To-morrow a two days’ cricket match between representatives of the cities of Alameda and San Franclsco will begin on the Alameda ground. The Ala- | meda team will be made up thus: H.| Ward (captain), G. L Baugh, I. H. Spiro, | J. H. Saunders, J. J, R. Peel, F. J. Croll, | V. Seebeck, C. P. Coles, T. W. G. Wal- | lace, J. H.

S Drifield, J. 3" Moriarity, €, Saylor, J. | ors, F. Sewell and H. H. Cookson.’As | y begins at 11:3, the members of the Francisco team should leave by the 15 boat. | Besldes the match just mentioned, which will take up two Sundays, there is the Alphabetical game suggested by Cecil Gary in which cricketers from all | State would be invited to | n; and there is also the Married vs. Single match, which was set down on the. echedule for May 22, at Alameda, but was | layed. Then a_team will probably n Francisco from Placer County, and will play two or three matches here. he Citrus Colony men always entertain their visitors so royally that our San Francisco cricketers hope to have an op- portunity of making some slight return for the hospitality they have recefved. SOME ECHOES FROM THE GOLF LINKS The popularity of golf is now a known | quantity and every day some new addi- | tion is made to the ranks of the Scotch | game. During the week the links at Del | Monte, San Rafael, Burlingame, Pied- | mont and other outside grounds were well patronized and some interesting matches played. The tournament on the Oakland and the San Rafael links last Friday and Satur- day proved most successful, both in the number of entries and the quality of the playing. At the Ban Rafael links to-day Mrs. Dr. Arnold will offer prizes for & ladies’ open competition, nine holes.

The riders, officlals, spectators and the clubs that have called runs to witness the event will go over on the 8:30 and 9 a. m. broad-gauge boats to-morrow morn- ing. A morning paper yesterday stated that the fact that the Garden City Wheelmen did not enter a team created a ‘‘great sensation,” “fell like a thunderbolt,” etc.,, and that the racing committee was 4 letely nonplussed.”” Why these ter- rible happenings should have occurred it is hard to realize, from the simple fact the San Jose club did not enter the ra If his memory of facts was better, the writer would recall that the Garden City Wheelmen have never yet entered a team in the annual twenty-mile race of the association, and probably never & ce they ever en- mile relay. So only another and the will never hurt anybody it reacts as a boomerang upon unless himself.

SPALDING. - AMONG THE HUNTERS AND THE FISH-KILLERS Among the well-known sportsmen who will spoon and whip the Eel River during the coming week are J. V. Coleman, “Billy” Foote, Dan O’'Connell, Judge O. P. Evans, John Benn, T. Macauley, John Butler, Colonel W. Keliehor, Fred Ven- ker, John Gallagher and Tom Flynn. On board the next steamer which will leave for Eureka will be Colonel Young, Frank Maskey, J. H. Sammi, Fred Johnson and H. Smyth. Steelheads are now moving up the river in large numbers and the anglers from this city who will locate at Grizzly Bluft will certainly enjoy royal sport. Several striped bass have been caught during the past few weeks in the sloughs that meander through Bay Island and Alameda County. Quite a number of anglers will try their luck to-morrow, Al Newman and party returned last Monday from Tocaloma with one nice buck, but Newman stated positively that old *“Toc,” the immense deer which maimed several dogs this season, is still in the land of the living, and that the report of his death was premature. Newman is also willing to wager that the deer has not been killed and that the buck whjch was bagged by John Oswald, and not Mr. Siebert as reported, was several pounds less In weight than old “Toc,” who stiii roams the hills on the east side of Tocaloma. Last Saturday and Sunday the Truckee River caught a good wnpglng from Messrs. Carman, Mansfield, ugelsang, Siebe, Haldan, Friedlander, Hamiiton, J. Van_ Bergen, C. Young, Bogart and H. Hooper. The lovers of fly casting re- port having had excellent sport during morning and e\'enln]g Bert La Forge of Boca sent a beautiful six-pound trout to a friend last Wednes- day. The fish was caught within a few hundred yards of the hotel. As the river is very low the fishes are consequently hungry and sport will be good during the season. The annual picnic and pigeon shoot of the Lincoln Gun Club will be held to- morrow at Greenbrae. The first event will be a twelve-bird team race, and the second event a six-bird shoot. Fish Commissioner McGuire of Oregon does not credit an Associated Press re- port that the salmon recently caught in the Sacramento River were the same as those set free from the Clackamas hatch- ery, Oregon, or that they can be identi- fled with the Clackamas fish because of the absence of the adipose fin. In an in- terview he said: “If they can be so identified, it is a significant fact, for sclentific experts have not belleved that salmon ever wander so far away from their natlye streams, Moreover, the fish referred to were liber- ated from the hatcheries in the spring of 1896 instead of 1867, as the report had it. “It {s true, however, that the plan of marking by the removal of the adipose fin has overthrown the accerted theory of Jordan and Gilbert, in at least two particulars.” “Tt has demonstrated the fact that eggs taken in August and September do not roduce late runs. It has been found hat fishes from eggs taken in Septem- ber return to their rivers in the earl spring months. Some 5000 marked fis] were liberated at the Clackamas hatchery May 21, 1896, while the eggs were taken the previous fall. It also refutes the idea that four years are required for salmon to reach maturity, and then return to thelr rivers to spawn. Chinook salmon, at least, have been known to return fully matured, with an urpmxlmate mvarafe of thirty pounds in welght, in less than three years from the time of the taking of the eg;‘n_. ? 5 his plan of marking s the original conception 9f W F.

What a roaming sort of a chap this *star” twirler is! Pretty soon, I fear, there may be a way found so as to deprive him of an oppor- tunity to display his ability. It is strange he cannot remain with a club long enough to at least become acquainted. Hilderbrand of the Athletics gave as ac- ceptable an exhibition of base running as one would care to see during the last two games played by his team at the league grounds. He I8 a very fast and, I may add, surefooted runner, and his daring steal from first to third on an infleld hit last Sunday places him almost in a class by himself. He has also been smashing the sphere of late, and with his speed on the bases should hustle those leading in these de- partments to no little extent. Josh Rellly has a grievance; in fact, he entertains two such grudges—one nst the Recreation Park management and vne against yours tru]{. The first of these rievances should be attended to; as to T ‘er other, I must take care of that my- self. Josh—and I will insist that the fellow is not joking—claims two months' salary from those interested in Recreation Park, and because of its non-payment has ceased to be a member of the famous Athleties, - That he is iustlfled in dispensing with that Emy uniform cannot be denled, and that he should receive such money as is due him, according to promise and also contract, there is no doubt. Josh is a great ball player. On Satur- day last he played poorly, but all good players have their good and bad days, and the simple fact of his having a day off in no way interferes with the fact that he is among the very best—if not the best— players in the league. H’e is too grand a man to treat unfairl and whatever money {5 dus him should be pald immediately. Such men as he should be taken care of, and President Bert Is authority for the statement that the difficulty will be patched up. It is sincerely hoped that no time wfl‘) be lost in doing so, for without his management on the fleld, to say nothing of his playing, THEF A4 bbby + OARSMEN EAGER 5 % TO WIN $ + CHAMPIONSHIPS. 7 + R R R AR S A The Arfel intermedlate crew, made up of H. Wilson (bow), G. Steffens (No. 2), J. McKenna (No. 3) and James Wilson (stroke), has begun to train for the cham- pionship regatta. The place left vacant in the Turners’ crew by G. Steffens will be filled by F. Loth, who rowed No. 3 In the Lynch crew, but will pull stroke oar in the Turners’ barge. The Lynch crew has taken in Frank Lamonte, and has been rowing regularly for the past two weeks. As an early date is likely to be fixed for the championship races, all the crews have been directed to begin active train- ing. Willlam McCausland is practicing, and, by entering the shell event, will do his best to disprove the charges of lack of grit and good sportsmanship that have been made against him. Frank Wilson and George Phelan wil enter the senior skiff race and Charles Sternberg and J. Fickert the junfor skiff event. All four have begun training. The South End Rowing Club will prob- ably have entries in every championship event. The junior barge crew, consisting of C. Jenkins (bow), V. Koster (No. 2), T. Halloran (No. 3) and William Barry (stroke), has an average weight per man of 155 to 160 pounds. The ‘*‘midgets” will begin training on Sunday. R. McArthur is constantly out in skiff or shell, and will pull in the junior shell race. J. koley and Frank Duplissea will represent the club in the senior shell event. Dr. C. C. Dennis is grncllclng rezular]fi' and, using a new skiff that the South Ends propose to buy, hopes to retain his position as champion. ~J. Lyons goes out two or three times a week, and will enter the Junfor skiff race. The South Ends have not yet made uH an_intermediate barge crew, but wi robably get one together. Work on the andball court will be resumed tomorrow, and It is hoped to have it ready in time for the club entertainment on November 1. The South Ends propose to buy a new barge, for they feel that their boats are inferior in speed and lighitness to those owned by other clubs. O. Riehl of the Alameda Boat Club has engrossed and illuminated the resolutions of thanks to be sent to the Astoria re- gatta committee. At the last meeting the 4444+ b4 b e+ THE PUGILISTS ARE TRAINING HARD. + R TR TP PP On Tuesday evening the Western Ath- letic Club will give its first entertainment in Woodward's Pavilion, and, as the card is good, a crowded house is expected. Jimmy Lawlor invariably puts up a good fight, and, as his opponent, Sammy Max- well, Is a pretty hard nut to crack, an in- teresting twenty-round bout should re- sult. This contest will decide the light- weight championship. ¥ Mike McCormick and Young Peter Jackson will have a ten-round argument, and Jimmy Riley and Kid O'Brien will also warm each other's sides for ten rounds. The club has chosen Walter ‘Watson, late boxing instructor of the Olympic Club, for referee, and in this se- lection it certainly made no mistake, as ‘Watson {s conversant with every point in the game, George Green is getting into splendid form for his twenty-round meeting with Frank McConnell. Green is well aware that he must fight a great battle on this occasion, as defeat will assuredly put a dfl!nper on his record, and especially if whipped by a man who is so young in the business as McConnell. The last named pugilist is saying verv lttle concernin the mill, but judging from the amount o hard work he is taking at his training quarters In Alameda it can be easily in- erred that Mc will try hard to blot out the s?ot caused by his recent defeat in the Olympic Club, Tom Tracey, the clever Australian, is also training with McConnell in Ala- meda, as he expects a little trouble in the future with the famous “Kid” Lavigne. The National Club is making greatover- tures for a match between Corbett and McCoy. It wired the pugilists a very tempting offer a few days ago, but, as it will not tolerate snap-shooting during the mill by the kinetoscope marksmen, it is extremely doubtful if the “Kid” or James J. will entertaln the proposition. Besides, Corbett i{s not particularly anx- fous about fighting in this city, and will doubtless remain in New York.

CHAMPION OF SOUTHERN CALIFOR) the Athletics will have a most trying and unpleasant road to travel. . For the first time this season com- laints have been recelved at headquar- ers pertaining to the vulgar expressions used by some few select players while on the coaching lines, and in some cases when only in uniform on the bench. Sacramento is foremost regarding this much-dreaded extreme of baseball, and, strangely enough, they complain against a few of their own players, who, it -ap- ears, have a habit of vociferously guy- ng opposing teams. n ecelpt. of these complaints the Emergency Board acted instantly, and letters were mailea these chaps, in° which they were cautioned to desist from their present methods or. take iue conse- uences. ql had a chat with one of the board yes- terdayand judging from his manner while expatiating on this new evil, things in general are to be made quite warm for these offensive players, _ There is no_excuse for” a player *using expressions displeasing to the ears of spectators. Guying an opposing team in a genteel manner is not objectionable to any one, but this guying process, when indulged in to the extent of vulgarity. needs to be stopped. These few Sacramenta players, or to be more exact, these two Gilt Edge stars, are not mentfoned alone in the complaint. 8anta Cruz_has one, and he. too, has heard, so the Emergency Boar« says, from the high muck-a-muck in the Recreation Park contingent.

The intermediate barge crew of Dolphin Club is practicing regularly, and the men are getting well together. They £0 out two evenings during the week and on Sunday morning and afternoon. A. W. Pape is captain, and will content himself with barge rowing for the rest of this season. Not being able to secure the use of a light skiff, he will not enter the skiff event at the championship regatta. As two men of the Pioneers’ intermedi- ate barge crew are in the junior class, they have decided to row in the junior four-oar, which will be made up thus: H. Wilder, bow; F. O'Neill, No. 2; George Larsen, No. 4; W. Larsen, stroke. George Larsen'is also training for the junior skiff event and C. Ochs for the senior skiff champlonship. A new intermediate barge rew may be formed, consisting of I rr, W. St. John, C. Ochs and a fourth man. Two crews go out almost every night. The Pioneers will hold a club re- atta at the end of October or early in November. SWINMING FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP The world's champlonship 440 yards swimming match will take place to-mor- row at Sutro Baths between Dan Green, the Pacific Coast swimmer, and Sid Ca- vill, the Australian champion. This will be one of the most interesting contests ever witnessed on this coast, as it is going to be the final struggle for supremacy between the Californian and the Austra- llan. The (champion) Californian, Dan Green, says that the invader cannot take the laurels from California without a hard struggle. Last Sunday, Green claims, he did not get a fair start in the 220- ard race, but in this comine race he will up to the scratch in time. ————————— Burglar Gets a Life Sentence.

On the 30th gf last June Cameron entered the store of ohn Gardner, 150 Fifth street, and looted the establishment.

He wasn't in. vited, but he came anyway. His general ap- pearance was what might be expected from the course of life he has pursued for several years past. Blear-eyed, corpulent and whisky- sodden, the once brilllant boxer is now a per- fect specimen of the degenerate and a hope- less wreck. Immediately upon his arrival he set about ‘accumulating the materials for & grand and fantastic Jag. ter on he, according to custom, becam involved in a’saloon brawl and was shortly afterward led away to the familiar seolusion of a cell.

THE + $RACKET-WIELDERS? + FHe4 4444444444444 The champjonship doubles tournament at San Rafael, although not productive of the very best quality of tennis, showed that there are a number of young players who are rising every day to a place which will put them in the first class. The only genulnely first class teams who entered were the Hardys, and they merely de- fended their title to the coast champion- ship. Picher and Freeman won the all- comers’ tournament with ease from the “pony” team, Welhe and Adams. They then met the champlons, and it was the same kind of a story from the reverse side. The one team which played as if they had the genius of tennis within them was Weihe and Adams. They are both young men and have many years of ten- nis before them, but they play like old men. They occupy the same relative po- sition to tennis that the Hardys did five years ago, when they suddenly burst out into the tennis world by defeating the crack double team of the California Club, Stetson and De Long. Since that time the Hardys have reigned supreme in doubles, but if the “ponies” of the Cali- tornia Club make a corresponding prog- ress in the next two years there wfil be a rival team to the Hardys. Weihe is the better player of the two, He reminds one of Sam Neel, formerly of the Oakland Club, put now one of the best players in Chicago. His play possesses the same characteristics of quickness and ease, but he still has to learn accuracy and judgment. Picher's and Freeman's advantage lay in their superior condition and strength. The first set the ponies played them 10—8, but after that they ‘Wwere worn out physically and their heart was gone, something the Hardys, as young as they were, never suffered from, Another team which promises great things in the future is Hamilton and Drummond _McGavin, mera youngsters, Wwho play the tennis of men.” That the tournament of San Rafael was productive of good there can be no doubt, if for no other than the sole reason that the new young material was given a chance. At the California Club this afternoon there will be a doubles tournament. Teams will be formed to-day and the play begun at 2 o'clock. As Soon as a team loses two games it will be disquali- fled from further participation in the tournament. George Whitney layed Joe Hooper during the week and beat him in three straight sets. Robert Ingles, the Stock- ton player, was on the California courts during the week and will return to his native heath much enlightened in the way of tennis matters. THE FIELD TRIAL CLUB MEETS THIS MONTH John Elder of Alameda has been the victim of a dastardly dog polsoner. His Newfoundland pup, valued at $100, was found on Saturday last on Johnson ave- nue dying of strycanine, administered by some contemptible miscreant. The pup’s size carried off the first prize at six suc- cessive bench shows. Mr. Elder offers a large reward for the arrest of the poi- soner. Charles B. Drucker, the president of the San Francisco Board of Education, has presented his fine imported mastiff to his friend, Willlam B. Higgins of the St. Charles Hotel, Monterey. Mr. Higgins is immensely proud of his newly acquired canine friend, and it is understood has applied for admission to the Pacific Mas- tiff Club. The second forfeit of the Pacific Coast Fleld Trials will be due and payable on October 1. A meeting of the club will be held during the last week of the current month. The members of the club were 80 pleased with the judging of Mr. Merri- man last year that they will invite that gentleman to Perfurm is journey west- ward again this year. The ‘‘members’ amateur stake’ has de- cidedly ‘“‘caught on.” The ccaditions of entry are simply that members shall handle their own dogs, that the dogs they enter shall be their own bona-fide prop- erty, and that they shall never have handled other dogs than their own for any pecuniary compensation. Three gen- tlemen have promised silver cups for this stake, and other trophies are on the tapis. ’Fhe California Collie Club has called a meeting at San Jose for to-morrow for the pursose of considering the new rule roposed by the A.

At the meeting of the directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion yesterday Blwood Cooper, president of the State Horticultural Society, deliv- ered an address on pure foods, in which he urged upon the members to do all in thelr power to spread the movement over the entire State. To confine it to the city means that when brands of adulterated foods are driven from the cities they are to be found soon after in the country and in small municipalities. He believes that a State Pure Foods Bureau should be es- tablished. Oscar Lewls reported that J. J. Dunn is now drafting amendments to the pure foods laws, to be introduced in the coming Legislature. J. W. Kerr called attention to the fact that it is proposed to purchase 100 fire alarm boxes for the city, as announced recently in The Call.

Kittiwake wins the Law cup. Aeolus, being the win- ner of the Macdonough cup, and Speed- well of the Delegates’ cup, all the tro- phies go to Tiburon. E The South Bays were greatly disap- pointed that the sloop Papoose did not arrive in time to take part in the regatta, E. Stone, the builder at Hunters Point, had promised to cut her down from the thirty-foot to the twenty-five foot class and to have her in good trim for the race. Thinking that he had reduced )\Or‘slllh- ciently he did not measure her l_mtll the morning of the 9th.
