HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1897, J 227 v & 77 | 7 m‘ | 7 l/ 1 S et | Sportsmen who have a predilection for shooting big game will be out bright and | early to-morrow morning in the hope of bagging & deer or two. The members of | the Country Club who hunted on the Olema hills last Thursday killed six deer. In wheeling the only event of import- | ance is the races which will be held to- | morrow at San Rafael. | Some very fast dogs will meet in the | slips at Ingleside coursing-grounds to- | morrow. All the Iatest news concerning angling, baseball, rowing, handball and kennel will be found in the following | columns. | e THE WHEELMEN. | Two Amateur Events on the Road at San Rafael To-Morrow. | The principai cycling event on the cards for to-morrow is the short-distance road- racing at San Rafael. There are no track events or races at San Leandro, and the | Stoddard-Melrose match, scheduled for! the day, is postponed one week. The races at San Rafael are for amateurs only, and a fairly good prize-list is offered. In the morning at 11 o’clock there will be | a mile handicap, and in the afternoon at 2:30 one at half a mile. The course will be on the streets of San Rafael, the finish | being opposite the courthouse. P. M. | Hotchkiss and R. C. Kirk have the affair | in charge, and entries can be sent to them | to-day, or to R. A. Smyth, official handi- capjer of the Associated Clubs (which | has sanctioned the meet), at 645 Mission street. Entries close to-night. The Chico Cycling Club has been organ- ized with the following officers: Presi- | dent, Sol Peiser; vice-president, Frank Ash; secretary and treasurer, H. 8. Moir; captain, Phil Pennick. Besides these, the | following have signed the charter roll: | J. W. Jewell, Theodore Schwein, J. F. Young, W. B. Dean, P. Daniels, F. | Williams, Price Pennick and C. McFeely. President Peiser is well known here, hay- ing been very prominent in local cycling | circles in connection with the Outing and | San Fraucisco clubs. He is an active | worker, and under his able management | the new club at Chico should coast into | prominence. The presence of the circuit | riders at Chico next month should also | tend to enliven matters considerably. | R. M. Welch’s speech upon the subject | of the new movement in cycling :ircles[ | | here, delivered before the California cling Ciub on Monday evening, June has been printed, and copies of the sam can be had upon application to THE CALL | cycling department. It was an excellent | addr: etting forth clearly the reasons | why California wheelmen shou!d cease to | support the League of American Wheel- | men and should enlist in the home or- | ganization, the.Associaied Cycling Clubs, and will be found very interesting readine. The Alameda Cyclers wiil bold their an- nual straw ride to Boehmer’s ranch this evening. Robert Hopps and Yark Molier | have the affair in charge, and unaer their | careful management it should be equally | as enjoyable as the one last vear, when the belles and beaux of Alameda’s society attended. The temporary clubroom of the Ala- meda club, until their new quarters are | mittee in charge of the affair consists of | association’s work. | The match wiil be ridden | ing the name of being the cleverest player of | hamb:a; | of the Bay City Wheelmen, is missing. | fi \&? ““\kllll“ p A AN \ T ) completea, is directly over the City Morgue, and many and gruesome are the tales the members tell of their experiences avnight. There is never a ‘‘last man’ at the club now. Somehow they nearly all leave about the same time when going- home time comes around.

The com- Carl Steinhart, chairman; Vincent Hop- kins, secretary; Fred Sievers, Will Davis and Walter Hansel, 2 Thisannual run at Stockton is a big affair with the wheelmen there, and it has been suggested that the Associated Clubs nold its regular monthly meeting for Aucust there the night before. A large number of wheelmen from this City will go up anyway on the Saturday night boat to attend the run the nextday, and it would afford an excell-nt opportunity for the association officers to mingle with the Stockton wheelmen with a view of securing their hearty co-operation in the The Terminal City Wheeimen have but just joined the C. A. C. C., and few of the members have jomed individually, so that there is quitea field for the membership committee’s endeav- ors there. There has been another change in the Olympic staff. C. N. Raviin retires and | C. R. Coulter, the celebrated professional rider, will take the editorial chair. Mr. Ravlin and J. Gensler will shortly start a new cycling paper here, to be called Wheel Chat. In size and styte it will be something like Bearings of Chicago, and it should prove very acceptable. Another three-cornered match has been arranged between Bald, Kiser and Cooper, to take place at the Michigan division meet on July 23. The accounts of the re- sult will be awaited with interest here. Jimmy Michael, the Welsh champion, and Lucien Lesnz of France, who passed through here on his way from Ausiralia recently, have been matched to ride fora | big purse, the date to be in about a month, as soon as Lesna can get into | 8e.e shape. The distance will be thirty-three mies, in order that the riders may, if they can, break the world’s hour record. | in Boston. Michae! is being handled by Snafer, the mismanager of the inaoor meet here last spring, and his cunning should bring vic- tory to his man, as Lesna is neither | familiar with the game here nor the lan- guage of the country. The following from Bearings regarding | McFarland, the California professional now racing against the Eastern cracks, is interesting: McFarland, the lanky Californian, is gain- handicap races in the country, He stands the hard work of circuit-chasing iike 8 warhorse, i wins out in handicrps along the New State cir age rider.

The man has done thisso many times now that the riders in the handicap races tear him. In the open race at Syracuse McFarland had the contest won and would have beaten Bald had it not been for an uniucky step when he let Baid up on him in the good going. “Mike,"” the celebrated bulldog mascot The members are not expressing much worriment ovar this fact, however, as “Mike’ generally celebrates every big victory of his club by not showing up around his usual haunts for about a week after, and he has not been seen since the | club won the big twenty-mile road race la<t Sunday.

Fish Commissioner Emeric shipped a large box of cutthroat trout to H. Golcher a few days #go from Webber Lake, which were caught by means of spooning. The fisn at Webber are not taking the fly, and Mr. Finch, who was fishing there for a week, left in disgust for the Yuba River, where grand fly-fishing is reported. The young Mykiss that were planted in a lake 1n the Country Club preserve about one and a half years ago have done spl-n- didly. They now average three-quarters of a pound in weight, and with the excep- tion of a red line under their giils they very much resemble the Rainbow ih out- ward appearance. Of course their flesh is pink, and as an edible fish they are as good as the famous cutthroat of Inde- vendence Lake. Schoo.s of sea bass have made an ap- pearance in the lagoon near Point Reyes and anglers will try to tempt them in some way t0-morrow. Al Wilson, who returned from Tomales Bay recently, says that the sea bass will not take spoon nor any kind of bait known to the angling fraternity. Black bass fishing in the Russian River is said to be first class. Billy Jonesand a friend bad royal sport last Monday and some of the bass they caught weighed four pounds. Lloyd Eaton, Zimmer and Butler have at last come to the conciusion that they have much to learn about bass fishing. Sam Hughes has hit upon a great scheme for the capture of bass. Sam leit this City a few evenings ago for one of the Spring Valley Water Company’s lakes, | but as he forgot to get bait for bass. he thought he would try leeches, as they somewhat resemhle a fat salt-water worta., Sam took along a dozen orso of the bloodsuckers, and next day he tried them, but with very poor success. During the day Sam was almost tempted to jumpinto the lake after the fishes, which were swimming within full view of him, as he sat on the bunk overlooking a large, deep pool. All manner of devices flitted through his mind, but at last he struck | the nail on the head. Siicking two healthy and warlike-looking Iceches on | bis hook, Sam watched and waited natil ne saw a four-found bass swimming leisurely by. Down went the leeches gradually until they touchea the horned back of Mr. Bass, and instantly they fast- ened on. Hughes yanked, and ¢ut spun the line. The angler had a grand fight, but landed his fish all right. Suffice it 10 say that with two leeches Hughes caught two dozen bass, and now he has applied for a patent on his “thoroughbred’” Enss- catcher. Billy Kennedy lost a large trout last Sunday while fishing the Paper mill Creek, but it was not so much_the loss oi the tront that bothered Mr. Kennedy as the easy manner in which it escaped. He will have another try for the land-locked — to-morrow. | and / i { IDSIIVTIATRANIN [ /! oo fish to-day and his friend Clarke will smile if Kennedy does catch on. Charley Cate and Chariey Precht caught some nice fish last Sunday at Point Reyes. It is said that the morning and evening fishing near Glen Ellen is first class, Tom Flynn has been fishing on the Mc- Cloud for the past ten days. He shipped a fine lot. of trout to the City on Friday. One of them weighed four pounds and an ounce. The others ranged from one pound and upward. He has caught several salmon with the spoon. He says they *‘rise’” to the spoon iu great shape. The fellowing officers have bee eiected for the ensuing term by the Golden Gate Gun Club: President, George M. Cook; vice-president, Edward S. Michelsson; sec- retary, J. C. Meusdorffer; treasurer, L. Ph. Bolander; captaiu, T. L. Lewis; di- rectors—C. M. Wollam, H. W. Phillips, . Josewski. i g ke DEER AND DOVE. Sportsmen Who Will Scatter Lead on the Hillls To-Day. The sportsmen of the Country Club who took advantage of the inaugural day of the deer-shooting season enjoyed excel- lent sport. Six deer fell to the rifles of low furnished the sportsmen with a run that will be talked of for months to come. The dogs jumped the “monarch” in the early morning, and Mr. Four-prongs cut out a bee-line for old ocean. Several shots were fired at him by the huntsmen, but he escaped the leaden missiles and baffled the fast dogs a few times, but one old honnd that was slow and sure remained with the trail and after a loug run finally brought the game animal to bay on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. The deer showed fight, and, aiter giving some of his tormentors something 10 remember him by, ne turned on seeing the sports- men coming on horseback and leapea over the cliff, lanaing on the jagged rocks below. The Tamalpais Club sportsmen did not AT THE NEW TARGEDS, Two Infantry Companies at the Presidio Trying Their Skill as Marksmen. At Five Hundred Yards They Aver- | aged 60 Per Uent—A Singular Accident and a Fire, ‘Well up in the western end of the Pre- sidio reservation, beyond the United | States Marine Hospital, is located the new shooting range used by the troops at the Presidio for target practice under the new small arms firing regulations which have recently been adopted by the War | Department. ! THE NEW RIFLE RANGE AT T The new range is wide enough to allow nine targets to be used at once. It runs west and east and the targets are at the base of a sandhill that serves as a bulk- head 1o receive the bullets. A first-class pit for the markers has been erected and every precaution taken to guard against accidents, The range is well protectea irom the north and south winds, being in a hollow a little north of Lobos Creek, but there 1s at times a strong breeze that comes In frcm the ocezn through a small gully at the northwestern end, but it is not as objectionable as the wind that affected the old range. Before the introduction of the Krag Jorgensen rifles the sharpshooters were enavled to contend with the wind with | considerable accuracy by the adjustment of the windgauge on the Springfield rifles, but with the weapons now in use the men who use them are forced to use their judg- ment in the matter of windage, as these weapons are not provided with wind- ganges. Tothe right or north of the range and a little beyond the line of the targets there is a camp of about forty tents, for the use of the officers and men who are engaged at the targets. Two companies were sent to the camp for a week’s practice, and the companies that are n camp this week are Company F., First Infan- try, Captain Charles G. Starr command- ing, and Company G, same regiment, First Lieutenant Kichard C. Croxton in command. The men go to the targets at a little be- fore 6 in the morning, and bang away at the silhouettes until noon, when they cease firing and respond to mess call, and then return at 1 o'clock and continue practice until the bugler sounds the mess call again. The men are required under [ the new regulations to fire from various distances, fire by squads and by company, to engage in skirmish firing, to fire while standing and while kneellng and whils prone; they also have to fire while ad- vancing in double time and while retreat- ing. On Tuesday the men of each company were engaged in the forenoon in firing in the prone position at the targets at a dis- tance of 500 yards, end what they aimed at was the image of a soldier on each tar- get. The object fired at was what a man would look at that distance, and the pur- pose of the shoot was to ascertain how near the mark the men would come to hitting men at that distance. Generally speaking the shooting was fairly good, the aggregate showing that the percent- age was about 60. During the week the men will be en- ‘gngad in shooting according to instruc- tions, and it is. probable that the shooting by squads and by volley will be on this afternoon. After these companies have conciuded the week’s work they will be returned to quarters and their places will be taken by two other companies, and so on until all the companies at the post have made a record. It is probable that this range will be used by the members of the National Guard for the next shoot. The men at the camp have a week of camp life in the fullest sense of that term and their rations are prepared for them in B PRESIDIO RESERVATION, the Buzzecot ovens, the like of which this vear will, for the first time, be furnishea to the National Guard of the State when in camp. On Tuesday morning one of the tents in the camp caught fire and before the flames could be subdued all that there was in it, consisting of blankets, bedding and cloth- ing, was more or less damaged by the flames. That accidents will happen despite all precautions received a forcible illustra- tion at the range on Tuesday. Corporal Jacoby of Company G, while acting as marker, suddenly fell and his comrades who went to his assistance discovered that he had been wounded in the head. A closer examination showed that he had been struck by a bullet that had passed through his bhat and grazed his sealp, in- flicting a painful but not dangerous wound. Anexamination showed that the bullet in its course struck a hard knot, which caused it to deflect and strike the corporal, who was standing in the pit. It was ‘a most ex:raordinary course for a bullet to take and one that might not oc- cur again in the firing of 10,000 shots. some of the members, and one iarge fel- | poor markmanship. One deer was killed by Billy Brown, and Johnny S:ebe says it was scared so badly that it lost its horns during the chase. Mr. La Coste pro- nounced it a mule ueer, and as Mr. La Coste is an acknowledged authority on big game, his opinion was not even doubied or questioned. Several deer-hunters will be tramping the biils this morning, looking for veni- son, and it isexpected that the usual re- ports of a boy or man, taken for a deer, of courte, stopping the flight of a leaden missile will be heard this evening from some county. Sportsmen who prefer to shoot doves will also enjoy the first Sunday’s shoot of the season, and as birds ar- said to be very plentiful in some localities, good shooting and big bags are expected. i Mosquitoes are said to be very plentiful in the Marin County hills between Igna- cio and Novato this year. Consequently, mosquito nets and ointments will pe in demand by those who propose to hunt this section of country. The California Wing Club will shoot at live birds to-day at the Ingleside trap- shooting grounds, the Encinal Club wiil shoot at Birds Point and the Lincoln Club will hold a 100-bird coast record medal shoot at Alameda Point. On the 25th inst. the Olympic Club will hold forth at the Ingleside grounds, and on August 1agrand handicap merchandise tourna- ment will be decided at the Empire grounds. Bob Taylor, P. Molloy and Al Newman returncd " irom Hamlet station recently with 275 cotiontail rabbits which they killed in the sandhills. e S THE OARSMAN. Pape Is Willing to Row Agalnst Bul- ger, Ochs and Ayres for a Trophy. The only entries at present for the out- rigger skiff race are Alex Pape and W. O. Patch. The race will be held a week from to-morrow, off the boathouse. The Dolphins are to arranga a race for their oarsmen that have never competed in a race. It will be rowed during Octo- ber, as the water is very smooth then, and the contestants will have nothing to fear from the winds and rough water at that season of the year. Harper Wilkinson, Al Shields, William Meyer and William Laib have signified their intention of entering in the maiden race. To-morrow week A. H. Pape, Joseph Earls, Jack Coughlan and Harper Wilkin- son are to have a quarter-mile canoe race. Alex Pape is willing to make the match with Bulger of the Ariels, Ochs of the Pioncers and Avres of the Aia- medas, to be rowed under the auspices of the Ariel Rowing Club. The installation of officers was held last Wednesday night and the following offi- cials were instailed: President, W. O. Partch; vice-president, Joseph Earls Jr.; recording secratary, Joseph Ear!s; finan- cial secretary, Frank C. Staib; treasurer, Adam Schuppert; sergeant-at-arms, Peter von Hadeln; captain, Thomas J. Ken- nedy; lieutenant-captain, Alex Pape; executive committee—T. J. Sullivan, R. Blennerhassett. The new cantain, Thomas Kennedy, will make an «flicient officer, as he is an excellent oarsman and poweriul swim- mer. He is to enter two crews in the championship regatta in September. Thomas Kennedy, - Jack Coughlan, Charles Farrell, Alex Pape, William Laib and W. O. Patch are to make an attempt to swim the Golden Gate during the latter part of Angust. On last Sunday morning the junior crew of the South Ends visited the Dolphins and encountered rough water all the way o_;er, but returned with the incoming tide. Al Fritz, Bob McArthur, George Fox and T. L Fitzpatrick are all training in skiffs for the September re -atta. Ed Scullv and A. J. Millitz have been rowing skiffs for the past month and are now in a fair condition to race. The punching-bag and platform are now completed and will be turned over for use by Captain Thomas to-morrow morning. e BASEBALL. The Popular National Game Will Be Played on Many D.amonds To-Morrow.

Rober(son of the latter club, who sails on the nextsteamer for Aus- tralia. Billy’s departure involves an ir- reparable loss to American amateur cricket. He has been prominently identi- fied with the game ever since its revival in California seven years ago. and is ad- nittealy the best all-round player on the Pacific Coast. He holds the highest score record this side of the Rockies, and his bowling won the admiration of even.such master batsmen as wereon the Australian team whch visited us last fall. His form would undoubtediy entitle him to a place on most first-class teams the worla over. Owing to the loss of a finger in a car ac- cident some months azo his batting is less powerful than of yore, but he :till retains msupom‘:m;maleu:kiu as a trundler and a ing defense that wearies th - tient field. el 1 hope that cricket lovers will turn out en masse to-morrow to swell the gate re- ceipts in aporeciation of the good ‘“the only Billy” has done for the noble game.

There was no quorum present for the calied meeting of the San Francisco Yacht Club last evening, but the members pres- ent held an informal discussion on the proposed consolidation with the Pacific Yacht Club. There is some dissatisfaction among the membership of both the clubs as to the terms of consol idation, but all seem of tha opinion that there is no need of the two clubs and that it would be of the grestest advantage to all concerned if they could arrive at some satisfactory agreement. One club would be obliged to give up its name, and the other its flag, sbould ‘the consolidation take place. Neither .club likes to do this. The greatest dispute, however, is as to whether the new club, if formed, is to assume the debt of ' the Pacific Club. There is a §15,000 mortgage standing against it, and the San Francisco club is opposed to having this oblization saddled on to them, as their property is entirely clear. The Pacifics claim that their property is good for $10,000 more than the incumbrance. Ex-Commodore Isadore Gutte of the San Francisco Club has plans and specificas tions of a new house the club is to build, and he says the contract will be ler next week, and the house wiil be completed within six weeks. . It will be erected on their wharf, which is already built. The house will cost in the neighborhood of §$4000, and will be 64x65 feet in dimensions. On the first floor will be the boathouses, dressings rooms, shower baths, boatkeeper’s room and a kitthen.
