There are some men who seem- ingly take a delight in seeing a poor, un- fortunate pugilist hammered to death. Tt is the referee’s duty to stop a contest when he es that one of the contestants is helplessly striving without the least hope of success to win a vietory. By al- lowing.a contest to go on when {t becomes brutal the referee is morally responsible for the death of boxing, which is certain to come when a pugllist dles from the ef- fect of punishment received. Managers of boxing clubs should remember these things and insist on the boxers being in fit condition before they are allowed to enter a ring. The Alpine Club will give an entertain- ment on Monday evening at its gym- nasium on Golden Gate avenue. The pro- gramme is a good one. It includes an eight-round bout between Jack Granfield and Charlie Johnston and two six-round bouts between Jack Ennis and Jim Hig- gins and Jim O'Tool and Ed Toy. The president of the club. Gus Herget, writes the sporting editor that the floor of the ring will have two inches of boller felt padding and that the boxers engaged for DR R R R R R e g THREE DAYS OF =+ s SPORT : + WITH THE HOUNDS. 4 R R e RS Judging from the great Interest that sportsmen are taking in coursing and the rapldity with which the game is advanc- ing, it would not surprise leashmen to see four coursing parks established within easy distance of this city in a year hence. ‘ahe Union and Ingleside parks will in- augurate three days' coursing next week, commencing with Friday and ending with Sunday. At Ingleside there will be a sapling, a non-winner and an open stake run on the three days already stated. The entrance fee will be $2 50 for the first two stakes and $5 entrance for the open stake. The prizes to be coursed for will amount to $1000, and it goes without saying that the sport wiil prove to be very torrid. During the intermission at Ingleside Park on Sunday next a large number of dogs recently owned by E. V. Sullivan will be sold by auction. The kennel in- cludes such well-known dogs as False Flatterer, Royal and Flying Buck, Mira Monte, O'Grady, Sunbu Fear Not, Skyball, Flylng Faster, Fly Away, Pre- tender, War Cloud and several brood bitches. There are among the longtails six beautiful youngsters by Lawrence Bell—Skyrocket, which doubtless will go under the hammer, as will also Joker, Bona D, Cenqueror and Bit of Fashion. Possibly False Flatterer, the Bucks and a few of the well-known bread winners will not be sold. Mr. Bell, the well-known judge, who was engaged by E. V. Sulllvan under a five years’ lease to superintend his ken- nels at a salary of $125 per month and board, etc., will doubtiess remain on deck as a part. of the agreement entered into between Sulllvan and Bell, which stated that Mr. Bell w: to recelve 25 per cent of the coin received for the sale of all dogs belonging to the kennels. Now that Mr. Kenna is said to have purchased the property of Mr. Sulllvan for a good round sum, Judge Bell, according to his contract, would come in for a nice little hare of the money accruing from the recent sale. Among the kennels, which include greyhounds and bird dogs so- called, there are three or four champion English setters in Canada which Mr. Sul- livan purchased at a very high figure last year. All sportsmen who love to shoot are famillar with the names of Dash, An- tonio and Lock. They are now in Mani- toba, Canada, in chai of Mr. Bennett, who went East purposely to run them in the big fleld trial meetings, but the sud- den change In the Sullivan kennels may alter Mr. Bennett’'s pla and it is doubt- ful if the dogs will ever return to Cali- fornia. Arrangements have finally been con- cluded for the three great stakes to be run off at Union Park on Friday, Satur- day and Sunday, September 9, 10 and 11. + +4++4+ They embrace the Interstate Coursing Club in second Produce stake, winner guaranteed $250, runner up $125 and third dog to receive $75. A champion stake, limited to sixteen entries, entrance fee $10 each, will be one of the features and @ novel idea in coursing; a selling stake will also be decided. Entrance fee for the stake will be $2 50, and any dog en- tered may be claimed for $150, the prizes won by the dog to go to the purchasers. Time set for claiming of the dogs will be immediately before the second round and Immediately before and after the final race is run. Owners can protect themselves by bid- ding in their own dog. Fifty per cent of the amount realized in excess of the limit of $150, will be divided as follo Twen- ve per cent to go to the Union Park sociation and 2 per cent to be divided equally among the owners of dogs beaten by the dog sold. Bartel Bros. of Denver shipped on Au- ust 19, in charge of John Spencer, some figh ciass dogs to California.

Some time since a commission was sent to England to purchase some crackajacks able to beat For Freedom. -— AMONG THE LOC WILLOW-WIELDERS The fifth two days’ match of the sea- son between the representatives of the Alameda and Pacific cricket clubs will begin to-morrow at the Golden Gate ground. The Pacific team has been much strengthened by the return to San Fran- cisco of H. H. Cookson, formerly one of the mainstays of the Bohemian Club. It is now about a year since Mr. Cookson has been seen on a local cricket ground. During that time he has visited British Columbia, and feels sure that the San Francisco clubs could make up a team that would hold its own against any eleven on Vancouver Island or the maln- land. The cricketers there are anxious to measure their strength against the Californians, and next season arrange- ments may be made for a team to be sent up north. The Pacific eleven to-morrow will. be made up o 5 . Musson, captain; George Theobald, J. J. Theobald, Charles Taylor, J. H. Harbour, Fane Sewell, H. H. Cookson, T. W. G. Wallace, C. % Coles, J. H. McLean and H. P. G. Gor- on. The Alameda team will consist of R. B. Hogue, cnhlnln; J. J. Moriarity, G. L Baugh, 1. H. Spiro, J. J. R. Peel, J. H. Saunders, A. Price, F. C. Driffield, F. J. Croll, B. Bird and V. Seebeck. F. Stahl reserve. wn September 18 and 25 it is proposed to play a two days’ match between repre- sentatives of the cities of Alameda and San Francisco. The teams would be very fairly matched and the game should be quite interesting. Harold Richardson, a former member of the Pacific Cricket Club, is now in England, and has been playing in the Surrey County second eleven. In a re- cent match against Wiltshire he made upward of fifty runs. E. A. Mutch, for- merly of the Pacific eleven, {s now a member of the Los Angeles Cricket Club, as also is E. Cawston, formerly of the Bohemians. W. S. Robertson, for a long the occasion are in good condition. Big Joe Kennedy and Jack Stelzner have been matched by the Excelsior Club to box twenty rounds in Woodward's Pa- vilion on September 31 —_— C. F. Crocker’s Estate. Henry T. Scott and Charles E. Green, executors of the will of the late Charles F. Crocker, flled a petition yesterday for the partial distribution of the $8,000,000 estate of the deceased. The executors state that all the debts against the estate have been liquidated and in consequence no legal obstacle stands in the way of the property being distributed to ~the heirs at law, the three children of the de- time the strongest player in’ California, has fully sustained his reputation since his return to Australia. ———— Guilty of Contempt of Court. J. F. Turner was adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Judge Troutt yes- terday and sentenced to five days’ im- })rilonment in the County Jail. Turner ailed to conform with an order of court, directing him to submit to examination under oath concerning the estate of Al- fred Clarke in insolvency.

J. H. Hopps and H. Swanson were chosen as the committee on stake boats, and Sec- retary R. R. 'Hommedieu will look af- ter the printing and badges. J. H. Hopps and H. M. Landsberger were appointed time-keepers, W. Brooks referee, and Dr., C. L. Tisdale, Curtis Barker and G. S. Andres as judges. The annual regatta will be sailed on Admission day, and en- tries will be received up to 6 p. m. on September 5. Entries must be made on blanks supplied by the assoclation, and must be countersigned by the measurer of the club in which the yacht is en- rolled. Major Heuer of the United States engineer office has informed the secre- tary of the association that the submarine mines are now being taken up from the waters of the bay, and that there Is no danger to be apprehended to the south of a line drawn from Shag Rock to Point Cavallo. At the last meeting of the directors of the San Francisco Yacht Club the com- modore instructed the committee on “ways” to arrange for the removal of the club ‘“‘ways’” from Menotti’s yard, and for their erection on some suitable site. The hop in the club house set for Sep- tember 3 is to be consolidated with the dance to be given on the 25th, and a moonlight cruise to Petaluma draw- bridge substituted. As Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill intends to sail to the oyster- beds to-morrow, the club cruise will b in charge of Vice-Commodore G. S. ‘White. On September 8 Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill will sail to McNear's landing, and on the 9th up to Napa City, returning on the 10th to Vallejo, and on the 11th witnessing the Corinthian small yacht regatta off El Campo. The commodore hopes to be accompanied by Port Cap- tain Dr. A. W. McKegzie's launch Al- berta, the yawl Phyllis, and the sloops l“‘lll o' the Wisp, Twilight and Cather- ne. Last Saturday the launch Alberta, with an ample supply of provender, started for the oyster-beds, but spent the night in the soft mud near Bay Farm Island. On Sunday the party returned in disgust to the club house at Sausalito. Last Saturday A. D. Naylor and G. T. S. White started from Sausalito in the sloop Twilight, but got only as far as Tiburon cove. On Sunday they returned to Sausalito and took Measurer J. M. Punnett and some ladles out for a sail. Dr. Hill cruised in the sloop Cygnus to El Campo. The schooners Chispa and La Paloma were salling in the upper bay; the former came to anchor near the Pacific Yacht Clubhouse, and the latter made for Oakland Creek. The Corinthian cruise to Petaluma drawbridge last Sunday was very suc- cessful. _The sloops Truant, Ella, Pride, Aeolus, Edna, Amigo and Mignon got up to the bridge, while the sloops Thetis and Freda and the yawl Nereid came to anchor in the creek. The sloop Nixie started from Tiburon, but dropped her hook at McNear's. On the 1ith the Corinthians will hold a regatta open to all yachts on the bay not exceeding 24 feet on the load water line. The yachts will be divided into two classes—fi) yachts exceeding 10 feet, but not exceeding 24 feet; second, yachts not exceeding 10 feet. There will be no time allowances, and a single gun will be the starting signal. Yachts should reach Paradise cove on the forenoon of the 11th, and their captains must report on board Commodore C, Westerfeld's flagship Aeolus before 11:30 a. m., that they may be supplied with racing num- bers and receilve Instructions with re- gard to the course. Cups will be given as first prizes and flags as second prizes in each class. The regatta committee having the races in hand is composed of J. H. Hopps, P. J. Martensteln and W. F. Dixey. The Encinal Yacht Club ladles’ cruise to San Mateo, scheduled for Sunday and Monday, has been dropped. The schoon- er Flora, formerly owned by Dr. C. L. Tisdale, president, is now the property of the boat-keeper of the Encinals. About a week ago Dr. C. M. Pond and Miss Hall went out for a sail in her; she capsized, and all three had a narrow es- cape from drowning. The Californias, under the command of Vice-Commodore Edgar of the sloop Sap- pho, cruise to Martinez to-day, returning to-morrow. The yachts expected to_join the cruise are the Embla, Idler, Mist, Surf, Seafox, Regina, U & I, Bachelor, Gypsie, Hope, Verona and Royal. Thé launches Arlel, Augusta and El Casador may also take part. All the clubs except the San Francisco (which did not join the assoclation until after the season had begun) have the gth ‘“‘open” on their programmes. The South Bays will cruise to San Francisco to witness the association regatta. IR SWIMMERS WHO WILL CONTEST ON SUNDAY Aquatic sport is becoming quite popu- lar judging from the large attendance at the baths whenver swimming contests are held.

The sportsmen of the Tamalpais and Country clubs enjoyed a very successful season, and the number of deer seen were far In excess of former years, which proves that protection assists very mate- rlally to increase the deer family. It was Judge Conlan and not Judge Mogan, as stated in yesterday's Call, who taught the game butcher, J. F. Corraea, a well merited lesson by imposing upon him a fine of $100 for having wild duck, killed during the close season, in his pos- sesslon. Corraea’s attorney, it is said, will appeal the case, vut if the law speaks the truth the transgressor wiil save to himself time and money by . paying his fine and doing better in future. Judge Conlan will have the resnect and support of the sportsmen of this city and State for the action he has taken in punishing offenders of the game laws. Other Judges should emulate his example and put a stop to the rapid depletion of game by unprincipled market hunters by imposing a fine upon all offenders.. The California Fish Commissionshas scored another victory by landing the fourth fish dynamiter in a manner that he will not soon forget. For a long time a gang of Portuguese have been destroying fish of all kinds in the Russian River by exploding glant powder in the deep pools. Such of the finny tribe as they wanted they would take away, but there wer: a lot of small fry and other fish that they would leave floating on the water. So great was the quantity thus left that the stench of decaying fish could at times be noticed for miles along the stream. A deputy captured three of these de- stroyers recently and they were convict- ed, but the leader of the gang, Joe Payo, managed to escape and it was not uniil ‘& week or so ago that he was cap- tured. On Saturday he was taken before the Justice of the Peace in Ukiah and found gullty by & jury. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or in default thereof serve a term of 150 days in the County Jail. The total fines of the four have amounted to $1000 and it is believed that this will be a lesson to that class of fish destroyers. Ross & Hewlett, commission merchants, received yesterday from Charles Cooley, who is hunting and fishing at Point Arena, a beautiful splked buck that dressed 121 pounds. The hunter in a note to Mr. Ross states that grilse of from one pound to three pounds weight are now running into the Garcla River, and tnat local anglers are enjoying great spooning for them near the river's mouth. Johnny Coleman is expected back from the East In a few days, but before his re- turn he will drop off at Boca and with his friend, Fred Bushnell, he will whip the Truckee River good and hard and also pay his respects to White Rock Lake. 6r. Chalmers is looking forward to some_grand fishing and shooting on Sal- mon Bay in Oregon. The doctor will aiso try to locate some of the Oregon grouse and pheasants. Fish Commissioner Gould has been on the Truckee River for some days past. He will have all obstructions between Truckee and Pyramid Lake removed this vear, and in his efforts he will be assisted by the prominent officials and sportsmen of Nevada. Phil Wand and Phil Fay are enjoying great fishing and hunting at John Day’s resort in Mendocino County. but they have not as yet sent any venison steaks to their friends. ‘W.

The final shoot of the Golden Gate Club will take place to-morrow at Pacific Tournament Assoclation =rounds, com- mencing at 10 a. m. The club meeting will be held at 425-27 Market street on September 12 at 8 p. m. S L R R THE LINKS ARE DRAWING SOCIETY FOLK. 4444424440444 4444 Golf is the king sport among soclety folk at present, and it will not descend from its royal pedestal until the wet weather commences. The three centers of activity—San Rafael, Del Monte and Oakland—are seething with golf talk and the possibilities in the tournaments which will be held during the next week. The interest at Del Monte is on the in- crease. Every day the enthuslasts are rounding the links, and some very good work has been done by Instructor Rob- ertson in teaching the new golfstick- wielders the first rudiments of the game. At San Rafael a club will be organized this evening, in which one of the leading members will be Judge Willlam W. Mor- row. This organization will links in “anp‘y Valley,” where the play- ing goes on from morning until night. The Oakland club has arranged for a series of events to be played on Admis- sion day. This club is the most active of all the various bay organizations, and numbers among its members the very best players of the coast. The San Fran- cisco club, with links at the Presidio, has done little work on home grounds, as most of the members have been away for the summer. The links are in pretty bad shape, the result of the incessant drilling of the soldiers on their territory. The great days for golfers will be next Friday and Saturday, when tournaments will be held at San Rafael and Oakland. On the former links a tournament for gentlemen and ladies will take place, suitable prizes being awarded the win- ners, At Oakland there will be an open handicap. Some of the events will be ¥utllng, driving, mixed foresomes and oresomes for gentlemen. Last Saturday a team of Oaklanders played on the San Rafael links against the pick of that club. To-day the same team will go to Burlingame and meet the strength of that PPN T+ settlement. The visiting teams will com- rise the following: Messrs. Bowles, ferce, McNear, eaton, Fitzgerald, Greenwald and Mtller, The prominent golfers at the present time number a legion, some of the most noted of whom are: J. A. Folger, Mr. and Mrs. F.

R R R s Local wheelmen who are interested in the racing game expect a good day's sport at the annual meet of the Garden City Wheelmen at San Jose next Friday, in conjunction with the Native Sons’ cel- ebration. The entries for the races closed yesterday. There is a big fleld of start- ers, and as many of the cracks are en- tered and the track s in its old-time form, record breaking may be looked for. The handicaps will be announced by Han- dicapper Smyth in a few days. The Terminal City Wheelmen of Stock- ton have ré&ently elected the following officers: L. F. Salbach, president; A. Ruhl, vice-president; Fred Krumb, sec- retary; Carl Steinhart, treasurer; Otto Salbach, collector; E. Tremaine, captain; T. W. Hummel, trustee. The regular monthly meeting of the California Associated Cycling Clubs will be held this evening at 8 o’clock at the rooms of the Olmpic Club Wheelmen. The amendments presented at the meet- ings of June and July will be considered for final action. The members of the San Francisco Road Club held an enjoyable yacht ride last Sunday. The club has two good men entered in the San Jose races, Ralph Robinson and M. G. rrancis, and much is expected of them, particularly of Rob- Inson. George P. Wetmore has been seriously il for a week past, and had to be re- moved from his rogms at the Bay City Club to a hospital. “ His condition is se- rious, brain fever being the diagnosis of the doctors, and his many friends are much_concerned over his condition. A Agnew, the well-known racing man, was, elected captain of the Acme Club Wheelmen last Wednesday evening. The annual meeting of the Bay City ‘Wheelmen was held Thursday evening. The Teports of the various officers show- ed the club to be in splendid condition. A nominating committee, consisting of James A. Watters, E. N. Creigh, Gus Fleissner, E. T. Mervey, Henry L. Day, Joseph M. Nye Jr. and David McT. Mar- shall, was chosen to name the officers and directors for the ensuing year. They will meet for this purpose next Monday night at the club house. A great deal of interest in the joint ciub run between the Ol(mpic Club Wheelmen and Bay City Wheelmen is being manifested among the members of the two clubs, and it promises to be the largest affair of its kind held this sea- son.

The annual 20-mile road race of the Cal- ifornla Assoclated Cycling Clubs for the beautiful Baker & Hamilton trophy will be held Sunday, September 18. The event will probably be contested by the Acmes, Bay Citys, Olympics, uarden Citys and Imperials. e Olymn'~ Club Wheelmen will hold a five-mile road race over the San Leandro- Haywards course on Sunday, Septem- 44+ e+ 4 ber 11 . E. Wing will make an attempt against the ten-mile record over the Fruitvale-Haywards road to-morrow. With proper pacing the general opinion is that he will lower the existing mark of 24:27 by a considerable margin. E. J. Smith of the Acme Wheelmen has been restored to the amateur ranks by Chairman Welch of the racing board. Smith can now compete at San Jose and in the 20-mile. Chalrman Welch states that his com- mittee will take a firm stand against al- lowing local men to compete in the com- ing indoor tournament at the Pavilion if it is held under League of American ‘Wheelmen rules. The association will discuss this matter at its mecetinz to- night. Weile the prospect of seeing Michael, Bald and other cracks named by the promoters is very alluring, the impression seéms to be that the best of the men slated may not come, and if only the second-raters are brought out and no local men allowed to compete the ven- ture will prove a frost. H. W. SPALDING. DEATH OF THE WELL- KNOWN MASTIFF LOLA Mrs. J. P. Norman's mastiff bitch, Lola (A. K. C., S. B, 37,547), died on August 31, leaving six pups to bewail their par- ent. This magnificent animal was the winner of more prizes than any other specimen of the breed on the coast, and was repeatedly awarded the special for best brood bitch. The sympathy of all dog lovers will be extended to the sorrow- ing owner, who regrets the loss of a de- voted and vigilant friend. Ptomaine poi- soning was the cause of death, Misfortunes seem to dog the footsteps of the Belmont kennels, inasmuch as Chino Don (A. K. C., 8. B., 40,560). J. P. Norman's mastiff dog has also joined the great majority. ~Among many prizes ained by him, that for the leeslpstud og was the one he could safely reckon on. winning. Another sound mastiff bitch has passed away in M. D. Garrett’s Bess Il. Al- though not seen of late on the bench, she was formerly "quite conspicuous, and gained many prizes. . W. Neustadter has presented his mastiff dog Tiger to H. Boyd. Tiger, it will be remembered, is the dog that near- ly killed a Great Dane, twice as heavy as. himself, at Tahoe, to prevent the lat- ter from biting a little girl. Mr. Neu- stadter’s account of the incifent presents a vivid impression to the listener of the mastiff’s devotion to his young friend. George Allender has undertaken the training of two setters for the Derby, the prllwferty of Mr. Post of S8acramento, and will, next week, assume the charge for the same event of Robert Gardner's two Fred Butler inted .

D R e Now that the Oakland City Council has appropriated $80,000 for dredging Lake Merritt and improving its shores, the oarsmen of the bay can look forward to having smooth waters on which to hold regattas and championship races. On completion of the projected improvements it is hoped that a grand aquatic carnival may be glven next year on July 4 instead of the usual Independence day celebra- tion. Oarsmen will be invited to come from Stockton, Portland, Astoria, Van- couver and Victoria, B. C,. Dr. McDowell, the well-known sculler of Chicago, will re- ceive an invitation. A conference with regard to this project will be held be- tween the Pacific Association of the Ama- teur Athletic Unlon and citizens of Oak- land disposed to further the plan. The regatta committee would take charge of the aquatic events and would undertake to furnish races such as have never been seen on the waters of San Francisco Bay. The members of the Alameda Boating Club are much pleased at the success of the senior barge crew at the Astoria re- gatta, and will give the returned oarsmen a_reception at the clubhouse to-night. The committee in charge of the reception consists of E. M. Hunter (captain), C. W. Knowles, Charles Pesoli, C. G. Ayers and F. 8. Cone. Invitations have been issued to the San Francisco rewing clubs. The management of El Campo has made a proposition to the regatta committee of the Pacific Association for championship races to be rowed there. Though the offer is not entirely satisfactory, there is little doubt that a championship regatta will be held at El Campo early in October. By that time the summer winds will have ceased and smooth water may be ex- pected. The Ploneer Rowing Club will hold its regular monthly meecting to-morrow, and will elect several new members. C. Ochs will row in the championship races, and believes that he can beat A. W. Pape ory any other skiff man. Sullivan will lend his boat to Ochs for the races. The Pio- neers will have representatives in the junior and senior skiff races and in the Junior and intermediate barge events. The Dolphins rowed their new barge around from Twigg Bros.’ yard to their own boathouse on Sunday. She is strong- 1y bulilt, rows smoothly and easily and turns rapidly. She is fast, and, though somewhat cranky, an excellent boat in rough water. The intermediate crew goes out for practice on Tuesday and Thurs- day evenings and Sunday morning. It consists of Victor Caglleri, bo F. Schwarting, No. 2; W. O. Patch, No. 3; A, 'W. Pape, stroke; and E. Bartman, cocks- wain. The junior barge crew has been broken up by the death of T. J. Hopkins and the departure of E. J. Bartman, who is now working on the steamship Austra- lia. F. Woernner and C. M. Farrell are left, and two new men may be put in to flll up the crew. It is probable that A. W. Pape will not enter the championship skiff race at El Campo, but will practice ‘shell rowing. TR % eenan hag repaired Patch's sheil, and both he and ”}f have permission to use it for practice. Keenan will probably enter for the senior shell cham{)(onsh(p. A. Rothkopf has given to Pape the shell that Len Hausler formerly used. Hausler has not yet handed over the medal in his possession to the Dolphin Club, but steps will be taken for its recovery. It is pro- osed that a series of three races shall Ee held between Patch and Pape for the medal. The Dolphins will hold a ladies’ day on Sunday, October 30, and will give an’ entertainment in Native Sons’ Hall on November 2. Sunday was a busy day at the South End Rowing Club house. R. McArthur and G. Bates were out in skiffs; the latter will try for the junior skiff championship. The junior barge crew will be made up of C. Jenkims, bow; V. Koster, No. 3; W. Barry, stroke, and a fourth man not yet chosen. The Midgets will row in the senior barge championship, and feel sure that they can beat the Alamedas over the El_Campo course. They attribute their defeat at Astorfa to the fact that their stakeboat had drifted down two lengths and that on the way to the finishing line they had to contend against a strong cur- rent, while the Alamedas gained greatly on the turn and kept a good course in slack water. The Midgets think they will be handicapped by having to use an in- ferfor barge, but ‘expect to make up for that disadvantage by superior condition and better style. J. Foley will row in the senjor shells and C. C. Dennis will try to defeat Pape. J. Lyons and M. Breen will row in skiffs. Among the new members of the club are Victor Koster, F. Crook and John Willlams, who are all athletic men and enthusiastic about rowing. The Ariels have two crews in training. The Lynch crew is now made up thus: E. McDonough, bow; A. Haughton, No. 2; F. Lamonte, No. 3, and E. Lynch, stroke. The Turners’' crew consists of F. Loth, bow; W. Oeclisle, No. 2; W. Haustein, No. 3, and C. Haas, stroke. Both crews are working steadily and Stevenson, their coach, notes a decided improvement in their rowing. The Wilson crew, which defeated the Dolphins at the last Bl Campo regatta, has also begun to train. G. Steffens hav- ing met with an accldent, his place at No. 3 has been taken by James O'Connell. It will enter the intermediate barge race. . W. McCausland will give up Skiff row- ing and will devote his attention to shell. He will work to retain the shell cham- plonship which he now holds.

Members of Local Clubs Send Reso- lutions of Thanks to the As- toria Regatta Committee. The four San Francisco' Bay clubs which sent oarsmen to compete at the recent Astorla regatta were the Ala- medas, the Dolphins, the Pioneers and South Ends.

Other candidates .of . more or less experience are Hopper for.quarter, Thane, Wolf, and Smith, ‘who has just entered -from_ Hoitt's * School. . Captain Percy Hall, the bright.. glitteFing_ star of the last intercollegiate game; is devoting most of his time to the sifting of mate- rial and the plying of.d persuasive tongue to induce the football possibilities to come. out and try for the team. The team that Stanford: sent to vic- tory last year is disrupted.. The nonpa- refl center, Burnett, Carle ~and Fickert, has gone three separate ways, and there is no possibility of a corivergence at Palo Alto or any other place- this fall. Fick- ert, a post graduate, is disqualified on account of the four -years’ limit. Bur- nett is thinking of the insurgents at Ma- nila, and Carle is holding out -against the protestations of a worshipful student body. Rice and Thomas, ‘the tackles of '98, are not at college. There is some:ex- cellent substitutional ~material, but it will have to be formed into a team, which is a. task of considerable labor. Ballentine, Rusk, James, . Bigelow, Car- son and - Harrington are names that will possibly be seéen in the line-up of the Stanford eleven of '98. -The. fresh- man class has not been exploited yet, for Stanford does. not:reelly begin its fall seméster until the.middle of Septem- ber, some three weeks later than the Unlversity - of - Caifornia..

The entire matter, hinges on the question of. proportion 6f gate Te- ceipts. The Olympic Club will put a te; in the field if the college managers will agree to allow the club team the net recelpts of every- game played. The Olymplans contend that it will be impos- sible to put in a team otherwise. The expense is so great for them during the season that they must have all the re- turns of the atliletic club-college cor tests.

But the football material in the club are ambitipus, and they are talk- ing things over. There will be on the rolls Smith, Sexton, Hob Sheehy, Middle- mas, Code, Morse and a number of other heavy weights. The rub comes in the ‘search for lighter men for the ends and back of the line. 3 — OPIUM "LICENSE SUSTAINED. Collector Bonfi;{,Wins‘ His First Test Case Against Illegal Dealers in the Drug.
