TROUT STREAMS
ARE RECKONING
ANGLING HOSTS
Stories of the Sport on the
Klamath River Stir the
Blood of Many SpOrtsmen
BIG DEMAND FOR FLIES
Rush Shows the Fishermen
Are Preparing for An
nual Outings Far Afield

A. M. Cumming, whose fame as an
angler is known far and wide, has just
returned from the klamath, tanned as
brown as an Indian and with tales of
the fishing afforded by that noble
stream which send the blood coursing
and surging through the veins of a
sportsman.
In four weeks Mr.. Cumming took 65O
pounds of trout at a point on the
stream within hundred yards of the
hotel. His best catch for one day was
thirty -eight fish of an average weight
of two pounds. The smallest catch was
ten fish. AS the flies were not out he
used the spoon or minnow or crawfish.
The salmon and codis flies are out
now and the trout are striking freely.
The small streams tributary to the
river-Jenny Greek, Bogus, Fall and
Shovel Creeks-will be at their best for
flydshing next week. They will afford
sport throughout the season.
In July the quinnat salmon will COM
mence to run, and many large fish are
taken each year. The country is
sportsman's paradise, as deer. doves,
quail and other game are to be found
in abundance during the season. 1t is
twenty-four hours from San Francisco,
and of the total distance there is only
nine miles of staging. The klamath
Lake Railroad conhects with the South
ern Pacific.
The mountain streams and lakes are
unusually backward owing to the Sc
we're winter. The ice Is just beginning
to break uD at Webber and Independ-
ence lakes, and there will be but little
fishing there until about the 10th inst.
The season will open at Bassett's,
famous resort forty-eight miles north
of Truckee, between July l and 10.

skilled riding masters in their clever
handling of their mounts, the latter as
a class would make a sorry appear
ance in the show ring. There has
been a tendency to think that nature
designed all horses for saddle pur-
poses, when such is far from being
fact. Any horse was considered good
enough to ride, with the result that
there was no we'll defined type, no one
breeding with the object of making up
the deficiency.
The frequenters Of Golden Gate
Park have recently noticed COM
paratively new type of saddle horse,
the peacocky high stopper from the
blue grass country, which has all the
airs and graces of a ballet dancer.
These are the property of A. G. Spald-
ing, the sporting goods man, and OF
his son. Keith Spalding, who have de-
termined to ascertain If there is
demand in California for horses bred
especially for saddle purposes and
then brought to a high state of de-
velopment by experienced horsemen.
The Messrs. Spalding have coun-
try place at Pacific Beach, near San
Diego, where they have established
the American Saddle-horse Breeding
Farm. At the head of their stud they
have the stallion Rex Montgomery. a
brother of Rex Mcdonald, the most
famous representative of the Ameri-
can or Kentucky type of saddle-horse.
They have selected twenty brood
mares in Kentucky and Missouri and

TENNIS HONORS
In The BALANCE
MacGavin and MurdOck Will
Meet in Match for Cham
pionship of San Francisco

Fhe question as to who VIII be ten
mis- champion Of San Francisco for the
wear 1904 will be decided tomorrow
afternoon. At 2:3O o'clock on the Cali
fornia Club courts Percy Murdock, the
tournament winner. will meet J. Drum
nond MacGavin. the holder Of the
title, in the challenge match. These
two players are as evenly matched as
any two on the coast. They play the
same style Of game. and when they
come together a fast match viii result.
Both play q driving, hard-hitting
game. and there is little chance of its
being a long drawn out match. Muir
dock is in slightly better form than
MacGavin, but the latter may have one
OF his good days, when he is almost
invincible. This is the first time Muir
dock and MacGavin have come together
in a championship tournament, al
though they have been in tournaments
together many times. MacGavin
smashes and volleys better than his
opponent. but Murdock has a better
back hand stroke and a more puzzling
service.
The tournament completed last Sun
day developed two young players who
viii undoubtedly become champions
before many years have passed These
youngsters are Herbert Long and Her
bert Schmidt. Long is undoubtedly the
most promising player on the coast
He has been playing less than two
years and still beat men like Mitchell
and Dunlap easily. Long was beaten
by Allen in the semi-finals. He did not
play his best game in this match and
was pitted against a veteran. Allen
plays a tricky game, and his many
years Of experience were too much for
Long The latter practices constantly,
and II he improves in the next year as
he has in the past the champions viii
have to look TO their laurels.
Schmidt has been playing for years
but does not practice regularly. Lately
he has been taking the game seriously
and has improved noticeably. In the
last class singles he won the second
class easily. He had one of his good
days on Sunday and beat George Baker
the champion Of the park and one OF
the cleverest players in the city, easily,
ScnmlQl, ike Long, lell a Nlcllfn 10 Al
lens skill. He made a good showing
but did not play near the game he did
against Baker.
Another promising young player is
Clarence Griffin Of the Golden Gate
Club. He was not beaten until he
went against Murdocl, the tournament
winner.
The State championship tournament
is less than a month off. In this event
which viii be played at San Rafael
the same players will compete, except
that the winner will play Grant Smith
instead Of MacGavin. The latter will
not take part
Richworth Mekelson, at one time one
Of the best players on the coast. is in
town and is playing regularly. He will
probably play at San Rafael. Mekelson
was the academic champion for sew
eral years.
The class singles tournament which
was commenced at the park several
weeks ago will be finished tomorrow.

The advance in public favor Of the
automobile as a vehicle of pleasure

no inroads upon the popularity of the
horse as a heathful and an enjoyable
conveyance about the country. The
