did you ever see champion pugilist or
wrestler turned out by a gymnasium? said
Jack Carkeek, the wrestler, the other day.
mo, you did not, for the simple reason that
there never was one. The chances are there
never will be. a gymnasium is good enough
for consumptive or delicate people, but il a
man is not natural born athlete all the
gymnasium work in the world will not help
him on.

overdo their work. They become muscle

not trim right. There is no sense or reason

they seem too shy and suspicious to be tempted
by the various limitations. But we have heard
of several instances lately where they have
taken the phantom and whitehall minnows.
Another successful lure lately used is gang
made of one treble hook on gut with small
revolving spoon above. A San6-wom is
hooked on to this gang, and the bass, attracted
by the glistening spoon, rushes for the bait and
is captured. 1t should be troled slowly in
shallow water with eighty feet of line and no

him good knowledge OF fsticuffs. He
can tell exactly when man feels the eff

an excellent judge of punishment. He will

LAWN TENNIS.

The September Tournament Mt San

Players are now busily engaged practic-
ing for the tennis Tournament, which will
take place September 9th, at San Rafael.
1t will be the greatest double tournament
ever held on this side of the Rocky Noun
tains.
Oakland will put a strong team in the
court. Hubbard and Haight are very clever
batsmen, and if they can retain cool and
calculating heads during play the prize is
very likely to go over 10 the City of the
kiks. The Marx brothers intend TO enter
the East Oakland CLUBS representatives.
they will play a good strong game, but
they are not "up enough" in the sport to
compete with the older tennisists who can
stroke with ease and grace.
McGavin and Tobin would sell as the
favortes, by long odds, were there a tennis
table" and, in all probability, they will
win the tournament. Both are old and re-
liable players, don't get ratified. and play
together like clOckwork, TObin taking his
position at the net, McGaVin holding forth
in the back line. In these two positions,
they, respectively, hold the first places
among California players. and the combi-
nation, naturally. is a strong one. The
Eastern cracks always play at exactly the
same distances from the net at all stages of
the game, asserting that they can cover
more ground in this position than in any
other, also that Il is next to impossible fol-
their opponents to place ball cross courts
and between them.

Ex-champion walker Ell e. Holske, now
Philadelphia broker, had a long talk with
reporter few days ago on sports in gen.
eral. In the course of his remarks he said
among other things: "As / said before,
the best sculler in Australia is Jim STAINS
bury; next to him comes John Mclean,
then comes Peter Kemp, the self-styled
champion. There are hundreds Of other
scullers, but none capable of doing any
good work among the fast trio just named
Old Bill Beach has saved some money, and
lives on farm on the Paramatta in retire
ment. He looks we'll and contents himself
with shooting game for pastime. STAINS
bury is wonder, and it will take years to
find his equal. AS green man he rOwed
the late Henry Searle the toughest race the
latter ever had. l worked over two months
to create craze in demonstrating, and
then large prizes were offered for shooting
sweeps confined to Australians.
"The Americans should mete out the same
treatment to Australians in Amerira as the
Australians dole ont to the Americans in the
colonies. 1t would be fair exchange and
no robbery. They have real good pigeon
shooters there. Lew Clarke in particular.
He was beaten by nine birds by Brewer in
the first match, but improved so remarkably
that in the second match he won by killing
96 ont of 100 birds at thirty yards. The third
match was tie, with 95 kills each. In the
course of years he will be ld-beater.
The only way | can account for the Austria
liahS turning out such good men is because
nothing troubles them but sport, and when
they set out to practice they devote their en-
tire attention to making themselves per-
