THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1897 The California Schuetzen Club is mak- | 1ng extensive preparations for itsannual | shooting festival, which will be heid at San Rafael range on the 22d and 29th of this month. Very valuable prizes wiil be offered, and as marksmen from different | sections of the State will be present excit- ing contests will assuredly result. | In sporting circles the principal topic | relates to the ereat welter-weight battle, which will be fought at Woodward’s Pa- vilion in a few weeks between Jos Walcott and Georze Green. Coursing isin full blast. The managers of Ingleside Park have inaugurated a new move by the introduction of two days’ coursing in the week. The oarsmen who are in training for the El Campo and Guerneville regattas are | fast rounding into form. Stockton will | be represented by some of its leading scull- | ers at El Campo. Basebail is rapidly growing in favor just because the players have realized that the lovers of the game will remain away unless tbey can rest assured of seeing well- ed games. THE WHEELMEN. Kraft Will Try for the Twenty-Mile Record To-morrow — Acme Road Pace. CLUB EV. S TO-MORROW. Acme Club Wheelmen —Koad race, | San Leandro to Baywards. i Bay City Wheelmen—Run to San Le- | andro. | | Chance Acquaintance Club—Run to San Mate Iwper Cycling Club — Yachting | party. Olympic Club Wheelmen—Blind run San Francisco Road Club—Run to Sa: Quentin, I Charles A. Kraft of the Bay City Wheel- | men, who bas justly earned the right to | b iled the best road-rider in the State, will endeavor to make a new coast record | for twenty miles to-morrow morning over the San Leandro triangle. The arrange- ments have been in the hands of D. Lloyd Conkling, and are so complete that it | would seem Kraft cannot fail to break all coast records and possibly establish one lJower than any Eastern performance. Notbing but an accident or a poor road will prevent him, for he certainly has the speed, determination and all that go to make up a record-breaker. The start will be about 10 o’clock from Fitchburg, and tke course is around the San Leandro triangle. Officials and spec- tators will all go over on the 8:30 A. M. poat. The course has been divided so that no tandem team will have morethan t1wo miles to pace Kraft, and should there- fore make the speed very fast. Kraft will start out behind the David- son brothers, John E.and Walter J., of the Bay City Wheelmen, and be taken by them to the power-house this side of San | Leandro, where Vincent aud Ferguson, | B. C. W., will take him and carry him to the first junction. beyond San Leandro. There he will be picked up by Thiesen and Birdsall, tne crack team of the Cali- fornia Cycling Club, and paced by them to the first turn. From Haywards to San Lorenzo Kelley and Tobin, Bay Citys, will keep him goingto the tank corner. Kanzee sna Raynaud, B.C. W., will ve | in waiting there and will see him safely | | across the raiiroad track, and then Men- ael and Welch, B. C. W., will make the pace back into San Leandro. The short | distance in San Leandro will be ridden | without pace, owing to tbe turns. | On the second time down the Haywards | road Bacon and Peck, B. C. W., will take bim in tow, to be relieved bv Haley ana Gilman, B. C.

Moore, at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents, by the Rev. | Dr. Gibson. They are now away on their | honeymoon. The Golden Gate Cycling Club will have | a five-mile road race on Sunday, Septem- ber 5, from San Leandro to Haywards. The Never Sweat Cychng Club will take afour days’ trip through Lake County, | starting Friday, September 3. and foliow- | ing the same route traversed by them with | such joy about a month ago.

[ In answer to the question, Are you | matched to engage in a special race with Mr. Robinson? Feudner replied that there had been considerable talk on the matter, but that nothing as yet had been accom- plished looking toward the consumma- tion of a mateh, The greatlittle pigeon grasser and popu- lar salesman o 7. Allen is not by any means averse to 2 meeting with any man. He said: *Yes; I will meet Mr. Robinson or any of the crack shots in a 100-bird race | at live or artificial birds provided a match | can be made from $200 to §500 a side. | *1 need money, now that I am a man of | family,’” laughingly rejoined Mr. Feudner, | “and 1 think I am jast about good enough to, at least, take a chance. I would not have any objection to a three-corner race, either.

Game Warden Mogan states that so long as the Police Court Judges will re- tuse to punish the sellers of game out of season to the extent only of a nominal | be can stop the illicit sale of game in | the City markets.

On Satur- day evening, September 4, the club will hold its first hign jinks. To-morrow Captain Hadenfeldt will lead the members of the Olympic Club whee!- men on a blina run. The distance will be short, and a fine dinner will be served at the end of the run. On the following San- day there will be a five-mile handicep road-rzce. For Saturday and Sunday, August 23and 29, a trip to Stockton by boat and a cycle ride to Lodi, are being | planned. R. W. Brown, the one-legged cyclist, sends in the following communication : To the Editor of the Call: On ths 12th of June last I rode a race with Scheil. the two- legged Chutes coaster, around the bay, start- ing from THE CALL office on Market street, riding to San Jose, thence to Oakland ferry, and from the wharf back to the Chutes. Iwas given one hour start and came in first. Now Mr. Schell is trying to make me out no rider at all, and says through sympathy he let me win. " The ride was made by me under very difficult circumstunces, as I had just a week before received a very bad hurton my right hip, aud was suffering severe pain. Now, I wish 10 say to tn- public, and es- pecially to Mr. Schell, that I staud ready to ride him 100 miles on the Velodrome track, or arouna the bay, under the same conditions, one hour to be given me, for any amonnt he may name.

The twenty-mile coast record that Kraft is particularly after is now held by E. A. Bozio of the Imperial Cycling Club at 50 min, 16 sec., and is hardly a month oid. ‘Lbe best time by any Eastern amateur rider is 48:58, made by L. N. Walleston of Newburyport, Mass.. October 4, 1895, over a standard course. 46:01 was made by A. B. McDonnell of Buffaio, N. Y., May 26, 1896, but this was over a straightaway course. Captain Henry L. Day has called a run of the Bay City Wheelmen for to-morrow to witness Kraft's record trial. The mem- bers will take the 8 A. M. broad-gauge boat. The much-looked-for run of the San Francisco Road Club to San Quentin has been called by Captain L:wis for to-mor- row. The run will leuve the clubhouse, 503 Golden Gate avenue, at 9 A. M., taking | the 9:30 boat to Tiburon. The club has beon favored with permission to inspect the penitentiary. This is oce of the inost interesting runs hereabouts and a large crowd is expected. Friends of members and unattached wheelmen are invited. The Acme Club Wheelmen of Qakland will have a five-mile road race to-morrow morning from San Leandro to Haywards. Captain Shedd says that his men are all well trained snd he expects some fast time to be made. There will be a large entry-list. The Chance Acquaintance Club and another called Our Own Bicycle ana Social Combination will have a joint run tosmorrow to San Mateo, first visiting the | Bpring Valley lakes via Uncle Tom’s| Cabin, A iarge party is expected, as this is one of the prettiest tripsin San Mateo County. C. P. McLeod, who has been prominent in cyciing affairs in Solano County, is now located nere permanently, being one of the staff of Western Sports. George E. Dixon, the ‘‘Senator,” is also connected with the same paper, which will iszsue its first number next Thursday. The Mechanics’ Institute bhas named Friday evening, August 20, as wheelmen’s night at the fair, under the auspices of the association, and a special programme is now being arranged to fit the occasion. The association’s booth at the fair will probably be in charge of Victor A. Han- cock. Charles Albert Adams is making the arrangements. team sent by St. Paul to the annual turn at St. Louis .ast May. After it was over they started South on their wheels, riding through Indian Territory and Texas, touching Dallas, Fort Worth and El Paso. They crossed the desert to Yuma. Arriving in Los Angeles, Mr. | Noel remained there for neariy a month, while Mr. Snow and Mr. Charles, whom | they met there, went down the coast to the Mexican border line ard back. All| three tnen started for this City, following | the coast route. They will remain here | about a month and then start for home, | going north to Oregon and thence East. Snow and Noel have traversed over 3000 miles since tuey started on their wheels, | averaging from forty to hfty miles a aay. Until they reached Southern California | the roads were so rough they used the | railroad bed most of the time, President T. J. Winslow of the Imperial Cycling Club has not yet received any ac- | ceptance of his challenge, as published in | THE CALL last Bunday, to race the 'presi- | dent of any other club in this City five miles op the road, President Charles Atbert Adams of the Olympic Club Wheelmen preferred. Since Mr. Adams was forcea 10 lower his colors to the superior pedaling proclivities of Frank Fuller a month or two ago, he has not done any active train- | ing, but wouid like to offer E. F. Russ or J. E. Wing as asubstitute, if Mr. Winslow does not mind. If this is satistactory, the match can undoubtedly be arranged for | an early date. Otherwise President Wynne of the Californias will undoubtealy take on the doughty flier of the Imperials.

According to the game iaw, the season for shooting mountain quail and grouss | will oven on September 1 and wiil end on February 15 of the following year. . ! The mountain quail and grouse shoot- ing season opened last year on August 15, bus the change of a few weeks was made at the solicitation of sportsmen who do not consider it sport to shoot young_birds, when they are but half grown. Valiey quail and wild duck may be shot on Oc- tober 1, which is one month later. .

Messrs. George Crocker, George Sperry and E. F. Preston enjoyed some great dove-shooting recently near Minturn. The total bag amounted to 250 doves and six “‘wild”’ turkeys that were just in season. The following party of sportsmen and lovers of nature in its wildest form will leave Oakland on Sunday morning for a two weeks’ outing at Mount Shast; Chief Fair of thz Oakland ¥ire Depart- ment, Judge E. L. Lawrence, Krank Thoits, George Weaver and William J. Ahnern, the president of t"e Sportsman’s Protective Association. The sportsmen, who are out for bear steaks and Dolly Varden trout, will be met at Redding by two mnoted woodsmen and escorted to Camp Grizz'y, which is a wild and roman- tic spot on the west side of the snow- capped mountains. Chief Fair has a reputation of killing several polar bear when rusticating some years ago in the polar regions, and as a matter of fact ne has no fear of such a small animal as a grizzly or cinnamon | bear. The sportsmen are well provided with all kinds of instruments of torture, such as rifles, shotguns, and hooks for the capture of mountain trout. Mr, Ahern has an idea that a rattlesnake may cross his path, and in case of a sudden strike he has placed away in his medicine-chest what he calls the Klondike rattlesnake cure, that is good either before orafter the attack. A letter was received a few days ago from Weaverville, Trinity Connty, which gives an interesting account of a bear hunt, from which the sportsman came qut “‘best man.” It reads: W. 1. Hupp Jr. shot a big cinnamon bear on Van Matre Creek, which 1s about half a mile from the pipe camp of Schaw, Ingram, Batcher & Co., on Stuarts Fork. He was walking along the old Buckeyve diteh, about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, wh w a benr feeding on the sidehill about 150 yards away, and immed:- ately fired. The bear raninto the brush and twenty ieet. As he could not ses him, but oniy liear him growling and biting the brush, he did not follow any tarther, but went back to camp. The next morning he went out with a party and found the bear dead abouta mile from where he was shot. They tracked him by crawling through the brush. The last 200 bear had bitten and torn up the brush in his gles. The bullet had entered near his tail and ranged up through his body,stopping near his heart. The bear was a monster, and though very thin was esiimated to weigh irom 400 to 450 pounds. His paw was about ien inches in dismeter. He was an old feilow, as bis teeth were worn. In his death agony he had bitten | the flesh nearly off one of his forepaws. Although so late in the season his fur was in good condition. He was carcfully skinned, and the hide, which is a fine one, was pre- sented to Mrs. J. H. Batcher, who is spending the summer with her husband at the pipe camp. . THE . PUGILISTS. Walco't and Green Are Now In Fine Condition for a Hot Mill, The St. George Club made a serious mistake when 1t placed Ball and Baker, heavy-weights, on its programgne as the leading feature of the exhibition that was witnessed by a small crowd last Wednes- day evening, Sports who care to witness boxing con- tests will not trouble their minds about men who are unfit for the game of fisti- cuff, and when they see such a brace of dubs as Baker and Ball figuring on a card as the leading attraciion, they say *Nay, nay!” If the St. George people had placed the bill of fare and announced it as the *‘event | of the evening,” doubtless a well-filled house wouid have greeted the contestunts when they entered the ring. The mushroom clubs or ciubs that spring up in a night may consider them- selves fortunate if they procure a permit | from the City fathers io give a boxiug entertainment. They seldom take into consideration, however, the vital points of match-making which are esential toward accomplishing the success that club managers hope for when they an- nounce 8 bexing entertainment. Gener- | burns large and ominous ally speaking new clubs with inexperi- enced people at their head enjoy a short lease of life, but then they profit by a knowledge that can only be obtained through a trial that almost invariably holes in the pockets of the tyros. Ivis a singular coincidence that not- withstanding the hot tumbles which some | enterprising athlet:c club managers have received in this City within the past year, there ure other Kiondikers always ready to slip into their boots, only to fai! by the wayside, completely wrecked in mind and pocket. - But it seems that all the sport- ing fools are not dead yet, as it Isreported thatai the next meeting of ihie Board of Supervisors new clubs wnich have recently fluttered into life will apply for permis- sion to give a “‘boxing entertainment.” To manace successfully a boxing ente tainment requires an extended kuowledge of the game which few people possess. In fact the staid old clubs, such as the National and Occidental (ihe latter has not been heard from for some time), have had several close calls financially, and if the truth were only known the Occidental called a halt when'it received a singeing— the result of an entertainment that was given by 1t at Woodward’s Pavilion some months ago. The Empire is dead and doubtless its next-door neighbor will retire irom the ring after 1's next exhibition. The National is the only club now on the boards that has on its cari what gives every promise of being a rattling good contest. Green and Walgott are punchers from *‘old town'’ ana as they are also sci- entific and masters of the game of punch and dnck the sporting fraternity can safely count upon getting a good run for their money. Green will have a four-and-a- | half-inch advantage over his colored op- ponent in height, but it musi be said of Walcott that his body blows are gruelers and decidedly painful. Green 1s unquestionably the master of Walcott in cleverness and ring general- ship, but although George lands time and again with left and right his blows, some- how, do not accomplish the much-looked- for result, viz., a knockout. It is hard to predict who will be re- turned a winner in the race of the 26th inst., but the outlook has the earmarks of | arun to the end of the twentieth round. with arattling finish, Case, the pugilist who warmed Aznew’s face and body at the St. George’s Club en: tertainment, will bar no man ia his clas: and Everhardt, Kelly, Gallagher et al. need not look any longer toward the East for a man in their class to whip, as Case will take any of them on whenever taey ar2 ready for a little sport with the matts. De Witt C. Van Court, who for a number of years was a boxing instructor of the O'ympic Club and who 1s a thorough mas- ter of the game, has published a valuable book on fisticuffs entitled ‘' The Modern Boxer,” with several half-tonc 1llustra- tions of the different styles of defense and attack, Amateurs and young men who are anxious to become adept boxers will | learn much valuable information from a close perusal of the book in question. ufeaetige et COURSING. Two Days’ Running This Week and the Biggest Eniry of the Year. | The elimination of the entry limit and , consequent inauguration of two days’| coursing a week instead of one, appears to | have found prompt favor. No iess than fifty-four candidates will essay the sprint up the sward after hares—and coin— to-day.

Master Glenkirk has been there vefore and will goagain. Ward also has a blue dog, Speculation, in train- ing that is new to the local field and will soon be shown. Magnet, the winner of last Sunday’s stake, has about recovered from the in- jury received therein, but will be given a | few weeks' rest. “Billy” Murphy of Ocean View has been ced by E. V.

But few dogs uave vet been declared, but from the kennels whence have come the nominations the | stake will this year be one of the greatest puppy events ever run off in America. Now that grevhounds have become property of much value, a strong protest is made by the various owners against the indiscriminate use of barbed wire along public roads. It is claimed that plain wire would accomplish the same protec- tion of property and jeopardize the in- terests of no one. S STOCKTON DRIVING CLUB.

Before leaving England the Philadel- phia cricketers were banqueted night after night, the most official occasion being the feast provided by the Surrey Club and pre- sided over by Sir Richard Webster. No less than three crack bowlers have taken two wicketsin a first-class match this season. They are Richardson, Hearne and Oyril Bland. The order of the Engiish counties to date is as follo Lancashire, Essex, Yorkshire. Surry, Notts, Gloucestershire, Warwicksnire, Sussex, Kent, Harpshire, Middlesex, Leicestershire, Somersetshire, Derbyshire. Champion W. R. Grace has passed his 1000-run mark of the season already. The old man gives no indication of quitting vet awhile. Some extraordinary high scores have been made during the past thirty days. A team in Philadelphia last week got 527 for two wickets, their opponents scoring 222 and 109. One player made 314, not out, and another 116. The Bachelors and Benedicts of Port- land piayed at the Muitnomah field last Saturday, the victory going to the single men. The malch to-morrow, Pacifics vs. Bo- hemians, at Golden Gate, is likely to be very interesting if the Bohemians are not too shy of bowlars. Should they have Cookson it will be anybody’s game. The Pacifics’ team will be as follows: Dickin- son, Casidy, Wiseman, Myers, George Theobald, Musson, Sewell, McGaw. Tiede- man, Harbour and Townsley. UMPIRE. RE S o THE RIFLE.

The rifles will commence to crack at | 9:15 o’clock on the morning of the first day of the shoot, and a constant fusillade on the twenty targets will be kept up until 6:30 P. M. Tne rules which will govern the con- tests are the same as usual, no change having been made in them. Xor the greater number of points scored during the day twenty-tfive vprizes are offered, ranging in value from $50 to $12. The marksmen who will score 350 points will receive §15 and a diploma as master sharp- shooter, and also a laurel wreath.

FRESNO, CAL., Aug. 12.—Fresno has many sportsmen and at present they are engaging in the avocations with great eutnusiasm. Not for many seasons has game been as plentiful as it is this year. Doves and quail especially abound. Probably the most successful hunting ex- pedition of the season was that of Justice S. C. St. John, Dr. J. C. Cooper, Harry V. Armitage anc Arthur Machen, who drove to the San Joaquin River last Saturday afternoon and spent the night and Sunday there. BSaturday evening was spent in_{rying to spear salmon by torchlight, but not one of the finay tribe put in an appearance. The next morning was devoted toadove nunt, and hundreds of the birds were brought dowu.
