SPALDIN | SOTWRl | THE RING. Columbla Athletic Club Will an Entertainment in July. There is talk of matching Steve O'Donnell against the winner of the | jeffries and Ruhling fizht, which contest will be held under the auspices of the Columbia Club on the evening of July 16. Rubling, who recently arrived from the East and who acted as one of Steve O’Donnell’s seconds last Thursday even- ing, is 24 vears old and weighs 190 pounds | in condition. According to his record his best performance was with Peter Maher, whom he stood off for four rounds. He received a decision over Steve O'Donnell in a ten-round contest and is anxious | for a second meeting with the man who conquered Greggains. Jeffries is, how. «ver, very confident of defeating Ruhling, jand there is no aoubt that the Los Angeles champion will have his hands full when he meets & man of his own size ! and weight. The California Club will a'so give an entertainment in July. Its star attraction will be a 1wenty-round contest between Miller and Butler. J. E. Starr, the Australian, is out with a challenge 'to fight any 142-pound pug | |in the State. He says that he will de- | posit the sum of $500 as a side wager, the ! winner to take all. Dai Hawkin« states that if George Dixon will acree to fight him according to the conditions he has already announced, a match can be consummated. ©'Rourke and Dixon are expected bere in the very near future. Give —_—— THE YACHTSMAN, The Zolus and Fawn WIiIl Compete for the Perpetual Challenge Cup To-Day. This siterncon the important question of the ownership of the San Francisco per- petual challenge cup for the ensuing year will be decided. The handsome trophy has been in the possession of the Encinals for the past two years, and to-day the Corinthians will try and secure it. With that purpose they have chosen the Zolus to represent them, while the Encinals have again entered their victorious Fawn todelend their title. Both yachts are in splendid trim, hav- ing undergone a complete overhauling. The race should be an interesting and exciting one as the boats will be ably handled.

[ who are fortunate enough to catch | the 10:30 boat to-morrow morning for El | Campo, will witness the greatest boat races | ever held on the waters of Ban Francisco | Bay. Never before since the race between Henry P-terson and Wiiliam O'Connor at | the Alameda mole some years ago, h: | such interest and preparation been mani- fested by all the oarsmen and their friends, | and if “the weather is favorable, many " coast records will be lowered. As for the South End representatives, | nothing has been spared in placing the | men in cood racing condition. For the | past month all the crews have been out | every evenine, coached by such_able oars- | men as Will Thomas and Dan Dougherty, | and if the crews of tlie other clubs are as confident of winning as the South End boys, the struggle will be a mighty one, The junior crew, composed of Joe Lyons stroke, Alex McGeorge afterwaist, George Fox forwardwaist, and Tom Shortall bow, finished their training last evening and in the words ef Joe Lyons “'they have s cinch on the race."” | The Midgets, according to Captain Mc- Arthur are trained to a whisper, and if no bricks or anchors are tied to their boat he The Yachts Aeolus and Fawn, Rivals for the Perpetual Challenge Cup, to Be Competed For To-Day. hg}»« to do well on the reach and run. he racing length of the Kolus is 28.46, and the Fawn is 26.94.

With these two experienced skippers at the The Pacitic’s fleet of half-raters will be completed next Baturdiy and an im- thinks they are sure winners. Dr. Dennis will ve the only fepresenta- | tive of the club in the skiff races. The doctor is contident that he wili beat Me- Causland and the new wonder A. R. Paul. The Alamedas expect to make & good showing in the senior barge event. In the junior barge race their hopes are not so 1 llli"h as their crew has had very little prac- ice. Of the two skiff men P. G. Ayers will suroly make a hotrace for his competitor. J. C. Stamer, the other representative, is new in the skiff and is not exvected to make much of & showing. § At the Ariels everyvthing is in readiness for to-morrow’s regatta. Reports from training quarters show the men to be in the finest fettle and all anxious for the morrow’s struggle. The great surprise of the week was the remarkable showing of A. R. Paul at the try-out last Sunday. Paul succeeded in beating the time of such champions as| McCausiand and James Wiison by 15 and 23 seconds, respectively. This has given rise to much discussion. Some swear by McCausland and think a different story will be told to-morrow, yet a few, and the number 1s steadily increasing, are firm in | the belief that Paul will \fn the trick. What Puelan and Dennis will do remains | to be seen. The intermediate crew has shown a steady improvement and will enter confi- | dentof winning. The struggle between them and the Olympics will probably be the most exciting event of the day. No change bas been made in the junior crew, as they have proven the mosi will- | ing workers of any of the crews, and Coach Bockmen is justly proud of them. The sonior crew expect to give the | Midgets a very close rub. They have a | bard crew to contend with, but will dis- pute every inch of the course. The junior | skiff men, Carroll and McAuliffe, are in | prime cond:tion and will givea good ac- | count of themselves. The Delpiin Swimming and Boating Club will have but one crew entered, com- d of: T.J. Xennedy, stroke; T. J. opkins, afterwaist; William Meyer, for- | wardwaist; W. O. Patch, bow and cap- tain; George Fitzsimmons, cockswain. The crew have been rowing together but ten days and have showed good style. | They will be hand capped by their boa, it | being built in 1896, while the boats used in other clubs ure much lighter and later build. Alexander Pape, the entry in the junior skiff race, has been rowing but three months, but he is backed to beat Andy | Carroll. The committee is determined to run the | races off on time, and all crews not ready and in their boats when the race is called will be barred from competing. | For the purpose of transporting the | racingboats and oarsmen an extra boat will be run at 8:30 A. M. In order to avoid confusion and delay the South End members will row their boats to the Tiburon ferry this afternoon, ‘where the railroad corpany has provided a shed, in which they will be left over night and then carried to El Campo on the 8:30 boat in the morning. It would be well for the other clubs to do likewise. The race will start promptly at 12 M.
