Sacramento Sporting News,

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 10.-Hunters
report ducks more than plentiful, but
hard to approach, as they affect the open
country and only come within range dur.
ing the days on which the north wind
blows heavily. Geese are scarce this year
and but few have been brought into mar
ket, while snipe are fat and plenty. A
large number of gray squirrels are Seing
brought in, and it is reported that down
in the foothill country the deer are more
numerous than ever before known. Russ
Flint and S. Epson, who have just re-
turned from quail hunt near Pilot Hill,
Ell Dorado County, report having seen
eight deer in one band during their out
ing. They had very good success at the
quail, killing seventy in one days hunt.
John Brown bagged tifty-nine ducks in a
days outing this week, mostly mallard;
but Frank Coons and John Beckley, who
were out two days, only got five ducks be-
tween them. Russ Flint and Henry Ger
Der, who were the guests of ]. Burnham
and Chris Ecklon this week, the old time
| lovers OF the dog and gun, of Folsom,
state that they enjoyed great sport afeld.
Ecklon is noted throughout the State as
always possessing the best strain of dogs,
and has a National reputation as trainer
finds his chief enjoyment in the fields and
mountains, and an invitation TO join him
in hunt is always sought after by all
lovers OF sport.
The inha bitants ofsWashington, in Yolo
County, have started an athletic club, to
be known as the West End Club and are
fitting up their rooms in great shape.
| They claim to have material which with
but little training will make a good
showing among the boxers and athletes
of older clubs. The Sacramento and
Woodland High School football teams
will line up for contest on Saturday at
Agricultural Park and hot game is ex-
peeted. The boys are all light weights,
but are well trained, having had the ad-
vice and training of that old football vete-
ran, Chick Harrison. The personnel of the

THE BOXERS.
Clubs That Are Bidding for the FItz-
simmons and Corbett Fight.

Clubs That Are Bidding for the FItz-
simmons and Corbett Fight.
1t can be safely said that unless the
Olympic Club can compete with Eastern
clubs in bidding for the proposed Corbett
and FItzsimmons match the great pugi-
Iistfc event of the year will not take place
on this side of the big mountains.
The Olympic Club has missed several
good opportunities of enriching its
treasury within the past year sim ply be-
cause it was too slow in bidding for star
attractions.
1t could have had the Sharkey and Fitz-
simmons anc the Corbett and Sharkey
contests if it had manifested the least en-
terprise. The club under whose auspices
these contests were held made money.
Now the Olympic has an opportunity of
capturing a snug little pot by securing a
meeting between two of the most noted
fighters of the day, but according to the
enny-wise-and- pound-foolish ideas of
those of its members who have been Sc
lected to arrange for meeting between
the cham pions of the ring 1t is extremely
doubtful if Bob and Jim will settle their
long pending dispute on this side of the
big mountains.
very nice sum of money TO offer two men
for a ten-round contest, which will doubt
less draw between $50, 900 ana SAC, coo from
the spectators, there can be no gainsaying
the fact that Fitzsimmons and Corbett
will box wherever they can get the best
financial inducements, provided finish
fight, under Dan Stuart's auspices, cannot
be agreed upon.
Stuart has offered $4,000 for a finish
Hrhf five tod
probably to-day Corbett will give his an
swer. II it should be in the negative, then
the Olympic Club and other clubs that are
looking for the mil will be afforded an
opportunity to bid, and the slowest in the
race will be sure to lose the golden plum.
Martin Julian, the manager and hacker
of Bob Fitzsimmons, has stated that Jim
Corbett was certainly "off his base"
II will allow that Corbett, for in
stance" said Julian, ''is very anxious to
fight Bob, but why does he try to get away
from our original proposition2
.'Corbett certainly is aware that we have
a forfeit posted for fight TO finish, and
why is it that he does not say so in his
letters and dispatches 10 the olympic
Club?
at is useless for me to argue this ques-
ton. 1 have repeatedly stated to the rep
resentatives of the press that in case we
cannot arrange Tor finish fight arrange
ments will be made with the club that
will offer us the most fattering financial
inducements.
Now, then, we have had excellent offers
from different clubs, and what surprises
me most is that Corbett has made no men,
ton of them in his letters to his friends in
this City.
"The Broad way Athletic Club of New
York, of which O'Rourke is president, has
offered $4,000, or a percentage. for a.
twenty-round contest. The Greater Ath-
letic Club, of which Warren Lewis is gen.
eral director. has offered purse OF SIC, 900
for twenty rounds. with the proviso that
no side wager can go.
'Geinslinger of the Bohemian Club has
made an offer of $27, 900 for twenty rounds.

The Santa Clara College team will come
up in special car decorated in the college
coIors and accompanied by the college
band. Game will be called at 80 O'Clock,
rain or shine.
Another match of almost as great i'm
portance Will be that for the State aca-
demic pionship between Oakland
High School and St. Matthew's Hall of
San Mateo. The game will be played
Grounds Oakland High School has been
practicing since its last game under the
instruction of the Arlett brothers and
several other members of the Reliance
team. Tommy" Code, the old Stanford
and Olympic quarter, and Porter, the
Olympic and California player, have been
coaching the San Mateo team.
What gives promise of being an in
teresting football game will be called this
forenoon at 10 O'Clock on the Sixteenth
and Folsom streets grounds between
the elevens of the Alameda Uni
versity Academy and the Lick Poly
technic School. The teams have both
won honors on the gridiron and are
well matched. The Academy team re-
Gently defeated that of the Oakland High
School, which played tie with the Lowell
| team and then ANONYMOUSLY defeated it.
The Lick team is adjudged the strongest
amateur team in the vicinity of the City,
and would probably carry off the trophy
of the Academic League were it not de-
barred tor having joined too late.
The undefeated Y. M. q. A. team, that
claims the lightweight football cham
pon ship of the Pacific Coast, will meet
the Cogswell College eleven in a match
game this afternoon at California League
grounds, Sixteenth and Folsom streets.
Game will be called al 2:30 O. clock.
Though the Y. NJ. G. A. eleven average
less than 131 pounds stripped, they are
willing to concede nine pounds to the
man and play any football team on the
coast weighing less than lao pounds to the
man stripped.
Following is the lineup of the two
teams and the stripped weights of the
men, arranged as they oppose each other
in the game.

Judge Buckles of Solano County has
issued iDjunctions which will be served
on hunters who are found trespassing on

pretty good sport OF late in the Suisun
marshes.
Late reports from Jersey Landing and
Antioch state that duck-shooting on the
river has been very good, and are to the
effect that the sportsmen who have visited
those places have enjoyed hrst-class
shooting.
Messrs. Casey and Cleary left for Jersey
Landing last evening. They expect to
return on Sunday with large number of
mallard and canvasback.
In case the hunters should happen upon
good snipe patch Mr.. Casey ordered 500
shells loaded with No. 10 shot prior 10
his departure. He hopes to be able TO
bag at least one dozen "Englishmen"
with that number of cartridges.

The following extract from letter was
received recently By Professor Watson of
the Olympic Club from B. John Angle,
who is referee of the London National
Sporting Club:
1t is my ambition to see how boxing contests
are managed in the country of your adoption,
as am not so stupidity conservative as to ina
CINE that we (the old country are without
biemish. Layigne and Solly Smith treated our
champions in very unceremonious fashion,
but Ia justice to Burge must claim that he
never ought to box at the weight Willy Smith
was stale and in nothing like the form shown
by him when meeting good men and concedirg
lot OF weight. Do nctthink that wish TO de-
tract in the least from the victory gained by
our visitors. They are both stirring boxers,
hitting hard with both hands and thoroughly
game. AS you have learned through the Sports
man. Corbett will not be permitted to box be-
lore the National Sporting Club, his utterences
which appeared in American papers concern
ing the management OF the club very naturally
causing great Indignation among the men,
bers. do not believe him to be responsible
for these statements, as he was courtesy itself
when over here, and as professional boxer
would naturally be very careful of his reputa-
ton.
Ned Donnelly is thriving. His wonderful
system OF tuition will unfortunately die with
him, unless you ultimately elect to return
home.

has been arranged to take place to-day at
the Velodrome track. Weather permit
ting, several club runs will be held to-
morrow.
The Olympic Club is still trying to ar
range a meeting between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons to be held in this City under
its auspices, but Fitzsimmons will not
agree to any proposition until he learns
from Dan Stuart the result of his confer
ence with Corbett.
Several football games will be played
to-day and to- morrow baseball contests
will take place at the Central Park and
Preside athletic grounds.
A tug-of-war which will continue each
evening of next week will be the principal
feature of sport at Sutros baths.
