An Attractive Meet to Be Pro- moted by the Olympic CGlub Wheelmen, Associated Olubs’ and Other Meetings. Phenomenal Twenty-Four-Hour Record. The Olympic Club Wheelmen may rest from their labors, for they have completed the preliminary arrangements for what promises to be the best cycle meet ever held in this city and it will take place at the Velodrome, Hayes, Fell and Baker streets, to-morrow. The fastest riders on thgcoast are entered, as given in THE CaLL Thursday, They will race for valua- ble prizes, and these and tLe elub. rivalry now so manifest here will prompt them to do their very best, The professionals have their mettle up, for Sharick, the Tacoma wonder, will ap- pear with the avowed intention of repeat- ing his marvelous performances of last Sunday at Sacramento and trailing the colors of the local men in the dust.

Vaughn and Palmer of San Diego ‘will also take a hand in the game. Kenna, the Bay City flier, will not ride. He is not in condition, and has been un- able to get sufficient training this week to round himself into shape. This will be a disappointment to his many aa- mirers. In the amateur classall the cracks are after the scalp of John E. ‘Wing, whose record “on his recent norihern trip is cer- tainly unequaled in the number of firsts won by an amateur in such a short space of time. Russ, Mott, Tantau, Hirsch, Peck, leitch and that ¢rowd will tack on to John’s rear wheel, and if he should -win to-morrow it will be decidedly on his merits, for they’re “laying” for him, sure. The Olympics will bave a big crowd at their meet, no one can question that now. Over 1000 reserved seats were scld by yes- terday noon, and in spite of the fact that it is a Sunday meet, to which so much ob- | jection has been raised, there will be as nice & crowd asat a holiday affair, for this is the last meet at the Velodrome, as it is 10 be removed, and they are going to give it & good *sendoff.” - The track, by the way, can be purchased if desired.

Bl TEAMS PLAY TODAY California and Powerful Re- liance to Open Grid- iron Games, Berkeley’s Captain May Be Forced Out by a Better Man for Quarter, Weakness of Second Eleven at Stan- ford Augurs Il for the Future. This afternoon the college footbali sea- son will open with a match between C fornia and Reliance at the new Recreation Grounds, corner of Bighth and Harrison streets, and accessible and transferred to | by almost all the car lines of the city. Reliance has a big team of veterans, combining old college players and mem- bers of former Olympic ana Reliance elevens. It is probabiy the heaviest line ever formed by an athletic club on this coast. The chances are that it will win. California has a collection of promising men that, according to college methods of training, are not so early in the season in their most formidable form as exponents of perfected team work. . All the Stanford football men are com- ing up to watch the game and keep a sharp lookout, particularly on California’s material. The University of California will play different elevens in each half. The Varsity eleven will line up at the first kick-off and the second e'even will take their places at the beginning of the sec- ond half. The teams will probably face each other in this manner: California. Rellauce. Wolt ) 3 Coller } - v L EndR.. Lanyon ]llck«un} Barnes Hooper | Weils | Sheeny J Smith ! mo ) Allen Haskell (capt.)

Ariett This forenoon St. Matthew’s School of San Mateo will play Lowell High School at the Recreation grounds, and this fore- noon also the Stanford freshmen will meet the Y. M. C. A. lightweight team on the Stanford campus, At Berkeley hard field - practice is the order of thedey. There is a notable ab- sence of “stars’ and an encouraging pros- pect of plenty of good average material. The second eleven is sbowing up in excel- lent form: A team picked mainly from the second eleven all but oulplayed the Varsity eleven last Tuesday. There is an encouraging rivalry for most of the positions on the team. Greis- berg, at center, is showing up remarkably well. Despite his weight of 195 pounds he is very quick and powerful. His passiug lacks accuracy, but his defensive work is especially brilliant. He repeatedly breaks through and stops the play, and after dis- posing of his man ofien gets into the play in another part of the fieid. Sheeuy, Ludlow and McDermott lead in the coniest for the two positions of guard with an advantage in favor. of Sheehy. Ludlow’s work is brilliant but at times erratic. McDeérmott has been doing uniformly good work and has im- proved steadily, but he lacks snap. The probable playing of Simpson be- hind the line puts additional interest into the contest for tackle. Barnes, Cor- nish, Dickson, Tolman and Volney Craig are the leading candidates; no one has vet any considerable advantage over the others, Wolf, Collier, Premo and Jack Craig are in the lead for ends. Jimmy Hopper is also being tried at end again instead of halfback. Collier 1s quick and generally sure in his tackimng. His captaining of the second eleven compares very favorably with Haskell’s handling of the Varsity. Craig tackles very high, but generally succeeds in bringing down his man. Wolf and Premo are playing most of the ume on ihe Varsity eleven, and, for light men, show up very weil. Gus Allen is improv- ing rapidly. He gets down the field quickly and is a sure tackler. Haskell's work at quarter is very mediocre. He fumbles entirely too often, and he fails to sccomplish much on de- fensive work. Bender, who was Haskell’s closest opponent last year, has come out and will use every efort to make the team. He has been promised Captain Haskell’s position on the Varsity eleven if he can clearly outpiay him. Spence, if moved from fullback to quar- ter, or Kerloot, a freshmau who - gives promise of developing into an excellent player, ought to be abie 10 press Haskell closely for the position. 1f Simpson plays haliback this year, as he wanis to, California will be strongly eqipped behind the line. Simpson and Hall as two of the backs would put up a hard, spirited rame. Hall1s playing w11, but is still some- wnat weak in punting. For the other posiiion behina the line there is considerable rivalry. McCabe, the freshman captain, is play ng well, but iacks weight. Eliis’ play is dasning and effective, as is also Thane’s but both are light for the position. The same is true of Spence, who has been playing fuilback on tie second eleven. Spence, however, is a very speedy runner and a sure player generally. At Stanford the cooler weather of ‘this week and the greatly improved condition of the gridiron field have been proauctive of good resul:s. Generally the praciice has been fast and snappy. - But the work is by no means satisfactory, because of the comparative weakness of the second eleven. In former years Stanford’s svlen- did second elevens have been directly re- sponsible for' the perfection of Varsity play. 1his was especially the case last season, Something is the matter. Either the players consider that the nine veterans have a ‘cinch” on first position or else they lack the traditional cardinal enthusi- asm. This condition does not speak well for succeeding seasons, for seven of this year's Varsity men are members of the graduating class. The lightness of freshman material, the weakness of the second eleven, and the Q_l‘us])ecli'e loss of many of this year's arsity do not augur well for the season of 1898. And yet after the Varsity lost sucu veterans as Cochran, Reynolds, Frankenheimer, Spalding, Code and Campbell, with the class of '96, it imme- diately recuperated and put for.h its fa- mous 20-0 team. Tuere are, however, some faithful ones, noticeably Ed James, who plays guard against Fickert, and Jerry Rusk, whose nightly tussle with Jack Rice at tackle is the chief joy or the spectators. Besides these there are Bigelow at center, who is giving Burnett a hard fight, and Adams at guard. The struggle beiween Ray Smith and Garth Parker for Varsity right end continues to be close and exciting and is one that baffles theexperts. Daley’s work at haif backis of such a nature as to make him almost a certainty for the position teft vacant by Searight. It was Daley who last year made the long runs in the Stanford-California freshman game. Although somewhat heavier tais year he is much faster, follows his inter- ference well, and 1is quick to see an open- ing and make use of it. As yet Burneti, the big center, has not rounded 1nto the player that his work at the end of last season promised, but he is not a man that attains form early. From indications he will bave his hands full when he runs up against Greisberg, the California center. With perhaps the possible exception of Walter Camp, no coach has made a better impression on Stanford football players and enthusiasts than George Brooke. He seems to understand periectly the min- utest detail of each player's duty and work., He knows just what part ne shouid take in eacu play, and. seems to be as familiar with the " duties of center_ and guards as of the fullbeck bimself. More than this, he is'a quiet man, who carries conviction with his remarks and inspires players by his presence. Tuesday evening he spent an hour and a half talking to the football men and in ageneral way outlin- ing tbe poliey of his training methods. There are some who fear the men may possibly be overworked, as the present practice is much narder and heavier ‘than that doue atthe same time last year. One of the great secrets of Cross’ success as a coach lay in the fact that he was very care- fui about the matter of overtraining, end never uesitated to lay off a man who showed the ieast symptoms of staleneas. As a resuit he put into the field a team that was not weak and worn out by overwork. Walter Camp worked the men barder than any other coach that has had charge of the cardinal players. —_— Frank P. Valatin Was Killed. The true name of the man who was killed by an accident on the steamer Walla'Walla last Thursday evening was Frank p. Valatin, but he was generally known as Silva. HARD-PUNCHING LITTLE ONES Smith and Dizon Are Very Anxious for the Mill, Monday Evening Will Settle the Championship Ques- tion, Billy Elmer and Henry Spanjer May Be Matched by a Local Club. ““Well, whom do you pick for a winner Monday evening?” asked Billy. Woods of Pnil Wand, the well-known referee. Wand 1s a pretty good judgs of fighting stock, but he 1s not a man who cares to express an opinion. However, somewhat favers Smith, but be does not say so directly, as he knows that Dixon is a mechanic of the first water and is still one of the greatest fighters in the land. Although Dixon has a large number of followers who will back him strongly against any man of his weight and inches in the world, bettors must not lose sight of the fact that Smith has a host of ad- wmirers who are strong believers in his abitity to whip the clever Dixon in quick order. They confend that Dixon has had too many fights, and that the several months of hard training he engsged in during his career as a puzgilist must have damaged materially a grand constitution. They nlso contend that he haslost his heavy-hitting power and that he will not be able to resist the attack that Smith will make on him during the heat of tze battle. Of course Dixon’s supporters are of a different way of thinking and s. Monday evening be will sati marers of the game that he is st 10 the honor of feather-weight champion. Tne defeatof Lon Agnews by Henry Spanjer in Sacramento Thursday evening before the Sacramento Athletic Club has aroused much interest in this city. Last night Billy Kennedy, superintend- ent . of the Oympic Clab, wrote a letter to V. 8. McClatchy of the Sacra- mento Bee, stating that Billy Eimer, the thespian pugilist, would like to take on a match with Spanjer, the men to weigh in at 142 at 3o'clock on the day of the fight. Spanjer, Jike Eimer, is a tall and rangy fighter, and a contest between them should be a good card. Koth are game men, Spanjer bas tad several contests in Sacramento. His first notable battle was with Karl Strobel for the li-htweight championship of the Sacramento Athletic Club. Strobel was outclassed, Spanjer's superior reach telling in the commence- ment of the contest. Strobel put up a game fight, but was fought to a standstill. McClatchy understands the game, being a skiilful boxer himself. ' Itisdoubtiul if he will let such an attraction 2s Spanjer and Elmer should prove to- be pass with- out closing with the men. If, bowever, the Sacramento Athletic Ciub does not desire to*handle the match, the men no doubt will be afforded an op- portunity to fight 1n this city. Elmer stated last night that he should like to meet Spanjer in the roped arena. *1 understand,” saia he, “that Spanjer fights similar to me. He is credited with peing a game and clever man. 1 am ready to meet him at 142, weigh inat 3 o'clock on the aay of the fight. I think the Occi- detai Club would take on tne battle if the Sacramento club doesn’t want it.” “Professor'’’ Young Duichy, who trained Joe McAuliffe for his battle with Jack Steizner, states that McAuliffe is ready to meet Stelzner for any sum that Stelsner’s backers may put up. Dutchy thinks that McAuliffe was never in a finer condition to enter the i ring than he is to-day. He is anxious to take on- a match with Stelzner or some other heavy-weight: Van Buskirk is thinking about going. to Los Angeles. He would like & return match with Jeffries. CATCHING TROUT I ON EEL RIVER. The season for catching trout by means THE CAPTAIN AND THE BIG CENTER TRIO OF THE CALIFORN R.- L. McCabe, captain and right half on the University of California freshman team, is 19 years of nge and weighs 155 pounds. He has playea football for the last three vears, for two seasons as half .on the Oakland High School eleven and last season ‘as captain of the Boone’s Academy team. McCabe is a quick, de- termined player and etands a chance of ‘making half on the varsity., ‘Will L. Fowler, who will undoubtedly be the center of the ireshman team, comes from Southern California. He is 22 years of age and weighs 175 pounds. He played guard and half on the Redlands High School eleven, which, two years ago, won the championship of Southern California, defeating the Los Angeles Athletic Club team. Fowler'scomparative lightness for center is offset by three years' experience. Nat G. Guiberson also comes from Southern California.” Guiberson is of gigantic provortions, measuring over 6 feet 5 inches in height, and weighing over 225 vounds. In him are possibilities of great feats with shot and hammer. He is new to the gridiron, but is learning to use his great strength to advantage. A sea- son's practice ought to make him a for- midable candidate for next year’s Varsity. _—_— Twenty-one candidates are trying for positions on the Berkeley freshman eleven. The other candidates are: Dickson, Hawley, Pringle, Tarpey and Koster, for tackles; Premo and Brady, for ends; Kerfoot, Morgan and Emery Smith, for quar- ter; Conlan for halfback, and Kern for fullback. In addition, the following are try- ing for various positions: 8haw, Clark, Prince Smith and Goodfeliow. The prospects are good for a strong freshman line. The record of intercollegiate contests is tuus fer slightly in favor of Berkeley, Palo Alto having won only last year’s match. California’s freshmen won the first game, that of 1804, 4 t0 0, and the game of 1895, 44 to 0. Stanford’s freshmen won the game of 1896, 14 to 4. I IA FRESHMAN TEAM. Eugene or “Gene” Sheehy has the ad- vantages of strength, quickness and foot- ball experience. He played two years on the Santa Clara College eleven, which he captained. He was a star tackle on the Oiympic eleven of last year. Sheehy is a San grancisco boy, 20 years of age and weighing 195 pounds. His entrance at Berkeley occasioned an apprehensive stir tioned. Wand | at Palo Alto, for his.ability is unques-. —— »f rod and line wil! not end until Decem- ber 1, which is a month later than for- merly. Should heavy rains arrive before the closing of the season anglers will have an opportunity of enjoying some goot sport in coast streams during tne first run of steelbeads from the ocean. A large party of auglers is at present camped on the EelRiver, in Humboldt County, and according to the latest re- ports from Scotia the “‘tourists’ are hav- ing splendid fishing. Steelheads and king salmon are now moving up the river and lodging in the big pools near Ferndale, where John Butler, John Gallagher, John Benn (the three Johus) and Colcnel Young are fishing. Doubiless the next steamer from Eureka will carry several packages of nice trout from the havpy Waltonians to friends in this city. Itis said that salmon roe is now selling at a bigh figure 1n Eureka. Indians outside of their reservations have noright to kill fish by illegal means, and it is the duty of the Kish Commis- sioners to teach the Indians a lesson. The Truckee Republican says: It is reported on good authority that the In- dians have been- siaughtering fish on Prosser Creek lately most outrageous.y. The water in the creek is low, and they putin traps and toen go up the stream and drive down every fish ajonz the way and catcu them in their traps. Such desiruction of the fish should not beallowed. Indians have no more privileges in taking game and fish than other persons. Itis thought by some that they are prrvileged 10 kill game and fish at any season of the year, but it is not the case. Indians on reser- vations who maintain tribal re ations have the right to govern themseives, but when they live among the whites they are subject to our laws the seme as any foreigner. and under the same restraits regarding the killing of game and iaking of fish as other persons. When they violate the law they should be punished the same asother persons. They are all provided for on the reservation, and they should stay there or obey the laws wirile they are not there, SKIFF RACES AT EL CAMPO. The rowing men are all talking about the two match races between Dr. C. C. Dennis Alex Pape and W. C. Patch, which will take place to-morrow afternoon at Kl Campo. The men are so evenly matched that it is very difficult for onme to picka winner, the general opinion being that the races will be stubborniy contested from start to finish and the man possesse ing the most erit will win. Dennis and McCausland are old-time rivals, and although McCausland has been defeated twice this year by the dashing South Ender he maintains that on both occasions he was laboring under great dis- adavantage, and he feels confident that in the race to-morrow he will lower the col- ors of Dr. Dennis. Although Pape and Patch are members high. This race is to determine which is entitled to the beautiful gold medal 0.~ fered by the Dolpnin Ciub. In the last race between these two men Patch suc- ceeded in winning the diamond medal which had been in Pape's possession, The race was, however, unsatisiactory and therefore 10-morrow’s race will decide the superiority. The officials for the matches are: Rel- | eree, John T. Sullivan: starter, Adm A. E. von Schbmidt; marshal, Al Fritz; timers—Walter Blake, Joseph Keenan, S, | J. Pembroke, Joe Lyons, M. Calnan judges—L. Stevenson, Albert Carroll, Jo- seph Sullivan, Adam Schupert, Matt Breen and James Pailas. The races will start promptly at 2 o’clock and only one boat will run dnring the day. It js scheduled to leave Tiburon ferry at 1 ». M. and on returning will ieave El Campo at 5 p. M. At the last meeting of the Sonth Ends the following names were prasented for membersuip: Richard Costelio, Walter F. Murphy, Jobn Magan and Charles Jenkins. As the cluo has over 100 mem- bers at the present time it was decided to expel ten members for non-payment of dues unless they call on the finaneial see- retary before the next meeting. The Pioneers will hold their annual so- cial at B'nai B'r:th Hall this'evening, and all the prizes won at the last regatia will e distributed. As this is a social event among oarsmen, quite a large crowd is ex- pected. BALL GArES SCHEDULED.

Mallard, Sprig and Teal That Were Well Fed for Sports- man’s Day. Rail Must Not Be Shot in San Mateo and Alameda Counties for Two Weeks. Judging from the reports that arrived yesterday from the country the sportsmen who shot on the preserved swamps near Suisun enjoyed first-class sport vesterday morning. The weather was not exactly what duek- hunters hoped for, as it requires a go.d stiff blow from the south todrive the b.rds from the river and upper bay into the marshes., But the shooting was neverxhe'- less pretty good from early morning until about 10 o’clock, when the biras ceased to fly in flocks, leaving the sporismen oniy stragglers to bag for the remainder of the day. Among the succsssful ones who will re« turn from Teal station with pond-fed mal= lard, sprig and _teal ducks are Herman Oelrichs, Fred Webster, A. Hamilton, C. Josiyn, John Ellison, W. F. Whittier, A. Borel, Edward_Goodall, A. C. Tubbs, H. Fortman, C. W. Ki <, Uolonel Eddy, George Lent, W. 8. Wattles, George Cla- brough, Mendal Hoytema, Hult McAllis- ter, H. Babcock, E. Donohoe and Fred Ous. The recent rainfall hae been welcomed | by the quail-shooters, as sufficient water | has tallen to put the ground 1n fairly good | condition for the dogs, which caa now | use their noses to good advantage. Amony the sportsmen who will tramp the hills and marshlands near Point | Reyes to-dav and to-morrow are: Howard and Frank Vernon, W. S. Kittle, H. Goi- i ener, Dave Berwick, Bosqui, E. G. Rudolph, F. Butler, Thomas Neverkill Casey, Dr. Stanton, Phil Wand, F. Ed- wards, B, Woodward, A. Jackson, Frank Dolliver, E. Oxnard ana Frank Mackey. Harry Corbett, Joe Thompson, Jack Boyd, Paul Kineston and “Bo ie’” O’Don- n. il are at presenc ou a big mudhen shoot near Suisun, and as the hens are said to be very plentilul this year about Suisun it is sale to say that the ‘‘crack’ shots will return with a large supply of black game and some ducks purchased from a market- hunter who met the party at Suisun. Rail-shooters will exercise good judg ment by allowing the birds on the Alar meda and Belmont marshes to rest until the 15th, when ihe season will open fo rail-shooiing. The reason the Supervisors ordained that the rail season open fifteen days later th:an the guail and duck season is because the young birds are not strong of wing until about the middle of this month, and if sportsmen were al- lowed to shoot them now very few birds would be left for breeding purposes. | Every Tom, Dick and Harry goes afier rail, seemingly, and as the birds are slow flyers at best they fall easy targets to any man who can shoot the least bit on the wing. The following is a copy of the ordinance passe¢ by the Supervisors of San Mateo | County relating to the killing of rail in San Mateo County: Section 1. Every person who in_the county | of San Mateo, Siate of California, between the | 15th day of November of any year and the 15th day of October of the following year shall hunt, pursue, take, kill, destroy or have in his possession any rail shall be guilty of a misdemesnor. Sec. 2. Every person within the county who shall, ut any tlime, in & boat at or near high tide, hunt, pursue, take, kill or destroy any rail shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 3. Auy person found guilty of & viola- tion of any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be punished by fine not exceeding $500, | or by imprisonment in the County Jail not ex- | ceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The quail and duck season opened in | S8an Mateo Connty on Ociober 1. Sporismen must not overlook the fact that the State law gives the Supervisors of any county the power to shorten tha | season for the killing of zame or to close it altozether if they piea . But the Su- pervisors cannot lengthen the season for the killing of game birdsor animals. That ¢ would be in contlict with the State law. —_— The * Wasp’ To-Day, The Wisp this week contains a hali-dozen cartoons, all on local subjects and persons whoare in ihe public eye.
