The question of the ability of the Frisco bal! tossers to make another gain on the champions this week depends largely on the capacity of the Dudes from across the bay. the champions this week they may make the fur fly at Recreation Park and glad- den the hearts of the local fans. Last week the Oaklands were in a badly crip- pled condition, but they managed to break even with the Sacramentos. Uncle Henry has been eating dish after dish of victory, and any reverse would be a cause for wrathful indignation on the part of the local fanatics, They have by an unparalleled series of victories shot from last to second place. Sacramento leads by 2 less than 100 per cent. It is many weeks since the champlons havé not had a lead greater than 100. This series may change the positions of the second and_third teams, but cannet alter the place of the leaders or the tail-enders. The standing of the league clubs is as follows: ;S 2 cLuBs. H Sacramento .. 608 San Franecisco 510 Stockton Oakland The Oaklands are in better form this week than they have been for some time and should give the champions a hard fight. Hutchinson is back in the game after having nursed a sprained wrist for two weeks, and Meangerina has recovered from the injury to his knee. Moreover, a new infrelder has been signed in the per- son of Weed, who has a fine record as a ball tosser. Pete Lohman, the veteran backstop, has been wired that his terms have been accepted, and he wlill join the team in another week. The Sacramentos are still somewhat crlpgled owing to the sickness of Shanahan, but Captain Dev- ereaux is back in the game once more and the team will have the benefit of his coaching.

The represen- | tatives present were strongly in favor of | organizing a Paclfic States Golf Assocla- | tion, and communications to that effect wiil be sent to the various clubs through- | out California. It is believed that such an association would succeed in bringing | out many noted players to the Pacific Coast. Each club sends two delegates to the association. eaan TEBD St Where the Anglers Are. From present reports the best fishing of the season has become history. The upper Truckee, which was the Mecca of anglers this year, has ceased to give up its finny | life in great quantities and the good | streams all over the State are showing less and less of fish. One cause for the sudden falling off in the fishing near Florieston has been as- signed to the erection of the paper mill and power plant near that town. Com- | missioner Babcock is now investigating the evil effects of these new erections. J. Crackmell returned from the upper mill, State line, and reports that the fish | are poor and not fit to eat on account of | the condition of the water which is used | {in irrigation and for floating logs. The river is coated with a scum and the fish dy. ol ea HHalck and F. M. Hatght will lgave for Boca this evening with enough tackle for a month’s trip. Warren Olney wiil be found whipping the Truckee next week. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shurtleff left for Point Reyes Thursday morning and will | be gone for a week. Frank Maskey has been enjoying the sport at his country place in Humboldt County. Al Cummings, who has been at Webber for a month, will return next week. He has had exceptional fishing during his entire_vacation. | L W. J. Street. who has been fishing at Sims, will return to the city in few days. He writes that the Upper ra- mento has ylelded good returns. Some striped bass have beenstaken out of the sloughs on the Roos-Crocker-Pres- ton-Murdock-Poniatowski preserves near San Pablo. ‘W. R.

The programme for to-day’s and to- mOTTow’s coursing is a good one and con- sists of an eighty-eight-dog open stake and an eight-dog champion event. The card will be run down once to-day, and on Sunday the champion event will be run off in addition to the stake finals. The promising litter of puppies by St. Lawrence, out of Lady Blanche, have had an unfortunate setback this week. Lady Blanche was attacked by eczema and tha pupples in turn were similarly affected by the disease. Casserly & Kerrigan, owners of the litter, are hopeful that prompt treatment may bring the puppies around in_due time. Russell, Allen & Wilson are having bad luck with their greyhounds. Spiteful has gone wrong, and, in fact, out of the twen- ty-five dogs of the well known kennel there are but four or flve which are not laid up and which are fit for training. The dogs have contracted a sort of muscular rheu- matism which affects them in a manner making exercise impossible. Many of the hounds are entered in the Futurity, and unless an improvement is shown soon the firm's chances for recognition in that great event will be handicapped. Sea Breeze, a Russell, Allen & Wilson importation, has yet to win a course in this country, and it looks as if the bring- ing out of that unlucky animal was & poor venture. In Thursday’s reserve stake at San Ma- teo Park Jingle Bells brought joy to the hearts of the pikers in the first round of that event. As good as 10 to 1 was gquoted against Dem;;se.v's filer in the go with Lear King. The dogs ran an undecided, and In the run-off Jingle Bells got the flag. Superstition is a factor with cours- ing men as well as with foliowers of other sports. ‘On the morning train to the park a piker who is well known as a hunch player noticed that the number 13 figured conspicuousily in the make-up of the train. The engine and every car had the “hoo- doo”” figures, which fact caused the piker to feel sure that he had a cinch if he could_study the hunch out. He figurad to lay 13 to a finish and selected the Jingle Beils course, which was thirteenth on the card. Bgt after bet he played until his Sne was exhausted, and when at last the ag was raised giving Jingle Bells the de- cisfon the piker awoke. The San Mateo management will take up all passes on S\mdaf- and give out a new issue. The move Is not to deprive any person who is entitled to free admis- sion, but is made for the protection of the a ation from the abuse of pass own- ers who allow their tickets to gain en- trance for half a dozen or more people on dayg when admission is charged. The new p-q:m be non-transferrable. and if pre- sented at the gate Dy any other person then the one to whom it Is made out it will be forfeited. Curtls & Sons’ Psyche showed wenl i Thursday's stake. as did Judge Reilly Louxhnen(fm a Connemara youngster. The For Freedom saplings did not do as well as- expected, though with a little more experience better results may follow. They ed speed. but were green. As a rule the Futurity candidates made ood impressions and a few more courses lor them will enable the talent to get a Hine on_them for the big event. The Ingleside Association will end its most successful turn to-morrow. Union Park will then take hold for four weecks. The former association {s already at work for a grand event for its second inmings and expects to arrange a ecard In which the top-notchers will scramble for big prizes. ————— In Indlan mounted officers traveling b: e ey iy o e fer it, take a bicycle with them at Gove ernment expense in lieu of a charger.
