THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1897. THE FIELD OF SPORT. End of the Game Shooting Season—Baseball, Cycling and Gerneral Athletics. The season open to sportsmen who have a predilection for shooting quail and wild duck will end on Monday, and doubtless a larze number of hunters will take ad main in which of the few days that re- game birds can be bagged. The weather isnot favorabie for cycling, but the riders who never miss an oppor- tunity to enter for events that are consid- ered mportant are keeping themselves in for the big meeting which will Le held at the Veledrome track on Wash- on’s birthday. The Olympic Club is determined to give a f lass professional boxing tourna- ment in April, and with that object in view the directors are corresponding with some of the le 1gilists of America. Loversof coursing, baseball, rifie shoot- ing, boat rowing, fishing, etc., are looking forward to a summer of great sport. 2o THE WHEELMEN.

Becker, the five-mile National | champion, will try to lower his own mile record, which is pretty low On Washington’s birtt the 224 nual 25>-mile road race of the Cali- | fornia Associated Cycling Clubs will be eld around the San Leandro triangle. | This is one of tbe four big events held by the association each year and always at- | tracis a largze number of haray road riders from the various clubs, the entry list last year numbering seven: it is estimated there will be fully 100 start- ers this year, who will receive handicaps varying from nothing to six or eight minut There will be a large number of time and place prizes, the association be- ing particularly liberal in this respect in all 1ts events. The race will start at 10 A. M. at San Leandro, and a> the coarse is | triangular in shape and has to be encir- | cled three times to compiete the distance, from a spectator’s point of view the race is particularly interesting, much more so than the ordinary road event. Distance lends enchantment, 'tis said, which is perhaps the reason why both riders and spectators prefer the annual 25-mile road Tace to any five or ten mile events held across the bay, The road-riders from the different clubs have been training for some time past for this race, for the reason that it takes at least a month’s conditioning to fit one for such a long grind. Probably the Acme Club will enter the most men, as fully twenly wearers of the red-and-black will ‘start.” The club is conceded to have a cinch on the Olympic_trophy, one of the prizes. The Bay City Wheelmen have an exceilent show for time prize through their®great road man, C. A. Craft, and Tommy Hall, if in condition, shonld show up well. The Imperials can depend on Lind, Mack, Goodwin_and others to up- hold’ their colors. The Olympics will have some new men entered, and al- though Wing and Tantau are Jooked to do wonders, Heimore and some of the other riders brought out last season, with fair handicaps, will have a better show. The Californias can always depend on Bird- sall to show well in front. In fact, this race will bring out the cream of the road- racing talent of the State. The road-racing committee of the asso- ciation, of which Charles Albert Adams is chairman, has prepared the following list of officials for the race: President, A. P. Swain, Acme. Referee, J. H. White, unattached. Judges—J.J. B. Argenti, C. C. C. rigan, B. C. W.; Douglas White, B.Jerome, R.C. W.; O. R. Sterling, : Acme;'W. H. Tooker, I . C. W.; T. B. McGinnis, 0. C.; Assistant cle; E.

Among the notables 10 join during the past week was James D, Phelan, Mayor of this City. Manager Ravlin and Mr. Shater are rapidly perfecting arrangements for their bi: State circuit. In Sania Rosa much enthusiasm was manifested over the pro- posed event. A big meeting of the Santa Rosa Wheelmen was held and February 27 selected as the date. The following will pe the eventsand prizes: Professional one mile record race paced by sextuplet, prizes $5 $15; one-third of a mile scratch, ), $10; two-thirds of a miie handicap, $35, §20, $10; five milo scratch, $40, $20, $10. eur events, one mile open and one mile handicap, prizes in merchandise valued at $35, $25 and $10 ezch.

Kriess, Harry Adams, E. B. Hayward, C. F. Huntington, John Shelton and Frea Bui- lock. The track will be put in fine ehape. Sacramento was fortunate in securing two days on the circuit, March 9 and 13, a Tuesday and Saturday. The first day there will be two professional and two amuteur events, the distances and prizes | not yet being decided. The second meet | the following profe=sional races will be | ran: One-mile open, one-mile handicap, two-mile handicap, five-mile scratch: | prizes for each 1o be $30, $25 and §20.

The officers of the Capital City Wheel men, which will control the meets there, are:’ President, Scott Ennis; vice-presi- dent, F. T. Dwyer; secretary, J. T. Shee- Goethe; historian, H.

Goethe, W. G. Todd and J. T. Shee- han. The Chico meet has been abindoned on account of the two dates given to Sacra- mento. The circuit is rapidly nearing completion, and with Stockton placed for | a meet, or possibly two, the chain of | events will be well iinked together. The men will then get buck here in time for any indoor meet that may be held about | the end of March. The professionals who | will follow Ravlin and Shater’s circuit will | comprise some of the speediest men in the business. There will be Loughead, | Ziegler. Wells, McFarland, Stevens, | +Bob” Terrill and other lesser ligats of | the cycle racing path, comprising alto- gether one of the grestest aggregations ever seen here. It is to be hoped that the Saa Francisco public will be given a| ctance to see them perform, either at the | Velodrome or at the indoor meet at the Pavilion.

He atiributes this to outdoor work among the people, and the healthy exercise gained from cycling. Advices from the Chicago cycle show | tells us that nearly every racing man of prominence now in the East will come to | Californis for his preparatory training for | the season of 1897. Michael, the Welsh wonder, will come here to join Shaler, Bald will come with his old-time trainer, Asa Windle, Kiser with Stackpole, Gar- diner with Reedy, Cooper with Webb, and Sanger, Dimbie, Ingraham, Jay Eaton, ‘Wiil Coburn and a host of others. Then we will see some racing. SPALDING. e ROD AND CREEL. The Opening of the Trout-Fishing Season Will Not Ba Altered. Although it did not rain very much in this City on Wednesday evening, reports from Marin County state thatthe down- pour was general. There is no doubt that after the rivers and streams which empty into the ocean will become sufficiently clear of debris matter so that a steelbead can see either shrimp or roe, good sport will re- sult, as the spent fishes will then be on their return from the spawning beds. Four weeks of fine weather will put the Russian River in good condition fof fish- ing, and as it is a favorite stream of the end of the season will prove as interesting from a sportsman’s point of view a: marked the termination of last year's steelhead fishing. Lovers of stream-whipping will ke pleased tolearn that the Fish Commis- sioners have withdrawn an amendment to the fish law the purpose of which wes to close the season until May 1. Had i not been for the notices which appeared in Tre CALL drawing the a ttention of the angling fraternity to the proposed change in the trout law the amendment would certainly have passed muster and the change from April 1 to May 1 would mean no fishing in coast streams for the lovers of the pastime who reside in this City. The object of the Fish Commissioners— Messra. Babeock, Emeric and Vogelsang— in desiring that the close season shouid be extended one month was to prevent, as far as possible, the shipment of cutthroat trout from Lakes Donner, Tahoe, Webber and Independence 0 this Ciiy. 1tis a well-known fact that professional fishermen have almost depleted some of the big lakes in the mountains of their finny inbabitants, and as April is the month in which the largest sbipments are Dixon there is a half-mile track, said | 10 De one of ihe best in the United States. | The stretches are an eighth of a mile in | | salt water destroys the black spots and merk- | Biack Point and McGills. { anglers of this City it is Loped thatthe [and the Dolphin Swimming Club will teifish gain, regardless of the results of she fish interests of the State. But when the Commissioners moved to place a stumbling-block in the way of the professional fishermen by amending the fish laws they neglected to consult some of the prominent local anglers who are in- terested in laws that interfere with fish- ing in coast streams. As the cutthroat or *‘Salmo Mykise Henshawi” is the trout that is shipped to ers could very easily law by closing the season for the capture of cutthroat trout until May 1, without Laving to inciude ali the varieties. This would not be uncoustitutional and | it would answer the purpose admirably, | as it 1s the Mykiss variety of the trout | family that needs protection in the mountain lakes of the Sierras. The trout found in Webber Lake are said to have been vplanted many vears ago by Dr. Webber and _that he took the original stock from Feather River. They have been commonly known as Feather River or cutthroat trout. Independence Lal contained large numbers of the same Vi riety, but owing to the destruction of the male fishes by professional fishermen who catch the trout by means 6f boring holes {in_the ice, this beautiful sheet of water is being rapidlv depleted of its denizens. T. B. Hutchinson, who is one of Eng- land’s best authorities on fresh-water fishes, says: Trout-fishing as a means of recreation has, 1 believe, more followers than any other kind or sport; easily followed, with moder- i’y attainable, no danger and delightiul weather, it offers inducements few oiher sports can, and yet with thousands fol- | Species irom another of can teil a trout from a | saimon, and know nothing of the habits of the fish.y Of all the families of fish that of the sal. monidwm, or salmon family, is most interest ing, ana’ for beauty, gameness, actlvity and quality of meat it stands pre-eminent.

N. Winans, who isat the head of the pro- ject, is a driver in all that pertains to the for- warding of athletic sports, and will without doubt carry the project to a successful termi- nus. Itis proposed 1o make an outlay of at lenst $8000. £5000 of which is available at the | present rime. The park will be equipped with all facilities for outdoor sports, such es bicycle racing, basebail, handball, trap-shooting, etc. There will bea handsome and commodious grend- nd clubrooms, shower baths, billiard tables, etc. The park will be inclosed with & 14-foot high, solid fence. The entire grounds is o be lighted with electricity, o that racing can be carried on day or night if so aesired. The postponed medal shoot of the Helvetia Rifie Club will be held next Sunday.

Enough of the board of directors of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are leniently inclined toward the Olympic Gun Club, it is believed, to prevent orders for a visitation by Officer Holbrook.

The old Pacific Kennel Club having gone out of existence and named the Oiympic Gun Clubas e sort of residuary legatee and successor in the business of giving an annual dog show, assurances were sent the Olympic Gun., Club by the Bt Bernard Club that 1t will not enter any of its numerous fine dogs in any dog show not 8iven directly under the auspices of the Olympic_Gun Club.

Until the American Kennel Club shall have recognized either the Olympic Gun Ciubor the San Francisco Kennel Club as the representative dog organization of this City the whole matter wili remam in an uncertain state. The next regular meet- ing of the American Kenne! Club will be held in New York City on February 24. “I am not a member of the newly formed kenrel club, nor do I intend to be just now, at all events.” This was the introductory made by H. T. Payne to & CALL representative who sought some information from him on the disagreement now existing be- tween the dog fanciers of the defunct Pa- cific Kennel Club, its successor, the Oiympic Gun Club, and the recently or- gamzed San Francisco Kennel Club. “All I know regarding this -disagree- | ment,”’ continued Mr. Payne, “is that a good many breeders of blooded dogs in this City have become dissatisfied with the management of the Pacific Kennel Club and, s a consequence, it has gone out of existence, and simultaneously with its death it created its successor by offer- ing to turn over ils money, after payine all its debts, to tae Olympic Gun Cluband naming it as its successor. “fhis would be nothing more or less than a revival of the old members under a new name. “Now, while all this was being carried on about thirty men baving the interest of dogs of good breeding at heart saw fit to organize the San Francisco Kennel Club and send onto the American Kennel Club in New York their credentials, ask- ing for recognition and affiiiation. “The same hes been done by the Olympic Gun Club, and both have agreed 10 hold a dog suow about the middle of next May. “Which one of those two will be recog- nized remains 1o be scen. On_the 24th of this month the New York Kennel Club will hold its monthly meeting and in all probability issue its charter to one of the contending parties. *The San Francisco Kennel Club has among its charter members the names of such reputable citizens as H. J. Crocker, Dr. B’Evelyn, John de Ruyter, John Tal* lant, Mr. Chesebrough, J. J. Baker, W. 8. Kiule, Mr. Pageand a lot of othersof equal standing. “‘Those men are desirous of forming a kennel club that will not be a tail to any other club adjunct and where all weli- bred dogs wili be afforded a recognition accordine to their meril and will receive vrizes if entitled to them. “It is claimed by men who have given this subject some thought, thatif a gun club should be recognized as a kennel club no dogs except hunting ones would receive medals at the nands of the judges, and as a result none other would be entered for exhibition. *I have no feeling in this matter what- ever, but I do want to see a kenuel ciub in £an Francisco that will not be atiached to any other club as a sideshow. We have 8ood dogs in this City, and it is the pride of the Lreeders of those dogs to form a kennel club on the bighest standards.” e THE ST. CLUB. BERNARD It Passes Resolutions Condemning the Action of the Newly Or- ganized Kennel Club. The St. Bernard Club met at 313 Bush street Wednesday and decided to offer two silver medals for the San Jose, Stock- ton and Los Angeles shows, to be given to the best rough or smooth coat open class | | Bench Show St. Bernard dog and the- best rough or smooth coat bitch in the open class. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, Unanimously to support the Olym- pic Gun Club's bench show in evers possible manner, and pledges iiself not to show a | single dog should theSan Francisco Kennel Ciub, recently organized, secure dates from the American Kennel Club to hold & show this year in this City. The St. Bernard Club commands not less than 100 dogs, seventy of this number being St. Bernards. The members look upon the formation of the new club as being a stumbling-block in the way of the best interests of dogs on this coast. William Strachan's beautiful St. Ber: nard Beauty, which took first prize at months oid in the San Francisco in 1896, has thrown a fine Ltter of ten puppies, all full color and perfect markings. They are sired by Thomas H. Browne’s champion, Grand Master, a noble dogz, which has taken prizes all over the United States. Beauty comes of champion stock on_both sides.~ She is rich in color, her body being | orange and white, full white collar, breast nd tip of tail full blaze with black shad- ing. She stands thirty-one 1inches at shoulder and weizhs 150 pounds. Judge Mortimer spoke very hichly of her in the Eastern papers afier the San Francisco show. She is laczer than her mother, the celebrated bitch Lola. FARES FOR THE FIGHT, Efforts to Get a $30 Rate From the Missouri River to Ogden. A Rumor That the Rate From Here and Return Will Be $16 40 Ex- clusive of Pullman. Already arrangments are being made by various persons who want to see the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons battle for their trans. portation to Carson. It nas been fixed that one Puliman train will leave here at 4 or 4:30 o’clock on the evening of March 16, the day before the fight. It will stop at the racetrack in Oakland and catch up those who cannot get away from there train is primarily intended for the race- track people. Trains will probably be going thick and fast about that time. Butdo the best the till the last minute. This | Rl railroad can, it will not have Pullmans enough to satisfy the demand. General Passenger Agent Goodman said so yester- day, and added that everything was now being done to get as many Pullmans in from aifferent places as possible. so that they could be utilized. No Pullmans will be brought from the East for extra use, but the Pullmans used on the overland will not be suffered to lie here 1dly for hours as formerly. Every wheel will turn, and to as much purpose as possible. The Pullman rate to Carson will be $2, and the same to return. Should peoble go early and stay late, being there | two or three days, they will pay some- thing extra, according to the time the cars lie at Carson. The train which is to leave here on the evening of the 15th, before alluded to, will carry a diner, as will all the trains. Eight different ¥ullmans bad up to yes- terday been applied for. Douglas White is organizing a party and will carry a diner along, Several other parties are being organized over the City. It is hinted, though not from the general office, that the round-trip fare, exclusive of the Pullman, between San Francisco and Carson will be $16 40. If this is found correct the rate would seem reasonsble. The other rate—that is, from the East— has been definitely fixed as far as the Southern Pacific is concerned. *It has been arranged fora trifle over one fare for the round trip,”” said Mr. Goodman, ‘‘between Ogden and Carson, by way of Reno. The distance is, in round figures, 1200 miles. Now, if the roads from Omaba and Kansas City would make the standard $30 rate from these poinis to Ogden it would make the rotal fare but $65. This from Missouri River points would make a rate to Carson that would be satisfactory.” It is the general opinion that great crowds will go irom the Pacific Coast to see the battle, and_especially from this City and vicinity. It js more than likely that many people will be forced to go in ordinary cars. ———— Three Sults for Rent. Three sults have been filed in the Justices’ Court by W. F. Waittier against W. P.
