The first Sunday race meet ever held in this part of the State and the first under the rules of the California Associated | Cycling Clubs, which now govern all track racing in California, will take place a week from to-morrow—Sunday, May 2— at the Velodrome. The management has prepared a splendid card of events, and es are offered. Attest the fol- scratch, amateur, ; half-mile handi- 7 50; one mile scraten, prof ¥15 thirds of a mile handi $20, 810. It is understood, of course, that the ama- teur prizes are of the values mentioned in merchandise, and the professional prizes in cash. This meet is deserving of the support, either by attendance or competition, of every cycler in this part of the State, and from the hearly manner in which the Herman D. Hadenfeldt, Captain | Olympic Club Whee!men. clubs are taking hold of it it looks as it they willail be there, the attached riders | anyway. Entries close Monday, the 26ih. tits anuual meeting held last Monday evening the Imperial Cycling Club elected the foliowing officers: esident, T. J. Winslow; vice-president, W. ? ; secretary, Geoorge Ward; treas- dwards. hese, with the addi- ozio, E. F. Funn, W. H. Tooker, | Gang, will The road L. Wilson, Caotain Troiliet will take the Imperials on their last club run under the old road officers to-morrow to Camp Taylor, taking the 9 A. ». Tiburon ferry. The Imperials have secured training quarters at the Velodrome. and w have a number of men entered for the meet on May 2. Robvert M. Welch, chairman of the C. A. C. C. track-racing board, is in Los An- geles on a business trip, and while there will take the pulse of the wheelmen of that part of the State on Sunday racing. Itis undersiood that a team of profes- sionals will come up from Los Angeles to take part in the Velodrome races. The members of the San Francisco Road Club under Captain J. S. Lewis will have arun on Sunday to Haywards to witness the road race of the Golden Gate Cycling Club. The run will leave the clubhouse at 8:30 o’clock and the 9 o’clock boat will be taken. Ralph Robinson and Charles Goodwin have been training very earnestly for the Velcdrome meet on Ma; A number of other entries are looked for from among the members, and the ciub hopes to make 8 good showing and win its share of the prizes at the first sanctioned Sunday race meet of the California Associated Cycling Ciubs. ‘The entertainment committee has de- cided to hold the smoker on Saturday evening, May 1, at the clubhouse. They have a large list of talent, and they assure the members that they will have a jolly good time. ¥rank H. Kerrigan, who recently re- signed from the chief consulship of the league in this division, is paid a pretiy compliment in the issue of the American ‘Wheelman of April 8, when, commenting on his resignation, this paper, always & strong advocate of Potter and his idea says editorially: His act shows the characteristic earnestness of the West, that stern intention to accom- plish an_object in spite of any and all oppo- sition. Thai he has resigned also reveals the fact that ne intends to be strictly straightior- ward and honest in ail his actions, Had he so desired he might have retained his official connection with the organization ana worked untold injury to it in his own and neighbor- ing States. It would have been a base of oper- tions and & source Of injormaiion of great value, but he has shown his mauliness by 7 forward end requesting that ne be re- lieved from further allegiance to the league, For that he 18 to be cowmmended; he descrves the encomiums of his former colleagues for being brave enough o state bis position and 1o adhere toit to the not because hon- esty 15 s0 scarce that it should be patted on 1he back when we come in contact with It, but because the temptation was great and he has resisted it without flinching. No matter what viow is taken of the alleged secession move- ment, we must all admit that organized cycling nas lost the services of & good man. At its regular meeting next Monday night, the California Cycling Club will elect a board of directors under its new by-laws. An athletic entertainment will be held at the clubrooms this evening. 1 see that another State racing circuit is contemplated to visit interior towx These undertakings are never financial successes, and the wonder 18 they are started so often. The last one only used one of a hali-dozen dates srranged. The Coulter-Jones match, mentioned exclu- sively in THE CALL a week ago, is dished up as the piece de resistance of ihis new circnit. The Golden Gate Cycling Clup will hold & five-mile road race over the Ban Lean- dro-Haywards course to-morrow morning aL 11 o’'clock. The following are the start- ers: W.J. Black, Robert Black, H.Wolp- man, Al Brill, F. Carroll, C. E. Unfred, G. A. Smitnurst, V. J. Fell, G. A. Hoertkorn, J. Byrnes, T. Dwyer, C.’H. Parks, J. Ches. ney, Charles Leib, J. McClosky, Mecln- tyre, J. Holle, Harry Knell, H.Sadek, G. Hale and F. Arnold. There is to be & match race at five miles to-morrow at 1 o'clock, starting on the county road in San Mateo County and finishing at M-nlo Park, between Al John, Dan Murpny, William Casev and Rodney Taylor. It will probably be one | of the hardest-fought races ever held in San Mateo County. Johnson is champion of the county at present,and tozether with Murpby is a member of the Garden City Cyclers of San Jose. Taylor and Casey are both members of the Caifornia Cycling Club, and are both known as speedy men in rosd events. Taylor was the champion of the county in 1895-96, Tuere is considerable interest manifested in the event at the two clubs mentioned. Herman D. Hadenfeldt, recently elected captain of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, has been a prominent figure in local cycling circles for many years past. He is a hardy road-rider and all-round athlete, and has gained fame also as = timer of road and track event:, being a member of C. C. boerd of official umers. His unanimous election to the cavtaincy of the vig Post-street cycling b was but a proper evidence of appreciation of his valuabie aid at all times cheerfuily given to the sport. The crew of the United States revenue cutier Corwin, since their arrival ai San Diezo, bave developed the bicycle craze bicycies which is unparalieled. One man broke three wheels 1n three bours, whica is not bad for an amateur. Another ran down a wagon and aiso the drum-player of the Salvation Army and another tried to move an unoffending lamp post, which he imagined was in his way. These are only a few of the incidents which occur daily among the Corwin boys. no racers among them, but they guar- antes 1iI they cannot break records they can at least break wheeis. The Corwin will shortly leave the southern port and when she does the proprietors of the bi- cycle-shops will heave a sigh of reliof. I would like to see more hands take hold of the work of building up the mem- bership of tne California Associated Cy- cling Clubs, which has taken up the work formerly done by the League of American Wheelmen in this State. While the mem- vership is growing very rapidly, it should in reality be & sortof a boom. Remem- ber, there is no initiation fee up o May 1. After that date it will be $1. Here'sa chiznce to make $1 pretty easily. Send to Tue CALy cycling depariment for applica- tion blanks and general information. SPALDING. e —— THE ANGLER. Fish Commissloner Vogelsang's Ex~ periencs on Calaveras Craek. The angling season is now well under way and the large streams <hould soon be in splendid order for a good whipping. Al Cumming and Jobn Gallagher, the champion fisherman of Qakland, are hay- ing good sport in the Kiamath, near Ager. Mr. Gallagher writes that the fish are being killed in 2 most unsportsmanlike manner by people Who will not respect the iaw. He says that only flying fish can ascend tne fish ladder and that wire traps are constructed in the vicinity of the ladder by professional fishermen who ship their crtches to Sacramento and San Francisco. Mr. Gallagher will try his luck in Shovel Creek in a ‘ew days and he expects to cap- ture a number of Eastern trout which were planted near the headquarters of the creek about four years ago. Last Saturday Judge Hunt and Alex- ander Vogelsang, the Fish Commissioner, whipped the Calaveras Creek with rather poor results, as the water is yet too high and consequentlv the trout are not very beiay M Wocdiing happened to stray away from the Judge during the day, and on his return to camp the Judge noticed a rather strange look in the lace of the man who loves ax outing by the brook. ““What is the matter, Al, my dear fel- low?” asked the Judge, rather sym- pathetically, knowing that something had gone wrong with his young and hand- some companion. *‘Well, Judge, I'll tell you all about it,” answered the Fish Commissioner, in his open and shove-water way. *I cannot nold a good thing too long, you know, Judge, and here goes with tnhe story.” “I'm all attention, Voge, replied the Judge, as he turned his weather ear within hearing distance of the Commissioner's piscatorial bazoo. “Just as I had quit fishing T met four fellows who were on the homeward tack. They said that they resided in San Jose. Very well. ‘How did you make it, boys,’ I asked, not forgeting, of course, to put on my usual best-I-know-how smile. “The big fellow of the party sized me up—you know in the way country fellows generally do—and then shouted, ‘Didn’t do a tning! “Well, when the fellow got to talking I nnouim it wasall day with me. “‘Look here,’ said he, ‘are you from 'Frisco? “I answered in the affirmative, of course, and you could not guess what fol- lowed. Listen closely. ““If you will be kind enough,’ he con- tinued, ‘to pay a visit to them ’ere Fish Commissioners aud ask them to get a move on up this way when the breeding season is on, there will be some fish left for the anglers when the angling season ns.’ “He had finished giving me particulars concerning the amount of poaching that was done in the winter months, when I startled him with the information that he was addressing a Fish Commissioner. “We had quite a pleasant chat, by the way, and after 1 had explained to him how we were cramped for money he made allowance for the Fish Commission and | threw the burden of blame on the game warden of the county. “But wasn’t it a novel Judge? ‘‘And of course, what could I do in the premises but acquiesce and have Vogey promise that he will take an interest in tne breeding fishes of the beautiful Calaveras next season.” First-ciass trout fishing is reported from the headwaters of the Geysers. The tributaries of the Pluton are furnishing grand sport to anglers. The foilowing card from Horace Smyth, secretary of tue Fly Casting Club, is seli- explanatory : SAN FraNcisco, April 20, 1897. Dear Sir: You will please take notice that on Tuesday evening, Avril 27, at 8:30 o'clock, Dr. Charles H. Gilbert will deliver his lecture on “Fresh Water Fish of California,” at the Tooms o the State Board of Fish Commission- ers, No.78, Flood building. A prompt and full attendance of members is requested. HORACE EMYTH, Secretary. BOXING. Clubs WIil In Future Covering for the Floor, It was rather rough on the club recently organized at San Jose that its first enter- tainment should have such a sad ending. Itis not the first time in the history of the ring, however, that death followed a blow which, although mnot severe, had force sufficient in i%m send the recipient experience, Provide a Ring in a state of unconsfiousness on the flat ot his back, there to fremain until counted out for all time. | In some of the exhminations which have followed the sad termination of a fistic contest physicians have testified that the effect of the blow was not so much the cause of death as the effect of the fall which followed what is generally termed the knock-out blow. The skull of some men is very thin, consequently a slight tap may cause con- cussion of the brain. It can, therefore, be seen that when a fighter fallson a hard and bare floor when in a state of coma and and they have a reputation for smasbing | There are | | | his skull comes in contact with a substance | to cause a postponement, the sport-lovers | who lost on a foul to Charley Rochette, that is not even pliable, the result must necessarily be severe. Time and again the managers of boxing clubs have been asked to place a covering over the boards of a ring; but because of neglect or becanse of the small expense that may be attached to this by no means difficult undertaking they (the managers of clubs) bave been personally responsivle for sccidents that may have resuited from a knockout blow. 1t is, however, not too late for the officers of local boxing organi- zations to take cognizance of this fact and emulate the old California Club and the present INational Club in this respect. The Olympic Club_of this Citv bas a very good card for May 18, and, unlese something unforeseen should happen will be treated 1o a frst-ciass fistic enter- tainment next month. Gans and Leonard are expected to arrive to-day, and aiter they have had a few lessons from Super- intendent Kennedy they will report to their respective training stations. Joe Gans and his old-time manzger, Al Herford, have had a falling out. and ac- cording to & Baltimore paper Her- ford says that he will prevent Gans from fighting before the Olympic Club, but Sir William Kennedy says that there is notning that can stop Gans from doing battle, and that the mill will positively take place. N. Aronson of the Manhattan Club chal- lenges young Sharkey to box him ten rounds before any club. Hiram Cook refereed the following con- tests at the old California Atnletic Ciub atng from May, 1858, to December, 1890. The table will be found quite interesting will be made to make it the greatest club regatta of the season. In the four-oared barge races three crews will enter in each class, viz.: Senior, inter- mediate and junior. Captain McArthur of tne old senior crew, familiarly known as the “Midgets,” sent a formal challenge to Ed Scully on last Sunday morning. Mr. Scally, on be- half of the new senior crew, accepted the challenge, and 1t was agreed to row for a French dinner on Sunday morning, May 9. This will be the starevent of the day as great rivalry ex between these crew; and both are anxious to row the Stockton Giants in the championship recat: The junior barge race also promises to be an interesting one. Three crews will be organized for this event under the management of George Fox, Herbert Hawkins and T. I Fitzpatrick. These crews will commence training immedi- ately. In the senior skiff race an attempt will be made to bring together Frank Duplis- sea, Will McCausiand and Dr. Dennis. In the junior skiff race there are so many entries that it will be necessary to row in heats. The following gentlemen bave already entered: Jim Foley, Matt Breen, James Pallas, Frank Burke, Al Kritz, Archie Campbeli, Charles Cutter and James Feeh Gus Carson, the afterwaist of the semar crew, is wanted at the South End boat- house. The South Ends’ picnic on May 2 to Bohemia Grove promises to be a grand succes The Dolphins wiil hold their annual to all lovers of the game: picnic at Bohemia Grove to-morrow.

According to “Katty Blodes” the re- tired heavy-weight champion newsboy, the sports of the Manhattan Athletic Club lost a nice slice of gold by bet- ting on their favorite Sighter, Fred Muller, t the club’s entertainment last Saturda evening. Blodes gave a rather humorous descrip- tion of the affair, which, he says, termi- nated in favor of the boys who were not in the swim when the arrangements were perfected. “You see,” said Blodes, “we did them. The Manbhattan sports haa everylhing cut and dry and they felt as fine “as silk until the referee was cnanged on them. Tl tell you how we did them. ‘You/see, they went down to the pool- Tooms on the night of the fight and played Muller strong. They ran the odds down from even money to $10 to $7, with Muller on the long end. Well, you know that was raw work, and the boys whno were playing Rochette tumbled right away that something was daft. “Well, I went out with some of the Rochette peopie and we found out that the Manhattan referee, Killeen, was sweet on Muller and that was enough for us. We then knew that Rochette was in for it. Well, we got down to scheming and not s word wns said by any of us until it was time tor Rochette 1o vet in and scrap. 'hen we kicked like staers against th club’s referee and told the Manhattan people that unless the releree was changed that Rochette would not go on with the mitl. “We were satisfied to take any old rgfe;ea so long as Killeen wouldn't act. See. *“Well, during the racket over the objec- tion to the referee I swiped the miits, and then there was a bigh old time. I did that trick so as to give us time 1o select some one of the push I knew would be good to us in case, you know, something would turn up that might go against us. “Well, atter a whole lot of argument and this and that, we all agreed on Gus Herget to referee the ‘zo,” and you know the result. Muller fouled Rochetie sev- eral times, and in the ninth round the referee gave the contest to Rochette on & most palpable foul. Of course the Muller Eeopl. lost their stuff, but they will know etier the next time if they will take my advice.’ / L R e THE OARSMAN.

Now that the cricket season of 1897 is well under way a chirp or two rezarding the growth of the game locally seems to be in order. It is now over thirty years since the game was regularly established in Cali- fornia by the formation of the old Pacific and the Occident clubs, which in the early sixtjes sent a team to British Columbia, Some years later vhe San Francisco Club came ‘into existence, and in 1879 the boys of Trinity and the Boys' High School formed a junior club, playing at the Pre- sidio. In the following year the well- known Merion Club, under the able presi- dency of William Greer Harrison, ap- pearsd on the field, and for three years competed zealously with the Occident and the then existing interior clubs of Grass Vallev and Nevadn City. From 1882 10 1888 there was a hiatus in locul cricketdom, brought about chiefly by the breaking up of the Merions, butin the iatter year a great revival took piace, no less than four clubs, the Pacific, Burnaby, Oakland and Alameda springing up, to say nothing of several country clubs, in- cluding Lake County,San Jose, Peuryn, Bukersfield, Hanford, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, Riverside and Mill Valley. In 1890 the California Cricket Associa: tion was formed for the purpose of gener- ally directing cricket affairs in California and since then the game bas steadily grown in public favor. The Burnaty and | Oakland clubs were short lived, but their places were taken by the Bohemian and Californian ciubs whicl, with the Pacitic and Alameda combinations, seem to have come to stay. Every Sunday and holiday during the | season interclub matches for a challenge cup are played—one at Webster street, Alameda; the other at Golden Gate—and matches against the country clubs will take place from time to time. The match last year against the world- famed Australian eleven, while resulting, as was inevitable, adversely for the local players, did much toward bringing the game before the public, and the effect is slready scen in the incressed attendance of spectators on the grounds. An excellent cricket song has just been issued by the musical and poetic talent of the Harrow (England) School. It has a rattling ctorus and begius thu: Willow the King is a monarch grand; Thiree in a row his courtiers stand; Every day when the sun shines bright The doors of his palace are painted white, And all tne company bow their backs To (he King with the collar of cobbler's wax. S0 ho! 50 ho! may the courtiers sing Honor and life to Willow the King! The games scheduled for to-morrow ar At Alemeda, Pacifics vs. Caiifornias; Golden Gate, Bohemias vs. Alameda.

A game of unusual interest was played last Thursday evening atibe Y. M. C. A. symnasium between the Rushers of San Francisco and the Cyclones of Oakland. The Rushers felt like calling it bad luck when the ball was on the road to the bot- tom of their basket, but rolled around the rim to drop outside. And it happened so often! The Cyclones of Oaklana showed excellent team work and did some beauti- ful goal throwing, which accounts for the score of 13 to 3 in their favor. The Cyclones and the Rushers are fizht- ing for third place in the championship series. First and second places are con- ceded to the Business Men of this City and to the Athens of Oakland. The score now stands as follows: = TrAM. Business Men, S8an Francisco Athens, Oakland .. Cseciones, Oakiand Rushers, San Francisco. Ninety-seveus, San Francisco. B Handball.

SACRAMENTO, CaL, April 22.—The main topic of interest among the local sporting men at present is the boxing contests that will take place before the Sacramento Athletic Club on the evening of the 29th inst,, when Harry Woods of San Francisco and James J. Ryan of New York, welter weghts, will give & ten-round contest, and Tom Cooney of Boston will meet P. Daly of San Francisco in a ten- round go. The 100-m!le road race between the Capital and Terminal City Wheelmen will take place next Sunday. It is claimed that Stock- ton will bave three teams entered and that they will put up & great fight for the trophy. Some unprincipled joker rushed into the Golden Eagle Hotél this week and iniormed Galey Graham, ““Secto crack trout fisher,” that there was a great run of salmon trout in the river and that they had entered the overflow and were taking the fly in good shape. The news proved to be too great & temptation for Galey. Hetook an afternoon off, and mount- ing his wheel rode out on ihe Grant and for severa! hours {u & driviug rain he persistently whippad the surface of the overflow with artistic casts that would tempt any ordinary trout to ivstantly commit suicide, but with- out success. They were not there. It is claimed that “Parson’’ Upson was alsoa vic- tim, A flv-casting club will soon be organ- ized.

Nicoluus 17, Russ Flint 16, H. Gerber 15, F. B. Adams 14, F. Rubstalier Sr. 13, F. Rub- stalier Jr. 12, E. D. Adams 11, L. 8 Upzon 11, F. C. Yoerk 9. The new bluerock club which has been formed =t Washington, just across’ the river from this city, has a good membership, and the boys are improving rapidiy at the traps. The scores made were: Roberts 18, Soule 17, J. Woods 16, Peck 16, Chapman 16, Steigler 15, Strader 12, Moffiti 10, Lee 8, Wilson 5.

ALL READY FCR THE MEET Berkeley Debators and Ath'etes Prepared to Face the Stan‘ord Men. Much Speculatien In. ulged Ia as to the Prob be Outcome of Beth Contests. BERKELEY, Car., Alpril 23.—Second only in importance to t © day of the an- nual intercollegiate football game in the eyes of the University of California stu- dents will be to-morrow. The muscle of Berkeley and Siantord will meet in the afternoon to decide the honors of track | and field athletics, and in the evening the brains of the two institutions will meet on the rostrum. On the same evening the Skull and Keys Fraternity will present its annual play at the Macdonough Theater in Oakiand. On the eve of the battle with Stanford, Runner, From Whom Great Things Are Expected in To- Day’s Game. the U. C. men are anything but confident. Though buoyed up by the series of suc- cesses against the Palo Alto men on the rostrum, the debaters realize this time that they have three formidable oppo- nents in the Stanford representatives. As to the result of the athietic contest the U. C. men are very apprehensive. With a tie last year facing them, and a minority of first-place men this year as against a strong agzregation of Palo Alto men, the chances for a victory are any- thing but promising. Yesterday and to- day have been spent by the athietes in resting and in being rubbed down by the trainers. Astothe debaters, H. A. Over- street, C. C. Cohn and A. P. Weil, they have been whetting their wits and putting their arguments into final shape. The debate will ve held 8 o'clock in Metropoiitan Temple. The field day will take place at the Olympic grounds, beginning at 2 o'clock. Atlo'clock the bicycle races will be run off at the Velodrome. One admission ticket will serve for both the bicycle race and the field day proper. The entire entry list of athletes has slready been published in THE CALL. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CarL, April 23.—Everything is in readiness for the great intercollegiate field day to-mor- row. Arrangements have been made for putting the Olympic Club track in excel- lent shape. T:e teams have been resting since Wednesday, and with the exception of one or two men, are in the pink of con- dition. Berkeley concedes Stanford eight po.nts, and that is zbout the number of first places the wearers of the cardinal expect to take. The mile walk, the bicy- cle race, the shot-put, the high jump, are the cvents in which the blue and gold will probably shine. Lloyd of U. C. and Dole of Stanford are expected to have a battle royal for first place in the pole T anderstood that Berkeley is counte ing on first in both the nurdle Mhces. Stanford, on the other hand, places great confidence m Morgan and Dole. for those two events. Another race which will be hotly contested is the mile run. Bota universities are claiming first place in this race. John Brunton, Charles Dole, Edward Morgan and Brady Burnett ot Stanford are all expected to make a creditable showing. Thc performance of John Brunton in the 100-yard and 200- yard dash will be watched with especial interest.

When you become weak and irritable ; when you wake up in the night in a bad dream ; when your appetite fails you and you get that tired feeling; when your manhood is aimost gone and you get ‘into that dreamy, listless condition ; when you know you have brought zll the trouble on yourself ; then the charm has gone from your existence. Life seems hardly worth the living, you want to be let alone. The society of the gentler sex has no attrac- tions for you. Your thoughts are ever on your weakness, and you grow weaker and more gloomy every day. You don’t want drugs—you have probably tried them. Your trouble is as much an affec- tion of the mind as of the body. What you want is something to give you hope and energy. If there was ever a time in your life when you needed good advice it is now. Dr. Sanden has made a life study of men in your condition. He has * which he gives free to t tells how DR.

He is no longer gloomy and downcast. He regains his ambition, his fire of youth, his manhood. He becomes master of himself who was once a slave to his passions.
