The con- flict in the two schedules has forced the basket-ball men to the wall and has caused @ postponement of basket-ball gam The reason of the postponement is due to the fact that many of the basket-ball men are playing on the indoor baseball team. The schedule for this league, which will comprise the Olympic, Reliance and Young Men's Christian Association teams, was settled last night. The first game will be played next week and the last some time in the middle of February. The win- ner of this league will meet Stockton for the State championship and the prize cup. The basket-ball league of Oakland, com- prising five teams—Athens, Spartans, Mis- sions, Rusers and Apolios—will recum- mence operations in April.

HE sportsmen who went in quest of ducks last Sunday had but little to repay them for their effort there was no flight of birds. There was no wind stirring on the marshes and few birds were seen on any of the preserves. The bays in this vicinity were covered with canvasbacks, bluebills and butter- balls, but they would not permit boats of any description to approach them.

A Mr. Howard. of Sacramento secured sixty ducks in one day's shooting recently. Captain James Markland is preparing for a descent upon the ducks and will close the season in brilllant style. Al Aull secured some plump ducks near Vallejo on Thursday. “The board of governors of the Califor- nia Inanimate Target Assoclation will meet Monday night in the rooms of the Olympic Gun Club.

Two occurrences within the past week have caused local wheelmen to open their eyes to the fact that what was thought to be apathy toward the sport was mere- Iy rest, and that the season of 190 prom- ises to be a revival of the boom of 1885. The first of these was the immense crowd of old-time wheelmen at the Bay City Club’s entertainment last Saturday night.

Many thought this would be its last meeting, but a motion to adjourn sine dle was ed down unanimously. Amendments the by-laws were proposed, changing somewhat the general s pe of the or- anization, and from the enthuslastic ches of Mr. Woodson of Sacramento and Mr. Adams of this city it was ap- parent that the association was about to awaken from its lethargy and continue in its control of eycling. The only thing that the body will give up is the control of track racing, that being delegated to the National Cycling Association, as suc- cessor of the League of American Whee! men.

AROUNDTHE BOATHOUSES The five-mile barge race on Oakland Creek last Sunday between the Alameda seniors and a crew of the South End Rowing Club was won easily by the for- mer, who jumped away with the lead and Though Ayers' wrists became cramped and Groenleaf was row- ing extremely short during the latter part of the race, the South Enders were quite unable to gain on their rivals, two of thefr own men having given out. The Alamedas rowed about 40 strokes a min- ute all through, and at the finish quick- ened to 42 or 43. This 1s a fast stroke for a long course, but the Alameda sen- jors form a clever crew and can sit their boat, which cannot be said of the South End’ representatives. to show that the Oakland Creek is an eminently_suitable course. Walter Duplissea, T. Lynch, John Mit- chell and “Tom' Lynch, who were in the Third Artillery, have returned from Ma- nila and will take up rewing again. At the last meeting of the South End Rowing Club the officers elected for the present half vear were installed and the following new members were initiated: J. Maguire, Victor Elfendahl, W. J. De- martini and John Hatinett. ‘At the next meeting L. Walsh and M. Kilgallon will be initiated. The membership list of the Aerial Row- ing Club is growing and, as there is no limitation to the number of members, the club bids falr to pass the others. Sev- eral applications for membership are on file, and at a_recent meeting six new members were initiated—E. J. Murphy of the Southern Pacific law department, John H. Desmond and Aaron H. Brown of the Southern Pacific freight office, Wal- ter H. Young of the Sun Insurance of- fice and Charles J. McKeon. Robert El lis, who left this city for Manila several months ago. has returned and rejoined the Ariels. The club will have three barge crews the coming season. The seniors will be: H. Wilson;, bow; W.
