OUTDOOR SPORTS.
Interesting Events in the Cycle
World and i'm Athletic Fields.

The rapidly increasing interest in health
full sports such as cycling, athletics, shoot
ing, angling, football, coursing, rowing,
etc, is an evidence that California will
soon be recognized as a great sporting
center. The wheelmen still hold sway,
but they are closely pressed now by the
followers of other pastimes. Football,
which will include intercollegiate, Gaelic
and association forms of play, will prove a
very strong opposition to the cyclists in
the race for popularity this winter.
The oarsmen are quietly moving to the
front, and doubtless the result of the
Austin regatta will give further impetus
to this excellent branch of sport. Angling
is about at an end for this season, but the
sportsman, properly speaking, is anx-
icusly awaiting the opening of the season,
when he will make himself heard on marsh
and field; in fact he is loudest of all, and
should attract most attention. Coursing,
handball and rihe-shooting are moving
with the line of advancement.

seems to be some little contest for two
places on the ticket, which IS as follows:
For chief consul, Frank H. Kerrigan Bay

former position, will receive the support of
the Bay City Wheelmen, Acme Club
Wheelmen and Olympic Club Wheelmen
solid. He is an old-time rider, with a
large acquaintance among cyclers, and
should poll a large country vote. Mr..
Desimone has the support of the Garden
City Cyclers and no doubt has many
friends among the unattached, but it
would seem as though his opponent had
the best of it. DR.. Powell will poll about
the same vote as Mr.. Scovern in his run
for vice-consul against Mr.. Wynne. The
opposition to Judge Kerrigan for
chief consul was wisely withdrawn at the
suggestion of THE CALL, as it would only
have been sacrifice to put any one up
against him. The Kerrigan Powell
ScOvern ticket seems to me the one that
will be elected, and [ will venture this pre-
diction with almost positive assurance
that it Will come true. The ballots have
been mailed TO the members and every one
should vote without fail, as it is an i'm
pOrUant election.

Bass Fishing In Russian RiVer-Good
Reports From Fort Bragg.
The success of anglers who visited Dun
cans Mills last Saturday in quest of black
bass was far from good. Charley Precht
and Charley Green did very well. They
spooned all day, and as a result of perse-
verance they finished with catch of eigh-
teen nice fish. Anglers who lished higher
up the river, in the vicinity of the old Bo-
hemian camp, did much better, and their
fish had much superior flavor to those
taken near Duncans Mills.

rhe following very interesting letter
from the Hon. James Watt, inventor of
the now charming and successful Watt

by anglers:

says that the fishing in a place called the
canyon, on the Noyo River, is excellent right
now. He also says: "Soon after receiving your

salmon lying under the bridge all summer
but shy, having been hooked several
times, but always managed to get away. put
on your spoon and cast it nearly across the
creek and then drew it over the place where

among the members than any feature of
athletic sport that has been introduced in
the club for many moons.
The fact that representative boxers
under the colors of the San Francisco
Sacram ento, Reliance and Olympic clubs
will compete on the evening in question
for the very handsome prizes that will be
given to the champion contestants, Is IN
itself sufficient to arouse an unf1agging in

clubs who take pleasure in witnessing good
athletic sport.
As majority of the young men who
will contest are members of the Olympic
Club 1t is but reasonable to presume that
the wearers of the flying ''O' are taking
no small interest in the outcome of this
particular series of matches.

A Closely Contested Championship

1t is hoped that the members Of the club
who are thoroughly imbued with club
spirit will keep in mind that in boxing
contest there are always two performers in
a ring.
1t has been a common occurrence at
several of the past boxing matches that
when an Olympic Club man was defeated
by representative of another club the
judges were hissed; and, by the way, this
system of testifying disgust is compare
