o S THE SAN FRANCISCO "CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1897 The next sporting event of importance | will be the dog show of the San Francisco I Kennel Club, which will open on Wednes- day at Mechanics’ Pavilion. Doubtle:s there will be many people going to the dogs next week. | The wheelmen will all join in the Wet- more outing to-morrow, as it promises to be one of the great pleasure events of the season. The Pacific Yacht Club will entertain its friends this evening at the grounds in Sausalito. The Corinthians will have a race to Vallejo this evening and will return on Sunday. The Olympic Club will i boxing entertainment at Wood- Pavilion on Tuesday evening.

Itis just as well to give the racing end of the game a rest anyway, or we will get tired ‘ of Besides, this is the season of club runs, and the Velodrome managers should | not be disappointed if some of the club | captains persist in leading their men out o the open country, instead of toward | their pluce of amusement. The feature of | t0-morrow in the sport is the annual run | of the Bay City Wheelmen to Blithedale, | arranged by Mr. Wetmore. It will prob- | ablv be attended by over 200 wheelmen. | Two meets are scheduled for the last of | this month which promise excellent spor:. | The first is on Sunday, May 30, at San Jose, and wili be hela by the Garden City | Cyclers on th jamed three-lap cement | track. It will be the first Sunday meet ever held there, but as a free admission | exhibition meet in March, 1895, at the time of the opening of the 'track, when Jones broke the one-third miie world’s | Tecord, crowded the grounds uncomforta- | biy full, 1t is expected that the cominz | meet will receive the support of the | cvcling-loving public there as heartily as | the weekday meets have been in the past. | and every one knows what crowds San | Jose can attract to a race meet. The programme Gf events and prizes is | as follows: e open (profes: nai)—§50, §25, $15. rds of a mile hsndicap (proes- $20, $10. o1 mile seratch (smateur)—$25, handicap (amateur)— §15, Entries close with J. A. Desimone, sec- retary race-meet committee, Sunday, May 23. The day following the San Jose meet (Monday, Mey 31. which is Decoration day and a iegal holiday) the Ariel Bicycle Ciub will hold races on its new track at Vallejo, a description of which was given in THE CALv last sonday. The events Haif mile scratch (amateur)—$20, $10, $5. Five joiles, club championship (A, B, U)— | Blue ribbon. The entries for this meet will close Mon- | day, May Of course both of these ts are under sanction from the Cali- fornia Associated Cycling Clubs, as an L. A. W. sanction_would not be worth the paper it was written on in this part of the State now. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will hold a biz road race Sunday, May 23. To-morrow is the day set for the great- est outing that the Bav City Wheelmen take. It is the fourth annual Wetmore run to Blithedale, so called because once a year ex-President Wetmore invites all the members, ex-memoers and friends of tize club to join in a short ride to this pop- ular Marin County summering place, where outdoor games form the chief di- vertissment, and where the table rivals the festal boards of Centerville, long | jamed for excellence among wheelmen. ‘1he Wetmore run is an invitetional affair, and up to resterday noon seventy-seven acceptances had been received, principaily from ex-members and guests. When this | number is swelied by a large proportion of | the ciub’s present membership of 157 there will be an immense gathering of wheelmen, and a joyous time is antici- pated. | ‘The programme isto take the10 A. M. | Sausalito boat. From Sausalito the dis- tance by wheel is only six miles, Those without wheels will take the train to Mill postponed run of the Cams a Club ts to Vilia de Como, near San Ausei- me, will be held to-morrow. Captain Ar- geni’s orders are to take the 9 A. x. Sausa- Iito boat and train to Corte Madera, riding awheel from that point. A race meet was to be held at Healds- burg to-day, the star attractions being Couiter and Jones, the well-known pro- fessional riders, but this meet has been called off and instead one will be held at Banta Rosa to-morrow. J. E. Alexander, at one time a member of the Garden City Cyclers’ racing team, and Miss Wanda Miller, will be married in San Jose on May 20. R. R. Russ, ex- captain of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, and Miss Charlotte Brosius, will a.so be married in the Garden City, the date set being June 14. Cycling and matri- | mony seem 1o zo well together. Here we | have had Ravlin, Foster, Argenti and Brunt and now Alexander and Russ. The California Associated Cycling Clubs have decided to issue a new roadbook of this State at once, which will be far mere complete nd vaiuable than any hereto- fore printed. The entire roadbook com- mitice recently appoinied by President Swain, consisting of Messrs. Welch, Ker- rigan, Wynne, Stratton, Adams and A. @. McFarland, will meet to-night at Sec- retary Scovern’s house, and as all thej necessary data has already been gathered #t will not take long to get it in snape. The Alameda Cyclers, having been burned out last Sunday night, have se- cured temporary quariers on Santa Clara avenue, near Park street, and will give a benefit performance on 7Thursday even- ing, May 27, to raise funds to refurnish their quarters. The California Cycling Club has issued invitations for a social hop to be_held on Wednesday evening, May 26, at Hinman’s Hall, Howsrd and Twenty-first streets. Its aancing parties are always very select ana thoroughly enjoyable. The posiponed high jinks and smoker of the 8an Francisco Road Club will be held on Thursday evening, the 20th inst. The racing committee have decided to hold a five-mile handican road race for club members on Sunday, the 20th of June, over the San Leandro-Haywards course. They promise a number of valuable tims San Francisc i cisco; | Wynne will have a match race on this oc- sustans and place prizes. No regularrun bas been alled for to-morrow. The C. A.

The racing rules of the California Associated Cyeiing clubs for both road and track are ready for delivery and may be had on appiica- tion to anv membez,of either the Road or Track Racing Committee. The track racing rules differ in few respects from those heretofore in use. The arbitrary attempt of the League of American Wheelmen to divide California inio two States and to de- clare that amateurs from the soutnern part of the State shallnot travel beyond a fixed dis- tance from their homes to compete With ama- teurs in the northern partor the State is ig- | v formed is as fi ‘Thom pson hood of Elec H. C. Lendbetier, Tach; bourne, V nored. Henceiorth amateurs are free to com- pete at any distance from their homes within the State, To this extent California is re- united. The attention of refcrees and race promoters is called to changes in track rules as follows: 1. Relating to duties of starter. The rule as to recall in case of a fall at the start is amended 10 read as follows: “In case of a fall within thirty feet of the scrateh line the contestants shall be recalled Dy the starter and the race started over again, but this shall not apply to the iall of a Con- t caused by the breaking of hisown if no other contestant Js thrown there- | 7. In the event of the breaking ot & contest- aut’s wheel at the start there soall be no de- lay to permit him to repair the injury or ob- | tain another wheel, but if there 1s any subse- quent irial hear of the same event the reieree may permit him to ride therein.” 2. Relating to trisl heats—In ail trial heats for scratch races a psce.naker or pacemakers may be designated by the referee, who shail start from scratch, at the pole, and the pace- maker or pacemakers shail quslify for the finai pn)\‘h)li‘(l they finish over the tape. | These pacemukers shall not be adjudged dis- tanced. final and the elimination of the slowest heat may also be epplied by the referee to the trial heats of a scratch event wherein pacemakers | have not been designated. R. M. WELCH, Chairman Track Racing Committee, C. A.C. C. Captain Robbins has called a run of the California Cycling Club for to-morrow to | Menlo Park, to join the Menlo Road Club on its picni¢ run. John Burkeand Henry casion. i The racing board of the Associated | Clubs_desires to deny the statementin a | morning paper that pool-selling will b> | permitted at the meet to be held at Val- | lejo on May 31 or at any meet under the | association’s sanction, The sanction of | any club that permits pool-selling in con- nection with a meet it may bold will be at | once revoked and future sanctions denied the club. The next meeting of the board of goy- ernors of the association will be held Saturday evening, June 5, at Sacramento, the bonrd being the guests of the Capital City Wheelmen. The next day the club will hold a big meet there on its new three-lap track. Arrangements are being made here for a special car to leave here Saturduy afternoon, conveying the board ol governors to iis meeting and such racing men as will go uj—officials, train- ers, clubmen, etc. As the number who are going must be known soon, applica- | tions for passage on this car should be made to Charles Albert Adams, Phelan building, at once. Over thirty have al- ready signified their intention of making | the trip. SPALDING. —— ATHLETIC. A California Amateur Athletic As- soclation Will Be Formed This Month. The officers of the Olympic Club have called a meeting of amateur atnletes for the evening of the 28th inst., for the pur- pose of organizing a purely California amatear atLleiic association. The leader of the club, Howard Patrick Taylor, bas sent invitations to the Academic Athletic League, the Acme Club, Fresno Athletic Club, Stanford University, Reliance C.ub, Sacramento Athletic Club, St. Mary’s Col- lege, Stockton Athletic Association, Los Angeles Athletic Club, Y. M. C. A. of this City and Oakland and the University of California, asking them to send represen- tatives to the meeting. Athietics at the Young Men’s Christian | Association are at present in a state of chaos, and it is hoped that the trouble be- tween the athletes and the officers of the association wiil, in a short time, come to a proper head as they were about a coupls of months ago. Last week about twenty-five of the athletes of the Young Men's Christlan Association orgauized, independent of the association, a club which was named the Union Athletic Club, for the purpose of ho'ding on Sundays cross-country runs, bicycie runs, field days, baseball, and other pastimes which they feel, as do many others, that, if they had in thus City half-holidays on Saturdays as in the East, the athletes would lessen their de- sire to find the different sports they now look for on Sundays. The officers of the club are: Fred L. Shaw, president; H, C. Guittard, vice- president; George Klarmann, captain; W. V. Harder, secretary and treasurer; and L. Jennin.s, first lieutenant. The general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Henry J. McCoy, upon hearing of the organization of said athletic club and of the club's meeting-place being one of the association’s rooms, immediately opposed the actions of the athletes and also gave directions disallowing them to have their pians carried out under the auspices of the association, as he thought it would be against the workings of the association. He also hopes that the athlelic club be bot allowed to exist, as he thinks it against the rules of the association. As for the athletes themselves who have joined the club, they do not in any way whatsoever wish to antagonize the Young Men’s Christian Association, but are quite put out by the way they have been treated by the general secretary and other officers, as they say they are not at all detrimental 10 the Young Men’s Christian Association in any wav, but are a special, independent organization in tbemselves, although at the same time being members and work- ing for the welfare of the association. ——pt THE ' PUGILISTS. The Olymplic Club ‘Fistic Carnlval. Record of Charley Mc- Keever. The directors of the Olympic Club are expeciing a large crowd at Woodwara’s Pavilion on the evening of their fistic en- When there are more than two heats | none in the siowest heat shall qualify for the | tertainment, and doubtless they will not be disappointed, as the card is a good one. Professor Miehling, the wrestling in- structor, wiao has been looking after Leonard and Baker for the past few weeks, states that the pugilists are i good condition and will surprise the knowing ones who are playing Jeffries and Gans. The last-named pucilists are strong favorites, and it is thonght that on the evening of the mills Jeffries will sell at $10 as against $4 on Baker, and that the backers of Gans will have to give very long odds. What betting has been done 50 far was $10 to $3, with the Baltimore lad n the long end. The Nationa: Club has not as yet de- cided which evening this month it will give the sporting public an opportunity of seeing Georze Green and Charley Mc- Keever in battle. The directors have been figuring on the evening of the 26ih nst., but as the California Club people have ae- cided to held their show on the evening of the 3lst inst. doubtiess the Nationals will postpone their carnival until some day 1n the early part of June. McKeever will be many pounds lighter than Green when the pair will meet in the ring. They have signed to right at catch. ghts and that will mean that McKeever will weigh about 138 pounds and Green 148 pounds. The Kastern man does not seem to care very much about the handicap. He says that almost every fight he has had he gave his opponent a handicap 1n weight. McKeever must bea great fighter if record speaks the truth. Here itis: Beat George Dixon in four rounds, Owen Ziegler in_four, Stanton Abbott in six, Jack Everhart in_six, Jack Hanley in two, Andy Watson in three, Jimmy Miicnell in 'three, Jimmy Fox in four, Billie Young in eighteen, Con Moriarity in four, Mike Coyle in four, Tom Moriarity in six, Lee’ Damso in four, Wongo (Indian) in two, Tom Hurley in twenty-four, Tom Farrell in twelve, at Draper in one, Peté Boyle in four, Ed Meyers in two, M. Caffery in seven, Ed McGinley in two, Ed McConnell in four, Mike Mullen in niue, James Wood in iour, Ed Derro in four, Will Dougherty in five, Pat Boy.e in eleven, Joe Kennedy in three, Ed Japan in four, Owen Ziegler in six, Mike Coyie in fourteen, Jack Everhurt in six, Arthur Val- entine (champion of England) in seventeen, Jack Randall in nine, J. Quigley ir four, Young Griffo in_twenty, Tommy Franey in four, George (Kid) Lavigne in six, Bull McCarthy in six, Ch-riey Johnson in six, Jack Datley in six, Owen Ziegler in three, J. Quigiey in six, Bull McCartoy in six, Jimmy Fox in sixteen, Owen Ziegler in six, Pat Sraper in four, The following challenge to Dal Haw- kins has been received: Joe Hopkins (colored) of New York, who re- cently fought Frank Erne twenty rounds and who Tecently defeated George Dixon, would like to meet Dal Hawkins, and if suitable purse and expenses are_offcred will start for the coast and meet Hawkins in Juue or July. F. C. Borsster, Manager Joe Hopkins. 478 sud 480 Pearl street, New York. The Excelsior Athletic Club held its first regular meeting last evening, and 8 num- ber of new members joined. The club will give its first pugilistic and athietic exhibition Thursday, the 27th inst., with such talent as Spider Kelly aud many others. The club is now negotiating with Joe McAuliffe and Van Buskirk for a match to be heid at Woodward’s Pavilion some time in Julv, — - ANGLING. San Andreas Lake WIill Be Open to Fishermen on June 1. The Spring Valley Water Company has at last concluded to give anglers an op- portunity of cleaning out some of the wormy fi-hes of Lake San Andreas a month earlier than the directors proposed. At a meeting held last week Messrs. Howard, Borrell and King, who, it ap- pears, have the powar to issue or refuse anglers permission to wet their lines on the preserved waters of the company, decided to open the lake in question to ‘‘the gentle artists’” until July 1, but when they discovered that the trout of San Andreas Lake are in a most sickening condition | this year, the “experts on fishes’ altered their intentions and concluded, and wisely, too, that they would issue permits to anglers on June 1. It can be said without fear of contradic- tion that there will be a rush of trout fishermen to_the lake on the first Sunday m_June, and then the lovers of good things eatable will have an opportunity of tasting the flavor of trout parasites which some of the connoisseurs contend are of as good flavor as the stall fed ground worms which are prized so highly by the epicures of France. The Crysial Spring Lake, wh'ch con- tains thousands of bass and trout, will not be opened to anglers this year, and doubtless it will be closed to the fra- ternity for all time. Messrs. Walker and Cooper returned from Wrights station last Sunday with nice messes of trout and excellent appe. tites. James Watt states p ively that he saw a beautiful mermaid last Sunday while fishing the San Pablo Creek and that it disappeaied the instaat it caught sight of his specs. But Mr. Watt contends that it was a beautiful maid, nevertheless. Frank Dolliver states that he has a leather spinner which will attract fish when all spoons fail. He has applied for a patent, John Gallagher, the champion trout- catcher of Oakland, will soon take his de- parture for the mountains, where good sport is always sure to be had during the summer. i THE OARSMEN. The South Ends and Other Crews Tralning for the Coming Regatta. . At the last regular meeting ot the South End Rowing Club it was decided to post- pone the club regatts until Sunday, May 30,at 11 o. M. By that time it is hoped thut ali the crews will be in racing con- dition and no trouble will be encountered in selecting material for the big El Campo regatta to take place on Sunday, June 20. A committee of three, consisting of Joseph Lyons, Matt Breen and T. L Fitg- patrick, were appointed for the purpose of making arrangements and matching crews for the club regatta. Joe Lyons and his junior crew were out again last Sunday morning and rowed to the Dolphins and return without a stop. If these gentlemen keep on with their good work it is more than likely that they will be heard from in the big regatta. The crew consists of the following: Joe Lyons, stroke; Alex McGeorge, after waist; Wiil Fox, forward waist, and Frank Tobin, bow. Another crew equally as good as the sbove mentioned, consisting of . Frank Burke, stroke; James Feehan, after wais Wili McHerin, forward waist, ana Wil Mead, bow, was also out last Sunday and rowed a strong and steady stroke over the three-mile course. Jim Foley and Bob McArthur will com- pete in the junior shell race. McArthur will row McCausland’s old shell. Foley been making exiensive repairs ol the old shell Growney, and says he will surprise the natives when the word to start is given. Henry Bode 1s in training for the junior skiff race, and may be seen almust every evening, together with Dr. Dennis, count- ing the number of strokes between Long bridge and the sugar wharf. The new senior crew is now in excellent form and waiting patiently for the 30th to arrive, when they expect to lower the col- ors of the Midgets. Some time ago Manager Foley of the Bouth End baseball team sent a challenge to the batl team of the Pioneer Rowing Club and, sad to say, the challenge was not accepted, as the "Pioneers did not be- lieve 1n breaking the Sabbath by playing baseball. The South Ends contend that cold feet was the true reason. Fred Webster, the well-knowa Olympic Club wrestler, hias applied for membership to the South End lgnwins: Club and will be admitted at the next meeting. 2 = BASEBALL. The Australlans Will Play the San Francisco Athletic Club To- Morrow. To-morrow at Central Park the Ausira- lians will play their last game prior to their going East. Their opponents will be the crack San Francisco Athletic Club team. This should be an interesting game, as in their last contest the Athletic Club won out by a narrow margin in the last inning. The Australians were dissatisfied with the treatment they received from the um- pire, and therefore sent a challenge to Manager Conroy to piay for $100 a side. The game will be called at 3 p. . sharp. Two interesting games will be played this afternoon at the Presidio Ataletic Grounds. At 12:30 o’clock the Bacramento High School will play the Lowe!l High Sehool, and at 2:30 o’clock the Oakland High School will play the Polytechnic High School. At BSixteenth and Folsom streets to- morrow the following games will be vlayed: Excelsior vs. B. B. Club, Precita Parlor ve. Llah Club, Volunteers vs. Otitos and the J. J. O'Briens berg, Strauss & Frohmans. Atthe Presidio Athletic Grounds to- m(;rmw the following clubs will play baliz At 10 A. M. the Calliopeans will line up against the California Markets as follows: The Conway & Baumels will piay the George H. ‘ays, and the Union lron Works clerks will play the apprentices. ‘There will be an interesting game of baseball this afternoon at Central Park between the ball teams of the Mission Grammar School and the Adams Gram- mar School. Game will be called at 3:30 o’clock sharp. At the new Alameda grounds, Schuetzen Park, narrow gauge, tue following games will be played to-morrow: 10A. M., cuse & Retamels vs. West End Bazuars, for the champion~hip of Alameda County; 2 Oakland’s strongest teams—the Re- e of Reliance Athletic Ciub vs. C. J. emans—will cross bats. At the same grounds, at 10 A. M., the Fruitvale Stars will cross bats with the Buffalo B. Co. e VOLLEY BALL. A New Game Which Is Now Played at the Y. M. C. Assoclation Bullding. A new game called volley ball was played for the first time on the Pacific Coast last Tuesday evening at the gymna- sium of the Y. M. C. A. “Volley ball” is the invention of Mr. Morgan of Holyoke, Mass,, who has been instructor in gym- nastics and athietics for a number of years. Volley ball has the following advan- tages over basket-ball, handball and lawn tennis: Itisnot so rough as basket-ball, accidents are almost impossible; it is not Lable to be 50 one-sided as handball and tennis usually are for the average player and the expenses for court and outtit are very small. T'he game is fully described in the *‘As- sociation Athletic’ Handbook for 1897,” where also the rules ure given in detail. The game played Tuesday evening was a practice game beiwean two teams from the Mission Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation and from the German Branch Y. M. C. A. Four men played on a side with tne followin line-up: Mission team—Lamont, Tayler, Smith, Sankey, McCloud. German team — Herrings, J. Tonjes, Horner, H. Tonjes. ‘The score of tne volley ball game stood 40 to 31 points in favor of the Mission team. J. C. Daub acted as referee. The gymnasium floor is aivided into two courts by a net suspended from two posts about siX feet from the ground. The net is avout twenty-five feet long. The play- ers are placed on each side oi the net, and their number can be from two to twelve on each side, according to the size of the playground.” Each side plays nine i nings ina reguiar game. 1The game is started by one player of a side batung the ball from a position having one foo. on the back line over the net into the op- ponent’s court. Two trials are allowed for each service. Should the server fail to bat the ball over the net in the two trials, then another player of that side has 10 serve or bat the ball over the net. When the ball goe: over the net the opposite side has to re. | turn it before the bail touches the ground. 8o it is batted back and forth until 1 strikes the floor or is batted out of bounds. Failare to return the ball according to rp:iles counts one point for the opposite side, Th game is recommended by th physical direc ors’ conference, which was Deld in Springtield, Mass., last y The first exnibition game of vol:ey ball is to take place on Thursday evening, May 27, at the gyn.nasium of the Young Men’s Ch-istian Association of this City. On the same -vening and ai the same place the 8an Francisco Busine: en’s team will play their last yame in the present basket-bail tournament. R cogh e o3 Basket Ball. The last game played between the Cy- clones and the Athens from Oakland was the surprise of the season. The Athens were considered Oakland’s best team. They were second only to the Business Men of San Francisco, but now the Cyclones have beaten them bi‘. score of 8104 Captain Kerr und Lelt Forward Lausten of th Cyclones were too quick n which ue purchased lxom“or the Athenians and outplayed them Mar- | quite easily. The Athens missed many good chances at goal-throwing. The game played last night between the Rushers and the Ninety-sevens was a fine exhivition of the basket-ball game. The team work ot the Rushers was very creditable. Their men had a great ad- vantage over the Ninety-sevens in their 8z and strength. They did not have so many chances at the goal, but their chances were well improved by Nunan, Spacher, Simpson and Captain Shaw. Little Key and Captain Townsend showed up well for their side. The score was 12 to4 in favor of the Rushers, The tournament will soon come to its close. Should the Business Men's team win the championship, it might be pos- sible for them to spend their summer vacation on a trip south, playing the basket-ball teams of the different towns. s e CRICKET CHIRPS. A Change In To-Morrow’s Pro- gramme and General Notes of, Interest. Owing to a sudden bereavement in the Ward family tho Alameda team will not meet the men from San Jose at Alameda to-morrow, as arranged.

The €an‘Francisco Club’s Bench Show Will Open on Next Wednesday. One of the most interes:ing features of the coming bench show of the San Fran- cisco Kennel Ciub will be the kennel of dachshunde owned by W. H. McKittrick. The dam of the kennel, Jessie Victoria, was bred in England, and since being brought to this country has won first in the. challenge class at New York and seven other firsts in the cnief cities of the East. Thesire of the kennel is Myrick, bred by Mannis of New York. Mr. Mc- Kittrick will bench the greatest kennel of dachshunde ever shown on the coast. The San Francisco Kennel Club will bench an aggregation of dogs never be- fore equaled west of the mountains. Bix hundred and forty entries have been re- ceived and among them dogs never be- fore exhibited in this City or elsewhere. The largest single kennel shown will be that of W. 8. Hobart, who has entered forty English foxhounds besides others of various breeds. The entry of St. Bernards this year is gr.;);t. In all the breed will show a total of 59. In the Great Dane exhibition will be the challenge dog Rex, belonging to Mrs. Alfred Roncovieri. Rex is the only Great Dane dog on the coast in the challenge class. Another noted kennel will be that of W. H. McKittrick’s eleven dachshunde. Dr. McNutt’'s handsome staghouna will be in splendid condition. The aog is in charge of James Watt, who is a great sportsman and handler. eyt COURSING. Prominent Sportmen Are Inter- ested In the Le; of New Grounds. Some sportsmen of mea who are prominently identified with coursing, held a meeting last evening at a sporting re- sort and discussed at length a scheme to open a new coursing park. Itis said that the gentlemen interested in the project were very enthusiastic over the fature for coursing in this State, and that before the meeting had adjourned over $10,600 was promised by five of the coursers present as a starter for the leasing of land and the building of a grand stand, etc. The mat- ter has been kept very quiet, as the pro- jectors of the scheme do not desire any publicity of their plans until all arrange- ments are perfocted. Another meeting will be held in the very near future. A ey Handball. The patrons of handball will witness som e interesting games to-morrow. The players are: M. Edwards and W. Stansbury vs. G.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 14.—Baseball has | taken the town by storm. All the various de- | partments of the railroad shops have organ- ized clubs; the business houses have followed suit, and now the Sacrsmento Athletic Club is coming to the front with three or four separate nines who will compete for a season’s pen- nant. The athletic grounds at Oak Park are near- ing completion, and ail competent judges unite in declaring them to be the bei | rauged and most commodious on the coast. | The bicycle track will be under tne coutroi of the Capitol City Wheelmen, who will have control of all meets. They have decided to have Sunday raci.g, and will beip the Califor- nia Associated Cveling Clubs as much as pos- sible. On June6 a grand opening meet Wil be held at the new track, at which all the | crackerjacks on the coast are expected to be present. The Pelican Live-bird Clubwill hold a shoot next Sunday, and good scores are looked for. The water in the mou.itain streams is still too high to render flyfishing successful, although & few are being taken in favored localities. YOU NEED EXERCISE Bicycling is the best.
