The Imperial Cycling Club has no rezular- run scheduled for -to-morrow. Prior to placing an initistion fee on new meémbers the directors are desirous of in- creasing the present membership to a number not exceeding 200, and to this end a premium is offered to ail club members proposing new applicants. The news ihat the wheelmen of Port- land Lad left the league and organized a Northwest division of the Califorria As- sociated Cyeling Clubs as told in THE Caty during the past week, was very ilying to_the leaders of the movehent here, and has been much discussed around :he clubs. Itis thought that the associa- tion will secure .complete control in Oregzon in evea a shorter space of time than it did in California. The officers of the new division are: F. O. Burckhardt, chief consnl; Harvey Moreland, vice-con- sul; L. H. Burton, secretary-treasurer; J. U. Mueble, baudicapper. They are now actively -engaged in arranging for a twojdays’ race meet on Angust 14 and 5, the programme and prize list of which ven'in THE CALL yesierday. E. F.

Speaking of “the greatest of cycling spills,”” Bearings says : Tie fleid was fighting for Bald’s rear wheel as usual, and Davis started up along the pole tirough ‘the opening. Callahan: started to foliow Davis, and'in some manner- struck Le Jea), wao went dows. Hicks, who was close to Le Jeal, came down, and then there wes a snapping and a crashing that che racing men 8dy was terrible.- Bald was somewhere near the fall but escaped. Eaton was one of those who wentdown. He turned.a complete som- ersault, righted himself, and began couniing aloud as the men went over one by one or in peirs. Some of those who -fell say that they distinctly heard Eaton count them out, as it were, as they siighted on the ground with more or less force. Birdsall rode clear over Charley Wells, and could have si ed on his wheel had it not been for McFariand, on whose breast he diighted with both feet. No serious injuries resulted from this bad mixup, fortunately, the worst being | @ broken shoulde:-blade. Bit the men will carry bruises with them for'some'time to ¢ome in remembrance of it. Eaton is re- ported tc have said that he would not have misséd ‘being in it for anything, it was such fun 1o see them zo down. One of the best runs of the vear will be that- of the Terminal City Wheelmen' of Stockton-Sundey, Auzust 8. It is known a5 their annual watermelon run to Lodi, and will be participated- in_by a large number of wheelmen from this City, San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento. Those irom the first three named places will leave here the Saturday nizht before at 6 o'clock on the steamer T. C. Waiker, re- turning on the same boat the next night. The Sacramento riders will also go over on a river steamer.

While in Stockton the board will be entertained by the Ter- minal City Wheelmen. SPALDING. s e S THE RING. Preliminary Contests Should Be Dispensed With — Those “Draw” Fights. The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday and reported in favor of granting the Na- tional and Pacific athletic clubs permits for boxing entertainments in September. There is no doubt that the clubs that are favored with permits can do well financialy if they take into consideration that the sporting public of this City are ! thorouzh!y posted in the game of fisii- cuffs and will only supvort such contests as are worthy of going some distance to see. Tue sports will not siand for any funny work and the clubs that consum- mate matches with a view of bagging a Kiondyke pot on the gambling or pooi- room end of the game had better look be- fore they leap, because their term of life will be cut short by the men who support pugilism' :n this City. . There are, no doubt, a number of foolish sports who wiil pay tosee any old hippodrome, but | then the ciubs cannot aiford to depend on this class ot trade. % It will pe remembered that when boxing flourished in some of the Eastern cities the fighters und the club managers hit upon a very clever scheme to make & good | thing atthe expense of the sporting ira- ternity. The fighters agreed with the club man- acers to accept a certain percentage of the receivts, thus leaving to all concerned a snug drawdown. 3 The pug:lists further agreed to give the sporte a run for their money by ‘‘putting np”’ “good” exhibitions resulting in what are fermed druws. Eveniua the public *'got ou’’ to the scheme and refused to supportthe well- worket game any longer. Judging from bow the boxing contests of recent da‘e have terminated the same ord'ruse 1s being palmed off on the peopie and it is a question of now long the San Francis¢o sporis wiil stand tlie imposition. Altnough clubs have annonnced -their intention of giving entertiinments in August, there is really. but one contest of the many scheduled that wiil be worti seeing, and that is the Greén and Walcott Alrothers ars toy affairs and un- thv of notice. Doubtless tie cluo that will announce a W | zuod attractive programme minus preiim- es-that are almost invariably tire- nd disgusting will yain the support nfitence of the pecple wno are al- ways ready and willing (o pay handsemely to-witness a rattling bout between good men; with an early departure for toeir re- spective homes. - . Those ten and fi'teen round contests between ‘‘dub’ fighiers should certainiy be omitted from programmes. One warm, six-roiind bout prececing ‘tue event of mar some s the evening,” is all the public desire in the way of an apoetizer. The band will supply the rest. Sl AR ROD AND CREEL. Trout-Fishing on Truckee River. Angling for Sturzeon on Russian River. Tne San Francisco Fly-casting Club can afford to rest very well satisfied that its representative, Walter Mansfeld, will proyz a most powerful competitor when he will -cast lines against the champion fly-casters of the Eastern States at the recond scientific angling tournament of the Chicago Fiy-casting Club, which wili be held at Gartield Park on August 13 and 14. S8ix championship diamond medals, valued at $50 each, will be awarded as first prizes in euch event. In aadition to the many hand<ome prizes that ‘will be comvpeted for the president of the:Chicigo Club has donated a beautiful oil painting of a trout ior the contestant making the highest general average in all events. Local angiers will be very much dis- appointed indeed if the beautiful picture will not cross tre bizg mountains on its way to. California when Mr. Mansfieid wili return with his laurel wreath. Judaging from tne averages, as reported in Basiern papers, made 1n practice cast- ing tournaments by anglers who are scheduled to enter the fly-casting race at Chicugo, our local reprasentative should score sume easy wins, provided, of course, that he will not be affected by a changs of climate or the gathering of experts who will witness the contest. THE CaLn wishes him success, however, and a pleas-|. ani journey to and from the ground.”” Local anglers are flocking to the Ris- sian River, where excellent black bass and striped bass fishing is now being enjoyed by those “who are rusticating near the river. The shortest and ‘best way of reaching the ood fishinz grounds is by the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad and the point of debarkation is Guerneville, All of the deep pools of the river within easy walking disiance of the pretty little mountain town contain splendid game fishes and the lures which have proven most'successful are the live minnow, large bass flies; grasshoppers and a Wilson spoon. ' The best fishing hours -are be- tween 8 and 12 o’clock in the forenocon and about one hour before du- k. Jobn Gallagher caught four bass last Tuesday, the aggregate weight of which was 1114 pounds. Billy Jones, Chris Morehouse, Tom Ferguson and Henry furley have been very successiul this seéason. Morehouse whipsa live or dead minnow in the same manner as the every-day angler whips a spoon, and he bas had exceilent success. Otto Brandsdorff and his thoroughbred dog “Dickey Boy” had one week’s outin on the river recently and Mr. Bransdorif *‘battie- ALTERED CIRCUMSTANCES.

Al Wilson, the Napoleon of anglers, is now located at Russian River station. Mr. Wilson Is enjoying a short vacetion, and he intends to huve a try for some 200-pound sturgeon which are landiocked in the pools within near distance of the site on which he is camped. It will be remembered that Mr. Wil-on caught a 2%0-pound sturgeon in a deep pool near Russian River station in the summer of 1893 The batt'e royal lasted one hour and fifteen minutes aud the angler stated that he had a redhot time. Henry Skinner of the £. T. Allen Com- pany end a party of friends will leave this .evening for Boca. Skinneris one of the local champion fly-casters, consequently he exvects to astonisi the nauves who are at present whippine the beautiful Truckee for rainbows—that is, when he staris to let out that line by the yard. Latest advices from Boca are to.the ef- fect that professional fishermen wno in former years had cast their lines and ures in Independence Lake are now “working’ on the Truckee River and using eve:y de- vice for the capture of trou: from that stream. One angler whio recently returred from there reports huving seen two men using dynamite in the deep pools near the bridge which spans the river aboat one mile below: Boca. It is_to be hoped that the Sportsman’s Club of Truckee will use its best efforts to capture and punish the yandals who are not content to angle by fair means. It dynamitérs are:allowed to go unpunished then anglers may say, without fear of con- tradiction, *‘Farewell, Truckee, you have seen your best days.’’ The following letter from Boca will give anglers who are figuring upon an outing on the beautiful stream a good idea cf the sportthatawaits them: Boca, Cal, July 28, 1897: M. J. Geary, Esq., Sporting Editor. ** Call” ¢ As per my promise of last week, Isend you some news from the Truckee. First of all, let us consider the accommodations. I do not hesitaie to say that this is by jar ti place on the Truckee for the angler to st 1 totally disagree with TH it States that the Truckee i high ‘for good fly-fishing. .1 you were here and observed the magnificent killings which are made daily I am sure.you wouldrecoq- ns not & party who ventures on the stream fails to return with & weii-filled creél, and in' many insiauces thé size of the trout amszed me.

In couctusion I can confidently state from all appearances fishing un the Truckee | has not been better itiis on than. it is At | the present time, The water is.very low and as ciear as crystal. ana Twould therefore ad- vise the angler who is desirous of fishing on the Truckee to- start ior Boca as soon as con- venient. Fromail reports tae fishing at Web- ber and Independence lakes has been very poor this season, and many anglers are arriv- ing here dally from both resor.s. nt over to Independence, driven by “Sam” Williams, the “:amous whip ot the Sierras,” but most all the anglers had left. owing 1o poor snuccess. Yours truly, *. JUDGE JOHN A. CARROLL: bty GUN 'AND - GAME. Three Weeks of Deer-shoptfnz In Marin County—The Trap. Sportsmen will' do well .to remember that the Supervisors of Marin County, at a recent. mueting, decided to cut off one month of the season sanctioned by the State law for. the shooting of.deer. The Supervisors have the power to shorten the seasons for the killing.of game and fish, but they cannot lawfully extend it. The deer-shooting season in Marin County will consequently end on Auguast Frank Commins of the Hibernia Bank - was one of the fortunate sportsmen who visited the Tamalpais preserve on a deer- shooting expedition lust Sunday, Mr. Comimins grussed a fine spiked buck, and modestly he confessed that luck favored him, as the deer fell pierced by a Win- chester rifle buliet seven hundred yards from where the sportsman stood when shooting. " The distance was paced off by Colonel Daniei ()'Connell, whose veracity is beyond question. J. W. Morton and Andrew Corrigan have had good success deer-shooting on the hills west of Camp ’l‘uglor Tecently. r. Leonard and a party of sportsmen are camped in the hills west of Novaio. The doctor reports having had some ter- rible conflicts with mosqjuitoes, which are known by sportsmen a< the humming- birda of the Novato rances, He s:ys the locality in which he is camped is a spien- did place for those who have the Kion- dyke goldfields in mind. Mosquitoes are said to be an awful jest in Alaska, but they cannot be any worse than ‘‘the home swordsmen,” who will give any person desirous of an experiment a fair try-out before entering the Alaskan ring. The doctor has succeeded 1n killing four deer so far this season, but he hopes for many more scalps beiors breaking camp. The trap-shooting events announced for to-morrow are: Empire Gun Club, grand blue rock tour- nament, open to all, at Alameda Point. This will be one of the star evenis of the season, and as the prizes are of excellent value a large crowd will undountedly take part in the races. 3 The California Wing Club will meet at the Ingleside grounds; the Encinal Club at Birds Point, and the Golden Gate Clu at Alameda Junction. - : O:to Feudner wili represent the Oiym pie Gun Club at the shooting tournament of the Yuba and Satter gun clubs, which will be held at Marysville on August 8 and 9. £ Tom Casey will leave this evening with a party of friends for a deer shoot in Lake County. Tom says that it is no irick for him to kill a deer on sight, but he ailows that on one or two occasions he missed the Oakiand ferry-boat. 5 Ed Ladd and party will lsave in a few l By the | - | able days for the deer-licks of Mendocino County. ——— THE OARSMEN. The Champlonship Regatta to Be Held in the Latter Part of September. The championship regatta for the year | 1897 will be held at Ei Campo in the latter part of September. It was so decided by the regatta committee of the Pacific Ath- letic Association on last Wednesday even- 1ng, when the offer of the El Campo man- | agemens of $300 for prizes was accepted by the committee. ¢ Emmet Haydon on behalf of the rail- road company assured the committee that they would ¢o all in their power to make the regatta the most successiul ever held on this coast. Preparations will begin at once, and every club on the bay will be represented. As this will be a championship regatta the Stockton Giants wili either have to TOW or give up their claim to the cham- pionship, The crews of the South End Club will be selected at the next meeting, and. will begin training. The two intermediate crews, and both are anxious to- représent the.club in the championship events. - It will be remem- bered -that crew 1 .wonh:'the junior race on the 20th of June,and is. now out of the junior class. Ciew 2. was entered inthe intermediate event, bitowing:to. the sickness of Tom Lynch was unable to row. As both crews are now in good con< d n,a matich race has bsen arranged for Sunday, August'29, the winners {o row in the championship races. On lisr Sunday several members of the South - E1ds visited Camp Taylor, among them Frank J. Burke and Maurice Pope. The. “glistening waters of Paper-mill Creek were so inviting that an impromptu boatrace was arranged between the above- named oarsmen, which proved to: be the most. interesting - ‘feature of - the - day. Burke' took ‘tne lead at the start .and would have won had not one of the young ladies in “his-boat become excited when near the finish and -capsized the 'boat. The occupants were thrown into the water,.and while the gallant. Burke was assist:ng his friends to the shore Pope crossed the line and. was awarded the prize, amid ‘the excitement and laughter of the spectators. The Alamedas have a coming champion in youni Stamar.: His victory over Scott and Ayres in last Sunday’s eclub regatta ‘was' a. big surprise. -Judges of rowing prophesv that he will be a dangerous man in the next championship regatta. .

Rockeod is. stendily improving ‘along the | Sausalito' and -Fiburon - shores, and it is re- ported that more’ fish. were caught at these Flncesdunnzlh. week than at auy time be- lore this season, 2 3 On Sunday last Frank Breunan, the well- known angler, with two companions, caught about eighty pounds ot red and blue Tockcod at Point Cavalio, the largest weighing three and a hali pounds and several of them over two pounds each. On Tuesday Al Thomsen and a friend caught sixty-eight pounds of fine red rockcod inside the Lime Point fog whistle, the largest weigh- ing four and a half pounds. Large catcies of tomcods and king fish are daily made on the fishing banks opposite Sausulito and the tide-gauge station near Yellow Bluf. Considerable numbers of smelt are caught from the wharves, but the largest are to be had at Target Rock, near Beivedere, and near the Lime Point fog whistle. During the week several have been cnught at the latter place, weighing from one to two pounds, and meas- uring from sixteen to eighteen inches in length. C. FORREST. B KA Handball.

The California Collie Club held ‘a very spirited meeting recently in this Citv,’and s constitution and by-laws were adopted as submitted by the committee, composed of Albee, Barrett and Lopez. C. D. Nairn of Ralston, Polk County, Or., was admit- ted to membership. He will prove a most valuable: member, owing - to his extansive know edge of -colli-s, being at one time first secretary of the Uollie -Ciub of ‘Scot- land and a judge of many shows. Miss Beach, who 1s secretary of the club, will be orly too ‘happy to give whatever in- formation is required by fanciers.regard- ing the new club. FIGHTING CLUB'S SCHENR Three Associations That Would Like to Have No Oppo- sition, But There Are Others’ Who Will Make = Trouble ~ for the Conspirators, There has been some talk of amalgama- tion among three ciubs of this City, which haye orgaiiized ‘purposely to make money ont of buxing entertainments, The clubs mentioned are the National, Empire and . Columbian. The so-called officers of ‘these ciubs have had an under- standing with the object in view of cutting off - all clubs of a like k nd from procuring permits for boxing shows. It is presumed that the promoters of the clubs mentioned will use their political strength * with ‘the ~Supervisofs, hoping | thereby to head off any and all enterpris- ing managers who may attempt to meddle in the mixing of the pugilistic pie. In other words, the managers of the three | clubs now in existence would like very much indeed to have the cutting and dividing of whatever there may be left of the goiden pie after the pugilists have had their share of the dividena. They also contend that if they had full swing the fighters’ bit would be reduced to a yery smail amount, thus enabling the managers to live like fighung cocks and look wise at alf times. There are. other clubs which, however, do-not coincide with the fdeas of the mo- nopolists, and the outlook for a lirtie war- fare among ‘the. contesting clubs is now decidedly promising. The directors of tie California and St. George’s. clubs ridicule the idea of any body of men controlling *‘the fighting industry,” and: as they contend to have prior'clarm by age to all other clubs, ex- cepting the National, they wi.l be up -and doin. when: the season 18 ripe for fighting for their rights, The Supervisors are in a quandary over the question of rights for permits and some of them are strongly in favor of not making fish of -one and flesh of the other. One of the City fathers said recently that ‘managers of clubs who cannot conduct entertainments satisfactory to the patrons of the sport, who pay liberally for re- served seais, should be ‘denied a permit for atl further exhibitions, and his views were voiced by cther members of the board. It is: therefore to be presumed that the scheme concocted ‘by the Em- pire, Columbian and National clubs will be knocked in' the head. The Columbian- Club 'has - matched Gniffin and Smith; thereiore the. proposed match between Solly Smith ar:d “Peddler’” Palmer of England has fallen through for the present. i : It has been stated on what is considered | to be good authority that. Dan 'Stuart will | not have any inzerest in the.fistic.carnival | which is ‘announced i0take place in Car- son_in October. Billy Brady,.Corbett's | ‘manager, has the scbeme in hand, and ‘if | he.can make arrangements to. suit him.a series of matches under Brady’s manage- ment will be held'in the pugilistic town of Nevada State. gl STOLE - RUBBER - HOSE, A Young Man Arrest From His s+ mployers, A young man named George Keiffer was arrested Thursday by Patroimen Glynn and For:esen -of the. Morse Detective Agency on a charge of petty larceny. Keiffer has been emploved for some time .by ‘the Bowers Rubber Company. Lately several emall articles have been missed from the storeroom, and- he was suspvected.

The Manhattan: Athletic:'Club held -its moérthly athletic-entertaiiment Thursday eyening at 1749 Mission streef. - The eveint of ‘the evéning was to have been a ‘six-round. bout between Egan of the Manhattans and Elyof the Olympics, but Ely was unable to keep his engage- ment, as he strained a tendon 1n his last fight, and Egan and Fred Muller boxed instead. Not to disappoint the crowd, the club arranged a four-round go for a decision between Ott and McFadden, both of the Manhattans. The contest was spirited from the call of time to the finish. Ott had the advantage in reach, but McFadden showed greater science. As the judges disaxreed at the end of the bout, Referee Wiggins decided it as a draw. Devoss and Brill gave a clever wrestling exhibition, in which each gained a fall. Other three-round bouts were given by “Doc” Fiynn and Terry, McDonald and Hayes, Grath and McCrossen, McLaughlin and Monahan and Steeles and Porter. The Manhattans are in a flourishing condition, having over 150 members, Their guarters are fllled with muscle- making apparatus of all kinds, giving the members a good opportunity to develop. The officers are: Fresident, A. Bor heim; vice-rresident, A. Graff; recording secretary, Willlam Herbert; financial secretary, Al Murphy; treasurer, Fred Muller; marshal, Joe Mahers; captain, Con Ryan; trustees—J. Whalen, F.
