8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 186, 1897. (YGLE RACES AT VALLEJD Ariel Bicycle Club to Hold a Big Wheel Meet There To-Morrow. The Latest Eastern Novelty, a Coasting Contest, to Be Tried Here. A Clever Plan for Checking Road Race Finishes — Cycle Baseball League Forming, The last race meet of tbe season, proba- bly, will be held at Vatlejo to-morrow under the auspices of the Ariel Bicvele Club. The events are entireiy for ama- teurs, and the entry list shows some of the fastest riders in the State in that class entered. The Ariel boys are a hospitable set, and every one attending the meet will be assured a zood day’s sport. The San Francisco contingent will leave here to-morrow morning by steamer Monticello, from Mission-street wharf. Returning, the boat will leave Vallejo at 5 r. M.

FOPHPT= H3, paid and the chances of weekly meets for iwo months, does not fall to the lot of these professionals every day, One of the !atest noveities s the cyclists here is a coasting contest, to | be Leld under the auspices of the Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs. These *‘down-hill” events have recently become very popular in the East, both frem the pleasurable sensation of the ride and the fact that it | does not require any special training. With a little practice any one can become a good cosster. Close-fitting apparel and | an easy-running wheel are the principal | requisites. The idea is to make the event oren to all individual members of the association. A very small entry fee will be charged to cover expenses, and three valuable prizes | will be hung up for the winners, the first to be a gold watch. There is a good | course near Trocadero, another on Balboa | | boulevard and on the Point Lobos road. ¢ is desirable that the association should promote some outdoor contests | open to members who are not racing men. In this coasting event the *‘beenest’” men in the association may have the best chance and will not have to train at all, as they say weight accelerates speed. ride. Bearings of October 7 prints the | rules to be followed and some interesting nints to beginners. The Cycle Baseball League of 1897-98 is | beine arranged, and a schedule of games | will shortly be announced. Itis the pur- | vo-e to have the league composea of | twelve teams—ten from the various clubs, | one from the Cycie Board of Trade and | one composed of the cycle press. The lat- | ter team is already organized and in | semi-weekly practice. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” and it led President Swain of the associa- tion to think out a splendid way of avoid- ing the confusion at ihe finish of road races, such as was witnes-ed last Sunday. His idea is that every man who crosses the | tape shall at once report to a special | checker 100 yards beyond the finish, giv- | ing his number. There will be very few | changes in positions after crossing the | tape, and the riders wili be cortain that they have at Jeast been recorded as finish- | ing. In the scramble for positinns last ! Sunday at Haywards almost a dozen men | crossed the line who were never seen by | the scorers. Oue of them, Jobn David- | son, even took the precaution to yell out | his number, 81! as he flew across tne | tape. Evervbody heard the ‘‘one,” but no one the “eieht,” and so he was scored as No. 1, and “81” did not appear on the | record st all. F. . Bent, W. H. Reid and Don Snedeker have been appointed & commit- tee to arrange for the annual banquet of | the California Cycling Club next mouth. Albert Cunha of Honolulu has joined the c ub.

Reliance will also be stronger than in that game by the addition of Sheehy and Sherman and by improved team work, But the big club eleven will not be quite so formidable as it was a week ago, when, with the veteran Code at quarter, it was outscored by Stanford, 6—4. Tie contest stkouid give a ve aluable line on the comparative strength of Stanford and Caiifornia. As for the Berkeley team it is slowly improving, though its prospects against Stanford are not at all bright. Guiberson, the big freshman guard, has | developed wonderfully, and 1s playing a spirited and aggressive game. Coach Nott predicts that if he improves as much aur- ing the comins two weeks as he has dur- ing the past two he will be playing the best game at guard of any man now try- ing for the position. Castlebun, who has been playing on the third eleven until recently, hasshown marked improvement, and is now being tried at tackle and guard on the second eieven. Greisberg's work at center is daily im- proving. His passing is becoming more and more sccurate and his piay continues to be aggressive. The position of tackle Tolman is showing up htiy better than the other candidates. Unless Simpsou can be persuaded to play in his ola posi- tion the probability is that tackle will be California’s vulnerable spot. Bender and Heskell have been enzaged in a spirited contest for quarter. Haskell improved wonderfully since his resigna- nation as cartain and has almost over- come the tendency to fumble which char- acterized his play early in the season, Haskell I be seriously handicapped by his recent accident, which wi/l preyent asopen as ever. bim from ying tor several weeks. Mecanwhile Spence, Thane and Hopper will also be triel at quarter so that in case Haskeil is permanently disqualitied the position can be supplied wita alter- nates. Coach Nott complains that Hallis ex- ceedingly weak in going into the line, Hall and Spence are doing zbout the same qualily of work in kicking. Whipple, last year's subhalf, is try for end this year. Ludlow is being tried atend, and is playinga good game. The latest change in the football train- ing at Berkeley has been the trying of Greisburg behind the line. On Thursday night be was tried at right half, McDer- mott taking his place at center. Greis. berg vlayed a fast and furious game, and bucked through the secend eleven line for repeated gains. he zood work of Guiberson and Pringle in the recent freshman games makes it more than a pssibility that both guards may be chosen from the freshman class, On the Stanford gridiron the general work this week has not been satisfactory, considering the weaknesses shown in the team in last Saturday’'s game with Re- liance. Ray Smith, the end rush who scored Stanford’s only touchdown in last Satur- day’s game, has become stale and has been lald off for two weeks by Coach Brooke. McFadden 1900, another end who sur- prised every cne by his very clever work still suffering from a game knee. ‘Jack” Rice is being tried at half, Ed | James, a much heavier man, taking his | old position at left tackle. Rice, because of his great knowledge of the game and | bisgrit and notwithstanding his light- | ness, is rezarded as almost a certainty for the team and shouid make a good defen- sive and bucking half it no heavy defen- sive half can be found to play back of him at leit tackle. Av present he is handi- capped by injured hanas, Garth Parker,who played end in the Re- | liance game, is sufferinz from a bad foot, | due to irri:ation caused by coloring mat- | ter from his stocking. Clemans wa- very | favorably impressed last vear with his | ability as a balfback, and, although Parker has not been tried much at the position this year, it is understood that he will be given plenty of opportunity to show what he can do as a ground-gainer. “Nat” Carle, who i< at present playing the be-t game at guard of any of the coast p'avers, is making a scientific study of the kick-off, and with surprising suc- cess. The prospects from present indications are that California bas a better freshman ldmingme early part of the season, is eley last Wednesday afternoon Califurnia’s freshman eleven defeatea the Y. M. C.

Success on hill or marsh will not be had until there is a decided change in the weather, Sportsmen report that during the past week several flocks of sprig have put in an appearanc: on the Sonoma marshes. Market hunters who bave located on the grounds of the Empire Club and in | the vicinity of Sears Point will soon have to change their base, as the Supervisors of Sonoma Couaty intend to pass an ordi- ihe shipment of game outside of their county. This news will be welcomed by all sportsmen who shoot for pleasure.

The quail-hunters who visited Point Reyes last Sunday were astonished at see- in> Old Man Casey and his famous setter, D21, coming home in a very distressed condition.

Truman of 1425 Steiner street re- grets the loss of one of the grandest prize- winning pointers that ever ranged in front of a shotgan. Every tocal sportsman who loves a thoroughbred pointer or setter Pointer Patti Croxteth T, Which Was CGwned by Al Truman. has heard of the once famous Patti Croxteih T. She was famous in the East as well as in the West as a winner 1n the field and on the bench. Among Patti’s descendants were many gzlu winners. Three generations of nch and field trial winners descended from her, and she herself was a double- field trial winner.

Side Bet for Another Match, | Managers of Lavigne and Walcott | May Select a Referee Next Week. Joe Goddard, “the Barrier champion,” left this city vesterday afternvon for his training quarters at Sauszlito. He said that he would remain in Sausalito until the time is set for the selection of a referee, when he will return to this city and hold a conference with the managers of the portant peint. Speaking of Tom Sharkey, his pros- pective opponent, Goddard said that he was awfuily surprised when he picked up a CALL somewhere along the line of rail road about Truckee and read in the top hnes: “Faker Sharkey is a dead one and the fight won’t draw a corporal’s guard, etc., etc.” “I thoaght Sharkey was very popular | here,”” said the ‘‘Barrier champion,” “otherwise I would not have made this match so hurriedly. “In the East they told me Sharkey was a ‘California favorite,” and of course 1 thought a match between us would draw well. Now that I have signed to fight him Ido not vropose to back out, no matter what comes.” “Why did_you not notice Choynski’s challenge? Joeis very popuiar here and stween you would attractan im- mense crowd,’” was asked. Spa ““Well, I have whipped Choynski twice,” know how many times the low wants a drubbing before he acknowledges that I am his superior. But I will say rignt here that if Choynsk: or any of his friends will deposit $5000 with | your paper asa side bet I will cover the {money ana will fight him in his own | cit; hat means that you will throw up your partly arranzed match with Sharkey and take on Choynski?"’ The Barrier champion hesitated for a moment and then replied that he would | tight Choynski after he had met Sharkey. “But there is no money to be made by fighting Sharkey in this city; the sport- ing fraternity will not stand for 1it; smacks too much of the hippodrome, Mr. Goddard.” “Well, I don't know anything about this fellow Sharkey,” the heavy-weight answered in a manner that plainiy mani- fested his daisgust for having signed ar- ticles; ““there is one thing certain and against me.”’ How Goddaid expects to realize a cent from his fight with Sharkey puzzles the best sporting authorities of this city. Those who patronize fisticuffsarein hopes that Goddard will throw up the engage- | menthe has with Sharkey and take on Choynski. True ‘the Barrier champ” whipped Choynski twice, but they were the tough- est buitles he had ever fought in any country. Thesporting men of San Fran- | e1sco read the accounts of the contests with much interest, and they now feel as if they cou.d afford to pay a vood round sum for the pleasure oi seeing the heavy puuchers do battle in thiscity. dard whipped Choynski *“Denver Ed Smith"” whipped Goddard in New Or- leans in eighteen rounds, and that Choynski made short work of Smithin a fight that took place since then.

Although George Lavigne and Joe Wal- cott are training like Trojans for tbeir championship contest, very little bettingz kas been indulzed in as vet. The pool- rooms have not sold any pools on the match, but some private wagers have been made at even money and take your choice. It goes without saying :hat the contest will attract an immense crowd. as it is | many moons since two great men so | evenly matclied have been signed to do | battle in & club where only a fair field and no favor will be tolerated. Although the managers of the pugilists agreed not to select areferee until the day prior to the battle, it is thought that they will reconsider that part of the agreement and select the judre within a week, as they are anxious to know who the gentle- man will be, O'Rourke is particularly desirous of Laving a referee selected as early as possi- ble. He says that he does not fancy an- other such experience as he had when Smith got a decision over George Dixon.

A number of local anglers who left this city a few weeks ago to enjoy a few weeks’ vacation in Humboldt County are ex- pected to return to-day from Eel River. Among the pleasure-hunters are Butler, Gallagher, Benn and Williams. Butler and Gallagber shipped one box of small fish, and as a guarantee that the river contains a few large fish one four- pound steelhead was among the little fel- lows. Creek, and particularly those who have whipped the stretch of water between Taylorvilie and Tocaloma, knew of a three-pound trout which *‘had camped” in a deep pool known as the Bulkhead pool, and althouzh hooked several times it invariably managed to regain its liberty by artful dodging and hard fighting. The trout was dubbed ‘“‘the demon’’ be- cause of itymany escapes from a place in any of the baskets that hung over the shoulders of mighty anglers. The fly- fishermen hooked him; the angler who swears by the spoon and spinner had the pleasure of hooking bim, and feli the keen disappointment consequent at seeing him disappear in the deptus of the pool, the vrize of some other more fortunate fellow; the man who relies solely in the worm, roe and shrimp as being the most kill.ng lures has not been omitted from the list of Waltons who were baffled by ‘‘the demon’’ of the Paper-mill. Louis Rondeau is credited with being the first of tne fraternity of stream-whip- pers who iocated the beauty, but Rondeau with all his art and cunning failea to land the whopper. In fact, Rondeau said the fish should be called a catfish, owing | to the several lives it possessed. Al Smith kept secret the presence of the three-pounder from his brother anglers for several months. Frank Marcus had him “staked out” since last June. Doc Watt camped over night many moons, | just because he wanted that paruicular fish. George Walker (June Bug) tried all kinds of lines without avall. Frank Dol- liver hooked and lost him; sodid Charley Precht. -Miller, the jeweler, knew the { fish so well as to be able to inform his | friends of the exact length of the t.out and the number of teeth it possessed. But, like the proverbial fox, Mr. Trout, with all of its accreditea charms, was | finally captured by Stamp-Collector | Coover last Sunday week on a little | spinner of th» angler’s own manufacture, It weighed 3!{ pounds, aud was in splen- did condition, notwitnstanding that por- | | | tions of a Doc Watt spoon, & Wilson spin- | nerand a Smith baithook were extracted from its jaw. | _On dressing the fish after its capture | Mr. Cooper discovered a large-size arti- | ficial June bug in its intestiues, but Mr. ‘ Walker states that the trout must have been suffering from a severe attack of ap- | pendicitis, otherwise Cooper would never have landed 1t on a spoon of his own make, | The beauty of the Paper-mill is now in | the hands of “Taxidermist” Dolliver, and ! when that gantleman has completed tne | task of bottling it Mr. Trout will be ex- hibited at the next meeting of the San Francisco Rud and Gun Club.
