CRICKET CHIRPS.

Owing probably to the prevailing ''Klon-
dicitis," there has not been much activity
in local cricket circles this week. L hear
that Harold Ward, the aI-around Ala
med a. player, has caught the fever and
will soon put on his pads against the snow
balls of j.. Frost. His many friends all
wish him a ''not out' inning and heavy
score.
In a recent match in Eng and between
York shire and Sussex, Brow OF the for
mer county made 311. This,.I believe, is
the record score for professional in a
first-Class m atch.
Another record, in its way, was made in
the late inter-yarsity match: In the four
innings no less than 81 extras were scored.
The Philadelphians gained their second
victory in series of eight events, in their
match with Warwick hir-, winning by
five wickets.' Lester made s!xty-seven in
great form. The Americans had the best
of it, too. in the first inning of their
match against Motifs, scoring 421 to pa
Both Patterson and Wood did excellent

THE RING.
Preliminary Contests Should be
Dispensed With - Those

DRAW" Fights.
The Health and Police Committee OF
the Board of Supervisors met yesterday
and reported in favor of granting the Ma
tional and Pacific athletic clubs permits
for boxing entertainments in Septem Der.
There is no doubt that the clubs that
are favored with permits can do well
financially if they take into consideration
that the sporting public of this City are
thoroughly posted in the game OF tstl-
cuffs and will only support such contests
as are worthy OF going some distance 10
see The sports will not stand for any
funny work and the clubs that consum-
mate matches with a view OF bagging
a Kiondyke pot on the gambling or pool
room end of the game had better look be-
fore they leap, because their term oil lie
Will be cut short by The men who support
pugillsm N this City. There are no
doubt, a mum ber OF foolish sports who
viii pay TO see any old hlppodrome, but
then the clubs cannot afford to depend on
this class OF trade.
1t will be remem bered that when boxing
fiourlshed in some of the Eastern cities
the fighters and the club managers hit
upon very clever scheme TO make good
thing at The expense of the sporting ira
ternity.
The fighters agreed with the club man
ayers to accept certain percentage OF the
receipts, thus leaving 10 all concerned
snug drawdown.
The pugllists further agreed to give the
sports run for their money by putting
up" good" exhibitions resulting in what
are termed draws.
Eventually the public got on" to the
scheme ana refused to support the we'll
worked game any longer
Judging from how the boxing contests
of recent da;e have terminated the same
oid ruse is being palmed eff on the people
of this City, and it is question OF now
long the San Francisco sports will stand
the position.
Although clubs have announced their
intention of giving entertainments in
August, there is really but one contest OF
the many scheduled that will be worth
seeing, and that is the Green and WalcOtt
fight. All others are toy affairs and un-
worthy of notice.
Doubtless the clue that will announce a
good attractive programme minus pre- i'm
lnaries that are almost invariably tire

ways ready and willing 10 pay handsomely

between ''dub" fighters should certainly
be omitted from programmes. One warm,

way of an appetizer. The band Will supply
the rest.

.FIGHRING CLUB'SSCHEME'
Three Associations That W ould
Like to Have No .oppo-, {.
sition, :, :;
But. There Are Others Who Will
+ Make " Trouble. for the +. E :.
Oonspirators. -. !. H..

There has been some talk OF: amaigama-
ton among three clubs OF this City, which
have organized purposely 10 make money
ont of boxing entertainments. -. -.
The clubs mentioned are the National.
Empire and CoEum bian. The so-called
officers of these clubs have had an under
standing with the object in view of cutting
off all clubs of a like nd from procuring
permits for boxing shows.
1t is presumed that the promoters of the
clubs mentioned will use their political
strength with the Supervisors, hoping
thereby to head off any and all enterpris-.
ing managers who may attempt to meddle
in the m king of the puglfistic pie. In
other words, the managers of the three
clubs now in existence would like very
much indeed to have the cutting and
dividing of whatever there. may be left of
the golden. pie after the pugilists have
had their share of the dividend.
They also contend that if they had full
swing the fighters bit would be reduced to
a very small amount thus enabling the
maragers to live like fighting cocks and
look wise a all times. -.
There are other clubs which, however
do not coincide with the ideas of the mo-
nopo1ists, and the outlook for a little war
fare among the contesting clubs is now:
decidedly promising.
The directors of tire California and st.
Georges clubs ridicule the idea of any
body of men controlling "the fight ting
industry and as they contend to have
prior claim bv age to all other clubs, ex.
cepling the National. they wi be up and
doin. when the season Is ripe for fighting
for their rights. -: "
The Supervisors are in quandary over
the question OF rights for permits and
some of them are strongly IN. favor OF not
making fish of one and flesh OF the other.
One of the City fathers said recently that
managers of clu bs who cannot conduct
entertainments satisfactory to the patrons
of the sport, who pay literally for re-:
served seals should be denied a permit
for all further exhibitions, and his vie VS.
were voiced by other mem bers of; the
board. 1t is therefore; to be presumed:
that the scheme concocted by the En-:
pire, Columbian and National clubs will
be knocked in the head. : =.
The CoIum bian+ Club has matched
Griffin and Smith, therefore the proposed
match between Sofly Smith ard "Peddler',
Palmer of England has:fallen through for
the present. = " :"
1t has been stated on what is considered
to be good authority that, Dan Stuart will.

GUN AND GAME.
Three Weeks of Deer Shooting In
Marin County-The Trap.


Sportsmen will do well to remember
that the Supervisors of Marin County, at
a recent NEE ting decided to cut off one
month of the season sanctioned by the
State law for the shooting Of. deer. The
Supervisors have the power to shorten
the seasons for the killing of game and
fish. but they cannot lawfully extend it.
The deer ooting season in Marin County
will consequently end on August Is.
Frank Commins of the Hibernla Bank
was one of the fortunate sportsmen who
visited the Tamalpais preserve on deer
shooting expedition last Sunday. Mr..
Commins grassed a fine spiked buck. and
modestly he confessed that luck favored
him, as the deer fell pierced by a VIM
chester rifle bullet seven hundred yards
from where the sportsman stood when
shooting. The distance was paced of Dv
Colonel Daniel O'Connell, whose veracity
is beyond question. J. w. Morton and
Andrew Corrlgan have had good success
deer-shooting on the hills west of Cam p
Taylor recently.
DR.. Leonard and a party OF sportsmen
are camped in the hills west OF Novato.
The doctor reports having had some ter
rlble conflicts with mosquitoes, which are
known by spnrtsmen a. the hummlng-
birds OF thp Novato ranges. lie says the
locality in which he is camped IS spien-
did place for those who have the klon-
dyke goldields in mind. Mosquitoes are
said to be en- awful lest in Alaska, but
they cannot be any worse than "the home
swordsmen," who will give any person
deslrous OF an experiment. fair try-out
before entering the Alaskan ring. The
doctor has succeeded IN killing four deer
so far this season, but he hopes for many
more scalps beiors breaking camp.
The trap-shooting events announced for
Tomorrow are:
Empire Gun Club, grand blue rock tour
nament, open to all, at Alameda Point.
This will be one of the star events or the
season. and as the prizes are Of excellent
value large crowd will undoubtedly take
part in the races.
This California Wing Club will meet at
the lngleside grounds; the Encinal Club
at Birds Point, and the Golden Gate Club
at Alameda Junction.
Otto Feudner will represent the Oiym-
pic Gun Club at the shooting tournam ent
of the Yuba and Suffer gun clubs, which
will be held at Marysvile on August 8
and g.
Tom Casey will leave this evening with
party of friends for deer shoot in Lake
County. Tom says that it is no trick for
him to kill deer on sight, but he allows
that on one or two occasions he missed
the Oakland ferry boat.

The shortest and best way OF reaching

the point of debarkation is Guerneville.
All of the deep pools of the river within

most successful are the live minnow, large
