are expected home on Sunday, Good bass fishing is still to be had in Ruscian River near Duncans Mills and Guerneville. The best fishing of the season is now being enjoyed by anglers who are whipping the Truckee. James Reynolds of Sacramento writes that he landed ninety-five beautiful trout in one day’s fishing near Verdw They were all taken “on flies.” The following letter is self-explanatory. Anglers will find it particularly interest- wmg: VISALIA, Oct. 7, 1896. Editor Sport: Sometime ago I asked Mr. Ellis, who 1s one of our Supervisors, to let me have the particulars of his last trip to Mt. Whitney, at which place he went after golden trout. To-day I received the foliowing letter from him: Jo Carroll Esq., FRrIEND: Promises once made are never for- gotten by reporters, so I shall attempt to tell you how Frank Hill and inyself of the Eshom Visalia, Cal.—DEAR valley Fish and Rifie Club, accompanied by son, Leonard, caught and ecarried some golden trout from Whitney Creek to the main north fork of the Kaweab. Ishall omit the details of & most en- joyable trip up the grand canyon of Kings River and across Kersngfin Pass, and a return by Independence and Lone Pine to Mineral King in company with Hon. W. W, Cross and M. L. Weaver, both of Visalia, to where I met Mr. Hill, according to a previous agreement, On Tuesday, August 25 last, we left Mineral King with ouroutfit of camp provisions and four empty cans in which to attempt trans- caught some fine fish, u few weighing over three and a half and less than four pounds, Here we rested a couple of daysso we could push homeward when we got the fish ready. We also made a suitable reservoir in which to hold the fish twenty-four to thirty-six hours preparatory to starting. We made the reser- voir of stores and willows and it held some fifty gallons of water. We also arranged for a supply of fresh water to run through it. Vhen all was ready, early one morning we started, with empty cans and lunch, to make the climb up “Picayune Point” and on to Whitney Creek. In about three hours we reached a suitable place to approach the water with our animals, and in three hours’ moving, as a former experience proved to me that unless a constant shaking of water was kept up the fish would soon die. The six Iiles return was soon made and we lost only one fish. The second day we succeeded nicely until in the afternoon, when we stopped to refill our cans with fresh water, but our stop proved disastrous, for we killed thirty-three fish in less than that many minutes and only saved the balance by making a gallop of two miles to Burnt Corral Meadows, where we lib- erated them in & small pool. The next day was uneventful. We reached Mineral King late in the even- ing and soon had our fish in the reseryoir, where we allowed them to rest a_couple of days.

We were highly leased with their remarks and criticisms. oth these gentlemen are expert fish men and are probably the best posted trout men in the United States. But back to the fish. After leaving Mineral King we came to the old Atwell mill, then turned northward and crossed by the roughest trail I ever traveled several fine streams which needed fish, but we were bound for Esnom Valley and could not spare any of this lot. On the third day from Mineral King we reached our point of destination and liberated seventeen fish, all that was left of our original lot.

The Armory Club will give an exhibi- tion in Woodward’s Pavilion next Friday evening. The secretary of the club writes that the report concerning ‘‘Spider” Kelly’s iuability to keep his engagement that evening with Lon Agnew, owing to the formation of an abscess under the Spider's’’ good right arm, is premature. The secretary states positively that oKelly is in prime condition, and if aothing unforeseen happens between now and the evening of the fistic disturbance, the sporting public will get a run for its money, as the contest gives every promise of being particularly interesting. Jimmy Anthony will have a very pleas- ant time disposing of Carkeek and Cooney, who are strong and lusty fellows and ap- parently stiff punchers. Billy Shannon and Billy Lewis should put up a stiff punching contest, provided that they have trained properly, for an eight-round bout. On tke whole, the Armory Club has a good bill, and no doubt a large gathering of sports will be on hand to see the gladiators psrform. o s et BASKET BALL. An Interesting Game Between the Rushers and Business Men. The first game of the series for the champion- ship of the Pacific Coast between the Rushers and Business Men was played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium last Tuesday evening, resulting in a victory for the Rushers by the one-sided score of 7 to 0. The Rushers played an extraordinary game, displaying superior team work, and their sharp and accurate passing completely puzzled the Business Men. The latter team put up & good, strong game, but were unable to cope with the superior passing and excellent interference of the Rushers.

SACRAMENTO, CAL., Oct. 9.—There is every prospect of war in the mear future in this locality between Game Warden Helms and the Portuguese and Italian residents of the tule districts, as the latter make open declara- tion, 1t is said, that they intend to kill game for market. The Warden is a stickler in seeing that the law is strictly enforced, and bets are even that Helms will come out on top. Doc Reith, who has been spending (a month afield in Oregon, has returned, delighted. He says that pneasant shooting is great sport. Baseball bids fair to loom up again in this locality this fall, and it is reported that the Sacramento Athletic Club has two nines in the field which are prscticing hard for future honors. Dr. E. C. Deuel, F. C. Yoerk, F. M. Newbert, L.S. Upson and Will Young, all members of the Henrietta Outing Club, have procured pointer puppies of the best strains in the State and are personally tralnlnfi them for field work for a contest which will take place as soon as the dogs are old enough to take the field, the outcome to decide who is the best dog handler. There is talk of a great bluerock tournament to be held in this City on Thanksgiving day, butas yet all preparations are embryo. Its success will greatly depend on the number of outsiders who will care to attend. The indi- cations are that & small army of sportsmen will leave the Clt{ on the 15th, and that the slaughter of quail and ducks on that day will exceed anything that has taken place in this locality for years, as everybody is going afield. RUTHERFORD. Sol S Visalia Notes. Editor of The Call: Fully 1500 people en- joyed the defeat of the newspaper men last Sunday. 1t wasa game of baseball played be- tween the lawyers and printers, and resulted in a victory for the former. The Score stood 7 to 3. Judge Gray acted as umpire. Next Sunday the business men of Main street will play & match game—lower against upper. Our regular nine will play at Bakersfield on the 18th. A good game of ball will doubtless be putup by both clubs. The Gun Club’s team has returned home from San Jose and all report a good time there, but no medals. Now that the quail season is nigh blue rocks will get a rest. Quail are plen- tiful and the local nimrods are anticipating good shooting. alter Foster, in the last number of the Olympic, has many kind words for our county, city and people. ‘Good roads” is the ¢ County and it is not made in vain. One of the candidates for Supe or in this district is making his fight on that line. All of his print- m‘f bears the words, “Do you want good roads?” ulare City wheelmen will make a showing in their Supervisorial district and the Porter- ville Athletic Club of eighty members is act- ive in the cause.

The Tide of Public Gpinion Is All Favor- atle to Paine’s Gelery Gnmnuund. == Z4). > 7 > i Congressman Bell of Colorado One of Those Recently Restored to Health by Paine’s Celery Compound. There is just now no lack of news from the Western States. Public opinion in Colorado and Iowa is as promptly - and. accurately heard of as from any New England State. From all over the West come reports that Paine’s celery compound occupies practically a clear field in the cure of diseases arising from a tired or otherwise impaired nervous system. No other remedy was ever used by so many men of sound and reliable judg- ment. No remedy but Paine’scelery com- pound has ever been recommended by so conspicuously fair-minded a body of men and women. The haif-hearted experi- mental efforts of scores and scores of sar- saparillas, tonics and so-called nervines, with which the market is constantly re- cruited, are in startling contrast with the confident—because thoroughly scientific— way in which Paine’s celery compound sets about restoring health and vigor to the wornout body. Why will people be silly enough to jeopardize their lives and lessen their char;ces of getting well by taking anything else There is no help so sure and so imme« diate as one gets from the use of Paine’s celery compound. Detailed information of innunerable cases of rheumatism, neu- ralgia and dyspepsia, completely cured, has established this great invigorator as the most valuable remedy those run down in heaith can make use of. ‘Women whose stock of nervous energy was well nigh exhausted have been re- stored to a joyful, contented state of body and mind by this same great nerve and brain restorative. Paine’s celery compound is the greatest achieyement in modern medicine, It banishes weakness and pain as surely as its famous contemporary, the electric light, dispels darkness. Paine’s celery compound frees the body of vicious humors that cause kidney and liver complaints. Only a great remedy based on a deep knowledge of these diseases could do_the work that Paine’s celery compound is now doing. Better nutrition for the nerves, an awakened apuoetite, purified blood and complete as- similation—these follow the conscientious use of Paine’s celery compound as surely as day follows night. If you are alarmed by a throbbing of the heart, an irritable stomach, or general de- bility, be fair with yourself, use the best means there is, examine what Paine’s celery compound is doing. It has cured an astonishing number of men and women of Bright’s disease, rheumatism, neural- gia, heart and liver trouble. No sufferer can pass lightly over the remarkable record that Paine’s celery compound has to show to every sick and ailing person. Among the thonsands of testimonials received this year is one recently sent by Congressman John C. Bell of Colorado, who says he has used three bottles of this best of all remedies for dyspepsia and rheumatism, with the most satisfactory results. Among the testimonials received since January there have been noless than sixteen from Congressmen from different States. .:@@m@.@@@@:@:@:@: ) &) : @ Nz e | BATTLE Ax PLUCG [ " e i, No matter how much you are charged for a small piece of other brands, the chew is no better than “Battle Ax.,” For 10 cents you get almost twice as much as of other high grade goods. .
