e THE SA MELANGE OF SPORT. The Great Bicycle Tournament — Oar, Gun, Rod Now that the pugilistic championship contest is over, the sporting fraternity will turn its sttention to other lines of amusement. Baseball and wheeling are doing well and theso lines of athletic pas- time will have & brilliant summer. The great indoor tournament which will com- mence this evening at the Pavilion is the absorbing talk among the devotees of cyeling. The fastest riders in this State are numbered among the entrants. Judg- ing from the present appearance of things, there will be large gatherings of people at the Pavilion during the tournament. The anglers are getting ready for the ovening of the trout- fishing season. Sporismen are having a gals time at the traps and the coursing enthusiasts are highly elated over the big events that will take placein the near future. Lovers of rifle-shooting will be well represented to- morrow at the ranges. _—— THE WHEELMEN. Everything In Readlness for the Opening of the Indoor Tour=- nament To-Night. From cycling to pugilism and back again to cycling. There is a vast differ- ence between the two sports, and I must | frankly confess that I greatly prefer the | wyooimen has returned from an ex- wheeling diversion. Not but what box- ingis s great sport, and the Carson trip, its incidents and scenes, are likely never to be forgotten. But somenow the follow- ing was so different. The men were older and more “sporty” looking. One missed the *‘youth ana beauty” of the cycle meets. There were cyclers there, however, a and Bat. amateur race to be run to-night was 80 filled that it had to be divided into nine heats, whicli will necessitate semi-finals before the final. It is a one-mile handi- cap. The one-mile scratch, professional, and the five-mile 1nvitation, professional, will be hot events, as they bring together some of the crack riders of the country. Then there is the five-mile club cup race, which is to be a feature of every evening during the tournament, and which will be the source of considerable warm parti- sanship, as such events always are. The management has made 8 wise move in placing the samission at popular prices, and the comstruction of the rrack makes almost any location in the big building good. The meet will draw an immense crowd, particularly the opening ni%\m, to-night. /. C. Pelot, who witnessed every Na- tional circuit tournament last season, speaks of the outlook for the sport this year as follows: “The indications are that the racing season of '97 will be one of small teams, fast racing, clean work on the part of the riders and & general revival in racing in all parts of the country. From the pres- ent appearance the sport will never get so strong that it can stand on its own feet without aid from the manufacturers. This was proved by the cancellation of held on to the boat and cried for help, His cries were heard by Frank Burke and Archie Campbell, who had been visiting the Oregon n & whitehall boat. They 1mmediately went to the rescue and suc- ceeded in landing him safely at the boat- house. With the exception of a slight cold Mr. Lynch is none the worse for hi experience. A party composed of Frank Reichling, William Mead, J. Mulherne, James Feehan and several friends visited the Oregon on Sunday morning. Mr. Reicl ling, with his camera, took several views of the famous battle-ship, which he in- tends to present to the club as soon as they are developed. Frank Duplissea, Ed Scully, George Bates, Tom Batry, Joe 0’'Dea, George Fox and Jim Foley were out skiff-rowing last Sunday morning. John Mahoney and James Pall; represent the club in the junior sl durine the comiug season. Charlie Cutter and Walter Duplissea are also thinking seriously of purchasing shells and carry- ing off some of the carnival medals. %he long-looked-for baseball game be- tween the South Ena boys and the Dolphins will be played to-morrow after- noon at the Pr io grounds. Both teams are in excellent form, and a close d interesting game is pected. The admission will be 25 cents; ladies free. The proceeds will go the unemployed fund. Al the players will report at the Dolphin boathouse at 12:30 o’clock, and after dressing will row to the grounds. The game will commence promptly at 2 . The Dolyhin outrigeer skiff men are bs- ginning to train for their race in May. Alex Pape, T. M. Fergnson, Charles Far- rell, Will Pateh, T. R.

There were two Bay Cities, one Reliance, one Acme, sixteen Olymplc ‘Wheelmen, and twelve Olympic Cyclers that I actually saw and counted for the curiosity of it. There may have. been others, but they wore coats and overcoats which hid the distingnishing emblems. I come back to find the greatindoor tournament almost ready to be opened, and all the preliminary arrangements in splendid shape. Jay Katon, the cham- pion indoor professional rider of the world, is here, and Fritz Lacey, the champion amateur of Southern California. The big team which has been quartered at San Jose came up yesterday, ana the riders are said to be in fine fettie. The track was almost completed last night, and is a beauty. One Elwell can now thoroughly disabuse his mind of the 1dea that be is the only man in California ‘who can construct a scientifically fast and safe bicycle track. This track iseightlaps to the mile, banked six feet oh the ends and eighteen’ inches on the stretches. It is made of boards, Iaid lengthwise, and is wide enough for four men to safely fight out a race any time. The Pavilion seating arrangements have undergone a marveious change. The di- rectors of the big building have for some time been negotiating with an Eastern house to supply them with a patent chair seat. These have just arrived and were being put. in dposihon last night, They are roomy and comfortable and a great improvement over anything had there be- fore. Manager Shafer is much pleased with the progress that has been made in every- . thing. He knows a good or 2 poor track when he seés one, and he immediately mped his approval on the one con- structed in the Pavilion. If it had not been safe and fast he would not have al- lowed it to be completed until it was made 0. Mayor Phelan has agreed to oven the tournament by starting the first race. *The popular Mayoris an ardent wheelman himself and his official sanction of the meet, as it were, is certainly flattering to the promoters. Blanchard’s military band has been engaged and can be made of con- siderable service and_entertainment dur- ing the running and intermissions. The following is a partial list of officials who will serve: Reforee, Robert M. Welch; judges—Frank H. Kerrigan, Charles Aibert Adams, J. M. Ham- ilton, A. P. Swain, Frank W. Fuller, A. W. Wehe; timers—George P. Wetmore, George H. J. F. McGlynn, Edwin Mohrig; 1li Pixley, C. R. Coulter, D. Conk: ling; clerk of course, George k. Dixon; a: sistants—Walter Geldert, Joseph Lewis, C. Jarman, N. A. Robinson; umpires—J. 8. Egan, Howard Smith, Max Mayer, J. F. Brown; starter, Robert C. Lennie; announcer, Wilbur F. Knapp. 1t will be noted that these officers are all ‘prominent in local wheeling circles, and the fact that they will act is a sufficient zuarantee of the meet for the riders and the public. The entire amount of prize money has been put up, the prizes aggre- gating in value Targely in cash, as most of the eyents will be for profes- sionals. The programme for to-night—entries, heats and handicaps—was given in THE CALL yesterday. There was no_lack of entries for the tournament.

This will make the third suc- cessive year he has been on this team. Lacey 15 one of the crack amateur riders of the State. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold a ten- mile “try-out’ over the Fruityale-. wards course to-morrow at 2 P. M. There will be aciub run by the 9 A. M. broad- boat to witness it, The Reliance Club Wheelmen will hold a similar event in the forenoon, and popu- lar Captain Myrick will take a large dele- gation of members down the road to see the boys ride. The Reliance team will be a potent factor in the coming relay race. Down San Jose way the Garden City Cy- clers will test the speed of some of their new men at ten miles. The club asserts positively that it will enter a relay team Cougblin are the presen: entries. Sunday was_the first trial Ferguson had, and he tried to pull the boa: to pieces. Captain Patch will have him train in a whitehall s0 as not to strain the boats before the race. Pape hss rowed solong in a whitehall that he finds it difficult’ to acquire the knack of handling a sliding-seat boat. The rest of the entries—Patch, Keenan, Farrell and Cougblin—have beeu rowing for some time, and they only need to cul- tivate their wind. A crew composed of Will Patch, stroke; Tim Hopkins, after- waist; J. J. Cronin, forward waist, and Lith Duncan, with G. K.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 18. — Game Warden Helms reports that canvasback, red- head and bluebill ducks are very plentiful in this locality at the present time, and the chances are that a larger number of these ducks will nestaround here this season than ever before known. This is directly traceable to the efficient protection afforded the birds during the past two years by this energetic official, who has become & terror to the vio- Iators of the game law in this vicinity, and nes a personal record of more arrests and convic- tions than any other game officer 1n the State. Being a thorough sportsman his whole neart is bound up in 1he prompt performance of his duty, which he carries out without fear or of and at & total disregard of personal asuger. The greatest violators of tho law fn this lo- cality are the Portuguese and Italians, who live down in the tule disiricts. These people 1l ducks all the year round and hi have defled the law and its officers, made frequent threats to kill any of the latter who attempted to make any. arrests. Helms however, has demonstrated that he was g00d & shot as any of them,and would have no hesitancy in shooting in seif-protection. He has frequently made arrests in their midst, and his utter fearlessness in doing so has put & 5top to the killing of game out of season. Helms reporis that the black bass and perch which he pianted in the chain of lakes below the city are doing well. Some time since, while screening oue of the lakes, several of the perch and bass were caught and returned to the water. They were in good condition and seemed to be thoroughly at home. The Pelican Gun Club hes elected the foliow- ing-named officers to serve during the ensuing yeas esident, Frank Rustaller Jr., to suc- ceed Parson Upham; secretary and treasurer, E. Nicolaus; captain, F. C. Yoerk. The mem- bers decided'to have their live-bird shoot every third Sunday in the month. The project toconstructan athleticand base- ball park in this vicinity has been taken up by Norton of San_Francisco, who ciaims that he will furnish the funds and fit everything up in first-ciass style. He intends consiructing a three-lap bicycle track, a cinder path for {00t~ racing, a grand stand, with dressiug-rooms, baths and all things necessary {o make thi o best grounds west of the Mississippi. The Capitol City Wheelmen bave dectded to hold their great meet some time in April, after the weather settles, but the exact date has as yet not been decided upon. At their next meeting some of the mombors will propose New York and John Riordan, the cham- pion of the coast. The New York veteran expressed a de- sire to meet the best man on the coast, and the match was arranged with Rior- dan. Among the spectators were J. C. Nealon, P. T. Donnelly, the amateur champio: T, F. Bonnet, M. J. Kilgallon, J. Harlow, Joe Lawless, Al Hampton, R. Linehan, J. Feeny and every handball-player of note in ti ity. The difference physically between the two players w: triking. "Riordan is tall and thin and sinewy, while the ex-Alder- man, who is 65 years of age, has an ath- letic frame of fine proportions. ‘I'he match was the bestof five games and the tirst was a rattler. The play was fast and it was nip and tuck from start to finish, The veteran won the gai by 21 t020." The second game was a cinch for the veteran, who won by 21 to 2. Rior- dan pulted himself together and won the third by 13 to 21. The fourth was won by the veteran by 21 to 7, and he was loudly cheered by the spectators. The following was the score: 21 21 18 21 2 321 7 Sunday afternoon the veteran will play a single-handed game against T. F. Bon- net, by special request, as Bonnet's ad- mirers think he can give the veteran more hard work than any other player. P e THE - YACHTSMAN. The Drawbridge at Tiburon Opens ‘To-Morrow.

UNEMPLOYED BUSY ON THE BOULEVARD The Beautiful Driveway Is Rapidly Being Built., The Managers Wish the Public to Visit It to See What Is Done. There Is No Shirking of Work and All the Men Are Honest y Earn- ing Their Dollar a Day. The problem of the unemployed is being to a very large extent solved by the success of the plan to give them work on the big boulevard, which is being opened up from the Golden Gate Park to Ingleside road. A representative of THE CALL vis- ited the grounds yesterday afternoon and found 188 men hard at work, and William M. Bunker, chairman of the general com- mittee, says there will be from fifty to seventy-five additional hands there to- day. Not only are the most deserving men and those most in need being given an op- portunity to earn a dollar a day, but a splendid driveway is being rapidly con- structed, which will when finished be a very valuable addition to the City’s at- tractions. The men are so diligently at work that there is no question about their earning the wages, and San Francisco will get the full worth of every dollar ex- pended in this benevolence. The management of the funds and su- perintendence of the work is 5o thoroughly systematized there is no chance for any waste. The plan is for every dollar of the donations to go to the unfortunate men who have been unemployed, and the shov- els, wheelbarrows, a. um ber, etc., all been furnished gratis. The very im- portant item of directing ‘the work 1s ob- tained free of cost, and it appears that 8an Francisco is getting & great bargain in hav- ing this beautiful drive constructed so economically. One of the gangs of men was busily cut- ting a bundred-foot swath through the pine forest, another was grubbing up big trees by the roots, another down in the mud and water was digging a trench for the great 42-inch iron pipe which is being placed under that portion of the road they are now grldlnr. A large number were tearing down hills, while their companions wheelrd the dirt away to fill in ravines, and there was no indfcation anywhere of slow and slouchy work. John McCord, the chairman of the con- struction committee, drives out to the grounds every forenoon to push the work along and then returns to work for the good cause in the City. He also furnishes a horse and b\asgy for the use of the sup- erintendent. The fact that he is also chairman of the Boulevard and Driving Association makes his knowledge and assistance of great advantage to the carry- ing through of the design. Chairman William M. Bunker gives his personal attention to the operations, and isout on the grounds every day and all day. He has had a large experience in this kind of work, as he was chairman of the construction committee three years ago when the unemployed 'ned unde: his_dircetion $93,000 in developing the park, His familiarity with superintend- ing large gangs of workmen so s to get the best results from their labor exciudes any likelihood of there being any waste through idleness or ill-planned methods of work. Chairman Bunker says they now have bout $9000 in round numbers on hand, and as the policemen, Custom-house em- \ployes and others have promised gener- ous contributions he thinks there may be $15,000 in sigut. Bat this is not one-third enough to complete the boalevard, and the army of men seeking is increasing so rapidly that the present fund will soon be exhausted. Those who have the mat- ter in charge earnestly desire that the attention of the public should be called to what is being done and to the need of more money, both as a charity and as a benetit to the City. The most careful scrutiny is eiven to every application for a job, and only those in the most urgent need and most deserv- ing ofassistance are given the tickets that admit them to the working force. The work will be 80 far extended by to- night that those who go for an outing on Sunday afternoon would do well to 5" by and see what is being done. At the suggestion of ex-Mayor Kllert, 8 way was opened yesterday by which vehicles can get to the scene of the men’slabors. The managers are desirous of having the people come out and see for ‘hemselves what hard work is being done, and also what a handsome driveway the City will bave as a result of this charity. A view of it, they are confident, would produce many more liberal donations. About the beauty of the boulevard there can be no question. It is intended to con- nect the new drive with the lngleside road, and this will be widened and im- g&())vefl without cost b men who are now idle in the House of Correction. Down the lovely Ingleside road the drivers can pass through ave- nues of tall trees, und thence out to the broad boulevard on the ocean beach and return home through the main dnveway of the Golden Gate Park. The whole cir- cie will be about’sixteen miles, and it would be hard to find anywh in the world such a combination of attractions for a two hours’ spin. It will take in all the beauties of the park, and pass through a strip of country with alternate hilds and valleys, and then traverse four miles along the surf.

OURTAILED THE HONEYMOON. H td Mrs. William Sheppler After Three Days of Married Life Skips Out. After a three days' honeymoon Mrs. William Sheppler, who had been Bessie Young, deciued that wedded life wasa dismal succession of faitures. William Sheppler, three days & happy husband, is now scouring the City for a trace of his recreant frou. Sheppler, who is a steward in Wester- field’s restaurant, claims to have known Bessie Young from childhood. He wooed her and, as he fondly supposed, won her. Saturday they were married at St, Paul’s Church in properstyle, and in the evening & reception followed. Tuesaay evening, when Shepnler came bome from work, he . found a note from the work of the ! bis newly wedded wife saying she was go- ing lorever and expressing sentiments toward William which jar vigoroualy con- ventional ideas of a honeymoon. She also took the wedding presents, a fact ‘which Sheppler does not overlcok in re- lating his woes. He however expresses his willingness to take her to the flat which he had furnished up for her and forgive all. In the meantime Mrs. Shepp- | ler has not been located. Her parents, who reside on York street] claim to be as much at loss as their be- reaved son-in-law. Friends of the girl say she was opposed to the marriage, but parental influence prevailed. —————— HANDBALL. Games That Will Be Witnessed To- Morrow In the San Francisco Court.
