R . s 10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1897. WORLD OF SPORT. The Tug-of-War Tournament—The Wheel, Cours- ing, Fishing and The even:s of importance to-day are the championship cycling races at the Velo- drome track and the great tug-of-war in the Mechanics’ Pavilion this evening. To-morrow there will be a 25-mile road race, held under the auspices of the Cali- Sornia Associated Cyeling Clubs; an inter- state coursing meeting at Ingleside Park, rifle shooting at the Shell Mound and San Rafael ranges, trap shooting at Alameda, handball tournament at Olympic Club grounds. The yachtsmren are making resdy for the opemng of the sailing sea- son. In fact, all lines of sport are in a Lealthy state. et PR THE WHEELMEN. Santa Rosa Races To-Day and Big 25-Mile Road Event To-Morrow. The cycling season may truly be said to have opened for the year 1897 under most Yavorable auspices. Last Sunday practi- caliy markea its opening, when thousands of wheelmen took advantage of the beau- tiful weather for a spin in the park. Mon- (Washington’s birthday) gave them andther opportunity for riding in the fore- noon and to visit the Velodrome races in the afternoon, which many ot them did, judging from the large attendance. To- day and to-morrow it 1s the same, with plenty of racing events for those who like ibem, and the prospects of good weather and good roads for those who want to ride. This afternoon the first cycle champion- ship ever beld by the Academic Athletic League will take place at the Velodrome at2o'clock. The entries and events were ziven in THE CALL yesterday. The great- est interest, hovever, is centered on the Dig gathering of professionals and ama- teurs at the Santa Rosa meet, the occasion being the opening of the State circuit. ‘This is expected to be one of the best ineets ever held in California from the high class of the riders who will compete, and it will ve attended by wheelmen from this City, Oakiand, San Jose and all the 10wns contiguous to Santa Rosa. Then to-morrow there is the annual twenty-five-mile road race of the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Clubs—one of the classic cycle road events of the year— which will be held over the San Leandro triangle, starting from San Lesandro promptly at 10 A. M. Alost of the riders and officials will go over on the 8 A. M. boat, except those who go to Santa Rosa, andthey will not get back until about quarter to 9. There are 102 entries in this race, with handicaps varying from noth- ing to ten minutes, Thereare twenty-five prizes to be contested for, and a pretty race should result. It must pe remem- bered that at San Leandro spectatcrs can see the start, have the riders pass them twice and be at the finish, as the course is triangular in shape. It is therefore an jnteresting race 10 attend and always d a large crowd. m all over the country can be read thie criticisms of the cycling press anert the recent National Assembly of the | League of American Wheeimen. Bear- the great Chicago weekly, says edi- ally in the last issue: embly of the League of ear did more talk- befure in the his- used to ailow Sunday v of the delegates de- otessionals from mem- few white puri ted by allow living by r ociety cads thougnt would be contam- men who made an honest es 0 belong to the ssume ¢ blue-bloode ones whose hepp ned 1o settle in the niuries ago; it would 10 do with the scheme for c: tate boards. In fact it re. hing that in any way would can W Lmen and of the most poweriul ath- es in the world. Itwas a case of 5 and broken promises all the way h, and it is Dot to be wondered at that £ e’ men are disgusied with the actions and trea e of the detegates. We could enume ny other things that the fa complis, but it would ‘a_much shorter time to tell wnat it really aid. About the only business trans. was' the election of Isaac B, Potter us r 1, but that was _only sctomplished by means of treachery, such as most ward-healers and plug-uglies would not deign 1o §100p to. Nevertheless the wiiter commends the election of Potter in another article as a wise move, states he is a capable man and predicts that “*with such a pilot at the | helm the good ship L. A. W. will weatt.er all storms and sail into the port of Pros- perity_the larcest athietic organization in the world.” Yes, if it doesn’t get wrecked on the reefs of its own narrow-mindedness and indiscretiou. Frank W. Fuller, who attended the Na- ticnal Assembly, L. A. W., is expected fome to-morrow night-at 5, and Mr. ‘Welch says he would not be surprised if Judge Kerrigan was with him. The latter will probably wire to some of his friends here in advance if he is on that train. Mr. Welch showed a telegram yesterday ) from H. J. Fourton, presiaent of the New Orleans Cement Track Association, as showing the spirit of the Louisiana Divi- gion. Itread: “We are vrepared to form a league to promote cycling and Sunday racing and admit professionais to mem- bership.” This is about what wiil be done, but no action will be taken until after the National circuit has .been here and gone, late in April. Mr. Weich favors more fresdom for the divisions, and the new league will be 3o construcied. The South California Division and its . Chief Consul, Monaghan, came in for a large amount of criticism from various fources. Mr. Welch, speaking of Mon- aghan, said: “Instead of assisting us at .the assembly, as you would have thought a man from our own State would have done, that man Monaghan went there to put obsiacles in the way of what is abso- lutely essential to the good of the league in Califorma. Xurthermore, it he was honest in s representations the Sunday racing proposition could not affect him or his division in_the least, as it would have been left 1o divisional option and they “could easily have decided againstit. Yet it was the South California Division that nrst started racing on Sunday, and nearly a score of professionals down thers are now under suspension for it, and the rail- road track at Santa Monica is blacklistea in consequence of permitting them to use it.” Monaghan was literally kicked out of % Western caucus at Albany, and was roundly hissed on the floor of the sssem- bly for his intemperate rgmarks 1n the de- bate on admituing professionals to mem- “bership. Next to refusing all dvisional oytion, the greatest misteke the biy made was in refusing the “pro = And’ yet it came sion to membership. in six votes of admitting negroes. The Bouthern, Central and Western States won’t forget these things in a hurry. And another thing, the North California Division does not want the South Califor- nia Division 1o get the 1dea into its head that the latter in any way assisted in the passage -of - the bacgage bill re- ctntly = before the Legisiature. The work was all done by this d:vi- -sion, the .burden -being borne by Charles Alberi Adams, Percy V. Longand ¥.T. Dwyer. The North California Divi- sion and the Cycle Board of Trade of San Francisco paid all the expenses, Npt a cent came from the south, or assistance in any shape whatever. It will be equally benefited with this part'of the State by o passage of the mensure, but what is jarring’’ the league offiials here is that the sonth is trying to take the credit for the good work, saying what *we” did" for the wheelmen of Southern California. Credit belongs wiiere credit is due, and in this baggage-bill matter, the North Cali- fornia Division alone is entitled to all of it . Captain J. 8. Lewis of the San Francisco Road Club Las called a run for to-morrow, Trap-Shooting. to leave the clubhouse at 8:30 o’clock and take the 9 o’'clock boat to Sar Leandro to witness the California Associated Cycling | Clubs' ‘twenty-five-mile road race, in which the club has a number of iis strongest road riaers entered. They have trained pulienll}' and expect. to make a good showing. The club presentsa busy scene every evening as the different riders “plug out” from five to twenty and twenty-five miles on the home trainer. The club is at present in a very Jourish- ing condition and the directors are look- ing for larger quarters, in which they can erect a gymnusium. President O. K. Ster- ling is at present absent from the City, but he is_expected to return in time to witness the race on Sunda The Olympic Club Wheelmen, led by Captain Hadenfeldt, will have a ran to San Leandro to see the road race, taking the 8:30 boat. At the next regular meet- ing, March 9, there will be a lantern-slide exhibition. The programme for the big meet at San | Jose on Saturday, March 13, will includea mile open, professional; mile open and two-thirds of a_mile handicap, amateur, and the Ziegler-McFarland matches, best two in three, mile heats, for a purse of $500. Michael, the Welsh champion, will | make his first appearance on the coast at this, meet, and may be matched at five | milés against W. E. Becker of Minneap- | olis, the holder of the world’s record for that distance. Becker has, come out with | a’ sweeping challenge to race Michael, Loughead, Ziegler or ‘any other man in Dave Shafer's siring for a huge purse, etc., etc. 1am inclined to think any one of these three will show him their rear wheel in a match race at any distance. Michael is said to be on his way out here now, accompanied by Y. Ed Spooner. They are coming by the southern route and are expected next week. SPALDING. e THE ANGLER. Thousands of Salmon Fry WIll Be Liberated In Coast Streams. The streams are now in splendia condi- tion for steelhead fishing, and doubtless { there will be a rush of anglers to-day to Point Reyes and Shellville. Next week, it the weather continues fine, a varty of anglers will depart for the Russian Kiver, which large stream should soon be in good order 1o receive its whippers. Itis hoped thatthe Fish Commission- ers will have a deputy patrol the Sonoms Creek to-morrow, as it ix reported that an exhibition of fish-spearing will be held not far distant from the town of Glen Ellen. A few weeks ago some large fish were speared in the vicinity of Dr. 0'Don- aell’s ranch. J. E. Locke, who managed in such a successful munner midnight excursions to the angling ana hunting zrounds between | Point Reyes and Duncans Mills, is con- templating giving an excursion in the very near future to Point Keyes. Doubtless if an excursion was run from this City to Point R-yes, leaving here on Saturdsy evening at 8 or 9 o’clock so that the anglers could enjoy a little sleep be- fore morning, quite & number of the patrons of the sport would take advantage of the trip and the early fishing. Should Governor Budd sign the game | bill. before Saturday next, ther a special sportsman’s train to Duncans Mills would be very well patronized, as bunters would | have Sunday to shoot quail and duck and the anglers would certainly enjoy good sport in the tidewaters of the Paper-mill and Russian River. An excursion should not leave this City later, if po-sible, than 8 P. 3, as sportsmen and anglers are as anxious to catch a few hours’ sleep as any other class of men. Within the next few days the California Fish Commissioners will liberate 750,00 | salmon fry in the streams of central Cali- fornia. These littie feillows were incubaied | in the Bear Valley hatchery, in Marin | County. They wiil be released in Rus- sian River and its tributaries, Paper-mill | Creek and its trioutaries, Olema Creek and its tributaries and in the Bear Vailey Creek. The United States h Commis- | sion was made aware of this fact and has | sent word 10 A. B. Alexander to proceed | atonce to the batchery and make a study of the salmon fry, its habits, rate of | growth, fooa, movement and enemies. During the late heavy rainstorm several thousand fry were destroyed by an over- flow of water from the hills waich flooded the breeding depariment of the Bear Val- ley batchery and washed away the little fisnes. Fortunately the attendants by bard and persistent toil saved the lives of several thousand youngsters. The little | fellows will now be given their freedom, and itis hoped tuat the experiment will | prove a success. The eggs were shipped | from the Sisson hatchery o the Bear Val- | ley hatchery som- months ago. Experis in fish culture are of the opinion that the salmon fry will immediately seck thed ocean where they will wax fat and strong. Anglers will be interested in Assembly bill 451, approved by the Governor yester- day, and now in full force and effect. It prohibits the taking, ete., of =almon trout, brook trout or lake trout, or any other variety of trout, except steelhead trout (Salmo Gairdneri) between Dacem- ber 1and April 1 of the following year, every person who buys, sells and catches any steelhead trout between the Ist of February and the 1st of May cach year; and every person who at any time takes | or catches any trout, except wita hook | and line, is goilty of a misdemeanor. Steelhead trout may be taken in tide- water, between the 1st of May and the 1st ot February of the following year with | lawful nets of not less than seven and a balf inch meshes Iree to float with the tide or current. Nothing in the section shall probibit the possession at any time of steelnead trout when taken in tidewater with hook and line. Fresh salmon is protectea be- tween September 10 and October 15. Salmon_above tidewater is protected be- tween October 15 and November 15, or| between sunrise of Saturday and sunset of | the following Sunday. Limits of tide- water in Sacramento "River shall extend from its mouth to Sacramento City ; in the San Joaquin to the Bouthern Pacific briage, near Lathrop; in Eel River to East Ferry, aoove Fortuna; in tke Klamath to north of the residence of James McGarvey; m Smith River to Higgins Ferr; e GUN AND GAME. Changes That Have Been Made In the Game Laws—Trap Shooting, It was reported yesterday that Governor Budd had placed his signature to the game bill, but when the matter was in- vestigated it was learned that the bill was referred back to the Assembly, as somo chunges will have to be made before the | Governor will sign it. If he should sign it during the next weck sportsmen can lawfully shoot wild ducks and quail until Sunday, the 23th inst., when the season will cometo a closé. According to the changes that have been made in tbe old law sportsmen can shoot game birds fitteen days earlier than formerly and the season is extended niteen days. In other words the season will open on October 1and end on March 1. This year sportsmen cannot, accord- ing to the new law, shoot grouse and mountain quail until the 1st day of Sep- nml{;r and the season will end Febru- ary 15, The dove season will open July 15 in- stead of Juiy 1 as former)y. The robn is vrotecied 4t al! seasons of th- vear. The Ppossession of game birds and animalsdur- ing the close season is an offense or viola- tion of the game law and tl.e person found guilty will be fined in a sum not less than $20 nor more than §500. s The Encinal Gun Ciub will hold a grand open-to-all ‘tournament at Birds Point, 1 Alameda, to-morrow, commencing at 11 o'clock. 'All matches will be shot under the American Bhooting Association rules. There are five events on the prozramme, consisting of 10, 15, 10, 20 and 15 bird races. Narrow-gauge trains to and from Ala- meda stop at Pacific avenue every thirty minutes. The Lincoln Gun Club will meet to-mor- row at the Pacific Tournament Association grounds, Alameda junction, and contests at biuerocks will be many. There are eight events on the trap-shooters’ clay- bird programme, and the prizes are valu- able. The Mangua trap will be used. A practice shoot will be held this afternoon, and all lovers of sport are invited. Sportsmen who fancy an outing in the country can have good shooting in To- males Bay, as sea brant are plentiful, and usa table'bird the brant excels any of the wild duck variety. I R O TUG-OF-WAR TO-NIGHT. Opening of the Blg Event at the Mechanics’ Pavliion. Everything is in readiness for the big international tug-of-war, and the doors of the Mechanics' Pavilion will be thrown | open to-night; affording an expectant pub- lic the opportunity of witnessing the ex- citing sport. The ten teams entered are all in splend:d trim for the herculean struggles before them, having unaergone a severe and thorough course of training and line up like Trojans ready for the fray. The men are all determined to do their utmost toward success in striving for the liberal cash prizes and the honor of their respective countries. The nations represented by the teams are: America, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Den- mark, France, Norway, Italy and Sweden. A more boweriul array of exponents of muscle and brawn have never heretofore been represented on the cleats in such a struggle. The teams to be pitted against eachather to-night will be announced at the Pavilion, thus preventing collusion and insuring Tair play in the pools. Pools will be sold every night on ths different contests snd some lively bettingis ex- pected, for the feeling of international rivalry is growing in intensity, which will surely culminate in substantial wagers. The individual pulls are expected to furnish some lively sport each evening, for the men are eager 1o enter, as the ten men with the highest single record throughout the tournement will consti- tute the team of champions which will be a feature of the “'Giant Products Exposi- tion,” when it takes the road next sum- mer visiting the principal Eastern cities, and those of Europe, as aiready outlined in these columna. The tournament will be enlivened throughout with many agreeable diver- sions. There will be voting contests as to team popularity, guessing contests on the time consumed in all the pulls by the winning team, and other sorts of pleasant pastime will intervene while the respec- tive teams are preparing for the fray, { The neighborhood of the Pavilion will present an exciting scene to-might, as in addition to brilliant fireworks, the boom- ing of cannon will announce the opening night of the big battle for muscular honors. A first-class band of forty pieces will be in attendance, and lovers of good music can look pleasantly forward to a rare treat. By special request the Cuban grand march wil be rlayed belore the contests will commence. S COURSING. Fine Weather and Good Sport Is Expected for To-Morrow.

The Capitai City Bluerock Club also had its opening shoot of the season, and some of the members fully demonstrated that they had not lost their shooting eye during theirlong vzcation among the quail and ducks. In the opening mateh at 25 bluerocks that relisble youug shot, Jack Fitzgerald, who bids fair to make e mark in_the shooting world, smashed 24, missing his third bird, a hard side-fiyer; F. M.

It is claimed that the es:ablishmeént of an athletic park in this city is a ioregone conclusion, and that it will be the best on the coast. A chicken main is_on the tapis to take place within two weeks, The affair 1s strictly under ihe rose, and will consist of five batiles be- tween noted birds. RUTHERFORD, ar- THE POOLROOMS MUST BE CLOSED Judge Wallace Sounded Their Death Knell Yesterday. John Glynn Was Promptly Re- manded to the Custody of Sheriff Whelan. Judg: Campbe:l’s Decision Was Upheld and the Ordinance Was Cordially Commended. Judge Wallace yesterday delivered an opinion sustaining the cénviction of Pool- seller John Glynn by Police Judge Camp- bell. This is a hard blow at the down- town poolrooms, and if the law be enforced by the vpolice. all such resorts will be closed in short order. Judge Wallace declared that Judge Campbell aid exactly right in convicting Glynn, and said that the penalty of $100 fine was not excessive, so the defendant will bave to pay or go to jail, and in the meantime it he persist in pursuing his business of poolselling he will lay himself liable to further punishment. The ordinance under which Glyan was prosecuted was passed by the Supervisors of this City about two months ago, and it was decided to make Glynn's case a test case, as about a aozen other trials in the Police Court are still pending, for the pur- pose of securing Judge Wallace's ruling in regard to the constitutionality of the enactment, Judge Wallace said that the ordinance was not only constitutional and valid, but that its merits from the standpoint of public policy are such that it commends itself to tho approval of the courts and the community. i The ordinance was drawn to circumvent all the fake pretensions of the downtown poolsellers that they were collecting com- missions for placing bets on the races at Ingleside, when, in fact, no such trans- actions were possible, but even if the placing of such bets had not been pre- vented by the managers of the racetrack, yet the ordinance was sufficient 10 sup- press these clandestine deadfalls that have k;een the ruin of 50 many young men and 0Vs. Attorney Dunne argued on behalf of the defendant that the new ordinance was oporessive and unjust, as-he thought it deprived his clients of the privileze of conducting a lucrative business which the constitution of the State allowed them to carry on. \ Juage Wallace thought there was no merit in this contention. He held that the power of the community to enact and enforce proper police regalations cannot be legally disputed, and said that in this case there was no ground for disturbing the judgment of the court below. The prisoner was theretore remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. ‘The courtroom was full of pool-sellers and their cappers when Judge Wallace started to give his opinion, but they quickly perceivcd the drift of his re- marks, and, foreseeing the conclusion that he was about to announce, they began to leave, s0 that by the time the remarks of the court were finished the only friends of Glynn left to stand by him were his law- yers and Bailiff Curtis, who stood ready to give lum safe conduct 1o jail.
