THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1897. Hw;‘”“, 1 The boating clubs are looking pleasantly forward to the El Campo regatta, which will be held this month at EI Campo. Several practice spins will take place over the Long Bridge course to-morrow. New boxing clubs are being formed, and unless something is done to stop the in- crease of clubs the City will be overrun with pugs. The next event of note will be the Sharkey and Maher fight, which will be held in New York next Wednesday evening. he wheelmen are going to Sacramento to witness the races that will be held there to-morrow. Angling, shooting, coursing, handball and baseball are enjoying quite & boom. e THE WHEELMEN. Assoclated Clubs’ Meeting and Race Meet at Sacramento To-Morrow. Lucten Lesna, the champion French cy- clist, and his man r, Raym whose arrival from Australia was told in Tre CALL yesterday, spent their time sesterday sight-seeing. In the afternoon M. Veriihacof the Bay City Wheelmen took Lena out for a ride in the park awheel. He told an amusing story after- ward about how, when they were riding along the cycle path, chatting in French, three local men caught up with them and one of them s et’s sew up these hac understood what Frenchmen.” they said, but Lesna, who cannot sp or underst ) b, did not. Verilh repeated nd_with a_ smile Lesna * on” d the after they had each tried trio, and Tom Cooper. “shake him’’ he sailed by them laughing. They were telling some one at the cyclers’ ' Test of the “‘wonder” run up againston the wey out, who could not s ng- lish but'=ould rice like the wind. When informed that he was Lesna, the champion read-rider of the world, they had no niore to say, but eyea bim from a distance with open-monthed admiration. Lesna won what is considered the most remarkable race run anywhere in the worid, the annuai road race from Paris to Bordeaux, 38 miles, about half of which > and down_hill. Speaking of this event yesterday M. Pognon said: “Have you heard who wor ual Bordeaux- We are very Paris race on anxious to know.” "I told him the news til next week. Con- v would not be here v tinuing he said: “This veur the race was paced on all the level stretches by motor cycles, which shows you how France is advancing in th- cycling line. There are generally about a dozen entrants for the race from among the best riders on the Conunent, and the pacinz arrangements each man makes are well nigh perfec Revierre has won it, Lesna has won it and they judge a man’s ability over there by the query: ‘Is he good enough to ride in the Bordeaux-Paris? Lesna’s time for the 380 miles, half of it up and down hill, mind you, was 20 Lours 36 minute Think of that!” It must have been a wonderful periormance. M. Pognon thinks the Terrill brothers of this City, who went to Fiance recently 10 race, will'do well. “If they are not fast enough to compete with the best rioers they can ride agaiast the second or third best. Riders are graded over there ac- cording to their abilities, and a third- rider in France will make mors money than a champion in America. Why? B cause there ere mor- meeis, the attend- ance is better and consequently the track managements can afford hberal prizes. “We will say next want 1o race in France. ride? Well, let’s sce. Marseilles, one at Borde sels, three or four in Pari berless road races. They can find out who is going to ride at each place, and then allot themselves where thay think they will have a chance of winning, and not go up against Mori ourrillion, Revierre, Champion, Garin or those peo- ple, who, if they are not speedier, at any rate have the pacing teams and’ knowl- edge of the iracks down =0 fine as to be almost unbeatable.” Here is a meet at uX, one at Brus- besides num- The visitors will stay here until Monday | morning, when they will leave for the East, siopping off at Sult Lake City, Den- verand Chicago. “You have the most de- Jighiful c.imate of any place I have been,” Lesna said to me through his interpreter, “but sacre! what terrible pavements,’ and he put his hands 10 hisearsas if to shut out the din. Iexplained that most parts of our residence districis were paved with aspbaltum. ~'But why" there? he queried. ““Is there not more drivingand rid- ing here downtown than there isout where you live?” He could not understand it, and Iwas ata loss for an explanation myself.

There is a good entry list, valuable vrizes, and the meet should be & success. Associated Cycling Clubs will hold their | regular monthly meeting in Sacramento to-night and will attend the races to-mor- row. Charles Albert Adams has made up a large party, comsisting of memibers of the board, officials and racing men, 1o go up this afternoon at 4 o’clock in a special car, retrrning to-morrow night. It will be a jolly outing, as they will have the entire car to themselves, and are to be en- tertained by the Capitai Citys at a smoker to-night and in various ways to- morrow. The membership committee of the C. A. C. C. will visit the Olympic Ciub Wheelmen next Tuesday evening, and hope to secure a large number of them as members. Captain Flinn has called a run of the Imperial Cycling Club for to-morrow to Schaefer’s Grove, near Ross station, Marin County. _ Judge F. H. Dunne and Percy V. Long will take an extended vacation trip through the northern part of the State, starting Mouday. The Yosemite Cyclers will hold anen- | tertainment and dance this_ evening at Armory Hall, on Golden Gate avenue. Like previous affairs of the kicd held by the ciub, it will doubtiess prove very en: joyable. 5 | © The membership committee of the Cali- | fornia Associated Cychnz Clubs will visit | the Imperial Cycling Ciub next Monday evening and give the members a short | taik on the advantages of C. A. C. C.| membership. The occasion is the Im- | perials’ regular meeting, and the enter- | winment committee has prepared a | | lantern-slide exhibition for their enjoy- ment. The announcement made by Zimmer- | man’s father recently that “Zimmy" | would again enter the game, uccompanied | by the statement by Zimmerman bimself | that he had been training and would prob- ably ride on the New York State circuit, | setiles a long-mooted question. It has also been said that he wou!d double up with Harry Wheeler and they would ride en tandem. George Banker, another old- mer, will also enter the lists again this year. " To-morrow morning at 9 o'clock the | Olympic Cyclers will leave their club- house on Post streer, uader the leadership | of Captain Charles F. sorel, and journey | | to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, in San Mateo | County, about half a mile below San | Bruno.” Arriving there, they will have | games, music and a general entertain- | ment, followed by an excellent lunch. | Toese picnic runs of the Cyclers are held about every three months, and are at- 1 tended by over 100 of the members, the occasions being looked forward to regu- | iarly with pleasurable anticipation. To- morrow’s aifair promises to excel all pre- vious ones. The American Wheelman Annual is to | band. It is & valuable compendium of records, racers, information for tourists, | suggestions for quick repairing and the | like, is elegantly 1liustrated and is really | a valuable work.

With the exception of the Olympic | Club’s professional boxing entertain- ment which will be held this month there is nothing on the cards to excite the at- | tention of the patrons of pugilism. But there are many rumors afloat and where there is so much smoke there must be | some fire. Doubtless within the next two | weeks matches will be msde by local clubs | that will cause no end of talk and specu- | 1ation. | The California Club has taken TmE| CaLL's tip and is now negotiating for a | twenty-round bout between Charles Mc- | Keever and Tom Tracey. If this match | 1s made the patrons of good fistic sport | can safely count upon witnessing & mill that will prove asinteresting as the Green | and McKeever fight. | It will be remembered that Tracey gave | Green the nardest kind of a ten-round argument in Woodward’s Pavilion some | three months ago and when the bout | | ended Tracey was the stronger man of the two. A twenty-round contest between Tom and George would compel the wise ones who gamble on prize-fights to put on their thinking_caps. Tracey is a harder nuncher than McKeever. Tom O’Rourke, the noted sporting man of New York, would like very much to | sign articles ot agreement in beaalf of his colored colt, Wolcott, whom O'Rourke is anxious to malct againsi Green at eny | weight. In fact O’Rourke has intimated that he will not draw the *‘weight line” if | Green consents to fizht Wolcott in this | City. But George does not faney clinch- | ing with colored fo.k, and hence he has { drawn the color line. | "Dal Hawkins will be offered an oppor- tunity of testing his skill as a clever pugilist against George Dixon, who is also nder the wing of Manager O'Rourke, Slick” Abrabam telegraphed O'Roarke | & few days ago that he had been author- | ized by a local ciub to offer the men a $5000 purse, and O'Rourke has notified a | | porticular friend in this City to look up | { Abrabam and glean some authentic in- | formation from him on the matter. Doubtless, the $5000 offer for Hawkins | and Dixon 1s only a myth, which will end | in smoke. Hawkins hus frequentiy stated that be was wiiling to fight any man in his class for a $3000 purse, but nothing less. AsDixon is not the drawing card that be was a few years ago, it is safe to say that he will not turn his back upon | $3000 vurses, which are not easily caught nowad.ys. O'Rourke writes that 1f there should be | an opening for a twenty-round mill be- tween Dixon and Hawkins the latter must depos:t $500 as a guarantee that he will weigh in at the ring side at 128 pounds. With the large number of boxing clubs | that are now in_existence it was thought | that the end of the rope had been reached, | but this is not so, as_“there are others,"” Last Thursday evening a gaihering of | sports was held in the office of Thomas P. Rovinson at 19 O'Farrell street, and after the usual talk that invariably precedes the introauction of anytbing substantial, Charles J. Collins moved that a new box- ing-club be launched *‘into life,” with all | the sinews of war attached. Well, a new club was born there and then and it will be known as the *Uni- versal Atbletic Club or California,” which is supposed 1o carry everything in sight.

He contends that the sailor will avoid Maher's jaw punches, and that he will wear the Irisnman out by clinch- ing and wrestlin tmgs o n THE ANGLER. Trout Fishing In the Streams Near Uklah—Catches at Lake San Andreas. The San Andreas Lake was well whipped last Sunday, and, with few ex- ceptions, the anglers returned with well- filled baskets of tront. A large number of permits have been issued for to-morrow, and as a matter of fact the demand for boats will be keen. Itis said that the boats at the lake need agood overhauling, as they are notin a safe condition to carry more than one angler. It has been suggested that the fishermen who enjoy several outings at | the lake ‘‘raise’’ a subscription tor the re- pair of the boats. It will be remembered that some years ago the Fish Comiissioners stocked this bay with stripea bass try. The stocking proved very successful, and now the ma kets are overstocked with those game and edible fishes. In some of the Eastern States anglers enjoy days of the grandest sport imagin- able catching the striped denizens of the deep with rod and line, but although sev- eral attempts have been made by our local experts to tempt the bass to accept of a spoon or some other lure, experiments | have invariably ended in failure *t0 catch on.” It will be pleasant news to the fraternity to learn that there is still hope for anglers | and that striped bass can be caughtin this bay by means of trolling. During the past week several fair-sized bass were caught by two Alameda angiers in the big lazoon near Bay Farm Island, which is spanned by the narrow-gauge railroad bridge. One of the fish taken weighed fourteen and a quarter poands and it gave the anglers a battle roval. The fishermen troiled with band lines from a boat and used a large | spoon at the end of about fifty yards of line. The fishing grounds can be reached by taking the narrow-gauge train for Als- tion. Twenty minutes' walk from the station will land anglers at the bridge which spans the slough, where boats can be procured from the bridzekeeper. A. R. Harrison of Glen Ellen mailed the following report of catches that have been recently made on Sonoma Creek (o the general passenger agent of the San Fran- | cisco and North Pacific Rallroad: Dr.J. J. Richards’ and Messrs. Otto Schry- ana’s and J. Nordman’s catch for Decoration day amounted to 120, fishing irom the hotel 10 Dobey Canyon. S. 8 Hooper and J. J. Cowan made the catch of 133, fishing over the same ground last week in three days. Numerous small catches, running from 25 10 75, have been made during the last week around Glen Eilen. The following catches have bsen made in the streams within easy reach of Ukiah: P. B. Beckart, 159 Montgomery street, 460 trout: Mrs. Beckart, 50 trout; Harry L. Mil- ler, Wells-Fargo Bank, 550 trout; Mrs. H. L. Miller, 51 trout; Master Jack Miller, 30 | trout. Several big caiches were made on Lennon Creek, Soda Creek, Hanly Creek, Dougherty Creek and Big River. Beckart's largest weighed 8 pounds, Miller's largest weighed 6 pounds. Several were caught weighing from 1 to 4 pouuds. According to the latest reports from Gualala River, Billy Burke, the ex-cham- pion trout fisherman of THE CaLr, has caughton. Billy is said to be an expert ancler, and hiy fishes invariably run large because they are magnified when sesn through Billy's glasse: Jobn Gallagher, the champion trout- catcher of Oakland, is rusticating at Baird, and he writes tnat the irout-fishing on | McCloud River 1s now truly excellent. Ha suggests that the angiers of the Fiy- casting Ulub who are desirous of testing tieir rods in long-distance casting should pers visit to the McCloud while the ang- ing is at its best.

Although to-morrow will be an off day at the Shell Mound rifle rangs, so far as programme events are concerned, still there will be sufficient shooting to keep the markers at several of the targets busy It day. The Deutscheu Krieger Veremn will hold its regular contest for class medals, and a large attendance is ex- pected, for in one or two of the classes the matches are rather closely contested. The members of the Independent R fles will also hold their shoot for class medals.

The Corintbian regatta on Memorial day is still the topic of conversation | among the yachtsmen. The close finish | between the Clara and the Speedwell and | the small number of boats to start are the features chiefly under consideration. | Agreat many cannot understand why | yachtsmen with the interest of their club at heart should enter a regatta and instead of Lelping their club to make a showing | o off on 'a cruise.

The El Campo Regatta Last Sunday Has Added Naw Life to the Sport. The rezatta given by the South End Rowing Olub last Sunday morning was a grand success. The races were close and interesting and although the water was rough the time was the fastest made on | the bay in many years. The midzets rowed in their old style form and showed the spectators that Jaltbough once defeated they are far from being has-beens. In the junior race Herbert Hawkins' crew surprised the club members by beat- ing Joe Lyons’ crew by over four lengths. Tue winning crew was very light, com- pared with their husky opponents, their average weight being only 130 pounds. The surprise of the day occurred when Dr. Dennis defeated Frank Duplissea in the senior sk:ff race. Since the doctor joined the South Ends a wonderful im- provement has been noticed in his style of rowing, and Knowing ones predict that be will defeat * McCausland in the Ei Campo regatt. Theintermediate crew are confident that they can defeat the O'ympics. They have been training now ior two weeks, and ac- cording to reports ure in fine condition. Their opponents have also been doing £00a Work in their new barge at Tiburon, and if reports are irue their new man, Cameron, is a wonder. The old junior crew finding it impossi- ble to train will not compete in the El Campo regatta. In their place Captam Thomas has selected the following crew to represent the ciub: Joe Lyous, stroke; Alex McGeorge, afferwaist; Georga Fox, forwardwaist, and Tom Shortail, bow. 13 some talk in rifle circles of a re- | id fire time limit_rifle match be- tween D.

Several members of the Interstate Cours- ing Club are up in arms on account of very underhanded proceedings which oc- curred last Tuesday eveninz at a club meeting. The name of Harry Brennan, who is a brother of Mrs. P. Dalton ot Ingleside Purk, was proposed for membership, and to the surprise of the talent it was found, when the ballots were counted, that Mr. Brennan was blackballed by three mem- Lers, who were unquestionably influenced by some person who has an ax to grind with Brennan, The leading members of the club wers very much disgusied, and it is now ru- mored that an attempt will be made 1o discover, if possible, the members who cast their votes 1o reject the spplication iof Mr. Brennan for membership, Truly i the pot is boiling iu coursing circles. and Tom Hopkins out twice a week at| v for a French | feLaughiin will | B.
