SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY THE WORLD OF SPORT. News That Will Interest Fighters, Wheelmen, Coursers, Baseball Players and Sportsmen. Corbett and Fitzsimmons can give no reasonable excuse now for avoiding a tilt with nature’s weapons. The Governor of Nevada State has signed the bill which passed both houses of the Nevada Legisia- ture, Manager Stuart has deposited the coin and the onl7 thing that will prevent the championship contest from being de- cided on March 17 is sickness of either principal. Baut, in case either one is really sick and unable to give a good account of himself on tne day set for the battle, a postponement can be had until such time as the men are physically able to fight. The wet weather has spoiled the sport of the wheelmen, the hunters and the anglers. Coursing is, however, in full blast. So are baseball and rifie-shooting. 1In factail lines of sport have a healthy appearance. THE WHEELMEN. Club Entertainments and Partles. Another Velodrome Saturday Afternoon Meet, The past week has been very quiet in cycling circles. The inclement weather bas prevented the carrying out of several proposed runs scheduled for to-morrow, and there areno race meets or other at- tractions in the very near future. Indoor club life will serve to pass the time for the organized wheeimen, and card parties, dances, entertainments and the like are being arranged to keep up the interest in the clubs. The Velodrome will venture another Saturday afternoon meet on Fepruary 13, the progrsmme for which as so far ar- ranged will include two amateur events, | nearly afl taken by local talent there, and | by bara work and constant rehesrsals | they prepared an ex .eilent performance. | The club is not dead by any means, though many wonld have it so. Captain Henry L. Day has called for the | third time a rui of the Bay City Wheel- men to Laundry Farm, and as usual it bas rained torrents a day or two before the event. The run is off now until some future date, and when it is announced it will probably be as good as the signal ser- | vice in predicting an approaching storm. | Victor A. Hancock of the membership | commitiee o1 the North California Di- | sion, L. A. W., has ‘gone to San Jose to | try and get some new members and to in- | terest the expiring Garden Uiiys to re- | new, “Vic” is quite popular down there, in fact everywuere, and should be very successful. The Alameda Cyclers held an entertain- ment at the Lindermsn Opera-house last evening, which was weil atteuded and very enjoyable. The proceeds will be ex- pended in training and preparing a team of ten racers to represent the club in the annual relay race in April. Commencing this evening the Bay City Wheelmen's cribbage tournament starts in aod will probably last a fortnight. Nineteen had entered up to last nighy, in- cinding the following well-known devotees | of the game: Harry Larkin, E. S. Battles | Fred L. Day, Jacob M. Pike, Fred Boeck- [ mann, G. P."Wetmore, @. R. Hall, J. A. { Watters, A. King-Rhys, A, H. Terrill, G. | P. Caldwell, H. F. Terrill, T. C. Dodge, E. Stoddard, H. W. Spalding, W. D. Bheldon; T. S. Hall, David Marshall and | A. J. Menne. This number will probably | be doubled by tne time the entries close | to-night. Valuable prizes will be offered | by the club for the three best scores made. | “The Imperial Cychng :Club is going to be active during the approaching season, and already Captain Troilletand the di- rectors have arranged a series of indoor OTTO ZIEGLER. ecratch at two-thirds and five miles, and a five-mile scratch professional race! also the shield race, between D. E. Whitman and C. E. Dow. The annual 25-mile road race of the California Associated Clubs will be heid on Washington’s birthday, February 22, | over the San Leandro triangle. It will be started at 9 A. M. Already a large number of men are in training for the event. The Acme Club of Oakland will put in prob- ably twenty men, and the Bay City Wheelmen, Olympics, Californias and Imperials almost as 1any each, It 1s one of the classic road events of the year, wherein yaluable prizes for time and place are given, and judicious handi- capping has always made it possible for a | good middle-mark or limit man to win first place. Hence the interest all the riders take in it. The distance 1s long, and very early training is necessary. Probably every man who expects to start has commenced his prelimizary training ere this. 3 Owen Kimbail, Earl H. Kiser and Tom Cooper are expected here before long, as they are announced to come to California to train for the 1897 national circuit di- rectly after the Chicago cycle show, which closes to-night. Kiser and Cooper are known to us, but Kimball is a new one. They will be a creditable addition to the long list of professional racers now on the coast. 3 The programmie proposed to be given for the two weeks’ indoor tournament in March isas follow The first six days there will be & six-day -race, rupning five hours from 1 to 6 P, M. and three hours from 7 to 10 p. M., imme- diately after which there will be a short distance race, either amateur or professional. The second week there wilt be short and middle distance races each evening, with such-features as a five-mile, ten-mile, one hour and twenty-iour hour race. The North California Division will not be monetarily abie to send more than two delegates in person to the annual conven- tion of the Lesgue of American Wheel- men at Albany next month. They will be Frank H. Kerrigan, chief consul, and R. M, Welch, member National racing board. They will take the proxies of the other five delegates ana will "'work hara for divisional option on Sunday racing, good roads, admission and licensing of protes- sionais, and other important objects. It is to be regretted that the division’s funds will not permit of more delegates being sent, as the attainment of the endsdesired is in peril unless the two gentlemen named succeed in enlisting hearty support from the Eastern delegates. Had some of the dealers “‘stood in” more liberally and helped the league meet last Saturday, it might have been possible to send Mr. Smytn, the handicapper, Mr. Alexander of Ban Jose, or some other equally cheer- tul worker for the cause. However, ver- bum sap. The California Associated Cycling Clubs will hold its regular bi-monthly meeting next Saturasy evening at the rooms of the Acme Club Wheelmen, Oakland. Popular *Brick” Kubn is back from his Eastern trip and is now with the Crescent people. E H. A. Goddard of the Bay City Wheel- men is at the Chicago cycle show and wiil attend the New York show also. He expects to be back in California in March, and in a letter to me he prays for the early coming of the day, saying tbat the frigid Eastern climate has no charms for him. The Garden City Cyclers held their much-talked-of minstrel entertainment at and outdoor amusements for the mem- bers. There wili be a whist tournament commencing next Wednesday evening; Sunday, February 7, a club run to the | Velodrome and two club races there, a | mile hendicap and half mile scratch, no entry fee, no prizes, hence permissible on | Sunday under L. A. W. rules. After the | races the run will continue to Trocadero | tor lunch. The club’s first road race for the year is scheduled for Sunday, Febru- | ary 28, and will be a ten-mile event over th> Haywards course. There will be two ten-mile try-outs over the Haywards course March 7 aud 21, and all candidates for the club's relay team must ride in these. Bert Petrie, formerly of the Olym- pic Club, has been engaged to train the racers. W. L. Maule, vice-president, has resigned, and an election to fill the va- cancy will be held at the regular mem- bers’ meeting next Monduy evening. Chief Consul Kerrigan entertained a jolly party at dinner after the races last Saturday. His guests were R. M. Welch of the National racing board; R. A. Smyth, official handicapper; Dave E. Shafer, the well-known trainer; Fred J. Loughead, the Canadian champion® C. N. Ravlin of the Olympic; Charles 8. Wells and “*Bob” Terrill, the popular local pro- fessioneals, and the writer. After dinner they visited the Orpheum and altogether passed a very pleasant evening, particu larly the Judge himselt, who never shows 10 better advantage than when heis act- ing as bost. . Trainer Shafer is talking about giving a big meet a1 the Garden City Cyclers’ track in San Jose on February 22 or thereabouts providing he does not take his team to the New Orleans meet. Shafer would attract all the cracks to his meet by reason of the liberality of his prizes, and as he proposes to match Ziegler and McFarland at a mile, and Wells and Becker at five miles, there | would be no question about drawing an immense crowd. “And, although it is a long way off, I think that right now Ican call the winner of each event—Ziegler and Wells. Becker will give Wells a ride for his money, but I don’t think the other two should ever be matched, there is such a disparity in their ability in favor of Zieg- | ter. He outclasses McFarland completely. The Canadian champion, Loughead, I pick to head the list of “pros’ on the coast as soon as he enters competition. The wonderiul speed he showed at the Velodrome last Saturday, without any training whatever, is a forerunuer of what he will do aftera month’s training under Shafer, and his National circuit reputa- tion tells us he will prove a better man than any one else here just at present. Loughead has become very popular with those he bas come in contact with here, more so than any other Eastern cycle visi- tor 1 know of, all of which will be a help to him. Sydney B. Vincent of the Bay City Wheelmen rode five miles at the Velo- drome last Sunday, paced by a tandem, in about 10:32, which is much better than Becker's professional record, which, though made in competition, was paced, and amounted to practically the same kind of aride. ~Vincent will be a prominent in amateur events this year if he more headwork with his speed. £ Sravpiva, —_——— THE RING.

If a line can be drawn from the very latest expressions of the two aspirants to the title oi champion, the only conclusion that can be arrived at is that Jim and Bob are really more anxious for the fray than Manager Dave Stuart, the man who has 1 0 adroitly and so successfuily engineered | he scheme which has astonished the | sporting world. Few if any people outside those who were s0 deeply interested in the proposed | battle royal had the remotest idea a few weeks ago that the representatives of the Nevada Legislature would favor a propo- | sition of holding a prize-fight between two of the most noted exponents of the manly art on Nevada’s soil. But the un- expected occasionally happens, and the State of Nevaua has now the proud dis- tinction, that is from a sporting siand- point, of being in a position to offer Mana- ger Stuart an opportunity of carrying out his pet scheme without the least fear of interierence from the authorities of the sagebrush State. orbett stated yesterday that he will leave for this City immediately, and that afier a short visit to his reletives he will gepurt for Carson, with the intention of locating & (raining station. Champion acclimated to the light atmosphere of the mountains he mnst not tarry on the way, and he has made no mistake in so think- ing. Jim will find, when he starts in to take a morning spin over roads that are made beautiful by a carpet of snow, that his breathing apparatus will be taxed. His customary mile jogs in the lower altitudes will be decreased to a surprising extent. In fact, if James cadf ¢o a quarter without stopping to catch a very iresh breeze he can justly lay claim to being the possessor | of high-toned lungs. It can be sately said, however, that the man whose pu!monary organs are in_the best order will score a big advantage in Nevada’s climate. Fiizsimmons is aiready packing up his traps preparatory to a journey in the | direction of the setting sun. He may pos- | sibly be at his post before his opponent has completed his arrangements. The people of Nevada will give the famous | mnen of muscular power and science a | royal welcome, and it goes without saying that nothing will be left undone by the sporting fraternity of the mountains to | make pleasant the stay of the two fistic | gladiators during their sojourn in the land of untold wealth. Rich men of sporting proclivities from divers parts of the country will visit the once famous mining region for a dual pur- pose, v o witness the great fight be- tween the kings of pugilism and to see the bhusky miners working underneath the ground A dispatch which was received from will be Billy Delaney of Oakland, and a better man for the office the champion cannot find among the handiers of fight- ing men. It is hard to say who will be the_iavorite in the betting. In the far West_Corbett will sell on the long end. He will also have numerous supporters in New York State, while Fiizsimmons will be heavily backed by the sports of New | Orleans. who have t e utmost confidence v his ability to whip Corbett in short | order. It will be remembered that while Fitzsimmons was training for his fight with Sharkey he was somewhat annoyed by a small hacking cough, which some of his most intimate iriends state has re- mained with him since the time he con- | tracted a cold just previous to his depart- ure for England, but Fitz pays little or no attention 1o such trifling things. Assewbly bill No. 8, which passed both houses of the Nevada Legislature and which was signeu vesterday by Governor Sadler, reads us follows: An act to restrict and license glove contests or exhibitions between man and man, and 10 repeal all other acts in conflict therewith. The people of the State of Nevada, repre- gented In Senate and Assembiy, do enact as ollows: over the age of 21 nse for au exnibition in & public piace jor any coutest or exhibition with gloves betwe-n men and man for a wager or reward, and the weight of the gloves used in said contest or exhibition shall not be c. 2.

G S e ROD AND REEL. Amendments to the Fish Laws That .Will Not Please Local Anglers. The beautiful rain has placed a damper on steelbead-fishing. The streams and rivers which discharge their contents into the ocean are now running bank full, so to say, and as a consequence the parent fishes of the trout which are taken during the summer months are speeding in the direction of their spawning beds. It can be safely said that there will not be any fishing worthy of note in tide- | waters until the weather assumes a set- iled condition and the water clears of its refuse matter. Judging by the past sea- sons’ catches the best sport enjoyed by mid-winter anglers is during the months of February and March, therefore there can be no just reason why members of a fraternity who delight in the capture oi large and game fishes should feel discour- aged because of the present unfavorable conditions for the enjoyment of a favorite pastime. 2 According to a_report of the fish Com- mission_concerning measures which have passed the Assemviy and which appeared 1n yesterday’s paper the anglers of this City have received a stunning blow. Bat there is yet time in which to act before some of the obnoxious amendments to the fish laws will be introduced into the Sen- ate, and doubtless all anglers who are in- tarested in the pastime of trout-catching will instruct their influential fr.ends to in- tercede With the Senators with the object of killing certain measures. One of the amendments reads that the open season for catching trout with hook and line will commence on May 1, instead of April 1, as the law is at present, and close on December 1, instead of Novems ber 1. Such an amendment to the fish laws will cut off the best month of the year, whicu is April, to local anglers, as the residents who ate within easy access of trout streams will clean out every fish of re- spectable size before the local iraternity can lawfully wet a line. Bome people who imagine that by ex- tending the opening of the c!rsed season one month trout will have an opportunity to grow big and wax fat, are ceriainly ignorant of the protection that the trout receive during the closed season. In fact the coast streams are not pro- tectea at any season of the year, and for this reason iLe law as it now reads should remain unaltered. If, on the other hand, paid deputies were appointed to patrol the streams and protect the little fishes from capture during the month of April, then an amendment to the presentlaw prolonging the opening of the closed season one month would be a good measure. If the alleged sportsmen who were in- strumental in the passage of the measure, which will certainiy be opposed by all de- votees of angling when it comes before the Senate, had introduced a measure making it a misdemeanor for any person to have trout nnder five inches in length in his possession at any time of the year | then there would be reason for anglers to praise the passage of such an act, but the change in the opening of the season from April to May will not prove of the least good until such time as our streams will Teceive proper protection. The report of the Fish Commission also reaas that the close season for steellieads wili be from February 1to May 1. It does not make any reference to tidewater fish- ing with rod and line, and, as a conse- quence, anglers who fish for steellheads in these months must put up their rods un- til the opening of the trout-fishing season. Oi course, if the anglers of this City will not interest themselves in the passage of fish laws they can only expect to receive their just deseris at the hands of some people who meddle in matters with which they are totally unfaminar. As an evidence of the ignoranced played by those who are meddling with the fish laws, all that is necessary to as- certain their knowledge is to ask them what is a steelbead. Accoraing to Professor Starr Jordan of Stanford Uuniversity, who is the acknowl- edyed authority of this country on all matters piscatorial, a steelhead is a trout. Then why make the close season for steel- heads from February 1 to May 1 when the close season for trout commences, accord- ing to the report of the commission, on December 1 and ends on May 1? 1f the close season for salmon should, according to the bill now before the Leg- islature, be from September 10 to Novem- ber 15, then the steelhead cannot be al- lied with the salmon. Therefore “the question again ariszs, What is a steel- lLead? Anglers, piease do not all answer ReBh AT GUN AND DOG. Brant Shooting in Tomales Bay Is Now Very Good—Game Laws. The seasor for shooting duck and quail will end on February 15, and in case a bill which is now before the Legislature passes the Senate the man who shoots game for market purposes will have the same lati- tude next season as the sportsman who shoots for pleasure solely. The market shooter has as much right to shoot game as the man who is a mem- ber of & preserve club and kills birds be- cause of the sport of killing. The so-called sportsman delights in being the possessor of a big bag of birds on his r-turn home, and it is a well-known fact that frequently he will sit as still as a cat in a “‘blind”” when shooting ducks and wait until an opportunity is offered ior a pot shot and then blaze away. A market hunter will have to gather in the game he maims and kills, but the sportsman has his attendant near at hand, Wwho retrieves the dead and woundea. With the exception that the market shooter irequently uses a gun of larger bore tian tie law allows there is not a very wide life of difference to draw between the two, that is, so far as the greed for zame is concerned. It is to be hoped that some of the sports- men who are interested in duck and snipe shooting will frame a bill, the objects of which will be to include the Knglish snipe in the game law among other game birds and the extension of the duck-shooting season one month longer than it is at present. The English snipe is the gamest of game birds, and it is a shame that be- ‘cause the law does not protect them dur- ing the close season they gre ruthlessly slanghtered by poil-hunters in the sum- mer months while they are caring for their young. Why the duck season should be extended is because of the late arrival of the canvasback, blueb:l! and other varieties of aquatic game which do not leave this coast for their breeding-grounds betore April or May. The following letter from Willium J. Ahern, the president of the Sportsman’ Protective Association, is self-explana- tor: Sportin, Editor Call: A meeting of the Sportsman’s Protective Association will be | evening i the K. of R. | held on next Tuesda; B. Hall, corner of Mason and O'Farrell sireets, and all sportsmen interested in the weifare and protection of game are invited, s matiers concerning the association before the Legisia- ture will be discussed at length. Yours truly, W. J. AHERN. Sea brant are now very plentiful in Tomales Bay, but as they are very wary birds sportsmen do not care very much to hugt them. Two hunters from this City bugged nineteen brant last Wednesday. They used 10-bore guns and their cartridges were loaded with No. 3 shot. J. G. Bliss has foiwarded the following communication to THE CALL, wuich will doubtless interest sportsmen and scien- tists: 4 rare and fine specimen of Albino robin (Turdus migratorius) was shot by J. G. Bliss Tecently on the outskirts of Alameds. It is a male bird in white plumage, except just & suspicion oi pink seemingly inclined to man- tleto the surface of the breast. The bird was first observed by Mr. Bliss’s boy, Jack, while out hunting, who lost no time in'reporting to his father, when measures were immediately instituted for the capture of the rara avis. This was effected by the use of but three and a half grains of smokeless powder, propelling just a pinch of No. 10 shot through a 32 “auxiliary” barrel. It therefore goes without saying that the plumuge was uot disturbed in the least, but remained intactand without blemish. ' The specimen is now in the hands of Mr. Emerson, a scientist, for preservaion. S s BASEBALL. The Plute Indlans Piay the Alameda Alerts To-Morrow.
