SAN JOSE BENCH SHOW IS ‘WELL PATRONIZED. The San Jose Bench Show, which is the canine sensation of the week, is fully re- ported in another column.. The campaign of secession from the American Kennel Club, inaugurated by the Pacific Mastiff Club some weeks ago, seems to be lan- guishing. At any rate the proposed con- :ntion of rebel clubs has not yet mate- rialized. Possibly the adverse resolutions of the St. Bernard Club have to some ex- tent chilled the ardor of the advocates of independence. This much is admitted, that the San Francisco Kennel Club “is a housedivided | against itself,” even the directors being split ‘up into two camps. The secretary e Pacific Mastift Club has lost 2 most promising fox ter- rier puppy; Belmont Sims.

Last evening, several anglers who could not resist the temptation of a whip at some fayorite stream, returned from the country with baskets filled with small fishes, The unlucky ones said that the opening day of the trout-fishing season should be changed from April 1 to some other day. Anglers not acquainted with the fishing waters within easy reach of this city can find the information they desire by scanning over an article which appeared in the sporting department of last Saturday’s Call. Lovers of the sport who returned last evening from the country reported that the streams are low and clear and the fish very shy. The Paper-mill and Lagunitas Creeks were whipped quite a number of “‘opening-dayers, and although some very nice trout were caught, the majority of the whippers had creels which con- tained fingerlings, averaging five and six inches in length. J. Moran caught four trout near the headwaters of Lagunitas, the smallest of which weighed half a pound and the largest 3l pounds. The gentleman had also several nice pan fish in his basket. He stated that he had seen quite a number of large fish, which darted into deep water the instant they saw danger near. Had it not been for a cold and blustering wind, fishing in the vicin- ity of Libertys would have been good yesterday. The most favorable reports were re- ol ceived from anglers who fished Boulder Creek, Los Gatos Creek and the kesca- dero lagoon. The following letter from Cloverdale which was received last Mon- day speaks for itself: Replying to your telegram regarding fishing in this vicintly, will state I am informed of its being good. All tributaries to Big Sulphur are said to be first class. The water is about high enough and clear. If we don't get any more rain before the of April to raise and rile the water there will be good sport. The higher up into the mountains the better the fishing. Yours respectfully, F. S. FIELD. A dispatch received last evening from Cloverdale said that excellent catches were made yesterday between Cloverdale and the Geysers. ‘Whippers will be out to-day and to- morrow in strong force and as the creeks are low and clear it is thought that large numbers of baby trout will be creeled by those who take a pleasure in_ playing hog. Trout under four inches should be returned to the stream, dead or alive. Oakland Creek for Sausalito in the yawl | Lupita, of the Callfornia Yacht- -Club. e wind falling, the tide carried them | lgh!

At both Ingleside and Union Parks to-day the stakes are exceptionally large, and as high-class greyhounds are entered first-class sport should result. At Union Park the leashmen should witness close and exciting courses, as several new dogs, which are not generally known to the coursing fraternity, will make their inaugural appearance on the sward. The managers of the park have weeded out a large number of hares that had a sickly appearance, and as a consequence long and grueling courses should result to-day and to-morrow. The Call tipped fourteen winners out of fifteen courses in last Sunday’s run down of the stake. The probable winners at Union Park to- day are: Patria, Forget, Lissak, False Flatterer, Flying Buck, Eclipse, Master Jack, Jester, Mountain Lassie, Monotony, Pat Malloy, Magic, Electric, Theron, Fear Not, Alameda, Move On, Little Pete, Harkaway, Arapahoe, Lord Byron, Santa | ‘Alecia, Rosette, Promise Me, Moore's Prescription, Myrtle, Royal Buck, Rusty Gold, Spring, Camilla, Kilkenny Girl and Mercy May Two events will be run off at Ingleside, a stake for the top notchers and a puppy contest. The candidates for both are of the highest class, embracing stake win- ners of the past and many that have only missed a winning bracket by a turn of the hare or some like trivial chance. Torrid sport, in consequence, promises to be forthcoming from the start. The running begins to-day at 1 p. m., and to-morrow :Ltl 11 a. m., with the puppies first in the slips. ‘When the purses have been distributed at Ingleside to-morrow night the Ingle- side management will have disbursed con- siderably over 38500 In prize money alone since the first of the year. Were poor Mike Kelly still alive he might alter his once popular song to “Papa won't you buy me a greyhound?” Tim Cronin has two new arrivals in his kennel. One is a Skyball puppy and the other a puppy by Jack Dempsey-Wee (l;a ssie that arrived from Merced yester- ay. Connell Bros." puppy, Log Boy, should make a good showing at Ingleside to-day. In his own class he already has a winning bracket to his-credit, while among the LA R R R R R R R EE R E R R N COLLEGE MEN ouT FOR RECORDS. * KKK KRR * * * * * * * * KKK KKK LR KKK R R R R LXK One week from to-day the first inter- collegiate baseball game will be played. Then for a month every Saturday will find the town a-flutter with the red of | Stanford and the blue and gold of Califor- nia. The struggles on the diamond are dated for April 9, 16 and 30; the field day is set for April 23. Following the precedent set in former years the two colleges are at present en- gaged in a furnace-like altercation over the locality and the time for the bicycle race. The Olympic track is totally un- suited for cycling races, and it is almost | destructive to life to attempt to run a | fast race on it. California has conceded to Stanford the right of selection of either the place or time, but Stanford will not | be placated by any such concession. It was almost tacitly understood that the race was to be run at San Jose. This is Stanford’s choice, but a ‘“rider” was attached to it, that the race must be scheduled for the day preceding the inter- collegiate meet. California positively re- fusés to comply with this second demand, and there the matter rests. It will bei remembered that at the last moment u year ago complications arose which were | almost instrumental in preventing the | field day. This afternoon at Berkeley the annual | championship games will draw a large crowd of spectators, for the athletic flower of the university will compete. It is thought that many records will be anni- hilated. Drum will try for a new record in the 220-yard run. He has covered that distance in 23 seconds on a curved track, attempt to improve on that performance. Ray Carroll will try for a new record in the mile run. Should the record be broken the medal which John Elliott of- fered some years ago will be worn for the first time. Walsh, the mile walker, is also out for record honors. Guiberson, the weight man, is another looking for the laurels of transcendent success and his special effort will be con‘ined to toss- ing the shot over forty feet. The list of entries for the championship field day are as follow: | 6-4, 4-6, 7 | Carrigan 6 Bride, first base; McLaren, sec- ©; McCabe, short stop; Baer, third base; Cheeseborough, left field; Hogg, center field, and Collins, right field. After the field day on the Berkeley cin- der path a ball game, will be played be- tween the university nine and the alumni. They will line up as follows: California. Positions. Alumni. Mien . 3 Elston Kaarsberg . Krug ride. Allen McLaren Mertes Baer. IcKee McCabe. Short stop. . Wheeler Cheeseborough..Left field. Dunleavy Hoag. Center field Collins. Right field RACKET WIELDERS ON THE COURTS. .Bliss The try-out tournament of the Univer- sity of California tennis men will be played this afternoon on Oakland courts. The winners in this competition will' be selected to meet Stanford in the annual games. Sumner Hardy has a tight hold on first place, but there will be a hard rub for the selection of the other blue and gold representative. There is a movement in tennis circles to have tournaments, singles and doubles, in the bay cities every two weeks. If the plan can be effected the first tourna- ment will be held at San Jose, on the Hotel Vendome courts, about the end of the month. After that the tournament promoters have picked San Rafael for the scene of their activities. It looks as if a number of Easterners would be brought out this autumn. After | the Newport tournament, in which the champions of the country compete, no | tennis of any importance holds these players in the East. Two years ago an attempt was made to bring out Wrenn, Hovey and Larned, but the bottom dropped out of it at the last moment. This year there will be a more system- atic trial to have the champions of the United States visit this coast. If the plan proves feasible the stellar wonders of the tennis firmament will be out here | in September, the time of the Pacific Coast championship doubles’ tournament. At the California Club courts the week has been a quiet one. The Whitneys have rested after their struggle on the Placer county courts. Some of the matches played during the week are worthy of mention. J. A. Code beat Dr. Root 6-4, 6- 6-3. Alice Hoffman beat Jack » 6-2. Miss Bowman defeated One hundred yard dash—C.

As stated in g;esterday's Call the wood- ave been cutting timber near Lagunitas Creek for some months choppers who past have ruined the fishing of that beau- | tiful stream to a great extent by plac- ing dynamite cartridges in the deep pools. A Deputy Fish Commissioner has been {on the lookout for the vandals, but his efforts to make a capture have proved fatile. Last. Tuesday fifty dead fish, | ranging in size from three inches to six. | teen inches, were taken from a pool about | one mile above the point where the Las | zunitas meets the Paper Mill Creek. | It is said that the Spring Valley Com- | pany will open San Aj lers in May.

Some nice old dogs a few weeks ago he pulled down third money, even over such clever per- formers as Magnet, Glenroy, Bendalon, Van Cloie, Old Glory and divers others. The hares at Ingleside have been given considerable attention this week. It has been the aim of Superintendent Reilly to Wweed out the weaker jacks, and in so far as was possible this has been accom- plished. Dave Hooper’s Koolawn s making an- other bid for the money at Ingleside this week. Koolawn has been pulling down third and fourth moneys with considera- ble regularity of late, and Dave says he will keep her at it until she lands at the head of the class, if it takes him all summer. The likeliest winners at Ingleside this afternoon appear to be as follows: All- age stake—Princess Marle, Moondyne, Koolawn, Coralle, Firenzi, Glenroy, Right Bower, Handball, Connemara, Mystic Maid, Old Glory, Tessle Fair, Johnny R, Hercules, Senorita, Nelly Conroy, Nelly B, Bendalong, Van Knapp, Flashlight. Puppy _stake—Killarney Lass, Star Pointer, Bonita, Sunburst, White Wings, Palmer Hill, Moonli{(h! Chippy, Log Boy. Three or four new Kennels will be repre- sented at Ingleside to-day. Among them will be that of M. Nealon, who purcnased Van Knapp and Van Cloie at the Van Hummel sale; also that of Brown & Luther, who bought Van Nida at the same time. Dave Winders of Stockton is another who makes the first essay at coursing to- day. Dave has always been strong on setters and pointers, and will now take up greyhounds somewhat extensively.

As is well known, these two-organizations thrive under one rqof, the Olympic Club, * KR % * XN KX XX | vet there is a great deal of animosity be- | tween the two factions. The- Olympic | Wheelmen are acknowledged champions | on the road and track, but when it comes | to baseball—well, the Olympic Cyclers think they can teach them a thing or two. In the Cycle Clubs’. League the Olymplo | Cyclers have yet to meet defeat, while the Olympic Wheelmen have lost one game and have a tle yet to play off. The game between thiemn to-morrow will | take place at the Sixteenth and Folsom | streets grourids at'2 o'clock.. Large del- egations of rooters will be on hand for | each faction, and’ a warm time is prom- ised. T Other games of the League to-morrow are California vs. Encinals at the Velo- drome. The Acme and Garden City Clubs were scheduled, :but the former cluh has dropped out f the tournament. Last Sunday a well-known .local ‘club- man towed a triplet of girls, who had broken the chain of their machihe, & dis- tance of several miles to their destina- tion. We see no reason why the rider should not claim reasonable salvage.

SR - The Reliance. Club Wheelmén’s baseball nine denies that they. showed the white _t"ealhgr in dropping out. of 'the Cycle Clubs’ Baseball League. They say they entered the tournament with the under- standing that only amateurs would be permitted to -pla but soon found that professionals were being substituted in many of the teams. When they attempted to do likewise a general howl was raised. and they were told -that any games won would be protested, making it useless for the Reliance, nine to participate further, These were the only reasons the nine ‘hadtfor withdrawing from the tourna- ment. 2 | .

The crack baseball players of Stanford University will cross bats to-day with the nine which will represent the Umi- versity of Nevada. The following letter from The Call's correspondent contains the latest athletic news: STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 1. There has been little done on the track or the fleld this week. Many of the athletes are away taking advantage of the week allowed by the college for recuperation. Most of those who have remained at the university have been doing light work or laying off altogether. Cap- tain Jack Brunton I8 expected before the 5th. With him in the sprints Stanford's dash men will be far from a weak aggregation. On the diamond there has been daily prac- tice. Coach Jack Sheehan has been doing effi- cient work with the team. A lack of ginger and a weakness with the stick are the faults which he has been most desirous of overcom- ing. The varsity left on the 9:30 train to-day on its way to Reno, where it will cross bats with the University of Nevada nine on Saturday. As soon as the game is over the team will gather up its bats and return home, arriving on_the campus Sunday. Considerable Interest has been manifested over the selection of the team for this trip, for it is conceded that the menchosentogo against the Reno boys would in all events make up the nine that Stanford will put in the feld in the first intercollegiate match, which takes place on the §th of April. The players and their po- sitions for the Reno game are as follows d. Position. Unlv. of .Everett Klauber Lougheed Swindells . Wight Murphy or Brule HANDBALL PLAYED v IN TWO COURTS.

Health—A Business ° Woman's Telling Words. From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich.
