L UhN6 really COUle 10 Tie COlCluSlOu
La Blanche is only trying to throw the club
in a hole for the treatment he received at
meeting held some months ago, when some
sports, who seemed to have more to say
than the Directors, tried their utmost to
badger him into signing articles for an
other fight with Dempsey. He has not
forgot the sting OF contempt which
was prodded into him that night
and his very actions now are good
proof that he means to give the Directors
all the annoyance he possibly can, even If
it costs him little money to do SO. The
Marine may say that three weeks was all
that he Will need to get In condition, but
common sense and good judgment ought to
convince the Directors that man Of his
calibre cannot train to 154 pounds from
$50 pounds in three weeks and fight
strong. La Blanche may underrate
Mitchell aud look upon the native
son as being a good soft snap, but even
though he may think so, | will be willing
to lay long odds that lie will not live up TO
the articles of agreement"

FISH AND GAME.
The State Board of Fish Commissioners
met yesterday morning and after transact
ing routine business heard the report from
f. p. Callund.n. Chief of Patrol.
CalluBdan stated that owing to the lack
of necessity for watching trout-streams
more time has been devoted to market and
bay-shore fishery inspection. 1t is be-
leved he stated that comparatively few
small fish are being destroyed, owing TO the
watch kept on the markets. No small bass
have been offered for sale since the passage
of tile ordinance prohibiting the sale of
striped bass weighing less than eight
pounds.
Explosives have not been used in the
rivers and only Indian ishing-traps and
poisoned food were found; but even these
have been removed. No violations of the
law were discovered last month on the Sac
ramento.
The traffic in female deerskins has been
broken up. The seized deerskns con-
signed to Sawyer u Co. are still held, and
it was recommended that they be kept until
an owner appears for them, with view to
prosecute him. Deer has recently been
killed in Marin County, and the hunters
were notified that the work was Illegal.
A demand has been made on the Board of
Supervisors for a third of the fines paid by
Chinese and others who were punished for
illegal fishing.
STORY OF DOG.
An amusing incident occurred last Sun
day at the Ocean View Coursing Park. An
expressman of this city named Flynn has
fast-running dog which was stolen from
him last Friday and entered in the old dog
cfo ol-a m a
when the spsrt was at its height ana
watched every race closely, in the hope OF
detecting his charge. The man who
usurped the "blue flyer" had him dyed So
the owner could not recognize him. The
dog defeated all of his opponents easily, and
at the finish of the final run he espied his
master The hounds joy was unbounded.
He leaped on his owner and showed such
marked signs of recognition that MIR.
Hymns temper finally became ungovern-
able, and in a moment of passion he kicked
the hound, but doggy" would not be
driven off and stuck close by his master.
The man who had changed the color of the
hound from blue to dark black enjoyed
the sport Immensely, and when tue COLI
course returned to the city he sent the dog
10 its owner, with card attached to the
collar on which was written, This is a
blue dog. but he was the dark horse in
yesterdays race
AMONG THE PUGs.
Con Riordan writes Jimmy JamisOn of
the Golden Gate Club that he will fight
Tom Fraker to finish in the Astoria Ath-
letiC Clubs gymnasium on June 18th. The
men had been previously signed to fight,
but R.ordan injured his foot while training
and the match had to be temporarily post
poned. The purse is $50. out of which
the loser will get $50. Riordan adds that
Dempsey, Gorman aud Campbe have gone
East.
Joe McAuliffe and Billy Madden will 90
to England in a few days. McAulffe has
cabed the Pelican Club that he will fight
Slavin under its auspices for the $4,000
purse offered. This match will create a
stir in pugilistic circles over the water, and
if Joe can whip Slavin he can by so doing
win barrel of money.

fornia State Agricultural Society are con-
sidering proposition to make an athletic
exhibition feature of the coming fair at
Sacramento.

tion of fighting Billy Murphy at the Cali
fornia Club for $1,000 purse.
The Golden Gate and Occidental clubs are
finding it difficult to procure pugilistic tai
ent. The local men who are out of engage
ments refuse to fight unless small fortune
is guaranteed them. The Golden Gates
have written "The Black PEARL at Minne-
apolis with view to matching him against
Turner of Stockton. He will probably ask
willing to give.
Mike Mccarthy and Billy Mahan may be
matched by the Golden Gate Club.

if he was given another chance at the Aus

Jimmy Carroll or Jack McAuiffe. William
has quite long tongue for man of his
weight.
o'CoNNoR IN AUSTRALIA
The following is an extract from letter
OF citizen OF Australia to relative in
New York:
William O'Connor has been in Sydney
now over month, and has not been able
to get on match. The Australian oars
men will not row him for the championship
because he is in no way entitled to it,
though many will row him for any honors
he may possess now, and after there has
been some ing for the championship he
will get a chance. But the Australians
chance of taking 1t without any fun, and
then themselves having to run all over the
world on the chance of getting it again.
OConnor made match with Stansbury Of
Sydney. on April 18th, to be rowed in June.
but not for the championship of the world"
The Standard Of April 10Th says: 1.-The
sculling championship question has got into
hopelessly mixed state, which is not per-
haps to he wondered at, seeing that the gen.
tlemen who rule the destinies of oarsmen
have double part to play-to pose before
the public as sportsmen and at the same
time make no match for their proteges un-
| less they can clearly see 920 for every $40
they risk. Matterson and Kemp were
matched in suspicously hurried manner,

way that McLean's hackers have wriggled
out OF match with the Canadian
| on the pretext of accepting Kemp's chal-
leDge is little short Of disgraceful.
Kemp is admitted to be interior to
