According to an agreement which the pugilists signed they will box fifteen rounds and the winner will receive 70 per cent of the receipts: As Mcconnell IS pretty clever the contest should prove quite interesting.

 It is proposed to play a series of games at Recreation Park, Eighth. and Harri= son streets. The boatmen. see theimport- ance> of playing on these grounds, as the contest can be played with a live ball. ;:

 The first game of the series will proba- ply take place a week from to-morrow: and will be between the Pioneers and the South Ends, at least that is the pro gramme now.
 On the evening of January 10 the newly elected officers of the Dolphins will give banquet, and on the evening of the 1ltf the newly elected officers of the: Ariels will also give banquet =:

:. GAME FISHES
 IN THE.
 RUSSIAN RIVER.

Steelhead fishing in Russian River is . first class now. The bar at the. rivers s mouth was opened last Tuesday and the game fishes have been running up the river since then. AS stated in yesterdays Call, two Deputy Fish Commissioners seized three nets on Wednesday, and that practically puts a stop to net-fshing in the river for some time
 . This morning a party of anglers will leave here for Duncan's Mills, and, un- less. a sudden change in. the weather takes place, good sport should result. Anglers who have not heretofore pros pected for ssteelheads on Russian River should keep in mind. that the very best of tackle is. Indispensable The reel is a very important part of an anglers outfit It must be in first-class running order, as frequently the fish run out from 50 to 100 yards of line, then leap into the air, SCOT ing a double somersault, and sometimes freeing themselves from punishment by smashing a leader or line with swift
 The steelheads of Russian River are exceedingly game, and consequently af- ford the lovers of angling grand sport. In fishing with a spoon you must troll deep and just. keep; the boat moving. When bait-fishing use large red flies baited with cooked, shrimp. A good bunch of worms on a hook will sometimes prove very killing.
 During the last week or so w. R. Me Farland and Al Wilson have had grand SHpll O1 lAlS INuSSloll. UlCT llOOheQ twenty-one fish and landed eighteen. Wilson hooked twenty-two and landed twenty-one, all on a leader made by him. self. He is still. fishing and enjoying grand sport
 .Steelhead fishing at Point Reyes will not be good until something is. done to stop the netting of fish at the. mouth of the creek: and also the spearing of steelheads by Indians: and whites: .5:.
 The United States Commission of Fish 'and Fisheries. at Worthwhile, Mich, is ChfnflinU fcCr /, Oregon: They. will. be taken in charge by H. p. McGuire, State Game*and Fish Protector of:0regon. The. eggs will be shipped to the Crackamas hatchery.
 The next meeting of the fly-casting club will be held on January II at the office of the Fish Commission.

FLEET HOUNDS AFTER
 HEAVY PURSES.

The coursing men open the New Year at Ingleside to-day with feelings of much encouragement, enthusiasm and two ex- :ceptional stakes. Their encouragement arises from the fact that with all the great strides the sport has taken during the past twelve months, 1898 promises far greater advancement. Their enthusiasm is due not only to this but to the actual evidence in hand, which evidence; is shown in the increase of the purses of fered to-day. The chief stake-if such. it may be called-is an open all-age event, and to the total entrance money no. less than $200 has been added. The second feature is a puppy sprint, and to this has been added $100. Never before in the history of coursing on the coast or in America has the sport attained a like plane or anything approaching it. Both stakes will be carried through the run down to-day and the ties run off to- morrow. =
 Judging it from paper, the entry of both many surprises. At the same time, The Call has picked 'em" before-two weeks ago picked 'em'' all. The selections will be found below for to-days run down.
 The Orient kennels will properly ob- serve the New Year by moving into. new quarters on Broadway, near +Montgom- cry. street; Buildings requisite to the needs or their string have been in. course or construction for several weeks, and in a few days the Orient will be the best housed kennels of the city. .s:..
 The importance of careful handling and sclenunc training of greyhounds was Eever better exemplified than last Sun- day. It has long been recognized that the Curtis kennels of Santa Clara always brought their dogs to the slips in condi- tion. They have always done so. Lately. too, they have employed McCaffery, late or St: Louis, to aid them in training, and last. Sunday they landed first and second money with Blackette, who has not won a stake in many months, and Rosette. MhoSe entry at all surprised many, she having been reported a sufferer with dis temper scarcely two weeks earlier. .. % Gibson x Suter are said to have sold their black dog Hercules. The name of the purchaser is being withheld. Proba- bly this means a change of training and the later springing of good thing-or it's attempt. :: Several.

In many cases, too they might have secured it, but they appeared a bit shy or the price-mentally shy that is At the same time.
