A WEEK OF SPORT
FALL RACING
SEASON OPENS
Capital City Wheelmen's
Big Meet a Week From
To-Morrow.
The Olympic Wheelmen, Asso
ciated Clubs and Vallejo
Also in Line.
The Bay City's Big Bun To-Morrow.
Other Club Events— The Ter
rills Still "Winning.
With the celebration at Santa Rosa on
Admission day the fall and winter season
of cycle racing on this coast opened, and
while it was an inauspicious beginning,
owing to the mismanagement of the pro-
DOLPMINS- JUNIOR BARGE CREW.
moters, the meets in prospect will not
suffer from this regard.
There is nothing in the way of racing on
hand for to-morrow, although there are
several club runs. Commencing with next
Sunday week, however, there ii the Capi
tal City Wheelmen's meet at Sacramento.
Then on October 3 comes the Olympic
Club Wheelmen's star event at the Velo
drome in this city; on the 10th is the
ten-mile handicap of the Associated Clubs,
while on the 17th a meet is spoken of to
be held at Vallejo. Sacramento will then
follow with another "return" meet, and
there is a prospect of the Bay City Wheel
men taking hold of one to be held at the
Velodrome.
The return of the professional cracks
from tneir extended northern trip will
tend to liven things in that class. Ziegler
did not come back with the others, and is
still nursing his Seattle bruises. He may
not ride again this year. The others are
in fine shape, and will all appear at the
Sacramento meet, and the others to
follow.
The Capital City Wheelmen of Sacra
mento are receiving a big entry list for
their meet a week ironi to-morrow. Ru«s,
Cook, Kenr.a, Mott and Wing are among
the prominent amateurs entered, besides
Hirsch, Leit-h, Payen, Peck and other
Sacramenio fliers. In the professional
class there will be all the prominent riders
of the coast save Ziegler who has not yet
returned from the north.
To-day is tne last day that entries may
be mailed to Sacramento to reach there
in time before the lists are closed. Riders
will be pleased to learn that the banking
of the track coming into the homestretch
will be raised. This was the one weak
point in the track, and it should now
prove to be the fastest oval in the State.
The Sacramento club has on its pro
gramme two of the greatest events ever
set before the followers of the sport. They
are the one-mile Pacific Coast champion
ship, to b-» competed in by both profes
sionals and amateurs, and tne one-isile
Associated Club*.' handicap, the latter
event for a pur.-*-* of $200, open to profes
sionals only. These, with the other
events scheduled, should present a most
interesting day's racing.
The Acme Club Wneelmen will have a
run o Pleasanton to-morrow, leaving the
c übhouse at 7:45 a. M.
Many are the riders who are in training j
now for the annual ten-mile handicap of
the association from Fruitvale to Hay- 1
wards on October 10. This race always >
attracts a big field. The Olympic trophy j
i- at stake in it, too, which lends added
interest to the clubs, panicul.-.riy to the
Acmes Imperials and Santa Rosas, who <
already have mortgages on this valuable I
cun. \\'YYY
Entries are limited to members of the
association and blanks and other infor
mation may be had of Chairman C. A.
Adams of the road racing board, at room
137, Phelan building.
The Velodrome will be opened next
week for training privileges for those who
propose competing at the Olympic Club
Wheelmen's big meet on that track on
October 3. Tickets for this privilege may
be had by addressing Captain hadenfeldt
at the club, or George H. Stratton, 501
Montgomery street. The otherclubs here
are lending the Olympics their hearty
support and the meet will be a big cycling
event. Box parties will be quite the
proper thing, and already two big blocks
of seats Lava been spoken for by the Bay
Cilys and California.*}.
Late advices have been received from
the Terrill brothers in France, as follows:
August 29 was the first day we raced in
Paris. Ben was in 'with Nossam and had him
beaten, hut was beaten out by a lew inches by
Buroite, whom he pulled through.
I was in with Morin, who is considered the
fastest man here, as he has won the Grand
¥ ixde Paris for thro* years. 1 beat him by
about ti mc es, but ho judges gave Morin the
decision. The public said I had won, and so
did Morin. However, although I did n i get
the decision it h s done me a great deil of
good, as they consider anybody who rides close
to Morin very good.
American riders are all riding gears much
too low. in America 1 had a great deal of
trouble keeping my m scles of. on account of
r din* a gear entirely too small. We are rid
ing 92-inch tears, and B bis going to change
to * higher one. We expect to change wheeiS,
too, shortly.
Harry Terrill recommends a gear as
h : ghas96for ordinary track-racing. _ He
says that a good rider, while finding him
self handicapped at first and probably
not showing his former speed in races,
will soon become accustomed to it
and be faster tban ever. Furthermore,
he will never grow stale with the high
gear, being always in form, as his muscles
are more thoroughly and evenly exer
cised.
In speaking of the Terrills, Bearings'
Paris correspondent has this to say :
Bob and Harry Terrill are doing the
provinces and are meeting with a f»:ir amount
of success. It is true their opponents are not
aiwitys of the same class as Morin and
Jacquelin, but it gives them a chance to win
a few events. They both raced last Sunday at
Amiens. Bob won the Grand Prix d'Amiens,
aeicating Deschamps. who is a ridsr of no
mean order, and Harry scored i_ the inter
national, lowering the colors of Mathieu and

The Bay City Wheelmen have a star at

where they will be the guests of their fel
low-members, Messrs. Snlazar and Galle

quantities of all the good tilings the earth
provides, and to have them stored there.
The Encinal Wheelmen, formerly the
Alameda Cyclers, will hold a five-mile
handicap road race Sunday, the L'Gth.
Herbert Clark will not ride, however, so
the race loses much of its interest. M. G.
Curtis of tne Encinals has postponed his
attempt on the Fruitvale-San Jose record
until the latter part of October.

Sportsmen are looking anxiously for
ward to the opening day of the season
when quail and duck may be lawfully
bagced.
The day of opening will fall on Friday,
Oc ober 1, but as a large percentage of lo
cal bill-.rampers and mud-splashers can
! not leave their places of business until
j the day alter the inaugural day of the
j season, those who are so fixed financially
j and otherwise as to be able to interview
wild game on the day of general slaugh
ter may look forward to some good sport,
provided, of course, the weati.er will not
be uo warm to engage in tramping over
held or marsh.
Unfortunately the game law has been
shamefully violated in many of the coun
i ties not far distant from this city, and it
i is well known to many local sportsmen
that for some weeks past wild ducks and
! quail have been shipped to this ciiy in
I butter boxes and disposed of at good prices
] to social clubs and to the proprietors of
j eating-houses.
SOUTH ENDS- SENIOR. BARGE CREW.
Some arrests have been made by the
game warden, but in almosteverv instance
the Police Courts allowed the offenders to
go scot free without even a reprimand,
it can be safely said, however, that the
officials who failed to recognize the law so
far as game is concerned will not be recog
nized favorably by the sportsmen at a
season of the year when votei are in de
mand.
The deer-shooting season in Marin
County closed on the 15th inst.— last
Wednesday — and the Game Warden who
resides in San Rafael will keep a close eye
out for law-breakers.
It is learned that quail are being shipped
from some parts of Main County to this
city in butter-boxes, but that is nothing
new. However, the Fish and Game Com
missioners may after all give some atten
tion to this illegal shipment of game in
butter-boxes to this city.
According to the appropriation the Fish
Commission has at its disposal "for the
restoration and preservation of game,"
$5000. PSSBQ
, Some of the money may be expended
in the employment of deputies who can
now find a good field for their tervices in
this city as game will arrive daily until
October L"
Frank Cumming, John Siebe, Frank La
Coste, Billy Brown, G. Domergue and John
Bergez enjoyed one of the grandestdeer
hunting trips .of the season a few days
ago.
The sportsmen wound up the season
for deer bunting on the Tamalpias pre
serve and the cracking of rifles was some
thing startling as twenty-t deer were
"jumped" by the dogs and r of that num
ber only three fell to the rifles of La Coste,
Brown and Bergez.
Cumming and Siebe ran out of ammu
nition early in tbe day and had to content
themselves in watching their more fortu
nate companions bowl over the big game.
Domergue says ne missed a deer as large
as a mule, and be is still wondering how
he failed to draw blood.
The inanimate-target shooters will en
joy great sport at Monterey during the
tournament which will commence to-day
and finish, to-morrow.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1897.
SOME LATEST
GRIDIRON NEWS
Wanderiug Olympics From
the Disrupted Team
Join Reliance,
Schedule of Games Readjusted
Since Army and Navy's
Collapse.
Coach Brooke and His System of
Training— Progress at Berke
ley.
The disruption of the Army and Navy
football team, first chronicled in The
Call, has been the most important piece
of gridiron news this week.
The immediate result of the break-up is I
OLYMPIC INTERMEDIATE CREW.
that Reliance has already secured from the
disbanded eleven "Pete" Smith, Sexton
and ''Tommy" Code. And these men hope
soon to be joined by Abe Lewis and Percy
Morse.
Fortunately, the adopted schedule of
i the season's games among the big four
; teams will not be greatly affected by the
withdrawal of one of the clubs. Reliance
will play the matches that the Army and
Navy team was to have bad with the two
universities.
The proposed Army and Navy match
with Reliance on November 20 will be the
only date canceled.
Following will be the schedule of games
r.t the new grounds, corner of Eighth and
j Harrison streets. AU but the last will be
played on Saturday:
October 2— California-Reliance.
October 9— Stanford-Reliance.
October 16— California-Reliance.
October 23-*-Bt»n ord-Reliauce.
October 30— California and Stanford Fresh
men.
November 6— California-Reliance,
November 13— --tanford-Reliance.
November Thanksgiving Varsity match.
It is unlikely that another Army and
Navy team will be organized, as it would
have to be composed of enlisted men, there
being no officers available; and privates
would not be in the playing class with the
three big teems.
The probable formation of the Reliance
team will be this: Center, Burnett or
Wells; guards, Hobbs and "Pete" Smith;
tackles, Sexton and Bert Oliver; ends,
"Eddie" Sherman and Lmyon, with pos
sibly Abe Lewis; Quarter, ■ "Tommy"
Code or Piatt; halfbacks, Captain Frick
and Carter, with: Percy Morse, perhaps;
fullback, A. Arlett or Felton Taylor.
These are only the most promising candi
dates.
In" addition to its match games with
California Reliance will play practice
games nearly every Wednesday afternoon
on the Berkeley .campus, Captain Frlck
having on last Thursday made provisional
arrangements to that effect with Man
ager Brown at Berkeley.
Reliance will have a chance to secure
far more good football material than it
can possibly use. It is to be regretted
that so many good players, because of no
bona-fide amatenr club to shelter them at
home, should become "wandering min
strels" and "crushed tragedians," to apply
two recently celebrated court phrases.
If Butte succeeds in being reinstated in
amateur standing then its prospective
came with Reliance • will be played in
Montana. ' V
Recent favorable developments at
Berkeley have done much to dispel the
fear at Palo Alto that Stanford men,
mindful of their great victory of last
Thanksgiving and of the return of so
many veteran players, would be over
confident and inclined to neglect their
training.
At Palo Alto the past week it has been
so warm and the new grounds in such a
wretched condition, owing to lack of
water and proper top dressing, that the
players have been unable to i_et much
profitable practice. -All of them are stiff
and sore from their preliminary work.
Coach Brooke not only takes well with
the Stanford students, but he also wears
well. He is in no sense of the phrase "a
grand stand man," but goes quietly about
his work, giving his instructions wherever
they seem most needed.
The preliminary,* work assigned by
Brooke differs from that of tbe old Yale
coaches. There is no gymnasium exer
cise, no long, exhausting runs to develop
wind, but, instead, all the work is done in
the field. First, he has every one punting
and catching. Then large circles are
formed, and the ball is rolled about and
dropped upon by each man in succession.
Later, players are divided into squads.
Certain of the backs usually; get in one
end of the field, a center passes the ball to
a fullback, who punts to the backs/and
the various squads charge down the field
in relays. Their business is to tackle and
down the man running with the ball.
1 Such practice as this affords very little
opportunity to judge of the merits of the
various players, yet already the work of
Ray Smith "'99, woo took Jeffs' place at
end during the last half of the. last
Thanksgiving game, is attracting some
attention. Perhaps it is because he has
had better opportunities that his worK is
noticeable.
Of the freshmen, Wilson, a halfback
from Los Angeles, is showing up very
well. He has been appointed temporary
captain of the freshman team.
Next Saturday the freshmen will -lay
Belmont School. This game will afford
the first opportunity of estimating the
strength of ti.e new men.
It is very probable that Wyckoff will
not represent Stanford in any of this sea
son's football games. Although a com
paratively light man, weighing about 150
pounds, he is probably the best and most
reliable fullback on the coast, but univer
sity work and the fact that he is married
will probably keep bim out of gridiron
contests.
It is an open race for the honor of doing
Stanford's punting during the season of
'97. "Chet" Murphy has lost none of his
skill as a kicker, but there are two, or per
haps tiireo other men, who are possible
candidates. Forrest Fisher, the bucking
halfback, is one of them. As yet be can
not handle punts well, but he has an en
couraging way of driving them down the
field after once landing his instep against
the ball. rgfpSf
Beckett, the pitcher and a tackle on
lust year's freshman team, is, though a
trifle slow, punting fairly good distances.
The other man is Ray Smith. Last year
he was never known to Kick a ball, but he
is doing so now.
Daley, a halfback on last year's fresh
man team, and Garth Parker, sub-half-
back last year, are the two dark horses for
varsity honors.
Parker is a strong defensive player and
a shifty dodging runner with the ball.
Coach . Clemans '93 was very much
pleased with his work last year.
Dailey is a rushing, headlong player
who fears nothing and is always deter
mined to advance the ball at any cost.
At the University of California work
on the football field has begun in
earnest. Every afternoon the men are
given practice in catching, in running, in
tackling and in falling on the ball.
Sheehy, the big ex-Olympic guard, who
has just entered at Berkeley, was out for
the first ti^ne Wednesday with the other
candidates. Great things are expected
from him and from Gurbjrson, the big
freshman, who, in spite of previous lack of
football experience, is rapidly getting into
form. V V
Football Manager Brown of Berkeley
announced yesterday afternoon that in all
probability Frank Simpson, the tackle on
last year's football team, will play again
this season. Simpson is attending the
Toland Medical College. At the begin
ning of the terra it was not expected that
his work would permit him to try for
football honors.
Changes are being made daily and the
men are being tried at different positions.
Percy Kail, who played halfback on last
year's eleven, is being tried at end and
•Jimmy Hopper behind the line.
It is too early to forecast the probable
makeup of the California team. By the
end of another week, however, the foot
ball material will have been somewhat
sorted.
The Berkeley freshmen will play a
number of games with minor elevens be
fore they go against Stanford on October
30. Among the teams they will play are
San Mateo School, Belmont School and
Santa Clara College.

DRAW FIGHTS
NOT POPULAR
Sporting Men Do Not Ap
prove of the Eastern
System.
They Want a Winner to Be
Named in All Twenty-
Round Contests.
Pony Moore Says That a Babe Can
Whip Jackson in His Present
Condition,
If the sporting clubs of this city are de
sirous of upholding boxing contests and
cater to the wants of the people who pa
tronize the game of fisticuffs they must
, sit down hard ' upon what are termed
"draw" fights. There i* no occasion for a
"draw decision in a contest of twenty
rounds, and any good referee who has the
courage to announce his opinion regard
less of the fact that it may ba hissed by
those who .gambled on the. defeated man
will most certainly have the support and
well wishes of all thorough sportsmen.
A referee of a boxing contest cannot
possibly please all those who witness a
fight by deciding in favor of any one man
unless the contest ends in a knockout, and
even then some people will be heard to
remark that "If Mr. Referee had done his
duty and separated the combatants when
they were clinched, so and so would have
won beyond a shadow of doubt."
The referea of a prize-fight has no very
pleasant position, and as stated before his
decisions are invariably questioned by
some people, who are, as a rule, natural
born kickers.
Instead of chiding a referee for having
decided in favor of the man whom he be
lieved to bj honestly entitled to a de
cision, the managers of boxing clubs
should most assuredly encourage and up
hold him, regardless of what the squeal
ers who may have lost a dollar or so on
the contest believe or think.
It must not be forgotten by the sport
lovers of this city that in the Eastern
cities the death of boxing was attributed
to too many "draw" fights. The sports
became disgusted with draw, draw, draw,
and they finally ceased to patronize the
game in consequence.
The story of how Eastern boxing was
killed reads as follows:
Mr. Kill-me-quick and Mr. Sure-shot,
noted pugilists who were a bit anxious
about their records, could not agree on
the question of weight possibly half a
pound or so — and rather than disappoint
SOUTH ENDS- JUNIOR 6ARGE CREW.
the people they finally agreed to a propo
sition made by the manager of whatever
club tuey were to do battle in, and that
was to box a draw and divide so much
percentage of the receipts after the man
ager bad his whack.
This thing went along all right for a
tim*, out the people who paid the piper
finally became disgusted and remained
away from the prearranged scrapping
matches. Of course that ended every
thing or no money, no fights.
It looks very much as if the same old
game is to be introduced here, and now
the question is, Will the people stand it?
San Francisco is said to be full of fish,
commonly called suckers; or it is a jay
town, according to some Thespians. How
ever that may be, there is a time and place
for all things, and the managers of boxing
clubs will do well to put on their thinking
caps, as the local sports who patronize
fisticuffs are getting pretty well disgusted
witb draw fights and. the divide of the
purse or percentage between the scrap
pers. *
A referee who understands anything
about boxing can easily determine which
of two men who contest twenty rounds is
entitled to a victory; and although the
award may be beyond question the referee
must always expect a hiss from the small
losers of a professional boxing contest. •
; Sam Fitzpatrick. the noted |trainer and
handier of pugilists, who picked up "Kid"
Lavigne from among the salt barrels of
Michigan and who helped him to victory
on many occasions, has a new candidate
to public favor in the light-weight class.
Sam has taken Jack Daly of Wilmington,
Del., in char.*e. Daly is of the Fnzsim
mons construction: long of reach, tall and
rangey, and can easily make the light
weight limit. It i*. said that under the
care of Sam Daly will soon attain cham
pionship form.
• Peter Jackson unexpectedly arrived
from the- land of roast beef and plum
pudding a few days ago, and according to
the dispatches be will soon be journeying
to bis old favorite haunts In San Fran
cisco. Eastern reports state that Peter is
looking like his former self and has one or
two good fights left within him yet. It is
to be hoped the reports are true, aa Jack-
I son has innumerable well-wishers in this
city who would co a long distance- to see
a return match— which, by the way is a
long time coming— between Peter and the
ex-champion, Jim Corbett. t
Jackson has for years hanfcered after a
second meeting with the now successful
baseball referee, who is said to be making
money umpiring the national came in the
East while Champion Fitzsimmons is
trying to find out where he is at.
"Pony" Moore has a poor opinion of
Jackson. In a recent interview he said:
"Peter will never fight again. He is a
shadow of his former self. I think a babe
could whip him in his present state.
. The fights arranged* for the near future
are Solly Smith and George Dixon before
the Knickerbocker Club, and George Wol
cott and "Kid" Lavigne before the Occi
dental Club. The National Club may
match George Green and Owen Zeigier.
The monthly amateur exhibition of the
Excelsior Athletic club takes place on
Tuesday evening, the. 28th inst., at the
ciubrooms. Eighth and Folsom streets.
The event oi tne evening will be a four
round go between Jimmie McGrath, a
protege of Young Mitchell, and Charles
Dixon of the San Francisco Athletic Club.
A decision will be rendered.

THE YACHTSMEN.
Another Small- Boat Regatta to Be
Hold Next Month.
At a meeting of the Corinthians on
Thursday evening it was decided to hold
a small-boat regatta in conjunction with
their annual games on October 10. The
regatta will be . for yachts under twenty
feet racing length, and will be open to all
recognized yacht clubs on the bay.
The idea of the race is to have the boats
anchored in line at the start and at a spe
cified time a preparatory gun will be fired,
and ten minutes later the starting signal
will be given. The yachts are then sup
posed to slip their cables, hoist sails and
sail over the course and at the finish again
anchor. It is thought the race will be
■ailed over the El Campo course, as it
proved a splendid one for small boats. -
The Corinthians have also appointed a
committee of seven to prepare a suitable
entertainment for their closing day on
Octolerl6.
