TROUT STREAMS YIELD HIGH-CLASS ANGLING HE middle of September invariably marks the height of the trout fishing season, and this year is proving no exception to the rule. High class sport is reported from all the well known streams, such as the Truckee, Sacramento and McCloud rivers. The Truckee holds first place in the hearts of the anglers, as it is not a sal- moh stream. The steelhead fishing in Humboldt Coun- just beginning. Information from eys, Weymouths and Scotia is to the effect that the fish are beginning to run. any of the local anglers are planning their annual trip to Eel River, without which they would think no season com- plete. Striped bass fishing in San Pablo Bay and the sloughs tributary to it has been excellent during the past week. Al Wil- son, O. W. Jackson, Scott and Skinner and others of the striped bass fishermen ave made some excellent catches. The State Board of Fish Commissioners held its meeting for this month at the magnificent house of the McCloud River L Club, on the McCloud. This organization has a membership of twenty gentlemen, residents of this city and Sacramento. Tts president is George W. Scott of this city. I has purchased twelve' miles of both banks of the river, which afford tire mem- bers some of the finest fishing on the coast. The clubhouse Is twenty miles from the railway station at McCloud. Commissioners H. W. Keller and W. E. Gerber and Chief Deputy J. P. Babcock were the guests of W. W. Van Arsdale, one of their associates. He is a member of the club and had charge of the con- struction of the clubhouse and of the road leading to it. In addition to the fishing, the club has the finest deer park In Northern California. Mr. Keller, in walk- ing up from the clubhouse in quest of.a buck, saw eleven does and fawns within an_hour. The Fish Commissioners will establish a spawning station on Squaw Creck, ad- jacent to the club property, and will op- erate there during the coming spring. The eggs taken at this station will be hatched at the Sisson Hatchery and will be placed in the public waters of the State. Of the anglers at the clubhouse Mrs. W. W. Van Arsdale was high hook. She caught and landed a Dolly Varden which weighed nine and a quarter pounds when placed on the clubhouse scales. Fly fish- ing on the McCloud will be at its best during the last week of this month and the first week in October. At present it is not good because of the spawning sal- mon. Charles S. Wheeler, F. G. Sanborn, Fred Chase and Edwin Clark left last Thursday for Mr. Wheeler's beautiful place at the Bend on the McCloud. The sportsmen will pay more attention to the deer shooting than to the fishing. Reports from the Truckee are of the best. In the vicinity of Bqca the sport is especlally good. Walter D. Mansfield and others who have fished there recently were most successtul with small flies. The best killer was the number 16 Red Spin- ner. Dr. Clark Burnham and C. B. Gould have been at Pelican Bay for the past fortaight. 2 YACHTING MEN DISCUSS - ADMISSION DAY REGATTA HE Admission day regatta of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association was the most successful the organi- zation has held. The classes were well filled, the starts were close and the racing was interesting. There were no mishaps nor accidents. Warned by the experience of previous yvears, the regatta committee took especial care in placing the stakeboats, the windward one being A Lee's Surprise and the leeward one ex-Governor Budd's gasoline launch. The feature of the regatta looked forward to with most interest was the second trial of speed between Commodore A. E. Chap- man's Benicla-built sloop Helen, the challenger for the Perpetual cup, and Frank Stone’s sloop Presto, which suc- cessfully defended the trophy, Presto was the standard boat in the thirty-foot class, and Helen received a time allowance of 2 minutes 26 seconds. In actual sailing time Presto beat Helen 6 minutes 26 sec- onds, or on corrected time exactly four minutes. As Presto beat Helen by only forty seconds un the day of the Perpetual Challenge cup race her victory on Admission day was _ much more decisive, though allowing Iit- tle or no margin for erros of judgment or mishaps. The old Macdonough cup winner Aeolus had a keen tussle with Helen for sécond place, running home only eleven seconds Lefore her, but losing the second fiag by 1 minute 13 seconds corrected time. The ‘one-gun” start brought the boats close together at the starting line in all the classes, those in the thirty-six-foot class crossing in fitteen seconds and those in the forty-four-foto class in thirty-six seconds. In the forty- four-foot class the sloop Harpoon came in first, but as she had fouled the windward stakeboat on the first beat out she was disqualified from winning the prize, which went to the sloop Speedwell, with Clara in second place. The California yawl Gypsie beat the Corinthian yacht. Arc- turus 12 minutes 2 seconds and the yacht Spray by 12 minutes 16 seconds. but a pro- test was lodged against her for forcing some of the twenty-five-footers to go about on the starting line. Gypsie was on the port tack and should have yielded. The Law cup and four of the five Mac- donough cups were won by Corinthian yachts. J. Dalton Harrison's yacht Idler of the Encinal Club was the only boat that entered and did not start. The cruise to Drakes Bay during the Admission day holidays proved successful, though few boats attended. Splendid weather was enjoyed and all reached home safely. Jdgell and Morrow's yawl Royal left Sausalito about 11 o’clock on Saturday morning, September 7, and an- chored in Drakes Bay at 2 a. m. on Sun- d September 8. The sioop Cygnus started from Sausalito on Sunday morn- ing, ‘September 8, arriving at Drakes Bay at 3 a, m. on Admission day. The Corin- thian yawl Frolic and the California sloop Pactolus also made the trip.. On board Pactolus were Allen M. Clay, G. L. ‘Wakeman, R. L. Eames, Miss Clay and a friend. The yawl Royal left Drakes Bay at 9:05'a. m. on Admission day and with a fair wind dead astern picked up the Duxbury Reef buoy, then fetched Point Bonita and made moorings at Sausalito in six hours and a half at p. m., Cyg- nus having beaten her in. Yesterday the yachts of the San Fran- cisco Club started on a trip to the upper bay and to-day will hold a clambake on the shore. As the event is intended spe- cially for the benefit of the mon-owners cards Wwere sent out tc the owners re- questing them to find room for members on board their boats. The clambake ar- ranged some weeks ago by a few emer- getic members was so much enjoved that the club determined to give this one in- stead of a dance. OARSMEN ARRIVE HOME FROM ASTORIA. Report Conditions - Obtaining at ‘the < Regatta Were Not as Favorable as mn Other Years e HE oarsmen of the Alameda Boat Club who went up to the Astoria re- gatda returned last Tuesday by train. The barge and outrigged skiffs were blistered a little by the heat of the rail- road car, but were otherwise uninjured Each member of the crew brought back a gold medal won in the championship barge race. F. W. Ayers had two, the extra one being for the outrigged skiff race, in which hedefeated 8. J. Pam- broke, who went north with the Olympic crew. The Alameda Club will hold its an- nual champlionship races shortly, and 'will probably invite some of the city oarstaen to take part In a match race. Dr. C. C. Dennis of the South End Rowing Club has promised to pull in an outrigged skiif race at the Alameda regatta. The Ala- meda men say the barge race in which they took part against the Portland Row- ing Club was not a serious affair. and that their defeat in it was not regarded as in- dicative of the superiority of their op- ponents. The hospitality of the Portland- ers was generous, and the Alameda oars- men were up nearly all the night before the race. They were in no condition to do themselves justice. With regard to the disproportionate number of Olympic men who went north, it is said the Astoria committee desired to haye them because of their ability to take part in an indoor entertainment, such as is given from time to time in the clubrooms on Post street. As soon as- Secretary J. C. McCue of the Astoria committee reported the result of his ob- servations in San Francisco it was de- cided to have a dozen or more athletes from the Olympic Club. Since the athletes returned from As- toria, where they were signally successful in the track and field events, some com- plaints have been heard of the inefficiency of the Astoria committee, only two mem- bers of which, J. C. McCue and Percy Sovey, made any real effort to accommo- date the visitors. The rest of the ‘“honor- ables” on the committee contented them- selves with wearing their badges of of- fice and doing nothing in particular. 1 The weather man is unquestionably a storm scenter. GOLFERS READY FOR AUTUMN MATCHES. Presidio and Qakland Experts Prepar:ng for Games on Links on “Both Sides of the Bay T ifest renewed activity after the sum- mer season. The committees will soon have schedules of tournaments for the autumn meetings ready. On Labor day and Admission day the San Francisco Golf Club held tournaments against “bogey,” match play, the first of which was won by L. B. Edwards, after playing off a tie with J. W. Byrne. John Lawson won the second. The San Rafael Golf Club has had an unusually active and successful season and its tournaments still attract many en- tries and are well contested. On Admis- sion day the qualifying round of the com- petition for the championship cup, which has taken the place of the Council's cup for men, now the property of E. J. Mc- Cutchen, took place on the San Rafael links, the eight who qualified being J. J. Crooks, R. Gilman Brown, R. J. Davis, E. J, Hooper, C. A. Belden, C. P. Pome- roy, Douglas Hardy and George Heazel- ton. The opening match play round of the competition took place yesterday, the contestants being paired as follows: R. s. George Heazelton: Dougl Carter P. Pomeroy; C. A. Ba- R. Gilman Brown, and E. J. The four win- HE San Francisco and Oakland Golf Club members are beginning to man- vs. Hooper vs. J. J. Crooks. ners in yesterday’s match will play in the semi-final round next Saturday and the final round will be played on a day agreed on by the two contestants. The winner will be the first to have his name inscribed on the trophy, which carries with it the men’s champlonship of the San Rafael Golf Club. Prizes were offered for the best gross and best handicap scores made in the qualifying round on Admission day, that for the best net score being won by R. J. Davis, with 110 less 5—102. For the other prize R. Gilman Brown and J. J. Crooks tied with gross scores of 103; the tie will be played off over thirty-six holes to-day. On Wednesday, the 1ith inst., there was a competjtion on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club for a trophy presented by Mrs. R. Gilman Brown, to be played for by ladies. The assignment of handicaps is always a somewhat difficult matter in golf com- petitions, some clubs adopting one method and others another. In the San Francisco Golf Club the handicapping is done by Robert Johnstone, the resident profes- slonal, who is so familiar with the relative strength of the players that his handicaps nearly always bring out close contests. Other clubs, as, for example, the Los An- geles Country Club, have an official handi- capper. In the San Rafael Golf Club the handicaps were at one time allotted by T. W. Tetley, then the resident profes- sional, and other methods have been tried. After several experiments the club offi- cials belleve they have found a method of handicapping which is fair and will put an end to all objections on the part of the players. Forty-eight is set as th€ scratch sdore for amateur men golfers over the San Rafael course, and in competition each player receives a handicap of two- thirds of the difference between this scratch score and the player’s best score. The scores are written up on the bulletin board and objection, if any is to be made, must be lodged before play in the com- petition begins. et The final shoot of the season of both the Olympic Gun Club and the Union Gun Club will be held to-day. The members of the former will pepper bluerocks, whils the latter will shoot live birds. A feature of the day’s sport will be a record race at 100 birds. —_——— John Sammi killed a 130-pound buck on the grounds of the Point Reyes Club last Tuesday. This was his first buck.

CITY CRICKETERS — IN LAKE COUNTY HE team of San Francisco cricket- ers which visited Lake County dur- ing the Admission day holidays re- turned to this city on Monday even- . having won both their matches. The first match- was played at Lakeport on Saturday, the 7th inst., against the eleven of the Lakeport Cricket Club. The city team went to the bat first, but on the treacherous ground none of the batsmen except F. J. Croll, who compiled 35, n!ade any stand against the bowling of Keel- ing and Webber. The former took § wickets for 15 runs and the latter 4 for 33. Seven of the visitors contributed nothing to the total of 49 runs. The Lakeport men, however, did not do much better than the visitors, being all out for 57 runs. Casidy took five wickets for 2§ runs, and Croll four for 13 runs. On their second attempt the visitors quickly com- piled §7 for six wickets, Richardson being not out 69. The innings was then de- clared closed and Lakeport went to the bat. After seven wickets had fallen for a small total C. M. Hammond began to hit vigorously and made 37 not out. Rich- ardson bowled Stokes at the call of time, and the visitors won with a total of 136 runs. The Lakeport total was two less, 134. R. C. Kortman, C. E. R. Thurlow and R. Hutton did not go to the bat. It was a very narrow squeak for the visiting eleven. Richardson captured 5 wickets for 16 runs, and Casidy took 5 for 36 runs. On Sunday, the 8th, the visitors crossed Clear Lake to Lower Lake, where they met the Burns Valley team on what is probably the best and certainly the pret- tiest ericket ground in California. The visitors_acquitted themselves well here, H. B. Richardson retiring after making 103 and Casidy after scoring 3. F. Croll compiled 34, A. W. Wilding contributed 13 and E. T. Langdale 10. When the score had reached 240 for five wickets the inm- ings was called, Spurr, Hildebrand and Hammond having captured one wicket apiece. The Burns Valley men put to- gether %, to which C. L. Enderby con- tributed 34 and F. L. Hildebrand 21. The Burns Valley team followed on, and when time was called had scored 35 for five wickets, the visitors thus winning by the ample margin of 145 runs on the first inn- ings. H. C. Casidy, captain of the Pacific Cricket Club, is staying in Lake County for his annual vacation. There is no match of the California Cricket Associa- tion for to-day, the match at Alameda be- tween the Santa Cruz and Sacramento teams set down on the schedule naving already been played on July 27 on the oc- casion of the visit of the two countsy teams to San Francisco.
