Within the past twelve months Slavin
has improved in health and although he
has met with some reverses he is still a
dangerous man in the ring. Judging
from his looks and general appearance
now he should give a tirst-ciass account

Joe Butler, the coiored Hercules of Phila-
delphia. on Monday, May 81.

honors. He was unanimously elected track
captain, and at the last intercollegiate field
day carried off three first places.
He has also been elected to several class dis
tinctions besides serving on the stude mt body
executive and athletic committees. Dole has
served as substitute three years on the Varsity
football team and only an accident at an in
oprortune time has prevented him from
making the football eleven. Walter Camp has
a high opinion of him as a halfback. At
present he is one OF Stanford's represe natives
in the Pacific Athletic Association. He served
one of the editors of the '98 annual this
year. Personally Dole is q great favorite. He
is q good student and man of decided charac-
ter. His major subject is law.

keever VIII Meet on Wednss-
day Evening.
Next Wednesday evening the National
Athletic Club will entertain gentlemen of
sporting proclivities at Woodward's Pa
vllion.
The club has first-class card and
doubtless the place OF amusement will be
filled to overlooking with pleasure-hunt-
ers. As already stated, George Green, the
clever Californian wei,er-weieht, will en-
gage in a passage-at- arms with Charley
McKeever, who by the way is ranked as
the most polished exponent of the manly
art east of the big mountains. McKeever
is Philadelphia and his record of win
nings stamps him as being a remarkab BILE
fighter.
Sporting mon who have seen McKeever
in hattie state that he is an extraordinary
quick fighter and that he uses excellent
Judgment Green will have an advantage
in weight of probably eight or ten pounds,
and the handicap in his favor in this
particular leads many of the sports to the
opinion that he should win, as he is
ranked as being just as clever as his oppo-
nent.
There are, however, some authorities
on the game who contend that the Cali
fornian will not 60 twenty rounds if the
battle be hard fought from the start.
They advance in the way of argument the
fights that Green had with Tracey and
Smith.
One of the prominent sports of this City
said in the presence of q numbe of peo-
pie few evenings ago at sporting re-
sort that Green was fading away in the
ninth and tenth rounds of his fight with
Tracey and that If the contest:had been
twenty rounds instead of ten Tracey
would have won the battle. Then when
Green fought Smith in Carson he was
growing weak when Smith quit fighting.
1t must be remembered, however, that
those fights were HARD ones especially the
Tracey fight. which was of the hurricane

Green Is improving with age and If he
fails to receive a verdict in his favor on
Wednesday evening his numerous friends
will be sadly disappointed. Tho betting

gilist who gave Peter Jackson such q hard
battle in England. Slavin was whipped,
but when the contest came to an end Jack
son was in a very bad condition. In fact.
the wonderful colored pugilist did not re.
cover from the punisn mont he received for
many days after the bait e, and it will be
remembered that he has not fought mill
worthy of any mention since that time.
Slavin neglected himself, and for many
months after his defeat he live wild life,
which was fast making inroads on his
magnificent constitution. He left Eng
land for America about two years ago, and
while in New York he continued the pace
that kills for some months. Finally he
realized that too much Of good time was

THE ANGLER.
Why Coast Streams Should Be
Largely Stocked With
Trout Erv

Trout Fry.
Trout fishing in the coast streams this
summer has been very poor. In fact the
sport is annually becoming less interest
ing, aud anglers are wondering why they
cannot journey to their tavorite streams
as in former years and return with some.
! thing like decent catch of fish. They
forget, however, that there are new anglers
born daily and that yearly new faces are
seen on favorite waters.
Angling is becoming quite fad, and as
the army increases the trout family gradu-
ally decreases.
If the anglers of this City, who are
many, should form q club possibly the
Fish Commissioners would give some at
tentton to their suggestions, as in unity
there is strength.
THE CALL has always commended that
the streams which are fshed the most
persistently should be stocked largely
every year. The Lagunitas, Paper Mill,
Sonoma, Purissima and Los Gatos creeks
should be stocked with thousands Of trout
fry at least twice year, and the stocking
should be under the supervision of some
official who understands his business.
In recent publication of an Eastern
journal, which is devoted to the sports of
| rod and gun, there appears very inter-
eStlng communication from uSQ cQt.
turis,, in which it is stated that it is only
loss of time and money to stock trout
streams with trout fry that are not at least
eight or nine months old. The writer
contends that the dumping of baby fry
into trout streams means only waste OF
fishes. Doubtless the Fish Commissioners
| will stock largely the coast streams that
are fished most next year.

the morning and evening the fishing is

are bringing in messes of nineteen to

Campo Regatta. to Take Place
May 80.
The mem bers OF the South End Rowing
Club are looking forward with great inter-
est to the club regatta which is to take
place on Sunday morning, May 80.
The three Junior crews have been train.
ing hard for the past two weeks and a.
great rivalry exists between them an in.
teresting race is expected.
Following is the list of those who have
entered up to the present date:
Senior skiff race-Frank Duplissea and
DR.. Dennis.
Junior skiff race-James Foley, George
Fox, Henry Bode, Matthew Breen,
Charles Cutter and Thomas Barry.
In the junior shell event Robert Nc
Arthur is the only entry, but Ed Shortall
and Joseph O'Dav are to be heard from.
In the senior barge event the losing
crew will pay for a French dinner. The
mldgets will row in the same positions,
with Frank Duplissea stroke, Gus Carson
afterwalst, Bob Macarthur forwardwaist
and Henry Bode bow.
Their opponents, known as the new
senior crew, will row in the following
positions: Ed Scully, stroke; George
Bates, afterwaist; Matt Breen, forward
waist; James Pallas, bow.
The three junior crews are composed OF
the following:
Crew No. Herbert Hawkins. stroke; VIII

George McGrilI. Doc Flynn and Frank
]. Burke act as cockswains.
is now a certainty that George Phelan
OF the Ariels will enter tho senior skiff
race; in fact, he is having a boat built
especially for this event. This Will bring
about the long-looked-for struggle between
he and McCausland. Among the other
material that is striving for entry in the
senior event may be mentioned James
Wilson and G. Wutkoff.
In case a shell race IS decided upon the
club will be represented by McCausland
and Wutkt f.
Andrew Carroll and G. McAuliffe will
enter for the junior skiff.
Junior barge crew is now in constant

training, the personnel being Archie
Taylor, 6. 7. McGuiness. James O'Connell
and G. Bulger.
There is much speculation concerning
who will comprise the senior barge crew.
If PheIan and McCausland can be pre-
vailed upon to enter, the chances OF Sc
brighter.
The club is anxiously awaiting the COM
pletion of Its new barge, to be ready in a
few days. If 1t proves as fast as is ex-
pected it will doubtless be an added en-
couragement to the aspiring oarsmen.
