Eastern Kennels Will Lend New Life to the Sport. OURSING men with fleet greyhounds ‘ are preparing their charges for the sgeventh renewal of the ladies’ day champion stake. This valuable event will be decided at Union Coursing Park July 6, and will be the feature of a three days’ meeting. It is limited to sixteen hounds and al- attracts the best in the State. The = | entrance fee is $25 for each dog. T‘he Union Park management will add $620, making a total purse of $1020. The purse is apportioned by a committee of the nom- irators on the night of the draw. It is expected last year's division will be ad- hered to. Under this the winner receives $2 runner-up $200, next two $160 each, and to next four $50 each. The dog beat- en in the first round by the ultimate win- receive $40, that beaten by the runner-up $30 and by third and fourth $25 esch. : A sapling stake and a reserve stake will | be run to a conclusion to-day at Union Park. A class reserve stake will be run dewn once. The remaining rounds, with a special stake and a consolation event, vill form to-morrow's card. The likely mers look to be: apling stake—Real Pasha, Tricksy and May rve stake—Melrose, Game Bird, Dragon | rockett Hill, Partial Eclipse, Rustic Ar- bor, Lily Wright and Eastlake. —Jennie Noys, Sugarcane, Black Coon, Aeneas, Gold Hill, Real Aristocrat, Va- grani, Gay City, Rollicking Airs, Little Sister, Cloudburst, Glaucus, Fly by Night, Sempgonius. Miss Brummel, May Hempstead, White Hat, O'Hara, Yellowtail, Piker, Flower of Gold, Motto, Miranda and Prompto. 1_stake—Silver Cloud, Cascade, Roy er Boy, Vandal, Tyrone Prince, Game Boy, Tame Tralee, Paio Alto, Dewdrop, erator, Tralee Boy, Ireland, Fair Oaks, Full Moon and Rural Artist The careful manner in which A. R. Cur- tis handles the best dogs in his kennel should be an object lesson to other own- ers. Beacon, Rector, Flying Fox, Luxor and other cracks are handled like stake horses, being sent for only the most im- portant events. They show the effects of this care, coming out fresh each time and invariably getting their share of the prizes. Many great young greyhounds have been ruined by being run too fre- quently and in not getting sufficient time to recover from the effects of hard coursing. P. J. Horgan has bred Maid of the Mill, by Skyrocket, to T. J. Cronin’s Wild Tra- lJée. This is expected to prove a great cross. J. Tierney has bought Partial Eclipse from Mr. Horgan. The Concord Driving Club has pur- chased sixty acres of land near Concord for the site of a racetrack. Ten thousand doliars will be spent on it immediately. The infield, which is pronounced admira- bly adapted for the purpose, will be used for coursing. Many men near Concord are interested in greyhounds, and a meeting will undoubtedly be held there this winter. George Shannon thinks so well of his new greyhound Happy Butte that he will course it here. He knows the class he will meet, but has great hopes of the Los Angeles greyhound distinguishing {tself. e management of Union 'ark an- nounces a_puppy stake will be run on July 12 and a sapling stake on the 19th. The second payment of $250 on the Cal- ifornia Futurity stake will be due July 1. The remaining payment of $5 will be due on the night of the draw. The stake will be run in September. ——————— SAN RAFAEL GOLFERS TO PLAY A HANDICAP This afternoon on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club there will be a handicap stroke competition for men and women over eighteen holes, in place of the mixed foursomes set down in the schedule. During the past week H. M. Sears of Los Angeles Country Club, amateur champion of Southern California, has been playing on the San Rafael links. He drives a remarkably long ball, one of his drives being 240 yards in the carry. Though the course was entirely new to him and is a difficult one to a stranger, he covered each eighten holes in 9 to 94 strokes. Three rounds, or twenty-seven holes, showed an average of 45 strokes for each round. The club trophy, which takes the place of the former Council’s cup and carries with it the match play championship of the San Rafael Golf Club for men, was won last Saturday by D. E. Skinner, who defeated J. J. Crooks 3 up 1 to lay in the final round over 36 holes. 8:1 the first two rounds J. J. Crooks was 4 up against his opponent, but in the last two rounds D. E. Skinner played a strong game, being dormie 2 at the thirty-fourth hole. Taking the thirty-fifth, he won the match 3 up 1 to play. For the Women's cup, which takes the place of the former Council's cup for women, and carries with it the ladies’ championship of tha club at match play, Mrs. F. 8. Johnson beat Mrs. Georie Heazelton 3 up 2 to play over eighteen holes. In the final round over thirty-six holes for the consolation tay. or second eight prize, E, J.

REPARATIONS for P championship rowing regatta on Lake Merritt, July 4, are being made, and the prospect for a highly sucessful event is good. The Portland Rowing Club will send a four-oared crew and a single-sculler. President W. B. Hinchman of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Unfon has received the entry of a junior barge crew and sin- gle-sculler from the Stockton Athletic As- sociation. The entries close at 8 p. m. on Monday, the 30th inst., at the Olympic Club. It appears the South End Rowing Club will have no senior barge crew, but it will be represented in the intermediate and junior barge races. The intermediate barge crew of the club is going out near- ly every night for practice, and should give a %ood account of itself. It consists of Dr. C. C. Dennis, bow; Ed Wolf, No. 2; J. P. Foley, No. '3, and Frank Baker, stroke. The intermediate and junior barge crews of the Ariel Rowing Club are going out every mnight from the South Ends’ house. The Ariel Rowing Club has been in ex- istence for thirty years and will celebrate the event next month by a banquect. Al- though several members have left the club since the boathouse on Long Wharf had to be abandoned, the rest have held together, and after a hard struggle to maintain the club's existence are very hopeful. The finances are in good condi- tion and the construction of the proposed new boathouse will soon be begun. The membership roll is growing, seventeen members having been initiated at the last meeting. These were Dr, J. J. Crow- ley, Henry Thompson, Thomas F. Quinn, Patrick McNamara, H. J. Lewald, M. J. SHort, Edward Murphy, Andrew Quinn, Frank W. Wolff, J. J. Ade, Harry Reilly, A. Levine, Fred Butler, Albert Wheelan, Albert J. Aréns and Thomas . Mulvey. It is expected 'from fifteen to twent- new members will be initiated at the next meeting, and that the club roll will be filled to its limit of one hundred members, Soon after the regatta on July 4 the club will hold a schooner trip and clambake, the arrangements for which are bein made by a committee consisting o George McGuinness, Henry Lester Thomas Quinn, William Howeé and BE. J. Lynch. the annual ———— CRICKETERS TO PLAY IN GOLDEN GATE PARK A Pacific Eleven Will Try Conclu- sions With a Team of Players From Marin County. There will be a match on the recreation grounds in Golden Gate Park to-day be- tween an eleven of the Pacific Cricket Club and a team captained by C. P. Coles, who is residing at Sausalito. The Marin County representatives will be C. P. Coles, R. M. Mason, C. Bull, A. F. Chambers, the Rev. A. B. Karney, T. Andrews, A. Westwater, W. G. Sellwood, Gtel?rge Hellman, J. M. Punnett and oné other. The Pacific Club will be represent- ed by H. C. Casidy, captain; F. Bennion, A. E. Ackom, E. A. M. Lannowe, J. J. Theobald, T. J. A. Tiedemann, C. M. Storrs, Dr. G. W. Birdsall, O. E. Chand- ler, Courtney Bennett and W. Triplet. To-morrow the Alameda team, accord- ing to the schedule of the California Cricket Assoclation, was to Have jour- neyed to Sacramento to play its first match of the season against the Sacra- mento Cricket Club. But, much to the regret of the city cricketers, the game has been declared off. The Sacramento Cricket Club, having been deprived of the services of H. R. and H. F. Elliott, the two strongest players in_ the team, and also having lost Mack of Fair Oaks, feels compelled to withdraw. The cricketers of San Francisco and vicinity hope the Sacramento Club has not retired perma. nently from the contests for the pennant of 1902, but that later in the season it will find {itself able to play the matches set down on the schedule, especially those against Santa Cruz in August. If a Sac- ramento team is made up later in the year to-morrow’s match against the Ala- meda eleven might be played on one of the open dates convenient to both clubs. The defeat of the Alameda team by the Pacific eleven Jast Sunday places the wearers of the scarlet and black in a fa- vorable position for the pennant of 1%02. Their percentage reads as follows: Games played, 4, won, 4; lost, none; percentage, 100.” If the Sacramento team does not play any of its matches two will be for- feited to the Pacifics, whose standing will read as follows: Games, 6; won, 6; lost, none. The Pacifics will then haye one match to play against Santa Cruz and three more against the Alameda team. Of these they may reasonably be expected to win at least 50 per cent, which would give them a percentage for the season of §0. As the Alameda eleven has already lost three matches it cannot Bet a higher percentage than 70, even if it should win, by default or defeat of its opponents, all its remaining matches. g SYNOPSIS OF STATE’S GAME LAW NY man who owns a rod Aor a gun, or who lives in hope of possessing one of these health-giving imple- ments of sport, would do well to preserve a copy of the game law of this State, a synopsis of which, compiled by the Board of Fish Commis- sioners, is herewith pre- sented. In coneise form it contains the beneficent rules by which it is hoped to pre- serve the game of the State. Without these restrictions it would be but a matter of time when there would be no deer, no quail, no trout at large in the forests or in the public streams.

DDIE HOUSEHOLDER, Morley's E heavy-hitting center fielder, has been chosen to captain the Angels. He takes the place of Reilly, who resigned and refused to again accept the responsibllity of steering the southern swingers into pennant harbor. . It remains to be seen how the fhew leader- will handle the players. | Householder was never popular outside of Los Angeles, but nevertheless he is a great ball player and always out to win. It is easy to manage the Angels when they are winning games, but the captaln has a variety of trouble when the team goes the toboggan route. The Ponies and the Angels are making an interesting fight for second place in the race for the flag. From indications the Ponies have the upper hand for the present at least, and should better their condition during the coming series with Mike Fisher's Senators. There never seems to be any enthu- siasm in the games across the bay ex- cept when the O?ldanda are playing. The other teams put up a Soos article of ball, but the suburban fans never seem able to appreciate it. Kane is beginning to prove a surprise to many of the wise ones, who imagined he was a gold brick. He has already won two games this week against the south- erners’ best pitchers, and will probably be given another chance to-morrow. If he wins three in one week he wili have the record all to himself, Manager Harris. of the Ponics states that within a month he will have under | his charge the, fastest team of pall play- ers that ever chased the sphere on a California dlamond. The ball market is be- ginning to loosen up, and the local mag- n‘nte dhfl' four or five new stars all but signed. g McCreedie still continues to ham- mer the ball around the lot. If ne keeps up his present gait he will be in a class by himself within a short time. Mac, urlike most premier stickers, does not slug the ball, but gets mos% of his hits | on _singles over the inflelders’ heads. | Elmer Meredith seems to be che losing twirlér of the Pony aggregation. At tho beginning of the season he was the only winner, but hard luck has attacked the clever 'little southpaw and he generally has one bad inning, which always proves disastrous, Now that Rube Waddell has blown out of the stronghold of the balmr south it looks as though the Angels will receive a seyeres shock. Waddell was the best ball player in. the league, and his presence in- CANOE SAILING IS HAZARDOUS BUT POPULAR Oakland Club Has Many Experts Among Its Members. Swimming Is a Necessary Accomplishment for the Sailors. AKLAND Canoce Club was founded O on January 23, 1886, with fourtéen charter members, among whom were W. W. Blow of the canoes Mystic and Zephyr, A. Dalton Harrison of the canoe Flirt, Hervey Darneal of the canoes White Cap and Zoe Mon and W. G. Morrow of the canoe Volant. The boathouse of the old Mystic Boat club, which stood on Oakland Creek at the foot of Alice street, was bought and remodeled to suit the purposes of the canoe club. The quarters of the club ars situated on Sessions Basin, near Clinton station, and contain a large boatroom, a clubroom, dressing-room, ladies’ room and pantry. The sailing course stretches for two miles up the creek and for three miles down the bay. 3 The officers of the Oakland Canoe Club are as follows: Commodore, Philip Ca- duc, owner of the big sloop Annie and the half-rater Zephyr; vice commodore, How- ard S. Byxbee, owner of the slocp Ni- nette and the canoe Whim; secretary, Charles Stewart, part owner of the sloop Beatrice. On Decoration day, Independence day, snd Admission day, the Holiday cup is raced for, and four times during the year the Mayrisch badge Is sailed for by the canoelists. On these days the members receive their friends, providing them with luncheon and dinner, taking them out for cruises on the creek and amusing them with sailing and swimming races. At night a dance is given in the boathouse, The weather on the creek on May 30 of this year was so stormy and rough that it was found impossible to carry out the canoe races, which will probably be held on the 29th inst. On an early Sunday, when the tide is suitable, the canoeists will cruise to the boathouse of the Enci- nal Yacht Club at Alameda and will hold races off the Alameda shaore. The flag of the Qakland_Canoe Club is a pointed burgee 10 by 15 inches in di- mensions, having a white star on a blue disc in the center of a red fleld. L e e e e e e spired the Angels with a deal of confi- dence. His action, however, was expect- ed all along, and Connle Mack will be a lucky man if he holds the erratic south- paw as long as Morley did.

Fly Fishing Is Reported | Good at Webber Lake. ROM advices received by the officers Fo(’ the California State Fish Commis- sion, the law prohibiting the sale of trout weighing less than half a pound is already showing beneficient re- sults. It has had the effect of reducing the number of market fishermen, as it does not pay them to fish when there is such a strongly defined line drawn between what they may and may not seil. Large fish, those greater than a pound in weight, are being taken in numbers from the Sacra- mento and from the Truckee. Five and six pound trout are being taken near Truckee. Deputy Fish Com- missioner Welch saw one man near Truckee on Saturday with eight fish which averaged three pounds each. The anglers are using the brown hackle, gray hackle with yellow body and the Reuben Wood. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Cooper and George ‘Walker have returned from a two weeks' outing on the Upper Sacramento. The sport was getting better every day up to_the time their vacation ended. , There are said to be more large fisn between Le Moyne and the headwaters of the Sacramento, some forty miles | above, than ever before. This is especial- Iy noticeable above Dunsmuir. The angling is good in front of Shasta Springs. the trout ranging from one to two and a half pounds in weight. All the small streams emptying into the Sacramento are sald to be full of fish. These are not as large as those taken from the main stream. The trout have just commenced to rise at Webber Lake and are taking the fly C. J. Stovel has been one of the most successful of the anglers there. He land- ed a 41-pound Loch Leven after a gre battle and lost one which, from his ap- pearance and strength, he thought must have weighed seven pounds. . C. Kinsey sent down a fine box of fish from Independence Lake on Wednes- day. There are many anglers there, all getting good returns. A market fisher- man took eighty fish in two hours. With a companion he caught 115 peunds in a day. These men flshed from rafts, each man using three rods. These are light bamboo affairs, such as are used by the boys along the wharves. The fish are ali taken on bait, a method which the fly- fishermen scorn. Reports from Tahoe are not as encouts aging as from the other mountain lakes, eing taken. o éf’m',’mlfg, W. C.
