At one | time, when about a furlong from home, the winner seemed to falter, the big crowd thought she was beaten. This it seems is one of her notlons, for when Martin shook her up she answered his call and forged ahead. The racing was marked by nothing noteworthy, unless it was Fred Foster's expensive win with Dr. Sheppard, The Sastern turfman entered his big hbred in the second event, a sell- ing affair, to be sold for $700, which he | won in a’'gallop. ~ Coda finished second, | and her owner, J.

The stewards of the Pacific Coast | Jockey Club met last evening at the Pal- | ace Hotel, and at this late day, after the public’s money has been lost, the last big steal at Ingleside termed a steeple- chase was givena thorough overhauling. It | happened on January 21, and the Haw- thorne outfit had its toes roasted. They | were down on Colonel Bartlett and_Sii- verado won. Therefore a few Native Sons | had to get it. Bert Shepard, who rode Huntsman, was ruled off. W. Shields, | the owner of Lord Chesterfield, was als ruled off. J. Coyle, considered the inter- | locutor in the game, had the same sen- | tence read to him. 'J O C might shape around and be hard to beat, 8o it was or- dered that this jumper and Jockey Hig- | gins be Indefinitely shelved. The cunning displayed by the board of stewards sur- passes the bounds of comprehension. If | they were looking fek the bookmaker that | handled Jockey Burns and possibly one | or two more and could not see him they | sould visit an oculist. ON THE TENNIS COURT. It was intended to hold a ladies’ tour- nameht, doubles, at the California Lawn Tennis Club on Wednesday, beginning at | 10 o'clock In the morning, but at that | hour the courts were too wet to play | upon, so the tournament was deferred | until Thursday. The weather on that | day again proving unfavorable, the tour- | nament was postponed until Wednesday, | February 8. To-day a round robin tour- | nament “will be heid. Some keenly con- tested games were played on Thursday afternoon. George F. Whitney beat Ray | Cornell two sets, the score being 6—3 and ' 6—0. George F. Whitney beat Grant | Smith two sets, the score being 6—0 and | . Barclay Henley beat Frank Long one set, the score being 6—0, and Frank | Long won one set from Barclay Henley, the score standing 6—2. ———— Shot a Carrier Pigeon. C. J.

The annual meeting of the members of the San Francisco Yacht Club will be held at the Merchants’ Exchange next ‘Wednesday evening, February 8, at § o'clock. The principal business will be the election of a board of officers for the present year. There are two tickets in the fleld, the regular nominees being as follows: For Commodore, Dr. T. L. Hill, owner of the sloop Cygnus, and incum- bent of the office; for vice commodore, Dr. Vincent P. Buckley, formerly part owner of the launch Satellite, and for whom a large yacht s now being built by Menotti of North Sausalito; for port captain, James Kitterman of the launch America; | for secretary, E. C. Bartlett, owner of the yawl frolic and formerly financial secre- tary of the club; for financial secretary, B. . G. Morrow; for treasurer, R. B. Hogue; for measurer, J. M. Punnett. On this ticket the candidates for commo- | dore, financial secretary, treasurer and Imeasurer are the incumbents of those of- ces. The second ticket reads as follows: For commodore, Dr. A. W. McKenzie, former- ly owner of the launch Alberta, and now of the yacht Sappo: for vice commodore, Dr. Vincent P. Buckley; for port captaln, James Kitterman; for’ secretary. B C. Bartlett; for financial secretary, Louis Q. Haven, formerly owner of the yacht Sappho; ‘for treasurer, Isidor Gutte, owner of the schooner Chispa, and for | many years commodore of the club; for | measurer, Matthew Turner. It {s announced that several important matters with regard to proposed improve- | ments of the club property and the gen- | eral policy to be pursued during. the sea- | son of 1839 are to be discussed at the| meeting. The candidates for vice com- port captain and corresponding being the same on both tickets, and the candidates for the office of com- modore, financial secretary and treasurer on the regular ticket having held those posts during the past season, and having proved themselves remarkably eflicient, attentive to their duties and regular in attendance at the meetings of the board, the regular ticket ought to be carried al- most unanimously. On_Thursday_evening the directors of the Corinthian Yacht Club held their reg- | to work on it. The minor league, which will consist of the Stars and Intermedi- ates of this city and the Dolphins, Man- hattans and Rough Riders of Oakland, is also arranging a schedule. On Thursday night the Y. M. C. A. in- door baseball team beat the Olympic nine in the gymnasium of the Olympic Club, S THE SCHUETZEN BUND. Local Members Waiting for a Report of Old Board of Officers. The officers of the National Schuetzen Bund, recently formed in this city for the big tournament in 1901, are all at sea. The rules of the organization are that ev- ery member-club should be informed of the financial condition of the bund within thirty days after every tournament, but it has been over six months since the shooting festival in Glendale, N. Y., and no statement has been made and none of the records and archives of the national organization have been sent to the new bund in this city by the members of the old, as required by the bund laws. From all accounts the cers of the old organ- ization had a considerable sum of money on hand, left over from the preceding shoot and taken in at the last tournament. From fragments of gossip among the riflemen of the East it is believed that the sum was from $12,000 to $16,000, yet Mr. Weber, president of the old bund, in Sports, of New York, of which he is 'the editor, congratulates the bund that it did not come out in debt; for all that all of the funds were not consumed, and the bund was not obliged to make a draw on_ the $200,00 guarantee fund. Riflemen out here are at a loss to know what this means. The new president, Richard Finking, says that if the accounts, rec- ords and archives are not sent here by the end of next week he will call a meet~ ing to have the bund decide what to do. He acknowledges that without the records the bund cannot do anything. - C. W. Swaln, secretary of the Jone Rifle Club of Amador County, has furnished an account of some rifle shooting by mem- bers of that club that compares favorably with the efforts of the rifiemen around the bay, who are shooting whenever the occasion permits. At the club’s regular contests. Sunday the shooting was done at 200 yards, off hand, on the Colum- bia target, the scores belng runs of ten shots to the string. John Fink made 64, 74 and 7. Dr. B. H. Foreman’s best was 39, 56 and 57. The 39 score stands as the high record of the Ione Club, and the This Handsome Cup Will Be Coursed For at Ingleside Park on February 22.

This afternoon the regular competition for the Liverpool Silver medal, 18 holes, medal play, with handicap, will take place on the links of the San Francisco Golf Club. E. J. McCutchen Is at present the holder of the medal, having won it at the competition of January 2, after a tie with A. B. Williamson. The six players who make the best gross scores will compete at nine holes for a spe prize, each player keeping his handicap. This afternoon on the links of the Oak- land Golf Club the third competition for the Tibbetts cup will take place. This cup was presented by Mrs. Le G. C. Tibbetts, and was won in May, 1898, by D. F. Bel- den,, and in October of last year by P. E. Bowles, vice-captain of the Oakland Golf Club. On May 6 of this year the winners of the three competitions will play a final game, the winner of which will keep the cup as his own property. Sixteen entries have been received. The competition i a handicap one, at 18 holes, medal pla. The open handicap tournament of t Santa Catalina Island Golf Club will be held at Avalon on Saturday, February 18, and Sunday, February 19.” 'All amateurs are invited to enter. Handicaps must be obtained from the secretaries of the clubs in person or by letter with the entry clerk at the office of the Banning Company, Los Angeles, on or before February 15. It a golfer who wishes to enter the tourna- ment cannot obtain his handicap from the secretary of his own club, he will be per- mitted to enter on stating to the clerk the three best scores he has made on the links of his club. There will be flve events: An open handicap competition at 26 holes, medal play, for men; an open handicap competi- tion 'at 18 holes, medal play, for women; an open driving contest for men; an open driving contest for women, and mixed foursomes, at nine holes, medal play. The first eighteen holes of the open handicap competition for men will be played on Saturday, February 18, beginning at 1:30 . m., and the second’ eighteen holes on léunduy. February 19, beginning at 8:30 a. m. The first nine holes of the open handicap competition for women will be played on Saturday, February 18, com- mencing at 3 p. m.; and the second nine holes on Sunday, February 19 beginning at 10:30 a. m. The open driving contest for men will begin at noon, and the open driving contest for women at 12:30 p.m., on Sunday, February 19. At 2 p. m., on that Sunddy, there will be mixed foursomes, at 9 holes, medal play. The fact that cach player will receive the handicap to which he would be en- titled on the links of his own club should make the entries numerous and the com- petitions close and interesting. A detailed description of the Santa Catalina links was given in last Saturday’s Call, with the distances of the holes and the nature of the hazards. SRS Basket Ball Games. Basket ball is the sport which the Young Men’s Christian Association is de- voting its time to at present. A new league has been formed consisting of the Rushers and the Missions of San Fran- cisco and the Athens and Spartans of Oakland. ‘The schedule of games will be tabulated as soon as the new league committee, which has just been organized, can get shots were 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 6, 5, 6—39. This was the last of his string and was made vhen all of the other marksmen had fin- ished for the day. When the marker came up from the pit he explained | that the last ten shots might have been better by three or four points, but on account of the center being covered with pasters there was some doubt and he counted out instead of in. If the center had been clean it is possible that the scores would have shown as good as 36 o but only the 39 was claimed. Out 72 shots that Dr. Foreman fired during the matches he only got out of the 12-inch black twice. M. J. WHITE. STEELHEAD FISHING. Anglers Are Waiting Another Heavy Rain at Point Reyes. The anglers are not meeting with much | success, as the water in the lagoons !s too low and clear, conditions which are not favorable to sport. A good rain is needed to flood the creeks, when the an- nual February run of steelheads will be welcomed. During the last storm the fishes made a mad rush for the head- waters of the rivers and creeks, where they soon became the property of the country lads, who are handy with a fish spear. The killing of one female fish means a loss of 5000 fry to the stream whence the fish is taken. Anglers who spend thousands of dollars yearly among the hotels and the stables of country towns which are within easy reach of fishing streams are not very liable to turn if they find that there are no trout to be caught. To slaughter breed- ing fishes is the surest way of destroying a good trout stream. The following poetic effusion from a lo- cal bard, entitled *““The Steelhead,” will be read with much interest by the an- glers who visit Point Reyes.

The Alta amd the Golden Gate baseball teams will meet at Recreation Park, Eighth and Harrison streets, this after- noon at 2 o’clock. The winners will claim the amateur championship of the coast.

First Round of Tibbetts Cup Tourna- ment Begun at Oakland Yesterday. The event set down on the programme of the San Francisco Golf Club for yes- terday was the regular monthly competi- tion for the Liverpool silver medal. Though the weather was brilllant and the links in excellent condition, the event was postponed till a later date. On the opposite side of the bay, how- ever, the Oakland links presented an ani- mated appearance throughout the after- noon, a constant succession of players making the round of the course. The event was the third contest for the Tib- betts cup, for which two conpetitions took place last year, the first being won v D. 8. Belden and the second by P. BE. owles, vice captain of the Oakland Golf Club. Twenty-one competitors entered, making ten couples and one bye. The entries were: P. George Gow, C. W. Win- gate, E. R. Folger, J. C. McKee, W. Pierce Johnson, 3 . W._ Mein, R. M. Fitzgerald, C. P. Hubbard, D. S. Bel- den, C. O. G. Miller, T. R. Hutchinson, R. A. Cooke, W. de B. Whyte, G. S. Wheaton, J. Maxwell Taft, H. J. Knowles, George D. Greenwood and T. V. Bakewell. The first round of the tourna- ment was not finished yesterday after- noon, but will be continued to-day. The ‘winners in the first round so far as it was ?)ln.yed were Vice Captain P. E. Bowles, . 8. Belden, G. S. Wheaton, E. R. Fol- ger, R. A. Cooke and George D. Green- wood. The conpetition was at eighteen holes, match play. A. J. Folger and F. S. Stratton tled at the eighteen holes, and on playlnfi nine holes extra to decide the tie succeeded In tying again. The ten winners and the player who drew the bye in the first round will play in the second round; the five winners and the player who draws the bye will play in the third round; in the semi-final round two of the winners will play against each other, and one will draw a bye; the win- ner of the semi-final round and the com- petitor drawing the bye will play in the final round. Later in the season the win- | ners of the three tournaments will engage | in a last great struggle, the winner of | which will become the proud possessor | and absolute owner of the grand Tib- betts cup. PR —— AMONG THE OARSMEN. Lively Sessions Are in Prospect for | the Pacific Athletic Association. | On Friday, February 10, the regular monthly meeting of the Pacific Associa- tlon of the Amateur Athletic Union will be held. | The Ploneers have decided to put their boathouse in repair, and have let out the contract for the work. The South End float is not ready for use yet. The mem- bers are working on the handball court, which should be ready in two months. C. Crelghton and C. Skelly are organizing a junior barge crew. Dr. C. C. Dennis will row this season. The entertainment for the raising of funds to enlarge and improve the quar- ters of the Alameda Boat Club will take place on Friday evening, February 10, at Armory Hall, Alameda.

Sale of the English Setter Val’s Mark to a Los Angeles Sportsman. The most notable sale of the season has Jjust been consummated, and it is the cele- brated English setter dog Val's Mark that has been thereby transferred from the ownership of “Bob” Gardiner to that of John Schumacher of Los Angeles. The consideration was $175, and all the love and affection that such a brilliant per- former as Mark is bound to evolve from his new owner. Val's Mark has literally made his mark, and a brilllant one at that, on the fleld trial ground, and has justified his claim to be the worthy of spring of royal parents. He is by Vali- ente, out of Peach Mark, and no better parentage can be claimed. Mr. Schu- macher is to be congmtulatod on having proved a successful bargain hunter. Mastiffs are decidely on the up grade. All the pups bred by the Montez kennels, out of Lola (40,560), sired by Chino Don (37,547), have been 'sold, and they will without exception figure in the ring at the May show. Henry Spaulding has bought Charles Rex, by Sir Harcourt, out of Lady Glendora, from H. S. Brown, and will ‘also exhibit his new acquisition. He expects to win money, medals, ribbons and glory, The St. Bernard men declare that, pro- vided the judge selected by the bench show committee be agreeable to them, the show of the “holy breed” will break all records. All differences heretofore exist- ing between the St. Bernard Club and the San Francisco Kennel Club have been satisfactorily and completely adjusted, and sweet harmony reigns supreme. The bench show committee has started in vigorously to work on preliminary de- talls, and things are working more smoothly than ever before. A meeting of the American.Kennel Club Pacific Coast speclal committee will be held during the coming week. £ Ztiend IMPORTING PHEASANTS. The English Ring-Neck Variety to Be Brought From New Jersey. The State Board of Fish and Game Commissioners met yesterday and con- sldered a proposition made by the Fresno County Sportsmen’s Association. The secretary of the organization wrote that the members are very much interested in the propagation of all kinds of game birds in that county and are desirous of increasing within its borders the game fowls of other lands. The State has placed many Mongolian pheasants in the county, which the sportsmen are guard- ing with jealousy. Now the members wish to add the English ring-necked pheasant, which has proved to be such a success in New Jersey. The offer was that the association would bring out twenty-five or thirty of these birds if the commission_would stand one-half of the expense. The Commissioners considered thae the pro!msltlnn was a good one, as they had desired to bring these birds into the State, but the limited fund at the disposal of the commission and the great expense It Is being put to in importing the Mongolian pheasant from the Orient would not permit. The steamer Coptic, which arrived Thursday, brought an- other lot of Mongolian pheasants from Shanghai, China. They came from the commission’s agent, F. H. Haskell, who is now in China selcctln% pheasants for the hills and valleys of California. The new arrivals are in good condition and will at once be liberated in the hills near | ITone, Amador County, and near York- ville, Mendocino County, one-half to each section. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.
