San Andreas Lake VIII Be Open to
Fishermen on June /.

San AndreaS Lake VIII Be Open to
Fishermen on June /.
The Spring Valley Water Company has
at last concluded to give anglers an OPP
portunity of cleaning out some of the
wormy fi,hes of Lake San Andreas a
month earlier than the directors proposed.
At meeting held last week Messrs.
Howard Borrel and King, who, it APP
pears, have the powar to issue or refuse
anglers perm ission to wet their lines on the
preserved waters of the company, decided
to open the lake in question to "the
gentle artists until July l, but when they
discovered that the trout of San Andreas
Lake are in most sickening condition
this year, the experts on fishes" altered
their intentions and concluded, and
wisely, too, that they would issue permit
to anglers on June l.
1t can be said without fear of contradic-
tion that there will be q rush of trout
fishermen to the lake on the first Sunday
In June, and then the lovers of good
things eatable will have an opportunity
of tasting the flavor of trout parasites
which some of the connoisseurs contend
are of as good flavor as the stall fed
| ground worms which are priced SO highly
| by the epicures of France.
The Crystal Spring Lake, which con-
| tains thousands of bass and trout, will
not be opened to anglers this year, and
doubtless it will be closed to the fra
ternity for all time.
| Messrs. Walker and Cooper returned
| from Wrights station last Sunday with
| nice messes of trout and excellent appe.
| tites.
James Watt states positively that he
saw a beautiful mermaid last Sunday
while fishing the San Pablo Creek and
| that it disappeared the instant 1t caught
sight of mis- specs. But Mr.. Watt contends
that it was beautiful maid, nevertheless.
Frank Dolliver states that he has q
leather spinner which will attract fish
when all spoons fail. He has applied for a
patent.
John Gallagher, the champion trout
catcher OF Oakland, will soon taKe his de-
parture for the mountains, where good
sport is always sure to be had during the
summer.

The South Ends and Other Crews
Training for the Coming
80

At the last regular meeting of the South
End Rowing Club it was decided to post
pone the club regatta until Sunday, May
80, at II A. NJ. By that time it is hoped
that ali the crews will be in racing con-
dition and no trouble will be encountered
in selecting material for the big Ell Campo
regatta to take place on Sunday, June 20.
A committee of three, consisting of
Joseph Lyons, Matt Breen and T. ]. Fitz-
patrick, were appointed for the purpose
of making arrangements and matching
crews for the club regatta.
Joe Lyons and his junior crew were out
again last Sunday morning and rowed 10
the Dolphins and return without stop.
If these gentlemen keep on with their
good work it is more than likely that
they will be heard from in the big regatta.
The crew consists OF the following: Joe
Lyons, stroke; Alex McGeorge, after
waist; Will Fox, forward waist, and
Frank Tobin, bow.
Another crew equally as good as the
above mentioned. consisting of Frank
Burke, stroke; James Feehan, after waist:
Will McHerin, forward waist, ana Viii

rowed strong and steady stroke over the

good condition and will surprise the
knowing ones who are playing Jeffries
and Cans. The last-named pugilists are
strong favorites and it is thought that on
the evening OF the mills Jeffries will sell
at $40 as against 81 ON Baker. and that the

long odds. What betting has been done
so far was $40 to So, with the Baltimore lad

The Nationa. Club has not as yet de-
cided which evening this month it will
give the sporting public an opportunity
OF seeing George Green and Charley Nc
Keever in battle. The directors have been
figuring on the evening of the 26th inst,
but as the California Club people have de-
cided TO held their show on the evening
of the 3lst inst. doubtless the Nationals
will postpone their carnival until some
day In the early part OF June
McKeever will be many pounds lighter
than Green when the pair will meet in
the ring. They have signed to hight at
catchweights and that will mean that
McKeever will weigh about 13S pounds
and Green 148 pounds. The Eastern man
does not seem to care very much about
the handicap. He says that almost every
fight he has had he gave his opponent
handicap In weight. McKeever must be
great fighter if record speaks the truth.

ATHLETIC.
A California Amateur Athletic AS
ISOLATION Will Be Formed
This Month.


This Month.
The officers of the Olympic Club have
called meeting of amateur athletes for
the evening of the 28th inst, for the pur-
pose of organizing purely California
amateur athletic association. The leader
OF the club, Howard Patrick Taylor, has
sent invitations to the Academic Athletic
League, the Acme Club, Fresno Athletic
CLUB, Stanford University, Reliance Cub.
Sacramento Athletic Club, ST. Mary's Col
Iege, Stockton Athletic Association, Los
Angeles Athletic Club, Y. NJ. G. A. of this
City and Oakland and the University Of
California, asking them 10 send represen-
tatives to the meeting.
Athletics at the Y oung Mems Christian
Association are at present in state of
chaos, and il is hoped that the trouble be-
tween the athletes and the officers of the
association will, in a short time, come to
a proper head as they were about couple
of months ago.
Last week about twenty-five of the
athletes of the Young Mems Christian
Association organized, independent of the
association, club which was named the
Union Athletic Club, for the purpose Of
holding on Sundays cross-country runs,
bicycle runs. field days, baseball, and
other pastimes which they feel, as do
many others, that, if they had in this
City half-holidays on Saturdays as In the
East, the athletes would lessen their de-
sire to find the different sports they now
look for on Sundays.
The officers of the club are: Fred L.
Shaw, president; II. G. Guittard, vice.
president; George Klarmann, captain;
w. w. Harder, secretary and treasurer;
and L. Jennina s, first lieutenant.
The general secretary of the Y. M. G. A.,
Henry j. Mccoy, upon hearing of the
organization of said athletic club and OF
the clubs meeting-place being one of the
associations rooms, Immediately opposed
the actions of the athletes and also gave
directions disallowing them to have their
plans carried out under the auspices of
the association, as be thought it would be
against the workings of the association.
He also hopes that the athletic club be
not allowed to exist, as he thinks it
against the rules of the association.
AS for the athletes themselves who have
joined the club, they do not in any way
whatsoever wish to antagonize the Young
Mems Christian Association, but are lutte
put out by the way they have been treated
by the general secretary and other officers,
as they say they are not at all detrimental
10 the Young Mems Christian Association
in any way. but are special. independent
organization in themselves, although at
the same time being mem bers and work
ing for the welfare of the association.

a meeting last evening at sporting re-

the gentlemen interested in the project
were very enthusiastic over the future for
coursing in this State, and that before the
meeting had adjourned over $4,000 was
promised by five of the coursers present as
starter for the leasing OF land and the
building of grand stand, etc. The mat
ter has been kept very quiet, as the pro-
jectors of the scheme do not desire any
publicity of their plans until all arrange
ments are perfected. An other meeti ne
will be held in the very ne ar future.

VOLLEY BALL.
A New Game Which Is Now Playes
at the Y. M. G. Association
Building.

~
at the Y. M. c. Association
Building.
A new game called volley ball was
played for the first time on the Pacific
Coast last Tuesday evening at the gymna-
SUM of the Y. Vi. c. A. "Volley ball" is
the invention of Mr.. Morgan of Holyoke,
Mass, who has been instructor in gym
nastics and athletics for number OF years.
Volley ball has the following advan-
tages over basket bali, handbalI and lawn
tennis: 1t is not SO rough as basketball,
accidents are almost impossible; it is not
liable to be so one-sided as hand ball and
tennis usually are for the average player
md The expenses for court and OUTFIT are
very small.
The game is fully described in the "As-
sociation Athletic Handbook for 1897"
where also the rules are given in detail.
The game played Tuesday evening was a
practice game between two teams from
the Mission Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciation and from the German Branch Y.
M. c. A. Four men played on side with
the following lineup:
Mission team-Lamont, Tayler, Smith,
German team Herrings, J. Tonnes.
Horner, H. Tonnes.
The score of the volley ball game stood
40 to 81 points in favor OF the Mission
team. J. Z. Daub acted as referee.
The gymnasium floor is divided into two
courts by net suspended from two posts
about six feet from the ground. The net
is ABOUT twenty-five feet long. The play
ers are placed on each side OF the net, and
their number can be from two to twelve
on each side, according to the size of the
playground. Each side plays nine in
nings in regular game. The game is
started by one player of side batting the
ball from position having one ioos on
the back line over the net into the OPP
ponent' court.
Two trials are allowed for each service.
Should the server fail 10 bat the ball over
the net In the two trials, then another
player OF that side has 70 serve or bat the
ball over the net. When the ball goes
over the net the opposite side has to re-
turn it before the bail touches the ground.
SO it Is batted back and forth until 1t
strikes the floor or is batted out OF bounds.
Failure to return the ball according to
rules counts one point for the opposite
side.
This game is recommended by the
physical direc ors' conference, which was
neld in Springfield, Mass, last year.
The first exhibition game of voley ball
Is to take place on Thursday evening,
May n, at the gym. nasium of the Young
Mems Christian Association of this City.
On the same evening and at the same
place the San Francisco Business Mems
team will play their last game in the
present basketball tournament
