Anglers i'm Practice
With Trout Rods

The fact that the trout season will
open next Friday undoubtedly had a
stimulating effect upon the expert rod
wielders OF this city. as the contest Of
the San Francisco ny casting club at
Stow lake, Golden Gate park, yesterday
attracted an unusually large attend
ance DOC" Watt, C. G. Young and
other ardent anglers were on hand to
place the finishing touches upon their
practice before putting their skill to
the test on the trout streams. L. c.
Kierulff and H 3. Sperry showed their
skill by making perfect scores in the
delicacy event, which Is similar TO
angling for trout.
The most sensational performance
was the distance cast made at the Sat
urday competition by ]. b. Kenniff. In
this he sent out a total of 134 feet of
line, which is claimed as the worlds
record for distance casting. The off,
cials announced the former record as
1913 feet, made by Walter D. Mansfield
on August 3, 1902. AS the line is un
weighted this is remarkable feat
Few men angling for trout send out
more than SO feet OF line, the bulk of
the fish being taken on casts of from
S5 TO so feet. The official scores:

Fast Track Promises
High Class Sporf
Owners of Mudlarks Do Not
Figure to Win Many
More Purses
BY j. r. Jeffery

After having been a trifle slow for
several days as a result OF the rain of
last week, the track at EmeryviIle will
be as fast as ever today, and it may
reasonably be expected that the mud
larks will have to be relegated to the
shelf during the remaining six weeks
of the season. The mudders have had
little opportunity to display their PROV
ess of late. and many of the owners.
who have superior wet track per-
formers, would have welcomed good
downpour of rain quite as much as the
agriculturists of the interior of the
state. Horsemen who are planning a
summer campaign at Seattle will find
an occasional opportunity to race their
mudders at The Meadows, but in the
main fast track horses will gather the
money hung up at coast tracks be-
tween now and next December.
Analysis of the caliber of the eligi-
bles for the Seattle derby, the list of
nominations for which has just been
announced, foreshadows a. contest in
the northern year old classic. which
will be watched with interest by turf
men throughout, the country. With
such a formidable array of probable
starters as Early Tide, Pajaroita, Col
lege Widow, Brookleaf. Gene Russell,
Glorio, Boggs. Joe Nealon, Brookleaf,
Ahearn and Adena, it is easy to be
seen that the race will be of far greater
Importance than any of its predeces-
sors at The Meadows.
According to reports from New York
Montgomery and Uncle, the stars of
the Hildreth stable, are in splendid
condition, but will be reserved for the
richer stakes of the eastern season, to
be run a little later on. Uncle is now
as sound as a bell and many experts
predict that he will beat any year
old In training this year, not even ex-
cepting the great Colin and Celt both
of which took his measure last year.
Montgomery is in particularly fine
fettle. having reached the east as fat
as butter ball. and with coat as
rich and sappy as a piece of satin 1t
1T Is said to be Hildreth's intention to
race him almost exclusively in weight
for age events, rather than in handi-
caps, where he would have to carry
excessive weights. He probably will
make his eastern debut in the Jockey
Club stakes at Belmont park, May 2S.
which was the first eastern race that
he won last season. AfeeIick is a bit
Jaded after his California and New Or
leans campaign, and Hildreth probably
will give him chance to freshen up
before starting him again.
w. V. Conran Is certainly playing in
luck. He has received word that a
commission of $500. which he had re-
quested friend in the east to get down
for him on C. w. Riley, the medium of
MS recent coup, was bet in an eastern
poolroom after he had duplicated the
order in another poolroom, with the ex-
pectation that his first ARRANGEMENT had
nfsoarried. This means that he cleaned
up about $4,000 more than he had
counted upon.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
on to Victory

STOCKTON, April 26.--In the fastest
and best played game Of the season on
the local grounds the Fresno state
Ieaguers were defeated by the Stock
ton champions today before the largest
crowd ever assembled on a ball field in
this city. Although Stockton had to
take diminutive Joe Joyce from third
to fill the vacancy behind the bat. the
teams seemed to be evenly matched and
1t was anybody's game to the last
inning. Miller for Fresno pitched great
ball, allowing but five hits. Henderson
had the Fresno batters at his mercy
and gave them four scraggling hits.
The feature of the game was the heavy
batting of Shay. who tore off two three
baggers. Morrison won the game for
the champions during the early innings
by sending swift one past third for
two stations while two men were on
bases. The score:

T0N0PAH MEN BUY PLACER
GROUND FOR DEVELOPMENT
Property Near Midas Comprises
TWenty-one Rich Claims-Aver-
age Samples Run 81
Cubic Yard

TONOPAH, Dec 27.:-Near the town
of Midas and about six miles from Ber-
lin a company of Tonopah and Gold
field men have acquired twenty-onc
claims of placer ground. The company
is incorporated under the name of the
Nevada Placer Mines company, and in
terested in it are E. j. Collins and I.
D. Murphy of Goldfleld and Walter d.
Cole and several other local parties.
Mr.. Murphy of Goldfield at one time
was owner OF the Combination Frac-
tion. J. T. Coker is general manager of
the company.
The property is estimated to be one
of the largest placer deposits in the
state of Nevada, and average samples
taken from the entire group give re-
turns of about 81 a cubic yard. The
gold will go about 1890 an ounce.
The company has started work on
the property and intends to expend
about $4,000 in improvements before
the work is actually started. There is
an abundance of water. which has been
developed at a distance of two miles
from the property, and the company
already has sent out pipe to convey the
water. About eighteen men are now
employed in the work of erecting the
machinery, building sluice boxes and
completing the pipe line.
The bedrock is at an average depth
of six feet, and the company has ~sti-
mated that 1t will be able to work over
a million cubic feet of earth.
