Peppers and King Are Ready for a
Hot Argument.


Peppers and King Are Ready: for a
Hot Argument.
The managers of the Imperial Athletic
Club at Colma have completed all the ar
rangements necessary for the comfort of
those who propose to witness the twenty
round contest between King and Peppers
next Friday evening.
The club can be reached in twenty-five
minutes ride from this City on the electric;
railroad, and sufficient number of cars
will be placed on the line that evening to
accommodate several hundred people
with seats.
Some good preliminary bouts between
boxers of prominence will be witnessed be-
fore the event OF the evening is called.
King and Peppers are now at the weight
they have agreed to fight, and, although
King is strong favorite with the betting
men, there are number of Peppers friends
who are taking up all wagers with odds
given on King.
The supporters of the last named lad
contend that as he has not yet met with a
defeat King has no chance to whip him.
either in a limited contest or finish fight.
Peppers is certainly good marksrnan with
the mittens, and when he is out for spoils
no man Of his weight, and especially slow
boxer, has, in the language of the slogger,
dead sure thing in sight It. will
be remembered that when Peppers
fought Zelner some years ago,
the friends of the latter believed
that they had rope or the betting end of
the game, but Peppers gave the despoilsrs
of boxing-the booksellers the double
cross and poor Zelner discovered, greatly
to his surprise, that although first-class
gymnast, he was mighty poor specimen
of the boxer. If many others of. the fight
ing fraternity had emulated Peppers style
of handling ''sure-thing men," boxing
would be still in the swim, but those who
had earned gold by the powers of their

Indications That Point to a Late
but Good Seasons Fishing.
Occasionally some member of the
happy angling fraternity of this City re-
turns from some of the near coast streams
or their tributaries with nice display of
trout. The exception is, however, the
rule, as, ordinarily speaking, the fish so far
taken have been under the size which
anglers take pleasure in consigning to their
creels.
There can be no gainsaying the fact tnat
the creeks which are within easy distance
OF this City-excepting few streams of
Marin County that have been fished out
are literally alive with small trout of from
three to five inches in length. This in it
self is good evidence that stream fishing
will be first class in the latter months OF
the year, when a great number OF the
lovers OF the sport will be either W whipping
the placid waters of San Andreas Lake or
enjoying the excellent trout-fshing of
Northern California.
Two gentlemen who had taken cue
from an article which appeared in last Sat
urday,s CALL, had most enjoyable outing
last Tuesday and Wednesday on Pieta
Creek, which stream is on the line of the
San francisco and North Pacific Coast
Railroad. They drove from Pieta station
about six miles up stream and then fished
down. The combined catch amounted to
1S0 trout, several of which weighed from a
quarter to half a pound. The average
length OF the trout taken was eight inches
Although the effect of the warm snap of
a week ago can be easily noticed in all of
the coast streams, there is yet too much
volume in some of the creeks which in
past years panned out very well in May
and June. Experience has demonstrated
that good stream fishing can be ex-
pected only when the water in any
river or creek has reduced to it's
lowest state in the summer season.
1t is at this time of the year that the
large fishes, which have remained over,
50 to speak, will condescend to recognize
with favor an artificial fly that glides over
the water after the fashion of the natural
insect.
1t requires, however, much experience
on the part of the angler to so place his
fly that it will pass over the nose of a
silver-sided aristocrat who is watching in
the deepest and darkest spot of the pool
for something in the line of insect life to
pass overhead.

Owing to the many years of Incidence
