TRAP SHOOTING
FOR SpORTSMEN.

The California Wing Club will shoot at live pigeons tomorrow at the Olympic Gun Club grounds, Ingleside; the Re- liance Gun Club will meet on the Webster street grounds in Oakland and smash blue rocks, and the Golden Gate Club will hold it's monthly shoot at Alameda Junction.
 A professional duck hunter named I,e- gros, who has "camped'' in the marshes of Suisun for the past twenty-sIx years. visited this city recently, and while conversing on matters that pertain to shooting and fishing, said that the carp which were so numerous in the marshes and rivers. are fast disappearing because of the growing scarcity of the vegetation upon which they exist. They have cleaned out everything eatable in the way of food" said MT. Legros, and from what I can learn the carp are moving down to the salt marshes where there still remains some pickings. The striped bass are also becoming very scarce and I attribute this to the departure of the carp. The young of the last named fish are the food of the bass. The wild ducks which visited the Suisun marshes in thousands before the coming of the carp, are also growing scarce, as the carr, have devoured the natural food of the birds.r

As the weather has been quite cold for the past few weeks, it Is said that the trout of streams north of this city have not yet commenced to rise to flies A few days of sunshine will, however make change for the better. The spoon and spinner should prove killing lures to-day and tomorrow.
 As stated in yesterdays Call the wood near Lagunitas Creek for some months past have ruined the fishing of that beau ttiful stream to a great extent by plac- ing dynamite cartridges in the deep pools A Deputy Fish Commissioner has been on the lookout for the vandals, but his efforts to, make capture have proved futile. Last. Tuesday fifty dead fish, ranging in size from three inches to six. teen inches, were taken from a pool about one mile above the point where the La. gunitas meets the Paper Mill Creek.

COLLEGE MEN
 OUT FOR RECORDS.


 One week from to-day the first inter collegiate baseball game will be played. Then for a month every Saturday will find the town a-1utter with the red of Stanford and the blue and gold of Califor- nia The struggles on the diamond are dated for April g, Is and 30; the field day is set for April 23.
 Following the precedent set in former years the two colleges are at present en- gagged in furnace-like altercation over the locality and the time for the bicycle race. The Olympic track is totally un- suited for cycling races, and it is almost destructive to life to attempt to run a fast race on it. California has conceded to Stanford the right of selection of either the place or time, but Stanford will not be placated by any such concession. It was almost tacitly understood that the race was to be run at San Jose. This is Stanford's choice, but rider was attached to 1t. that the race must be scheduled for the day preceding the inter- collegiate meet. California positively re- fuses to comply with this second demand, and there the matter rests. It will be remembered that at the last moment d year ago complications arose which were almost instrumental in preventing the field day.
 This afternoon at Berkeley the annual
 
 crowd of spectators, for the athletic flower of the university will compete. It is thought that many records will be anni- Inflated. Drum will try for a new record in the 220-yard run. He has covered that distance in g seconds on curved track,
 attempt to improve on that performance.
 Ray Carroll will try for a new record in the mile run. Should the record be broken the medal which John Elliott of- fered some years ago will be worn for the first time. Walsh, the mile walker, is also out for record honors. Guiberson, the weight man, is another looking for the laurels of transcendent success and his special effort will be confined to toss ing the shot over forty feet.
 The list of entries for the championship field day are as follows:
 One hundred yard dash-C. Hing 01, E.. Dickson O1, R. Woolsey 01, w. Drum %, R. Simonds %, c. Grieve 01. c. Brougton %, J. McNab %, W. Haskins 01.

RACKET WIELDERS
 ON THE COURTS.

The try-out tournament of the Univer- sity of California tennis men will be played this afternoon on Oakland courts. The winners in this competition will be selected to meet Stanford in the annual games Sumner Hardy has a tight hold on first place, but there will be hard rub for the selection of the other blue and gold representative.
 There is movement in tennis circles to have tournaments. singles and doubles, in the bay cities every two weeks. If the plan can be effected the first tourna- ment will be held at San Jose, on the Hotel Vendome courts. about the end of the month. After that the tournament promoters have picked San Rafael for the scene of their activities.
 It looks as if a number of Fasteners would be brought out this autumn. After champions of the country compete, no tennis of any importance holds these players in the East. Two years ago an attempt was made to bring out Wrenn, dropped out of it at the last moment. This year there will be a more system atic trial to have the champions of the United States visit this coast If the plan proves feasible the stellar wonders of the tennis Armament will be out here in September, the time of the Pacific Coast championship doubles tournament At the California Club courts the week has been quiet one. The Whitneys have rested after their struggle on the Placer county courts. Some of the matches played during the week are worthy of mention. J. A. Code beat Dr. Root GA, 6-4, 4-6. 7-9, 6-3. Alice Hoffman beat Jack Carrigan 6-1, 62 Miss Bowman defeated Grace Notion 6-1, 6-2. 614. G. Smith and Kellogg succumbed to Stauf and Walter GA, GA, 7-5. Miss Clark and Miss Hoff- man beat Miss Hunter and Miss Bowman 7-5, 6-4. Miss Hoffman beat Miss Clark GA. In three sets between Bradshaw and Bliver, the latter took none. Bliver re- turned the compliment in three straight sets with Dr. Root and made matters even in sets.

 The greatest drawback to-day with women that Work in the stores and fac tories is that they. do not take the right care of. their health. Business men fre- quently say they can't depend on women because they are i'll too often. If every young woman would take the right care of herself this complaint would never be heard.
 Many thousands of young women are working, suffering agonies that would force a man to sick bed. They bear their tortureS in silence because of their inborn modesty and blame their mother for not advising them.

Friday Is very appropriate day for the opening of trout-fishing season.
 Last evening, several anglers who could not resist the temptation of whip at some favorite stream, returned from the country with baskets filled with small fishes. The unlucky ones said that the opening day of the trout-fshing season should be changed from April l to some other day. Anglers not acquainted with the fishing waters within easy reach of this city can find the information they desire by scanning over an article which appeared in the sporting department of last Saturdays Call
 Lovers of the sport who returned last evening from the country reported that the streams are low and clear and the fish very shy.
 The Paper-mill and Lagunitas Creeks were whipped by quite a number of opening -dayers," and although some very nice trout were caught, the majority of the whippers had creels which con- tained fingerlings, averaging five and six inches in length. J. Moran caught four trout near the headwaters of Lagunitas, the smallest of which weighed half a pound and the largest 312 pounds. The gentleman had also several nice pan fish in his basket. He stated that he had seen quite number of large fish. which darted into deep water the instant they saw danger near. Had it not been for cold ana DluSler1nS WlnQ, nSnlnS III the Nlcln- tty of Libertys would have been good yesterday.
 The most favorable reports were re- ceived from anglers who fished Boulder Creek, Los Gatos Creek and the Iesca- dero lagoon. The following letter from Cloverdale which was received last Mon day speaks for itself:
 Replying to your telegram regarding fishing in this vicinity, will state am informed of its being good. All tributaries to Big Sulphur are said to be first class. The water is about high enough and clear. If don't get any more rain before the 1st of April to raise and rifle the water there will be good sport. The higher up into the mountains the better the fishing. Yours respectfully, F. $. FIELD.
 A dispatch received last evening from Cloverdale said that excellent catches were made yesterday between Cloverdale and the GeyserS.
 Whippers will be out to-day and to- morrow in strong force and as the creeks are low and clear it is thought that large numbers of baby trout will be creeled by those who take a pleasure in playing hog. Trout under four inches should be returned to the stream, dead or alive.
