ON THE DIAMOND

AS the Examiner tournament contin-
ues and unworthy teams are being weed
ed out of the list, the excitement in the
contest increases. In the north huge
crowds are attending the games, 5000
people turning out in the little town of
Santa Cruz to watch the home team
lose to the Reliance club of Oakland. In
the absence of real professional baseball
in California. this tournament idea is
most acceptable substitute, serving to
keep alive the interest in the national
game until such time as providence sees
fit to send more baseball marnates to
this coast. May they speedily arrive!

fashion that would freeze the sporting

great exactness that the Giants must

for the coming trial of Krafts on Aug

fire it will be through no cause of mis-
management. 1t is doubtful If a road
record affair was ever so completely ar
ranged in every detail as this one has
been, and, in view of this fact, Krafts
should have but little difficulty in low

THE ROPED ARENA

The next tough bunch of humanity to
face big Jim Jeffries will be Joe Choynski,
the clever Frisco lad. From the show
ing that Jeffries made in his twenty
round go with Rubin of Ohio, the result
at first glance seems pipe" for
Choynskis followers. But there are
"eXtenuating circumstances, as the
French juries say. Jeffres made a
claim that he faced Rubin with pair
Of broken hands. If this is true, he did
well to stand off the husky Ohio lad.
That fact may somewhat comfort JEFF
fries disgruntled friends. A fighter
cannot deliver a knockout blow with
crippled hands, nor can he inf1ict much
damage. But the great reason that so
many sports pin their faith to the big
Los Angeles man is because Billy De-
laney, that keen old fox of the ring,
hangs out with Jeffries and declares
his faith is still unshaken in Jim's abii-
ity Delaney's judgment goes a long
way with many patrons of the ring,
though his infallibility received an aw-
full jerk when the observation-disclosures
fight was lost by the Californian. How
ever, the best judges err in some cases,
and Delaney is touchingly confident in
his present protegee.
The Los Angeles Athletic club will
probably give Soly Smith a chance to
show what he can do. There is talk Of
ten round so between him and Harry
Jones. Though there are many that
think the set-to would be an easy one
for Smith, Jones has several able sup
porters who are loud in their praise Of
his clean ring work. In any event Smith
would be kept busy with the chunky
boy, who at all time seems ready and
willing to give a very good account of
himself.
"Bill' Brady, theatrical manager and

his Carson scheme. Such an amount of

earth may be attracted thither. 1t is
hardly likely that he will be as success
full as was his predecessor in the fighting
game. That same predecessor, by the
way, made Napoleonic turn on his
veriscope pictures. When every legsla-
ture in the country was considering bills
for the abolishment of these same pic
lures, wall went up from some un-
known source that every film was
spoiled, that they never could be shown.

THE YACHTSMEN

The Terminal Yacht club is busy pre-
pairing for the regatta to be held on Sun
day. August 15 A larger crowd in at
tendance and more interest generally is
anticipated for the regatta of next week,
though the attendance was far beyond
expectations on the former occasion
These races will be quite feature in the
numerous attractions of the island dur
ing the season. The former regatta was
a sort of free-for- all, no time allowances
being given; but all classes of boats, no
matter what their rig or measurement
sailed on equal terms. So successful did
this prove that another event of the same
kind is scheduled for next Sunday. The
same rules as obtained before will be
enforced as to the starting and finishing
of boats. A large entry list shows the
interest taken in the sport by the many
nautical inhabitants of the beach. The
]. Wiley, the winner of the last race,
is again entered, and against her are
pitted the Nellie, the Allie, Flying Bird,
and all the other boats which competed
in the former regatta. The course will
be as follows: Crossing between the end
of Terminal wharf and buoy No. l, sit
uate 1000 feet east of end of wharf, thence
east southeast 21s nautical miles to buoy
No, 2; thence northeast by north 2R
nautical miles to buoy No. 8, situate one
mile southeast of Long Beach pier;
thence west by south " south four
nautical miles to buoy l and crossing
starting line. All boats must pass to the
starboard of all buoys, that is, leave all
buoys on the port side.
The success of the Pacific Yacht club S
first race for fifteen-footers has been
such that big entry list is assured for
the next event, which will take place on
September 5.
The San Francisco Yacht club has let
the contract for the new clubhouse
which was started this week.
1t is a strange and marvellous thing
that yachting, as a general sport, holds
with so few people on this southern
coast. At times excellent yachts have
been built and owned by various lovers of
the sport, such as the Aggie, the Pene-
lope, and La Palonma. But the Penelope
has been converted into freighter, La
Palonma is disgraced with a gasoline en-
gine, and is used as passenger boat;
while the Aggie has disappeared into the
misty past. On this coast such sport
can be enjoyed as the Atlantic shore
never offers. The suggestion is some
thing worth consideration by our rich
men.

THE SILENT STEED

The California Associated Cycling
Clubs have dome something that, speak
ing from a polite standpoint, is a poor
idea; from a practical view, is rdicu-
lous The governing board, has issued
bulletin, framed on l.. A. w. lines, and
couched in dignifed language, suspend
ing all riders, amateur and professional
who took part in the recent L. A. W.
division meet, and barring them from
participating in any event given under
c. A. c. c. auspices for the term of one
year, AS a matter of policy, this is un-
wise, in that it acts as a preventive to-
these riders joining the rival organiza-
ton; for the amateur and professional
racing men are hardly likely to stay
quietly away from the tracks until their
sentences have expired, and then weakly
join the association that has put them
on the shelf for year. Looking at the
bulletin from a critical standpoint, it
becomes laughable. What right has the
racing board of the G. A. C. c. to sus-
pend or expel racing men who were nev-.
er members of the association? Because
the L. A. w. has done the same foolish
thing, shall the California organization
follow in it's footsteps? Moreover, the
L. A. W, by virtue Of its control of every
race track in the country, actually de-
barred riders from competition; but the
G. A. c. c., with a struggle for suprem-
acy ahead of it, and a controlling inter-
est in only few of the tracks, merely
makes an unholy spectacle of itself when
assuming a prerogative to which it holds
no earthly title.
The national meet of the League of
American Wheelmen held at Philadel-
phia last Friday and Saturday recalls
the old-time enthusiasm that used to
flourish at former gatherings The
bright particular star of the meet was
little Earl Kiser, the chunky Dayton
boy. For the first time in his profession
al career, Kiser is getting such care as
BELTS crack-a-jack. In 1895 he suffered,
almost constant neglect at the hands of
his trainer, but even then showed such
speed and grit as made old judges pick
him out for future years as a coming
man. In 1895 he was member of the
unfortunate Stearns team who went to
Europe and fell down before the cracks
of France. His voyagfng left him but
little vitality for the game of circuit
chasing. But this season, under the
watchful eye of Tom Eek that prince
of managers, and, alas, the king of fax
irs, Kiser is seen in his true form, and
next year should see him the real cham
pion of the racing path. Bald always
holds good, but Cooper, the meteor of
1885, is somewhat like Debated balloon
this season. The Philadelphia meet is
said to- have been attended by As, 900 peo-
pie, new record for two days bicycle
meet.

SADDLE AND SULKY

The coming race meet Of the Seventh
District Agricultural association prom
ises to be altogether the best ever held
in the southern part of the state. From
the quality of the entries the fields in
every event should be wonderfully good
affording such racing as has not been
seen here in years. Ed Ryan, manager
of the track, reports the stalls filling up
rapidly with samples of the best horse
flesh in the state. The excellent purses
that the management has wisely hung
up will have the effect of creating such
racing as is seldom seen upon a local
track It is wisdom to attract the best
on the turf, as the gate receipts will
doubtless show.
The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders association will hold no meet
in Los Angeles this year; in fact, the
southern part of the state will be left
out. Six meets have been arranged for
Northern California, and they will no
doubt be successful. 1t is a pity that
the local track is ignored, but Angelenos
have only themselves to thank for it..
In 1895 the paltry attendance did not
warrant any further speculation of the

PARK BRIDGES.
Contracts for Two Were Awarded
This Morning.
The Cost, $30,4oo, is Thought to Be De-
cldedly Reasonable.

The contracts for the two new granite
price for both being $50. 400.
This means that the city is to get an
excellent bargain. The bridges are to be
40 feet wide, with 36-foot spans and the
plans provide for much that is artistic in
the way of pa-spets and balustrsd des
without detracting anything from mas
siveness or what may be called the srchi-
tsctural dignity Of the construction.
A better appreciation of the financial
advantages of the contract may be had by
the estimate that, at the same rate. Wey-
bosset bridge at Market Square could he
replaced with a solid granite structure,
with psrapets and baiustrades, which
would last for centuries for $50, 900.
The naming of the new park bridges is
singulsrly appropriate. One is on the
territory deeded to Roger Williams by
Meant enomu and the other is on terri
tory decided to the same illustrious
founder of these plantations by Csnnsni-
cusse. This spelling of the names of the
Indian chiefs is as it occurs in the origi-
nal deeds and the name of each, accord
ing to that spelling will bs cut in the
granite.
