SPALDING. THE CRICKET SEASON CLOSES. Last Sunday, at Loomis, the last cricket match of the season in California was played, the competing teams being Ne- vada County and the ‘“A’’ team of Placer County.

The new Australian team includes only three of the players who visited this city last year, though it is said to be a crackerjack. It is made up as follows: Walter Giffen, Lyons, Darling, Jones, Clement, Hill, Reedman, Jarvis, Green, Evans, McKen zie, and a man to replace George Giffen, who has retired at the last moment. Posthwaite and Falcon of the San Jose team have left for South Aifrica. In face of the recent death of W. S. Mayo, this retirement has reduced the strengtii of the Garden City team very materially.

He opened fire immediately on the featiered invaders and not a bird moved during the cannonade. Twenty shots were fired and Johuson poled his double- ender into the pond and commenced to pick up the dead and wounded. He man- aged to get eight fine ‘‘cans”’—the others either took safety in flight or dove out of sight of the hunter. Johnson in relating his experience said he would have kept on shooting, but not seeing any of thought he had Svengalied the entire flock. He was fined by Secretary Mark- land for having used such exceedingly poor judgment. Dave Thom stopped the erratic flight of about half a dozen English snipe last Sun- day near Suwisun. General Cooper reports having had_a tolerably fair shoot in the same locality, considering that the birds were wild and comparatively scarce. Quail shooting should be now in its prime. Sufficient rain has fallen to drive the birds irom the heavy underbrush to the hillsides, where the cover i8 thin. Last Sunday the quail-shooters who visited Point Reyes enjoyed good sport, notwithstanding that a cold- north wind | made the birds seek the heavy under- brush. Charles Sprecht bad a splendid shoot, and bagged forty birds. F. Vernon and Dentist Payne bagged twenty-five ducks and eighteen quail on Saturday and Sun- day.

Quail-shooting should be first-class to-day. YACHTING AND ROWING. To-morrow afternoon there will be a yacht race of the small boats of the Pa- cific Yacht Club off the clubhouse. Five boats will contest. A business meeting of the San Francisco Yachting Club will be held to-morrow evening at the clubhouse. The vacht Queen is for sale, as Frank Bartlett, one of the owners of the boat, is thinking about going to the Klondike. Tue directors oi the Ariel Rowing Club bave sent invitaiions to the other ciubs inviting them to participate in Thanks- giving aay festivities. There wiil be sey- eral imprompru events. ' The principal atiraction will be a skiff race for novices which will be for a medal. Theare will be two heats—H. A. Pless and J. R. Bock- mean and N. J. Prendergast and Charles McAuliffe. The Ariels have recently clected twenty-two candidates to member- ship. The boats of the ciub are in the ve- pair-shop, but all repairs on them will be completed before Thanksgiving. J. R. Bockman and other members of the Ariels have filed articles of incorpor- ation for a new enterprise—a floating boathouse. It will be on the plan of an ark, only much larger. It will contain aparuments jor boats and quarters for the accommodation of its members. It will take several thousand dollars to build the affair, and when done it will be the first floating boaihouse ever built on this coast. Ttwill be runas an annex to the Ariel Club. The South Ends are still working on their handball court. the birds take to wing, he | folks “The Icicle.” Itis the nsual cus- tom of jockeys in their dressing-room to cut up all sorts of pranks and make all the hideous noise possible without the use of oilcans and aynamite, .

Jockey Tommy Batler is trying for rein- | statement. He has been in the employ- ment of J. Naglee Burk for the past eight months, and as his offense was not a seri- ous one it looks though he should be given another chance, Starter Caldwell is in favor of the recall flag, the public want it and so do the bookmakers. If the Ingleside manage- ment persist 1n refusing to accede to the general demand the track near the ocean will soon be suffering from a Jack of pat- tronage. It is not always the starter's fault, but when heavily played horses are left at the post, or nearly so, even the careless bettor will eventually grow tired and transfer his affections to some other game, C. Roland, one of the owners of Lera, secured the mare for a mere song. At the end of last racing season Frank Farrar found himself indebted to Roland. who was then cooking, to the amount of $65. He gave the cook Lena for the amount owed and wished him success in his new undertaking. Lena went to Montana, feasted on a diet or smelter smoke and won five straight races. Farrar is now wondering why he didn’t pay that bili with cash. F. E. MULHOLLAND. BASKET-BALL IS ROLLING ON. The mysterious basket-ball team of Oak- jand called the Incognitos came across the bay last Thursday evening to have a friendly match with the Rushers of this city. In the first haif the Frisco people seemed to enjoy tha game immensely, as Fred Shaw scored five points for the Rushers on wonders of throws, while the Incog- nitos could show but two yoints on their credit side. But things changed. Lausten and Boek of the Oakland team got hold of the ball in some of the liveliest rallies ever witnessed in basket-ball and dropped it five times in succession into their tasket, which brought the total of the Oakland team up to 12 to 11 of the Rush- The victory belonged to the Incog- ers. nitos. The players were as follow: | Ilnco2nitos—O. Huxter, H. Lausten, E. C. Brown, Frank Boek and S. Phelan. Rusuer-—Fred L. Shaw, H. Guittarq, C. Johnson, W. Mitcheil and D. Hanrahan. Thbe officers of the game were: R. Hor- SOUFFLE, TRIPLE OAKS WINNER, Among other races, victor in the Latonia Oaks, Cincinnati Oaks, Kentucky Osaks, Hunter handicap, Jerome handicap and Fulton Lake. newcomers from the other side of the Rockies have arrived here with tales of turfmen standing in lines in front of the ticket-offices in the different cities, scram- bling for tickets to the Golden West. But it is a long way out here, and the fare looks very large as the time ap- proaches 10 leave. New:Orleans apypears much closer, and, as in past seasons, no doubt many bave chanced ‘‘yellow jack,” and will race at New Orleans. A well- known bcokmaker remarked the other evening, “Ahout all the horses are here that are comine.” If this is a fact Cali- fornia owners will have an inning. But, excepting one or two stabies, the Cali- fornia horses are a sickly, sorry, dilapi- dated-looking lot. J. W. Murphy, owner of Buck Massie, Souffle and George Rose, says he is much pieased with California and the people here. Mr. Murphy is considered a very shrewd turiman, and no doubt will make the season a profitable one. “There will be a whole lot of people hunting their holes when Souffle strikes that paddock,’’ said the young man who has charge of the big dauchter of Rayon d’0r, who lacks but a quarter of an inch of being seventeen hands high. It seems the mare has no love for strange people or strange horses and will even take a shy at a water-bucket if the occasion offers. In the stall, though, she is as playful as a kitten and the picture of innocence—with her groom. An Eastern newspaper scribe says “Father Bill’’ Daly has another coming jockey on his staff. His name is O’Connor. He canride at 68 pounds and still longer than Isaac Murphy could. At Brooklyn he got upon a jumper and went over the full steeplechase course, nearly causing Mike Dwyer and some of the other officials to experience an attack of heart failure. In a body they warned ‘‘Father Bill” to have the lad cease that sort of reckliessness. Bookmaker Barney Schreiber says Jittle Johnny Woods is the quietest boy he ever had anything to do witu. 1n the East he was dubbea by some of the newspaper ner, re;lgree; George Kearman, umpire; Louis Ti:us, scorer, and Frank Goodrich timer. HANDBALL IN THE COURTS. The San Francisco handball court patrons will witness to-morrow handball games among the following players: D. Rodgers and P. Ryan vs. G. McDonald and M.

The San Francisco Press Club held an in- formal “smoker” at the clubrooms Thursday night, the occasion being the regular quarterly meeting of the club. After the business was disposed of there was an en joyable programme in which members took part, the most notable numbers being rendered by Rhys Thomas, S. Homer Henlefi Willard J. Batchelder and Sam Tucker. Wallace A. Sabin, the brilifant accompanist, presided at the pianc. The usuai Joy!ul scenes were continued until a late hour. Arrangements for the annual entertainment of the club, to take place in about four weeks, are nearly complete, and the programme of lhelfnnumu jinks is already under consid- eration, ——————— Plumber McKenna Insolvent.

The next fight of importance will be held under the auspices of the National Club next Weinesday evening. George Green and Owen Zeigler will meet in a twenty-round contest, and “Scaldy Bill” Quinn and Frank Purcell are booked to smash each other for ten rounds. Green is training hard at Hageerty’s Frank Purcell. quarters near the Cliff House, and his friends hope to see him retrieve his late loss by giving Zeiglera good whipping. George says he never felt better in his life, and that his training is principally cycling and bag-punching. Foster, his trainer, does not hesitate to say that Green will whip Zeigler easily this time, “You see, George knows Zeigler's style of fighting now,” said Foster, *‘and he will take advantage of openings he failed to detect when they last fought.” There are, however, a larce number of local sports who opine that Zesigler should have had a Jecision over Green, but on ac- count of Green being a Californian they contend that the referee favored him. It would not surprise many of the spec- tators to <ee aknockout on Wednesday evening. Zeigler is training at San Rafael and from latest accounts he is getting along very nicely in that balmy climate. Owen is fond of hunting and daily he returns from a tramp over the hills with quail and squirrel. Purcell will have a warm time getting away from Scaldy Bill Quinn. The latter is close up to Walcott as a star performer and if he is in anything like good form he should certainly surprise the erratic Pur- cell. Joe Choynski is expected to arrive this evening from Chicago. Joe is matched to fight Jeffries on the evening of the 15th, hut as the coatest is very close to the Zeigler and Green bout, the National Ciub will ask for a postponement. Biily De- laney, the manager of Jefiries, is strongly opposed to any further postponements, and there may be some difficulty in secur- ing the Oaklander's consent to a change of dates. However, Delaney, Graney, Choynski and the club managers will set- tle that question on Joe’s arrival. Sammy Kelly of New York was matched yesterday' to fight Solly Smfth twenty rounds before the Knickerbocker Club of this city. The contest wiil take place some time in December. The pugilists will do battle at 118 pounds. Kelly is a rushing fighter and his manager, Al Smith, the bookmaker, says that the New Yorker will give Smith a hot argument for the long end of the purse. ED HEAD AND THE NIGHT OWL, School Director Head is passionately fond of angling, and whenever an oppor- tunity offers he hies himself to the coun- try, or, at least, to that part of it where trout streams abourd. Recent!y Mr. Head accepted an invita- tion for a day’s outing from Messrs, Morehouse and Jones, the proprietors of “Black Bass Castie,”” which is a comfort- able dwelling on the banks of Russian River, and situated within a stone’s throw of Russian River station. The Russian River is nowa popular resort for anglers after the small-mouthed black bass, and Mr. Head longed for an opportunity to wet a line and be *in the swim.” It appears that the Schoo! i Director had neglected to inform the conductor of the north-bound train that he desired to get off at Russian River station, and he slept peacefully untii the train was nearing Duncan’s Mills, ‘‘Let me off! let me off!"” yelled Head as he jumped from his seat and graspea his rods and basket. The train slowed up and Mr. Head | alighted and staried back for Russian River station, bearing his fishing para- hernalia and a small "locomotive head- ight bound to him by one of the train- hands, *‘Oh, but what a tramp that was,”’ said Mr. Head, when relating his fearful ex- perience of a night in the jungle. *I heard all kinds of noises, and my poor little dog ‘Scratcher,” having been scared by a panther, I guess, or some | other wild animal, that was out for blood, | rarn between my legs and howled for dear life. “I had to take him under one arm while under the other was my headlignt. My pistol I held between my teeth, you know, so that in case of sudden attack I could drop the dog and shoot quickly. “‘Well, I thought I would never zet to the end of that two country miles of tramping, but I finally reached ‘the cas- tle’ and what a hearty welcome I received from my friends, “Now,I am not afraid of lions,or grizzlv bears, not in the least bit, but don’t vou know there was an old owl :omewhere up in the trees that scared me almost to death. “I have heard ghost yarnsin my life, but not until that owl commenced taiking owl-like to me did I ever realize what a ghost in the dark must be. ‘It was the first owl I have ever heard cbanting, and at the time I could not make out what that ‘you, you, you,’ meant, I had good fishing next day, but not on your hife would I take another such tramp as the one I experienced in the owl country.” LIVELY TIMES ON THE DIAMOND. Great interest prevails in baseball circle: This afternoon Baltimore and All-America will arrive in town, and to-morrow afternoon these great National League players will cross bats at Recrea- tion Park, Eighth and Harricon streets. The event of the week was the with- drawal of the Fresno team from the yel- low journal tournament at Central Park. The retusal of this great club to play at Central Park any longer practically kills the tournament. The games at Central Park lately have been poorly patronized and it is doubtful if any of the clubs wili play at the grounds much longer. The public is now apprised of the fact that the games, under the guise of charity, haya been conducted for greed. There will be some fine ball playing in the interior to-morrow. Reliance will play Stockton at Stockton, the Olympic Gilt Edges at Sacramento and there will be a game at Fresno. A big party of Oaklanders will go up to Stockton this evening. The excursionists will number several hundred. This afternoon teams from the freight “Scaldy ” Bill Quinn. department ot the Southern Pacific will play at Sixteenth and Folsom streets. | To-morrow afternoon at the same grounds the Altos and Monarchs play. The latter won the commercial league cup under the name of Hale Brothers, The game will be for a purse of $50. e VOLLEY-BALL WELL PLAYED. Greater interest has never been taken in volley-batl and basket-ball than there is manifested in these gamas at the present time. Dr. Dietz of the Y. M. C. A. Gym- nasium has been obliged to put up special rules for the use of the floor on Ellis and Mason streets. Two close games of yolley- ball were piayed last Tuesday evening be- tween a picked team from the Central Association and a team from the German Branch. Both games were won by the Germans, with scores of 30 to 25 and 43 to 37. The teams were composed of the follow- ing players: Central—L. C. Chaponot Daye Grant, C. Jobnson and W. Lamont. German—Henry Toryes, J. F. vitzky. F?nk Schater and R. Horner, > be officers were: J. W. Key, referce: W. Birchall, lineman; John ' Gorsen’ scorer. 2 POLYTECHNIC _FIELD DAY.

DR, MILES MEDICAL C0., Eikhart, Ind. THODSANDS FOR NNING DOGS Greyhounds to Compete for * Gold and Glory on the Plains. The Most Notable Coursing Event Ever Run in America, Hundreds of Hounds in Training for the Great Meeting at Merced. The interest of all leashmen—local, coastwise and beyond the mountains—is now centered solidly in the approaching meeting on the plains at Merced. For this year's event the !mersgnta Coursing Club has hung up cash prizes aggregating close to $2500. No such in- ducemens were ever before held out on any coursing sward in America, nor, in consequence, was there ever such an entry. The nominations number no less than eighty-three, of which San Francisco has taken forty-three. The others came irom the surroundiug counties, from the Mid- dle West and from New York. Mores over, the nominations taken in San Fran- cisco do not signify San Francisco dogs by any means. During the past two months there have come to the city scores of dogs from England, from Ireland and from the East. Several of them, notably two famous English hounds, will be in the running at Ingleside to-day, but many of them will remain under cover until the meeting opens, November 9. As to what performers wi!l be named by the Eastern nominators of course little is known, but all sorts of rumors are Denver, St. Louis and Brooklyn, . are credited with fliers that can outrun their own shadows, and prior to the declaration and draw, which will take place at Pythian flall this even- ing, they will probably gain added speed. Again it is not by any means an open secret as to what local and coast fl will go to the slins. Every man holding a single nomination is training at least three candidates, and the larger keunels have many more. The ‘*iucky dog” to pull through to the end will likewise pull down the California cup, the laurels and about $9.0 in coin of the realm. The meeting is under the sole manage- ment and control of the Interstate Cours- ing Club, d thc club has publicly an- nounced thatit will be the most notable and brilliant event ever run in America. Special trains will be run on bota rail- roads and hotel accommodations at Mer- ced have been arranged for by the club sufficient to accommodate the added crowds that will this year be present. The running opens November 9, and owing to the big entry this year will con- tinue through four da; The racing at Ingieside to-day and to- morrow gives promise of being first class, as the hares are strong and the turf in splendid condition for racing. The draw- ing appeared in yesterday’s Carr. The Intersiate Club will hold its annual ban- quet this evening. } Ned Grez{way Entertains Friends. Ned Greenway entertained a number of his friends on Wednesday evening. The party met at the Baldwin Theater, where they enjoyed ‘‘Lost, Strayed or Stolen,” and were afterward driven to the Bohe- mian Club, where an elaborate supper awaited them. The Red Room was prettily decorated for the occasion with smilax and vellow and red chrysanthemums, potted plants and cut flowers. During the evening Huber’s Orchesira rendered several pleas- ing selections. The names cards were designed anda exe- cuted by Solly Waliers and represented different types of girlhood.
