Then there is Pruit McAuliffe, Davis, O'Donnell, Rubhin and other pugs too numerous to mention, who are entitled toa layoff on | the slow side of Easy street. O’Donnell has been whipped many times in the past two years. Ruhlin, a recent importation from the land of the rising | sun, has never whipped a good third-rate man.

This makes it possible for a large number of racing men to compete, as the points are within reach of this | v, San Jose and Oakland, where most ideas come from, and ' it has been found that, far from beinw ovposed to Sunday racing, ss the old fossils con- nected with the league had predicted, the | people of this State thoroughly enjoy the | coming of the circuit riders, as nas been | evidenced by the immense attendance at the Vallejo and Sacramento meets.

Stoddard are in active training for their match race, which is to be run Sunday, June from Fruit- vale to San Jose, forty-two miles, un- paced. There bas been a little betting on the result, with no odds given on eitner man, The Btate circuit-riders will visit Pleas- | anton on Sunday, June 20. A special car has been arranced for, with a round-trip rate of $150, leaving at 8:30 A. M. and re- turning at 6:45 . M. The track is one mils in circumterence, made of dirt and is in splendid shape. The events will bea quarter-mile dash, a mile open, one and | | & quaiter mile open professional, a mile Open amateur and two-mile local cham- pionship. A lsrge number of the local cy- clers will probably attend this mee:. G. H. Frost and A. B. Post of River- side arrived here Thursday, having made the entire distance awheel. They con- template making a trip 10 the Yosemite Valley before returning. This is their third journey up the coast. Mr. Frost said yesterday that a large majority of the Southern Californ; wheeimen were in favor of the C. A. C. C. Some of the towns down there would never promote Sunday racing, but they were all in favor of home government.

Frank and George Fuller, Tom Meherin and George Stratton are arranging a two weeks' camping trip for next month as the best way of spending their vacations.

The fight, so called, ended ina dismal failure, much to the disgust and | chagrin of the thousands of people who witnessed it. Of course there were some | exceptions—namely, those who bet on Sharkey, the club managers, the pugilists | and pooisellers. The patrons of the game | were ‘bunkoed,” and it would not be | hitting very far ‘off the mark to say that | | the next “biz" contest between Leavy- | weights that takes place in New York | il be sparsely atiended—that is unless | unme{ tzsimmons will take a hand in the of hit and miss. The Cornishman invarisbly puts up a | good figut, and those who pay to see him | | in action can always depend upon getting a ran for their money.” What a hammer- | ing Bob will _ive “the sailor” if they meet | again! But Sharkey’s managers are too | | wise to permit their “’knotty man” to en- ter the ring with Fitzsimmons unless | there is an Earp hole somewhere for the sailor to crawl through when Fitz lets go | nis big Betsy at *‘the Shark's” jaw. Ina fair “stand-up and give-and-take battle Maher can whip Sharkey beyond a doubt. He fought him on Wednesday | evening under the same tactics he em- pioved when he fought Choynski. The tall and symmetricaily built son of | Erin permitted his stocky opponent, who, by the way, is as much entitled to be called “the Irishman” as is Maher, to| dance around the ring and slash short- arm blows at him until he had taken the sailor’s measure; then he settled down to sowing seed. He planted his heavy right on Mr. Sharkey’s jaw, and, like ail good men, the receiver took a tumble. Heland- ed on his back, but,to the surprise of | thousands, wko expected 10 see the sailor cool his sides on the boards, the man of ron jaw and bulldoz tenacity was up in a j'ffy ‘and fighting back like an enraged bull. Possibly the most surprised man in the | buiiding was Maher, as he has frequently | stated that any person whose jaw point | | stops the flight of his good right fist will | | take a nap, Sharkey possibly is an exception. Fitz- simmons said some time after his set-to in | the Pavilion that Sharkey was entitled to | the name of the iron-faced man. Fitz broke knuckle of his right band on the sailor’s jaw, and according to the ciam- | pion the'biow had sufficient force in it io knock auy ordinary being silly. Doubtless Maher would have aisabled his ““dukes” on Sharkey’s face and head if the battle was allowed to continue. In fact toat is the only hope “the sailor’” can have of winning a battle from a first-class ringsier, where wrestling and hugging are debarred | —thatis,of course provided the referee and police are not on his side of the game. Sharkey will never make a fizhter accord- | ing tothe rules that now govern the sport. | He may be achampion at rough and tumble or London prize ring, but his vocation is that of a wrestler, at which game he would unquestionabiy prove a drawing attrac- tion. It was stated recently that one of the local clubs contemplatad offering a large purse for areturn maich between Tom and Peter. It is to be hoped for the inter- est of sport that no such contest will be held in this City. Sharkey’s battles bave all been unsatisfactory, and ths inference 1s that all his future batues will termin- ate in a like manner unless they are fought in accordance with the rules of the Lon- don prize ring. i Sharkey should have en torn one nundred years ago. What | shining mark he would have been on the sod! | pects With the exception of a handfal of men Admiral Schmidt’s Whirlwind, Which Is Fntered for the Wallace Trophy, to Be Sai'ed on the 27th Inst. | exceptions, are a decidedly poor lot to) select a good drawing card from. The | local sports of this City will always tusn | out en masse 10 see a good fistic enter- tainment, but the boxing clubs can kiil pugilism just as guickly and as ea sufficient. The National Athletic Club has an es- blished reputation ss a promoter ot first-class entertainments. Word has just been received from Di- rector Gibbs that the club has matched McKeever and George Lavigne to fighta twenty-round contest in this City on the evening of August 4. The contestants will weigh in at the ringside, according to an agreement, at 138 pounds, give or take two pounds. 2 Now this will bs a battle worth travel- ing some distance to see. Lavigne has been anxious for a slap at the ciever Mc- Keever ever since the last-named pugilist received a decision over him in asi round bout which took place in Philadel- phis. The contests in cided by the papers and public opinion phia papers opined that McKeever had the best of the game while it lasted. Lavigne long-distance traveler, and in a large number of his fistic engage- ments he whipped bis opponents in the latter part of the game. when they meet again. At any rate the patrons of the sport can safely count upon witnessing a rattling contest while it lasts, and n crowded house will greet the con- testants. i THE YACHTSMEN.

The his- tory of the cup is very interestingly writ- ten of by Admiral von Schmidi, who writes: The San Francisco perpetual challenge cup was donated by tnirty-three subscribers to a two - boat aunual contest.

The lines | | show a boat very much after the style of and the sporting editors of the Pniladel- | the latest Eastern racers, and is some- thing quite different from anything in this bay. The dimensions are as follows: Length O. A. is 33 feet 2 inches, length L. | W. L., 24 feet 9 inches; beam, 11 fee! 6 inche: ht, 4 feet 3 inches; sail ares, 860 square feet, and lead keel, 4000 pounds. Although the boat draws 4 feet 3 inches of water, she is verr shallowbodied and the rab- bet line being 2 feet 8 inches from the bottom | of the keel. The bow has not as much over- | hang as most of our spoon bows, but is rounded | up after the fashion now in vogue in the East, | and has a very easy entrance. Tne midship section shows ™ n flat floor, with considerabie | bilge and a slight tumble home. Aft the lines form a iong, easy run and end ina very shapely iransom. The ballast has been piaced well amidships, leaving the ends buoyant, a good guality in'a sea way. The boat will carry 860 square feet of canvas, and | considering her beam: and the depth of the ballast she should emsiiy pack it. The cabin | will be handsomely finished in Spauish ce The cockpit wili ve large and roomy, and take able yach: when completed. Sam Thompson is building a 28-foot cat- boat from the desizns of C. D. Bacon of New York foragent.eman from Honolulu. Genial Bob Morrow has deserted the | ZXEolus and will take command of the Pride on her cruise to Petaluma. S THE OARSMEN. Crews Are Hard at Work Prepar- | Ing for the Great Regatta Next Sunday. On next Sunday the great El Campo re- gatta will be beld, and by the interest the oarsmen have 1aken in it it should prove the most interesting and exciting ever seen on our coast. The success of the regatta depends on the races being started on time. Nothing more annoying than to have a race cheduled to startat2p. M and through unnecessary delays begin an hour later. The re-ult is the speclaiors become tired and disgusted, and vow tuey will never attend another regatta. Therefore it is” hoped that the com- mittees in charge will devote themselyes to having the events 0 off on time, The Ariels will be represented in the senior skiff race by William McCausland . W. Phelan and James Wilson, all of whom are in excellent trim. 1f the skiff especially built for Phelan Erov;- the ;olnu'kr'lc:pcued an exciting nish may looked for be: McCausland. ot In the junior skiff race Andy Carroll, J. next race, as more entries have been re- ceived than expected.

Treadwell, a prominent | member of the Dolphins, has offered the | club a medal vaiued at $35 to be com peted for as soon as the diamond medal be- comes the personal property of a mem ber. Judge Thomas A. Keogh has invited the members of the club to a clambake to ve held at Sausalito next funday. Members will leave the boathouse at 9 o’clock in the barges Arion and Wieland. Captain W. 0. Patch will b2 in command. e THE ANGLER. Good Catches of Striped Bass Made in the Alameda Slough. The strong wind which swept over Lake 8an Andreas during the past few days aeterred many anglers from venturing on the deep in boais that are not considered very safe. Dick Brooks and s friend caught a fairly good mess of fish last Thursday, but other anglers fared poorly. Doubtless if the weather is not too boisterous to-mor- row some large creels of trout will be taken. Al Smith missed his partner, Louis Rondeau, lact Sunday, but tne iast-named gentleman was beiter engaged on Paper- mill Creek, from which place he returned with about two dozen trout, some of whica scaled one pound and over. Mr. Rondean used a spoon of his owa manufacture and it worked like a charm. Anglers who are arranging for their va- cation should not forget taking a trip to the streams within easy reach of Ukiah. Excellent sport is assured to any man who understands how 10 present a cast of flies to the trout of the Mendocino County fish- ing waters. The big Pluton and big Sulphur creeks are now in fine condition and the trout are large and gamy. These creeks can be reached by stage from Cloverdale. From Healdsburg anglers can count upon a short and pleasant drive to streams that are now teeming with speckied beauties. Reports have been received at this office from Wrights station, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, to the effect that the stream which is commonly known as Los Gatos Creek has been dynamited to such an ex- tent that there are no fish to be caught in the deep pools, The Game Warden of Santa Cruz County has now a good chance to distinguish himsell by causing the arrestof the men who are destroying the fishing of one of the preitiest streams of the State. The announcement in last Saturday’s CaLL that striped bass were being caug:t in the Bay Farm Island siough by anglers attracted quite a crowd of spori-lovers to the bridge which spans the slough last Sunday. = George Smith, a lithographer of this City, caught one bass that' weighed 83 rounds; George Burns caueht two NEW TO-DAY.
