Rumor has it that way, but from what I have heard on the subject I am fnclined to belfeve that it is one of those false rumors and that Charley’s days as 8 player are a thing of the past. His friends will not entertain the ldea that he contemplates such a move, and I have been asked at least two hundred times whether or not it was possible for a man who was the idol of baseballdom | about the year 1869 to re-enter the sport | in 1838 and be successful. The question | | really baffles me, as I do not recollect of ever hearing of a player returning to the game after an absence of nearly a half century. However, the National League has this year demonstrated that it is possible for players, after a few years' | absence, to return and gain new laurels, so it might be conjectured that Gagus, if age has not materially interfered with his speed and throwing propensities, could duplicate this feat of those Nation- al Leaguers. To see and talk with Gagus, one who is familiar with his past record as the king of second basemen and is also aware of the fact that he is at the present time in his dotage, cannot help but admire his youthful appearance and beautifully pro- portioned physique; also his determina- tlon to make clear the fact that people, especially ball-players, are as young only as they feel.

There was Gus Nixon, first base; John Calvert, catcher; John Walen, pitcher; Pete Mar- they, short stop; Wade, 'third base; John Dirkie, center field; Judge Hunt, left feld; “Parse” Miller, right field, and If second base. The grounds were at Twenty-fourth and Folsom, and 1 you there were good ball games in e days.” nfortunately T could not discuss these bygone days which were, I assure you, a source of great pleasure to Mr. Gagus, and was compelled to retire, not, how- ever, until I had thanked the gentleman for his information, which was Interest- ing. 1 still entertained the opinion that there were a few games left in the old veteran, and so considered it a wise plan to Interview a few of his intimate friends on the subject. After doing so I kicked myself on that part Jess capable of mak- ing a defense, as Goldsmith would say, for all those T interviewed were of the :me opinion, that if Gagus played ball again the sun would cease to glve heat but would continue with the light. v opinions are given for future ref- Judge Hunt—What, Charley Gagus go- ing to play ball again?

South Ends had a good lead at the turn, and say that they were rowing well with- in themselves. It is highly probable that they would have given the Alamedas a hard struggle. At the semi-monthly meeting of the South End Rowing Club last Tuesday five applications for membership were received, two being from men who have rowed in the East, and who should be good material for a junfor crew. It is proposed to get up a match race between the Alameda senior crew and the “‘Mid- PR TR RPN 4444 gets. J.

Y., s still the chief topic of conversation among lo- cal rifiemen. The interest is greater than usual because of the fact that the next festival, in 1901, is to be held in this city. It will be some time before any very act- | ive work 1s done in the line of preparing for this event, but the members of the local clubs will not remain idle. There are committees to form and a plan of action to lay out and change from time | to time as new conditions arise. The first | to be done is to organize the clubs. At the present time there are only vo clubs | members of the bund—the San Prancisco | Schuetzen Club and the €olumbia Pistol and Rifle Club. All of the other shooting organizations, about two dozen, in this | city and adfoining towns, will have to be- | come members and get in touch with the | spirit and history of the national body.

At the last monthly meeting S. J. Pem- broke was appointed a committee of one to ascertain whether there is any race for four-oared barges at the Astoria re- gatta on August 19, 20 and 22, and, if there is, to make arrangemeiits for the Alameda senior crew to enter it. Several of the Alamedas will be at the TDol- phin reception to-morrow. Three junior crews will begin work to-morrow, and, after they have had some practice to- gether there will be a try-out between them. One junior crew will consist of . 8. Cone, Ed Edwards, Bert Guild and C. G. Ayers, but their positions in the boat have not yet been settled. They are strong men, and should inike a good crew. The senior crew will keep together. T. M. Eckert and Edwin Thorning were elected members, and there are two more applications for memhgrship. The present quarters of the Olymplc Boat Club at Tiburon are owned by the Belvedere Land Company and are not en- tirely satisfactory. It Is proposed to form a stock company to put up a two-storied clubhouse, having on the lower floor a handball court. To carry out this plan a hundred members are nelces:‘aury. and the dues would have to be raised. At a special meeting of the Dolphin Boat Club on Wednesday evening it was decided to buy a barge built b& Twlfg and to procure seats and oars from the East. he is built on the lines of the South End Blister and the fasi Stockton barge. To-morrow will be ladles’ day at the Dolphin quarters, which have been newly painted and look very attractive. The committee which has the arrange- ments in charge consists of W. O. Patch, T. J. Kennedy, F. Woerner, E. P. Sulli- van and A. W. Pape. The officers are.as follows: Referee, A. Rothkopf; starter, A Treadwell; announcer, T. J. Sulli- van; marshal of course, E. P. Sullivan; judges. C. Roach, J. Laib and J. 8. Earls. The race for the A. P. Treadwell medal for junior skiffs will be rowed, the entries being E. P. Bartman, Victor Caglieri, T. J. Hopkins and C. M.

LOCAL "KENNEL MEN ARE STILL AT WAR Of course the local kennel fawcy Iis much wrought up over the meeting held at the Occidental Hotel on Wedneseday last, and its somewhat unexpected con- clusion. The chief topic of discussion is the strength developed by H. T. Payne, e, and the bullet from the Mauser ,rope that heid the yearling a who practically dominated the meeting | with his proxies. Payne’s hobby s se- cession, and he started in to ride ener- getically, but his wild career was brought | to a sudden close by a point of order raised by H. H. Carlton and sustained by the chairman, Dr. d'Evelyn. The members of the San Francisco Ken- nel Club, which was the body initiating the convention, are much disgruntled at the result. ' An interview with the secre- tary discloses the fact that the report of the vote to be sent to the American Ken- nel Club will be accompanied by a mi- nority report, now in course of drafting. There Is no earthly prospect of inducing the A. K. C. to revert to the old rules, but there is a possibility that the minor- ity report, signed as it will be by the rep- resentatives of the best element in Pacific Coast dogdom, will induce the A. K. C. to modify the ‘present rules so as to g our country shows a chance for life. Of course Payne is extremely jubilant over his success, but even thosé among his op- ponents who share his views and sympa- thize with his desire for an independent Pacific Coast League, claim that his re- cent action can but tend to defer their realization indefinitely, Kllsnrlt has had the misfortune ;rel(:g:es})y leath his famous old English Versatile Hugh Hume, newspaper ed- ftor, gentleman jockey, chicken-breeder and all-around good fellow, is about to enter the ranks of the doggily inclined.
