The Bay Citys and San Franciscos are neighbors, their clubhouses being situated within a stone’s throw of each other on Golden Gate aven Captains Larkin and Lewis have arra joint club run, to leave the corner of Golden Gate avenue and Poik sireet at 9 A M. After a short ride they will turn their faces toward the baseball grounds at Sixteenth and Folsom streeis, where the great game is scheduled to take place at 10 . 3. The Bay Citys will provably play the two Halls, McGilvray, Menne, Fred Day, Haswell, Kanzee, Raynaud and Boeckmann.

R-cent advices from Australia say that “Plugger Bill” Martin recently rode a siraigutaway mile on an asphalt course in 1:19 3-5, which is way beiow the worid's record. The time hus notyet been con- firmed, and we do not know how he was paced. .. W. Peabody, the Chicago amateur, who isendeavoring to equal Zimmerman’s record of 100 firsts in a season, as told in THE CALL last Saturday, has won his ninetieth first place, and has four more weeks in which to win ten more. He will undoubtedly equal and probably exceed the record. 4 A. G. Batchelder, the New York hanai- capper, has been sent to Europe to secare Ceordang, Bouhours, Chase, Linton and other crack racing men to enter the day and other long-distance competitions 1o be run in New York this winter. 1 bave it from excellent authori:v that Powers and Brady, who are backing this project, inten ow with these men in all the prominent cities of the United States this winter and next spring, and have already got an option on the Me- chanies’ Pavilion, with the idea of coming 1o San Francisco. lf they do cveing would receive a splendid impetus here, for these men are world renowned riders, and they now use eleotrical triplet pac- ing, doing away with the necessity of supporting big vacing teams. Sigmund Bachmann, the Austrian cy- ciist, who has covered 13,762 miles on his journey round the worid chus far, wiil lecture at Austrian Hall, 507 Sutter street, Sunday evening, November 7. Besides nis lecture the programme will include music and recitations. H. C. Jobnson, who bas represented the Pope Company here for the past two years, lett last night for Soringfieid, Muss., where he is to remain. Mr. Joh son made many friends here, all of whom wish him success in his new field. A Mr. Clark of Detroit is his successor in the San Francisco house. Itis now plain that the choice which risers will be called upon to make next vear will be between bicycles which, broadly speaking, may be divided into two classes—the ordinary wheel with ex- posed chain, now common, and the ma- ckines having housed gears of whatever character. Under the second class will come the beveled gears, the various “spur” gears, the “pawl and ratchet” movements and the wheels having in- closed chains, The demand on the part of riders has been for a driving mecLanism protecied irom dust and dampness. This will be supplied by each of the several styles mentioned, and the supporters of the va- rious covered gears confidently expect that gracually the type now prevailing will become obsolete. There is an apparent tendency on tre part of manutacturers io ravert to the use of smalier ballsin bearings next year. Brakes are also likely to bs more sought for by riders and more freely offered by makers, Next Saturday night the managers of the various baseball teams formed within the local cycling clubs will meet at the Cycle Board of Trade rooms, 562 Parrott building, at 8 o’clock, (0 elect a head and arrange a schedule of gantes, All cycle ciubs having ball teams which they wish to. enter this tournament are invited to send a representative.

WHY COURSING IS PATRONIZED Sportsmen who love to witness clean sporc are more than pleased with the manner in which the lngleside coursing meetings are now being conducted under the auspices of the Ingle:ide Coursing | Cinb. | Of course there are some alleged spor ts- | men who prefer to see the game run for the money that may be made from *‘job”’ racing, but gentlemen are politely informed by the managers of the Ingleside park that their presence el-e- where on racing days would be most ceptable, not only to the club, butfor tie betier interest of a pastime that hasgrown deservedly popular since the linterstate Coursing Club ook the management of affairs in ha It 1s only yery recently that a man of | seemingly great ideas, but of remarkably { poer judgment, attempted to pull the wool over tie eyes of the gentlemen who officiate at the Ingleside meetings and thereby rake in “an honest'’’ doliar on crooked” rsc'ng. He was trapped nicely at the game, politely shown the county road and admonished by the president of the club io never put his foot again inside the park grounds. ruled off for life. Coursing is bound to gain the confi- | dence, respect and support of | svorismen when the artrul dodgers who {potto ruin the game by trickery are taker care of in this manner. The result of giving first-class sport is manifest by the popularity the game en- joys at present, aud there can be no gain saying the fact that if ithe club will con nue to keep a sharp lookout for trick- , coursing will become as popular as borseracing on this coast. The Interstate Ciub has an excellent programme slated for to-da class dogs will meet in the slips, and as the shor:-tai! flyers from 1the famous plains ot Merced are m condition to give the long-tails a crueling from start to | escape, the sport should certainly be well worth a j urney to Ingleside. The result of the drawing which took place on Thursday evening appeared in yesterday’s CALL. Coursing men will be agreeably sur- prised to-day when they take in, at a glance, the improvemen:s that have bsen mzde in the vicinity of the grand stand. Immediately under the stand are raised seats w:uich run from the fence back to the bar and are so nicely arranged that every person, even those whoure enjoying awetat the bar, can see every turn ina race from the time the slipper liberates the dogs untii the kill is made. The grand stand has also been reno- vated and the ladies who enjoy comfort will appreciate the improvements which have been made looking toward pleasure. Next week the stand will re- ceive a new coat of paint. Itis sa:d that a part of the grounds be- tween the stand and the kennels on the southeast side will te fixed up in nice style for the accommodation of sportsmen who drive out from the city expecting to witness the racing while seated in their convevances. On Tuesday evening the Interstate Club will hold an important meeting at Pyth- these rangements for the grand annual inter- national meeting on the famous piains of Merced, which wili commence on Novem- ber 9, will doubtless be made. DUST FROM THE DIAMOND. Jo. Frank Eline, one of the managers o! the Baltimore and All-America baseball teams, on their tour to the coast, is ex- pected in thecity this evenine. Theother managers are Frank G. Selee, the present manager of the champion Boston Club, and William Barnie, the present manager of the Brooklyn Club. Barnie will be remembered by old-time lovers of the diamond as being the catcher of big Jim Whitney of the Knicker- bockers in 1578 and 1879, In those days Barnie caught the swiit delivery of Whit- ney, who afterward became a noted twirler with tue Boston Ciub, with no othsr protection than a rubber plate for uis teeth. His host of friends on the coast will be glad to welcome him back and to learn that the genial Billy looks as dupper and young as when he cavortea on the green diamond. For years after leav- manager of the Baltimore Club of the American Association, and the uniformiy high position of that team in the race was in a great measure due to Barnie’s excel- jent handling and placing of his men and his thorough knowiedge of the game. He was the manager of the Louisvilie Club in 1893 and 1894, and in 1895 cast his fortunes with the Scranton Club of the Eastern League. In 1896 he owned and managed the Hartford Club of the Atiantic Leagzue and scored a big success. This season he disposed of his Hartford Club and re- entered the league as manager of the representative club of his own city of Brooklyn. TUnder adverse circumstances tie did well, bringing his club inro sixth position, and will next season again pilot the Brookiyn team.

The Petaluma Argus says that deer are so plentiful in some parts of Mendocino County as to be a nuisance. At Potier | Valiey the deer come in the night and eat | out of vegetable gardens. A friend who recently passed through that country tells us that he saw two boys in camp who had | killed twenty-six deer and had “‘jerked’’ the meat to take home with them.
