in the HandbalI Courts.

Some Well Contested Games Played
in the Handbail Courts.
There was some Lively tossing in the
handbaIl courts yesterday and the large
crowd Of spectators who witnessed the
games were thoroughly satisfied With the
sport.
For once the courts were 10 excellent con-
dition and the floors were perfectly dry,
ewing to the continued fair weather during
the past two weeks. The amateur, too. was
conspicuous by his absence, and his better
verssd professional brother did much to en-
liven the sport.
AS usual, the accommodations at RYan's
court proved wholly inadequate TO accom-
MEDIATE the large crowd Of spectators
brought out by the fine weather. They
crowded the benches in the grand stand
and were liberal ia their applause when a
good play was made.
The event of the day, as usual, was triple
handicap between John Jones, the cham
piOn of Australia, and CasBin and Nc
Mahon two wel-known local players.
Toy and Nelson opened the days sport
by playing a Well-c0ntested single, which
was Won by the former 10 two straight
bouts with score Of 1910, 15-9.
In the doubles which followed, the first
game was between Connolly and Primer
and Nelson and Morris. Tie bout was
won By the former team after a weil-played
game, with the close score Of 15-8, I2-15,
15-11.
Donohoe and Collins were next defeated
3 T5soF' aud Lennon score l5-'' l0-l''
The triple handicap between Professor
Jones ana Cashin and McMahon was next
played.
The bout was for the best three out Of
five games Of q aces each.
The Kangaroo did not appear 10 be in his
usual form, and after winning the first
game lost the succeeding two bouts Jones
warmed up to the lively tossing toward the
end OF the game, however. and finally cap
tured the next two games after an exciting
struggle, in which all the points were well
contested.
The score st the finish stood In jones'
favor, as follows: 21-14. 16-21, 13-2l,
21-I6, 2l-I7.
A match has been arranged between VIII
liam hyde and Austin Hendry, two we'll
known local amateurs. The game will be
played at Ryan's court next Sunday for a
purse of $50 Each OF the contestants de-
posted a forfeit with Phil Ryan, manager
Of the court, as guarantee.
Professor Jones, the instructor, has been
named referee Of this game, and good bout
Is promised.
There was a large crowd of spectators at
the Union handball court where some good

The morning call., 1893-01-09

A perfect day, good roads, big crowd of
ladies and gentlemen we'll known socially,
a picturesque route and a general spirit CT
jollity made the occasion one of the most
delightful affairs ever known in the local
bicycle world. The young travellers are
about TO proceed eastward, and probably
the wheelmen here will not have another
opportunity to meet them.
When they accepted the Invitation to be-
come better acquainted with the cyclists of
San Francisco it was arranged that run
should be made through the park to the
ocean beach, To the Preside. by way of
Point lobos avenue, and over the fine
dTiveways 10y the Golden Gate-as varied
and picturesque a route as there Is within
fifty miles Of San Francisco.

pace would not be set beyond comfortable
gait. The guests of the day. Messrs. Allen
and Sachtleben, were delighted with the
trip. Having discarded their old English
pneumatics, which after careful istudy they
have decided TO ride from this city to New
York, by the Southern route, starting to-
morrow OF next day. Their paths in this
city have indeed been pleasant. On Wednes-
day last, after an enJovable hour at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. FOwden, they were enter
tain ed by the Bay City Wheelmen. On
Thursday night the ladies' annex of the San
Francisco Bicycle Club made the evening
seem all too short, and on Saturday night
the gentlemen of the same club told them
about our glorious climate at smoker.
Yesterday afternoon at the CALL Office,
they were presented by Henry F. Wynne,
on behalf OF sthe California Cycling Club,
with two beautiful solid silver arrows, the
emblem OF that progressive organization,
which they will wear across the contine MT.

The first meeting of the eharmen Of
standing committees OF the League OF
American Wheelmen was held on Friday
evening. Several measures for tho improve
ment of roads was discussed, and it WAS
resolved to take some action before tho adj
jouTnment OF the Legislature. probably in
the way of a bill making wide tires on
heavy vehicles imperative. Chairman Ber-
nays was authorized to distribute copies OF
Good Roads" where they will be Of the
most service.
The committee on rights and privileges
determined to take aggressive action re-
garding the reckless way in which the lives
Of bcycle-rideTs are endangered by reck-
less riders in the park. A committee of
prominent league members will probably
be appnip ted TO confer with the commission

a secret ballot could be secured by the
league. His plan met with general APP
prevail and will be recommended to the
national assembly.
Several amendments to the constitution
and bylaws we're submitted, but not finally
acted on.
Chairman Smyth of the racing committee
stated thatit was yet too early to accom-
plish much, but it was evident that a
national racing circuit official should be
located nearer than Denver.

Faulty Milk.

A Wisconsin man is having faulty milk
to deal with, and wishes to know the
cause of his cream having brick-colored
scum on it. Cows are evidently in good
condition, and have no change either in
care or feed. They have corn fodder,
hay, straw and bran every day. He is
milking seven cows, and churns three
times week. All paiIe, cans and uten-
sils are thoroughly cleansed after each
using. Yet there was red brick colored
scum on each of the three churnDgs Of
cream last week and little trace OF it
on the first churning this week. Cream
appeared frothy, and the butter obtained
from it was not good. 1t seemed savy
and light colored.
The red brick colored scum is probably
caused by some physical injury to the
udder OF some cow OF the herd, or pos
sibly to the defective action OF the SO,
cretory glands. If you keep the milk Of o.
each COW separate, You can probably tell
which COW gives the faulty milk. Ii you
cannot, it will not hurt them to give al,
