THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1S, 1897. FALL RACTNE | SEASON OPENS. Capital City Wheelmen's Big Meet a Week From k To-Morrow. The Olympic Wheelmen, Asso- | ciated Clubs and Vallejo Also in Line, The Bay Oity's Big Run To-Morrow. Other Olub Events—The Ter- rills Still Winning. ‘With the celebration at Santa Rosa on Admission day the fall «nd winter season of cycle racing on this coast opened, and | while it was an inauspicious beginning, owing to the mismanagement of the pro- | DOLPHINS=J moters, the meets in prospect will not | suffer from this regard. There is nothing in the way of racing on hand for to-morrow, although there are several club runs. Commencing with next | Sunday week, however, there is the Capi- tal City Wheelm en’s meet at Sacramento. Then on October 3 comes the Olympic Club Wheelmen'’s star event at the Velo- drome in this on the 10th is the @ ten-mile handicap of the Associated Clubs, | while on the 17th a meet is spoken of to be held at Vallejo. Sacramento will then | follow with another ‘‘return” meet, and there is a prospect of the Bay City Wheel- men taking hold of one to be held at the Velodrome. The return of the professional cracks from tneir extended northern triv wili tend to liven things in that class. Ziegler did not come back with tue others, and is sull nursing his Seattle bruises. He may | not ride again this year. The othersare in fine shope, and will all appear at the Sacramento cet, and the others to 1o w. The Capital City Wheelmen of Sacra- mento are receiving a big entry list for their meet a week irom to-morrow. Russ, Cook, Kenna, Mott and Wing are among the prominent amateurs entered, besides Hirsch, Leit+h, Payen, Peck und other Sacramento fliers. In the professional class there will be all the prominent riders of the coust save Ziegler who has not yet returned from the norih, To-dav is tne last day that entries may be mailed to Sacramento to reach there in time before the lists are closed. Riders will be pleased to learn that the banking | of ‘the track coming into the homestretch | will be raised. This was the one weak point in the track, and it snould now | prove to be the fastest oval in the State. The Bacrzmento club has on 1ts pro- gramme two of the greatest events ever | set before the followers of the sport. They are the one-miie Pacific Coast champion- ship, to b: competed in by both prof sionals and amateurs, and the one. te Associated Clubs’ bandicap, the latter event for a purse oi $200, open to profes- | sionals only. These, with the other cvents scheauled, should present a most interesting day’s racing. be Acme Clcb Wneelmen will have a run ‘0 Pleasanton to-morrow, leaving the | ¢ ubhouse at 7:45 A. M. | Many are the riders who are in training | now for the annual ten-mile handicap of | the association from Fruitvale 10 Hay- wards on October 10. This race always attracts a big field. The Olympic trophy | i- atstake in it, too, which lends added interest to the clubs, pariiculariy to the | Acmes Imperials and Santa Rosas, who already have morigages on tuis valuable cun. Entries are limited to mewmbers of the | association and blanks and other infor- | mation may be had of Chairman C. A. Adams of the road racing board, at room 137, Puelan building. The Velodrome will be opened next | week for training privileges for those who | propose competing at the Olympic Club Wheelmen’s big meet on that track on October 3. Tickets for this vrivileze may | be had by adaressing Captain Hadenfeldt ! at the club, or George H. Stratton, 501 | Montgomery street. The otherclubs here ! are lending the Olympics their hearty support and the meet will be a big cycling event. Box parties will be quite the proper thing, and alreaay two big blocks | of seats Lave been spoken for by the Bay | Citys and Californias. | Late odvices bave been received from | ¥ the Terrill brothers in France, as follows: | August 29 was the first day we raced in Paris. Ben was in'with Nossam and had him beelen, bu: was beaten out by & few incies by Buroite, whom he pulied tarough. 1 was in with Morin, who is considered the fastest man here, 88 he has won the Grand P ix de Paris for thre: vears.

We expect to change whees, too, shortly. Harry Terrill recommends a gear as high as 96 for ordinary track-racine. He says that u good rider, while finding him- self handicapped at first and _pmhnbly not showing his former speed in races, will soon become accustomed to it and be faster tban ever.

In speaking of the Terrills, Bearings' Puaris correspondent has this to say: Bob and Harry Terrill are doing the provinces and ere meeting with a frir amount of success. It is true their opponents are not always of the same class as Morin and Jacquelin, but it gives them & chance to win a few events. They both raced last Sunday at Amiens.

Sportsmen are looking anxiously for- ward to the opening day of the season when quail and duck may be lawfully bagced. | The day of opening will fall on Friday, Oc ober 1, but as a large percentage of lo- cal hill-trampers and mud-splashers can- not leave their places of business until the day aiter the inaugzural day of the | season, those who are so fixed financially | and otherwise as to be able to interview | wild game on the day of general slaugh- ter may look forward to some good sport, provided, of course, the weatter will not be tco warm to engage in tramping over | tield or marsh. Unfortunately the game law has been | shamefully violated in many of the coun- | | | ties not far distant from this city, and it is well known to many local s<portsmen that for some weeks past wild ducks «nd quail have been shipped to this ciiy in | butter boxes and disposed of at good prices to socia! clubs and to the proprietors of eating-houses. Some arrests have been made by the game warden, but in almost every instance the Police Courts allowed the offenders to go scot free without even a reprimand. It can be safely said, however, that the officials who faiied to recognize the law so far as game is concerned will not be recog- nized favorably by the sportsmen at a season of the year when votes are in de- mand. The deer-shcoting season in Marin County closed on the 15th inst.—lasi Wednesday—and the Game Warden who resides in San Rafael will keep a close eve ont for law-breakers. It is learned that quail are being shipped from some parts of Marin County to this city in_butter-boxes, but that is nothing new. Howaever, the Fish and Game Com- missioners may after all give some atten- tion to tnis illegal shipment of game in butter-boxes to this city. According to the appropriation the Fish restoration and preservation of game,” 5000, Some of the money may be expended in the empioymentof deputies who can now find a good field for their :ervices in this city as game will arrive daily until October 1. Frank Cumming, John Siebe, Frank La Coste, Billy Brown, G. Domergue and John Bergez enjoyed one of the grandestdeer- hunting trips of the season a few days 80. The sportsmen woand up the season for deer buuting on the Tamalpias pre- serve and the cracking of rifles was some- thine startling as twenty-turee deer were “‘jumped” by the dogs and of that num- ber only three feli to therifles of La Coste, Brown and Bergez. Cumming and Siebe ran out of ammu- nition early in the day and had to content themiselves in watching thgir more fortu- nate companions bowl over the big game. Domergue says ne missed a deer as large as a mule, and be is still wondering how he failed to draw blood. The inanimaie-target shooters will en- jov great sport at Monterey during the tournament which will commence to-day and finish to-morrow. SOME LATEST GRIDRON VS Wandering Olympics From the Disrupted Team Join Reliance. Schedule of Games Readjusted Since Army and Navy’s Collapse. Coach Brooke and His System of Training—Progress at Berke- ley. The disruption of the Army and Navy football team, first chronicled in THE CavrL, has been the most important piece of gridiron news this week. The immediate result of the break-up is that Reliance has already secured from the disbanded eleven “Pete” Smith, Sexton and “Tommy” Code. And these men hope soon to be joined by Abe Lewis and Percy Morse. Fortunately, the adopted schedule of the season’s games among the big four | teams will not be greatly affected by the withdrawal of one of the clubs. Reliance will play the matches that the Army and Nayy team was to have had with the two universities. The proposed Army and Navy match with Reliance on November 20 will be the only date canceled. Following will be the schedule of games at the new grounds, corner of Eightn and Harrison streets. All but the last will be playad on Saturday: October 2—California-Reliance. October 9 anford-Reliance. October 1 tifornis-Reliance, October an o-d-Relience. October lifornia and Stanford Fresh- men. Movember 6—California-Reliance, November 13—Stanford-Reliance. November 25—Thanksgiving Varsity mateh. 1t is unlikely that another Army and Navy team will be organized, as it would have to be composed of enlisted men, there being no officers available; and privates | would not be in the playing class with the three big terms. The probable formation of the Reliance team will be this: Center, Burnett or Wells; guards, Hobbs and *Pete” Smith; tackles, Sexton and Bert Oliver; ends, “Eddie” Sherman and Lanyon, with pos- sibly Abe Lewis; auarter, « “Tommy” Code or Platt; haltbacks, Captain Frick and Carter, with; Percy Morse, perhaps; fullback, A. Arlett or Felton Taylor. These are only the most promising candi- dates. In addition to its match games with CREW. California Reliance will play practice games nearly every Wednesday afternoon on the Berkeley campus, Captain Frick having on last Thursday made provisional arrangements to that effect with Man- ager Brown at Berkeley. : Reliance will have a chance to secure far more good football material than it can possibly use. It is to be regretted many good players, because of mo de amatenr club to shelter them at home, should become *‘wandering min- strels’ and ‘‘crushed tragedians,” toapply two recently celebrated court phrases. It Butte succeeds in being reinstated in amateur standing then its prospective eame with Reliance will be played in Montana. Recent favorable developmerts at Berkeley have done much to dispel the fear at Palo Alto that Stanford men, mindful of their great victory of last Thanksgiving and of the return of so many veteran players, would -be over- confident and inclined to neglect their trawming. At Palo Alto the past week it has been so warm and the new grounds in such a wretched condition, owing to lack of water and proper top dressing, that the players have been unable to getmuch profitable practice. All of them are stiff and sore from their preliminary work. Coach Brooke not only takes well with the Stanford students, but he also wears well. He is in no sense of the phrase “‘a grand stand man,”’ but goes quietly sbout his work, giving hisinstructions wherever they seem most needed. The prelimlnary werk assigned by Brooke differs from that of tbe old Yale coaches. There is no gymnasium exer- cise, no long, exhausting runs to develop wind, but, instead, all the work is done in the field. First, he has every one punting and catching. Then large circles are formed, and the ball is rolled about and dropped upon by each man in szccession. Later, players are divided into squads. Certain of the backs usually gzet in one end of the field, a center passes the bal! to a fullback, who punts to the backs, and the various squads charge down the field in relays. Their business is to tackle and 1 down the man running with the ball, 1 | Such practice as this affords very little opporiunity to judge of the mer:ts of the various players, yet already the work of Ray Smith ‘99, wno took Jeffs’ place at end during the last half of the last T.anksgiving game, is attracting some attention. Perhaps it is because he has had better opportunities that bis work is noticeable. Of the freshmen, Wilson, a halfback from Los Angeles, is showing up very well. He has been appointed temporary captain of the freshman team. Next Saturday the freshmen will nlay Belmont School. This game will afford the first opportunity of estimating the strength of tue new men. It is very probabie that Wyckoff will not repreent Stanford in any of this sea- son’s football games. Although a com- puratively light man, weighing about 150 pounds, he is probably the bpest and most reliable fullback on the coast, but univer- sity work and the fact that he is married will probably keep bim out of gridiron contests. Itis an open race for the honor of doing Stanford’s punting during the season of '97. ““Chet” Murphy has lost none of his skill as a kicker, but there are two, or per- haps three other men, who are possible candidates. Forrest Fisher, the bucking halfback, is one of them. As vet he can- not handle punts well, but he has an en- couraging way of driving them down the field after once landing his instep against the ball. Beckett, the pitcher and a tackle on last year's freshman team, is, thougha trifle slow, punting fairly good distances, The other man is Ray Smith. Last vear he was never known to kick a ball, but he is doing so now. ORAW FIGHTS NOT POPULAR Sporting Men Do Not Ap- prove of the Eastern System. They Want a Winner to Be Named in All Twenty- Round Contests. Pony Moore Says That a Babe Can Whip Jackson in His Present Condition, If the sporting clubs of this city are de- | sirous of upholding boxing contests and | cater to the wants of the people who pa- | Daley, a halfback on last year’s fresh- man team, and Garth Parker, sub-half- OLYMPIC:- INTERMEDIATE CREW: back last year, are the two dark horses for varsity honors. Parker is a strong defensive player and a shifty dodgiLg Yunner with the ball Coach ~Clemans ’93 was very much pleased with his work last year. Dailey is a rushing, headlong player who fears nothing and is always deter- mined to advance the ball at any cost. At the University of California work on the football field has begun in earnest, Eve: afternoon the men are given practice in catching, in running, in tackling and in falling on the ball. Bheehy, the big ex-Olympic guard, who has just entered at Berkeiey, was out for the first tiyne Wednesday with the other candidates. Great things are expected from him and from Gurbarson, the big freshman, who, in spite of previous lack of football experience,is rapidly getting into form. Football Manager Brown of Berkele{ announced yesterday afternoon that in all probability Frank Simpson, the tackle on last year's football team, will play again this season. Simpson is attending the Toland Medical College. At the begin- ning of the term it was not expected that his work would permit him to try for football honors. Changes are being made daily and the men are being tried at different positions. Percv Hall, who played halfback on last year’s eleven, is being tried at end and “Jimmy'’ Hopper behind the line. Itis too early to forecast the probable makeup of the California team. By tne end of another week, however, the foot- ball material will have been somewhat sorted. The Berkeley freshmen will play a number of gamnes with minor eievens be- fore they go against Stanford on October 30. Among the teams they will play are San Mateo School, Belmont School and Santa Clara College. — BASEBALL. The Natlonal Game Will Be Played on Many Diamonds To- Morrow. Fresno’s representatives will meet Bak- ersfield’s champions at O:ntral Park to- ‘day. Pbil Knell, one of the old Califor- nia League pitchers, will be in the box for Bakersfield, and his presence alone shoula prove an attraction.

Jackson has for years hankered after a second meeting with the now success_ful baseball referee, who is said to be making money umpiring the national game in the East while Champion Fitzsimmons is trying to find out where he is at. “Pony’’ Moore has a poor opinion of Jackson. In arecent interview he said: “Peter will never fight again. He is a shadow of his former self. I think a babe could whip him in his present state. The fights arranged for the near future are Solly Smith and George Dixon before the Knickerbocker Club, an1 George Wol- cott and “*Kid'’ Lavigne before the Occi- den‘al Club. The National Club may match George Green and Owen Zeigler. The monthly amateur exhibition of the Excelsior Athletic club takes place on Tuesday evening, the 28th inst., at the clubrooms, Eighth and Folsom sireets.

The races are expected to start promptly SOUTH ENDS - INTERMEDIATE BARGE CREW raw’ fights. There is no occasion fora “draw’” decision in a contest of twenty rounds, and anv good referee who has the courage to announce his opinion regard- less of the fact thatit may be hissed by those who gambled on the defeated man will most certainly have the support and well wishes of all thorough sportsmen. A referee of a boxing contest cannot possibly please all those who witness a tight by deciding in favor of any one man unless the contest ends in a knockout, and even then some people will be heard to remark that *If Mr. Referee had done his | duty and sepsrated the combatants when | they were clinched, so and so would have won beyond a shadow of aoubt.”” The referea of a prize-fight has no very pleasant position, and as stated before his decisions are 1nvariably questioned by | =ome people, who are, as a rule, natural- | born kickers. Instead of chiding a referee for having dec:ded 1n faver of the man whom he be- | lieved to baz honestly entitled to ade- cision, the managers of boxing clubs should most assuredly encourage and up- | hold him, regardiess of what the squeal- ers who may have lost a dollar or so on the contest pelieve or think. It must not be forgotten by the sport- lovers of this city that in the Eastern cities the death of boxing was attributed | to too many “‘draw’’ fights. The sports became disgusted with draw, draw, draw, and they finally ceased to patronize the game in consequence. The story of how Eastern boxing was killed reads as follows: Mr. Kill-me-quick and Mr. Sure-shot, noted pugilists who were a bit anxious about their records, could not agree on the question of weight—possibly half a pound or so—and rather than disappoint the people they finally agreed to & propo- sition made by the manager of whatever club tuey were to do battle in, and that was to box a draw and divide so much percentage of the receipts after the man- ager had his whack. ‘This thing went along all right fora time, out the people who paid the piper finally became disgusted and remained away from the prearranged scrapping matches. Of course that ended every- thing or no money, no fights. It looks very much as if the same old game is to be introduced here, and now the question is, Will the people stand it? San Francisco is said to be full of fish, commonly called suckers; or it is a_jay town, according to some Thespians. How- ever that may be, there is a timeand place for all things, and the managers of boxing clubs will do well to put on their thinking caps, as the local sports who vatronize fisticuffs are getting pretty well disgusted with draw fights and. the divide of the purse or percentage between the scrap- pers. A referee who understands anything about boxing can easily determine which of two men who contest twenty rounds is entitled to a victory; and although the award may be beyend question the referee must always expect a Liss from the small losers of a professional boxing contest. Sam Fitzpatrick, the noted |trainer and bandier of pugilists, who picked up “Kid"" Lavigne from among the salt barreis of Michigan and who helped him to victory on many occasions, has a new candidate to public favor in the light-weight class, Sam has taken Jack Daly of Wilmington, Del., in charse. Daly is of the Fiizsim- mons construction: long of reach, talland rangey, and can easily make the light- weight limit. It is said that under the care of Sam Daly will soon attain cham- pionship form. Peter Jackson unexpectedly arrived from the Jand of roast beef and plum pudding a few days ago, and according to the dispatches be will soon be journeying to his old favorite haunts in San Fran- cisco. Eastern reports state that Peter is looking like his former self and hasoneor two good fights left within him yer. It is to be hoped the reports are true, as Jack- cess Marie, St. Alecia, Flying Buck, Don- | at 11:30 A.

In to-day’s running Bankrupt, Gallant Crest. Wildflower, Systematic, D.ana and Dr. Norman are all new dogs to the local conrse, and yet all of the bluest blood. Besides these there are several others, both Eastern and coast bred, that have been seen only once, or, in ihe latter case, have not been seen before this year, and in consequence there will be goodly specu- lation. The Santa Clara County contin- gent are bringing out a ‘*‘new one” —Wild- flower. Last week the Santa Clara County contingent pulled down $¢20 in stakes and from the pool-boxes. The first race will be called to-day at 1:30 p. M., and there wili be but two run- downs owing to the large entry, which is as follows: P. B. Butler’s Bankrupt vs. Cronin ald’s Best Trump.
