parties out, and those that have returned
report fair catches. With another weeK of
saich weather the water in the streams
will be right for good fishing, as the
streams will have stopped carrying down
Mifiieient food and the fish will rise more
freely for the fiy.
The next of the series of matches be

recognized as one of the best shots in th<>
county. While Mr. Barker is interested
in all kinds of athletic sports his favorite
pastime is hunting the larger game, such
•r, eik and bear. Each summer he
takes a vacation and seeks the remote
sections of the country where game is
plentiful. Four years ago, far up on Mount
Shasta, he killed one of the largest cinna
mon bears ever taken in that section. Last
summer Mr. Barker, in company with
Messrs. Roof of Gilroy and Fallon of St.
Louis, hunted in the Olympic Mountains, in
the State of Washington, and succeeded in
taking a couple 01 elk, each of which
weighed in the neighborhood of 800
pounds.
SPORTING AT LOS ANGELES.
Cyclists Who Are Annoyed by Peo- i
ple Who Puncture Their
Wheels.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 9, 1895.— os |
Angeles is fast becoming one of the
most notorious cities in the State for cycle
thieves. During last month (April) they
averaged a wheel a day. Besides the
• thieving there is an epidemic of "punctur
ing" raging. The puncturists roam the
Btreets after dark, and whenever they see
a pneumatic tire lying around loose they
take a fiendish delight* in puncturing it,
so that when the unfortunate owner comes
out to proceed on his way he finds his
wheel about as much use to him as a fifth
wheel to a wagon. There are some news
paper reporters who are "laying low" for
these "puncturists," and it is more than
likely tnat the first one caught will be apt
to go home with a punctured head.
Jack Prince, the professional long
distance cyclist, who claims pretty much
every record in sight, is still in Los An
geles, trying to get up a match between
himself and any two horses for twenty
miles, horses to change «every mile, the
stake to be either $100 or $200 a side. .
The Los Angeles division of the League
of American Wheelmen is preparing a
roadbook which will show the best roads
in Southern California and Western
• Arizona for bicycle-riding. The new book
will also show the best routes to San Fran
cisco and Albuquerque, the desire being,
as Chief Consul Allen says, to make it the
best up-to-date roadbook yet published.
The first annual road race under the aus- ;
pices of the Santa Monica Bicycle Club
will take place at Santa Monica on Sun
day, May 12. .
"The Los Angeles Wheelmen have re
ceived sanctions from National Chairman :
Gideon for race meets on May 30 and 31, i
July 4 and November 9. The local racing
committee is also &rxa&£in£ dates for a iew I',1 ',
other meets, so there will be no scarcity of
track events in Los Angeles this year.
The seven-mile road race at Ventura last
week is criticized from all sides. "Every
thing was wrong and the management was
worse" seems to be the consensus of opin
ion. t
The prospects are good Tor good races by
the Los Angeles wheelmen on May 30.
The several committees are working like
beavers and are determined that nothing
shall happen to mar first-class sport.
The Los Angeles Pacific Field is a devel
oper. Last week it developed into the big
pest weekly paper exclusively devoted to
the interests of cyciists ever published on
the Pacific Coast.
STOCKTON SPORTING.
The Crews That Will Row In the
El Campo Regatta— The
Sprinters.
STOCKTON, Cal., May 11.— Much inter
est is taken here in the coining barge races
at El Campo on Decoration day. The
Stockton Athletic Association has made
some changes in the the crew it intends to
send down to compete in the senior race.
The crow will be composed of Frank
Butler (stroke), 11. C. Van Meter (forward :
waist). C. B. Hart (after waist), John Per- j
rott Jr. (bow), D. B. Trahern (coxswain).
Another crew may be entered in the junior
race with (Jus Grant stroke, R. C. Chap
man forward waist, Will Folger after
waist, Ernest Braunton bow, Trahern cox
swain. This has not been settled, but in
all probability two crews will go down.
The first-named crew is training hard, j
under the direction of Dave Creanor t a
veteran oar«man, and is rowing the Bob
Cook stroke.
The tug Estella has been chartered to I
take down a private party to witness the I
sports at El Campo and another will go i
down on the Budd launch. The athletic
association will probably charter one of
the river steamers to take its members
down. A race has been arranged for the
16th inst. between the crews mentioned,
and Walter E. Magee, physical instructor
of the University of California, will act as
judge. In the evening he will deliver an
illustrated lecture tinder the auspices of
the athletic association at Masonic Hall
on "Physical Culture." He will also ad
vise the directors as to the best apparatus
to be purchased for the new clubhouse, j
The association will probably hold a field
day at Goodwater Grove some time during
the coming month.
The city is now overrun with professional
sprinters ami a race is on for next Sunday
and another is in the wind for the 19th inst.
Some of the best men in the country are in
town looking for other people's money.

SPORT IN MENDOCINO.
"Nimrod" Sends an Interesting
Budget of Angling
Lore.
URIAH, Cal., May 9, 1895.— Patience
has ceased to be a virtue among those who
want to try their skill and luck with rod
and line. The warm weather does not
come and the anglers tarry no longer on
the order of going, but "go fishing" any
how.
Sheriff J. R. John3on of this county and
a brace of Sheriff Whelan's force of depu
ties of San Francisco, Messrs. Gibney and
Tracy, tried Robinson Creek a day or two
since. The stories they told had a trace
of fish in them, but the writer did not see
their baskets. The City Sheriffs have had
considerable experience too, it is said, in
deep water, and from the wharves, but this
kind of experience in rippling streams of
Mendocino is not always rewarded. They
say it is rather dull fishing with rubber
flies, and that hereafter when they go on j
the stream they are going to take a bottle
of flies of the real genuine article with
them. They want also to have a force of
men hired to cut out shrubbery and limbs •
of trees, as a portion of their fishing tackle ;
was left at various points on the stream,
high over their heads. The party, among j
whom was Mrs. Kernan, enjoyed an ex- j
hilarating drive, modest catch and deli j
cious lunch. Sheriff Whelan, himself, has
promised ua a visit, when he will study the
topography of the streams with the inten
tion of giving object lessons in fly-casting
to his deputies on his return.
Deputy Recorder M. B. Gibson, Marcus
Gibson and U. N. Brings were on Elledge
Creek before the sun on Sunday last.
These sportsmen believe in whipping
streams that have not been punished
much, and consequently work out beyond
the fringe of settlement, Mr. Briggs bap
tized his elegant new rod and initiated it
for the season. They made a good catch,
but prefer angleworms for bait to the
anistic fly, and they pay that at present
the trout prefer them also.
Dt. C. Cooper of Fresno is here on a visit
to his brother, .lames A., and to-Oay, with
his brother's family and his sister, Mrs.
Pierson, is in camp on one of our best

ing reports much joy and plenty of . trout. :
The doctor thinks he will stay all summer,
and pronounces this country a paradise
for the sportsman.
: H. F. Eastman, stewarfl of the Mendo
cino asylum, is our veritable Izaak Walton.
He is from Erie County. Pa., where he had
his first lessons. He has fished in some of
the best streams East and in Canada. He
kindly granted the writer an interview,
which .was very gratefully accepted, know
ing that the readers of the Call can learn
something in the magnificent sport of
angling from anything on the subject from
Mr. Eastman. He is a prominent member
of the IJkiah Sportsmen's Club, and an
enthusiast. The gist of his interview may
be best given in his own language, and runs
thus: "I have been a lover, of the sport
since childhood, and consider that there is
none other that offers 6O much pleasure
and healthful exercise as angling. The
true fisherman always is 'conscientious in
indulging in this favorite pastime, and is
mindful of the fact, that streams should
not be impoverished, nor other means
resorted to than legitimate. Fish ; that,
are under size, I believe, should always
be returned to the stream, if one has to go

life I violated my conscience, but for the
purpose of seeing how much of a catch I
could make in one day. I am afraid this
may be considered a 'fish story,' but I
sometimes regret that it is true. It was
on the Navarro River in this county, in the
vicinity of Anderson Yallej r and the North
Fork. "The trout took the *fly well, and I
could see that I was going to meet with
great success. I was 100 miles from home
and had promised to send some of my
catch to friends, so I dismissed all reserve
and fished until sundown. I was rewarded
with 210 pounds of trout, beauties, the
largest one weighing 6% pounds. I re
turned to the stream all lish under tweive
inches. These fish, strung out and hung
on the tent pole, reached from the top of
the tent to the ground. I shall never re
peat this offense and am glad to say it is
my only digression.
•'I consider the best fly for the early sea
son is either the 'Marlow buzz' or the
'gray hackle.' Later in the season the
'professor' and 'coachman,' with the
'black gnat,' as the best late summer fly."
When asked concerning the size of the
hook he answered : "I believe thatgener
allv the hooks used are too large. I con
sider Nos. 6 and 8 too large, andhave met
with the best success when using the No.
14 or 16. The good antrler is something
: like a good orator, the art cannot always
I be described, but must exist in the man :
j and the occasion. I would say though
that nature must be imitated, as proper
fishing is practicing deception, so far as
the game is concerned. One should make
his bait appear as natural as possible on
the surface of the water, and this means
that he should not fling his hook and drag
it over the surface.
"My best catch in the vicinity of Ukiah
was in Russian River, about seven miles
| north of the town. The two trout shown
I in the photograph were caught in one of
j small streams tributary to Russian River
and near the asylum."
"I have heard something about a dry-fly
cast, Mr. Eastman, will you kindly* de
scribe it for me?"
"Well, yes. If you will let me off now I
will give ft to you some time in the near
future."
So I am promised something interesting
in this line, which I will reserve for
another sketch.
The weather at this writing has turned
warmer and we may now expect better
sport in all the streams. Nimrod.

PRINCETON, N. J., May 4, 1895.—
The transcontinental track athletic
tour of the University of California will
long be remembered by the amateur ath
letes of California.
The field day at Denver will bo held on
June 22, although California has the
PRINCETON ATHLETES WHO WILL TRY CONCLUSIONS WITH THE XT. C. BOYS TO-DAY.
option of the 15th. The opposing team
will be made up by the Denver Athletic
j Club from its own members and picked
i athletes from the Colorado University.
There will be twelve events, the 220-yard
hurdle race and the mile run being elim
inated from the regular programme. Col
orado possesses no 220-yard hurdlers, and
the altitude— sooo feet— has never yet per
mitted a man to run a mile and live.
The games with the Chicago Athletic
Club occur on June 15, although Califor
nia again has the option — this time for
the 12th. The Chicago team is composed
of college men from the middle West,
strengthened by Turner, the great ex-
Princeton half-miler.
June 10 the California team will contest
either with the University of Wisconsin at
Madison or the University of Illinois at
Champlain. Illinois wod the middle West
championship of 1894, while Wisconsin
has the strongest team for 1895.
June 8 the Michigan boys want to try
conclusions at Ann Arbor with the coast
team. Here there is an option of the sth,
which will probably be taken.
The Western collegiate games will be
held in Chicago June 1. The California
team, having been admitted to the associa
tion, may compete; if not Syracuse Uni
j versity wants games May 29.
The great Eastern intercollegiate, the
Mott Haven games, occur in New York,
May 25, with trial heats the 24th. No
Westert college, save Michigan, has ever
competed in these games and the Univer
sity of California hopes to at least upset
some of the Eastern calculations. Yale or
the University of Pennsylvania seems
likely to win.
May 18 the California team tackles the
great team of the University of Pennsyl
vania in Philadelphia.
Only first places will then count. How
many can California hope for against
Ramsdell, Orton, Jarvis, Bucholtz, Leslie
and Knipe?
We have now gone far enough backward
to reach the first games, those with Prince
ton, Saturday morning, May 11. Princeton
is an historic old college, capable of pro
ducing "fine old gentlemen," and certainly
possessing many fine young ones.
The campus is beautiful and so are the
athletic grounds. There is a three-lap cin
der track, banked for the bicycle with a
120-yard straightway, though the high
hurdles are run on a grass course.
The weather here is as charming as a
spring day at Berkeley, and the water is
superior to the Berkeley water. Hence, I
see nothing save the fatigue incident to
traveling across the continent in five days
to detract from the performance of the Cal
ifornia team.
The sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers will
probably suffer the most from this.
Hence, I expect Scoggins and Barnes to
be defeated in the sprints, and Dyer and
Torrey to fall in the hurdles. Patterson
should win the jump, despite the journey.
The method of scoring will be five points
for first places, and three for seconds.
It is not to be expected that ■ the eames
will draw very largely, since they have to
be held in the rooming, and since Western
records are doubted here. All the colleges
speak highly' in praise ,of the energy dis
played by the university in attempting
such a trip, and of the all-around ability of
the team. There is a general desire to see
Koch and Edgren perform. *
After the games to-day the team to meet
the U. C. was chosen. There are twenty
three in 7 the team. Still the eleven from
the California seem to have sure winners in
I th.c quarter 1 and kali mile rung, tiie walk,
the two hurdle races, the high jump, the
hammer throw and the bicycle— i. c.,
eight out of fourteen events. The pro
gramme will probably be:
100-yard run— Lane, P. ; Scoggins, TJ. C. ;
Allen. P. ; Barnes, U. C. Lane has run in
10 1-5 and Allen in 10 2-5 sec.
Half-mile run— Love, P. ; Bradley, U. C. ;
Thacher, P. The Princeton men have not
bettered 2 mm. 6 sec.
120-yard hurdle race— Rogers, P.; Torrey,
U. C. ; Lusk, P. ; Dyer. U. C. The Prince
ton men have not bettered 17 sec.
Mile walk— McVitty, P. ; Mervin, U. C;
Smead, P. McVitty is credited with 7
mm. 30 sec.
220-yard dash— Derr, P. ; Barnes, U. C. ;
Jameson, P. ; Scoggins, U. C. Derr has
run in 22 2-5 and Jameson in 22 3-5 sec.
220-yard hurdle — Captain James, P.;
Torrey, IT. C.; Carter, P.; Dyer, U. C.
The Princeton captain has done 27 1-5
sec.
Mile run— Hall, P.; Bradley, IT. C;
Sterling, P. 4 mm. 50 sec. will stop both
Princeton men.
T«vo-mile bicvele, class A— Leland, P.;
Dozier. U. C. ; Parker, P. Leland has done
5 mm. 25 sec.
440-yard run— Brokaw, P. ; Rodgers, P. ;
Koch, U. C. ; Barnes, U. C. Brokaw might
run in 52 sec. if he thinks enough of his
great 50-sec. brother.
16-pound shot-put— Schmalhorst, P. ; Ed
wards, P.; Koch, U. C; Edgren, U. C.
Schmalhorst can put 37 feet 6 Inches.
High jump— Weber, P. ; R. L. North, P. ;
Patterson, U. C; Koch, U. C. Both
Princetonians have cleared 5 feet7X inches.
Broad jump— Rodgers, P. ; Garrett, P. ;
Woolspy, IT. C; Dozier, U. C. Rodgers
cleared 21 feet 10 inches this afternoon.
Pole vault— Tyldt, P. ; Trainer, P. Tyler
has cleared 10 feet 2 inches.
Hammer throw— Riggs, P. ; Rhodes, P. ;
Edgren, U. C. Rhodes broke the Prince
ton record to-day, throwing 102 feet 4
inches.
How much the travel will affect the
teams from Berkeley remains to be seen.
Personally, I think the good Princton
track will more than make amends for the
fatigue and that the Princeton tiger will
go down before the California grizzly.

Against Him.
The cut-in yesterday showed but ten bookies
on the block.
Sea Spray was the paddock tip for the "platz"
in the second race.
Playful and Charles A were backed off the
earth, but the clip proved too fast for them.
Ed Purser opened the day well by backing
Blue Bell and also had good bets down on Miss
Ruth and Miss Buckley.
Beginning on Monday next there will be but
five races each day and the first event will not
be called until 2 :30 o'clock.
The following good-sized bets were lately re
corded in the book of Jos. P. Ullnian & Co.,
Chicago, on the Ullman handicap: $0000 to
$300, $2400 to $300 and $900 to $300 straight,
place and show on Rudolph, the wagers being
made by G. \V. Hankins & Co. A bet of $3750
against $250 Reyel Santa Anita, $2500 against
$50 imp. Bathampton and $000 against $60
Dorian, are a few other large wagers recently
recorded.
The horse St. Jacob has been ruled off the
track. It will be remembered that the son of
St. Blaise won a hurdle race in which all bets
were declared off. The event was a selling
affair, and when put up to be sold the horse
was bid up several hundred over his entered
selling price, being finally retained by his
owner. The horse was removed from the track
that night by his trainer and the run-up
money remained unpaid. The club was re
cently in receipt of a letter from his owner, B.
McGinley, a resident of Montana, in which he
says that after consulting with several Mon
tana turfmen he has decided not to Bay the
run-up money, hence the action of the stew
ards.

The attendance at the track yesterday
was limited, especially so with the mem
bers of the fair sex, who undoubtedly pre
ferred some shaded nook in the park to
the sweltering heat of a racetrack. The
track was lightning fast and good time was
made in the different races. But two
favorites— Blue Bell and Midas— were suc
cessful in bringing home the money for
the talent, the remaining four events
going to outsiders.
The six-furlong handicap was the betting
race of the day. Howard was favorite
throughout the betting at 2 and 2% to 1,
but he by no means carried the bulk of
the coin. Charles A waa hammered down
from 8 to 5 to 1, and a big plunge on Play
ful cut her price from 8 to 7to 2. Quirt
opened at 7 to 2 and closed with fives about
her.
Overlooked, with 5 to 1 against her,
Circe, away fourth, jumped into the lead
and opened up a gap the field could never
close. She passed the judges four lengths
in front of Quirt, who beat Howard fully
five lengths for the place. It was a re
markably fast run— l:l3K-
The opening race at four and a hall fur
longs was a mere canter for the sto 2 fav
orite, Blue Bell, who led throughout, win
ning by two lengths from Tobey, an 8 to 1
chance. Julia Martin filly was a good
third.
■ But four decided to accept the issue with
Midas in the second evejit on the card, a
short six-furlong jaunt, and he went to the
post a 3 to 5 favorite. Commission and
Rico were both strongly backed for second
position.
Midas headed the others all the way,
winning easily from Sea Spray, who
downed Commission half a length for the
place.
The four and a half furlong race for the
"babies" was a very open betting affair,
Heartsease, Edgemuont, Rejected, Senator
Mahoney and the Gypsette gelding all be
ing stronuly backed.
The winner turned up in the Lone
stable's Edgemount,who went to the post 8
to 1 and won driving by a length and a
half from Heartsease, Senator Mahoney
was a close third. '
Opening at 8 to 5 for the fifth race, a five
and a half furlong spin over the inside
course, Morven was considered a "pipe"
and was backed down to 6to 5. Joe Cot
ton ruled second choice, with Miss Ruth a
strong third card. ' ". >;•
Morven ledall the way until the flat to
the wire was reached, when Miss Ruth
came from third place and beat him out a
length handily. Joe Cotton was a poor
third.
There was a long delay at the post in the"
last race, also a five and a half furlong run
over the main course, caused by the antics
of Sir Reel, Miss Buckley and Soon
Enough. The latter finally ran away with
his rider, bumping into the fence and
throwing him eft. When stopped opposite
the saddling paddock the horse was very
lame and was excused. The delay killed
the chances of the 8 to 5 favorite, Middle
ton, who is a thick-winded animal.
When finally sent away Nellie G and
Alaric, to all appearances, had the race
between them, and forty yards from the
wire were fighting heads apart for the
money. At this juncture Ilinrichs brought
Miss Buckley along with a rush from the
far rear and nipped the race by half a
length. Nellie (i downed Alaric a nose for
the place. ■„ „ . Mulholland. m
