TIIE EXAMINEE. SAX FRANCISCO; SATURDAY MORXTNG, MARCH 30, 1895, 11 AT WOW FOR SPORT -ASTREAM CYCLING MM COMMENT. A Review of Former Relay Races and Probable Selections for the Coming COLUMBIA BICYCLES nent men. Ail have cleared 21 feet and over. The effects of a perfect diamond upon the Stanford baseball nine were readily apparent in the game with the Reliance team on Saturday last For the most part the team held together in splendid stylo.

Unexpected batting ability was developed, whicn added materially toward victory. The battery work of McLalne and Russell is all that ran be desired. McLaine has more strength than last season and displays clever head work ih men on bases. Risseil throws splendidly and needs only tbe experience of sharp games to give him confidence. Younc, a sophomore, plays first base in good form.

Captain Dyer has taken up the duties ot the second bag easily and plays it with as much certainly as bis old position of third. Shortstop is still White has been shifted to third, where he has bad little tnnce between the fastest and slowest team gradually increases. Each club is anxious to gain lead early in the race, so that any accident happening to the representative of its teams may be tided over to the cext relay and tbe race saved to them. Each rider goes but ten milos, and is usually selected because of his kaowledge ot the ground allotted hira. Mrs.

H. F. Wynne accompanied her husband on a jaunt to San Jnse and return, a distance of 103 miles, on Tuesday last. The aotual riding lime was 8 hours, 55 minutes, which does not includo stops. Mrs.

Wynne rode in rational 'itume and used an historical wheat, it being the racer used by Eddie Bald in all his important engagements last year aud waigh-ing seven ecn pounds. The Wbetlmen's Training League of Los Angeles is one of the most unique cycling organizations on 'he Coast and has the largest membership list of any bicycle club in Southern California. As Its name implies. It is a training club, and conducts races at the Athletic Club track once a week during the season for nominal prizes. Quite ofton these prizes are such in name only, but the races are invariably hotly contosted, the ridors not fearing defeat so much as on a regular ia.X,7e,l; fl I'll Hi! ffl 1 1 1: THE WHEELMEN'S TRAINING LEAGUE.

PROMISING CALIFORNIA RACING MEN OF CLASS A. From recent pftotoflrnpru.J Mil i tVi? Illl I I I' I II i III V- yns President Jordan's recent warning against the provision of tb new Can law permitting the taking of "steelheads" In tide water at any time was not untimely, as is evidenced by the report of recent visit of angler- to Lagunitai in county. Several baskets of small trout, varying in length from five to ten Inches, were taken by the party. More than a dozen men were on the stream during last Sunday and ail killed plenty of small trout. All of the fish in the Lagunitas are steel- bead trout, and the removal of legal restrictions as to taking them in tide water throws down all bars and insures the quick cleaning out of that fine stream.

which should afford fair sport to any reasonable number of anglers until September. Every coast stream will be ruined In like manner unless by common consent men abstain from taking trout until the season regularly opens. A correspondent writes as follows: "The season for steelheads is now en the wane, those taken at present not being very firm. Two weeks ago Sunday a bin: killing was made on the Lagunitas, over twenty fish being taken between the countv bridee and the sandsplt, Messrs, Dolliver, Watts, Pockman and Miller being the most successful, although Lennie Pockman, sen of bat expert fly fisherman, got the biggest catch of all, tnree siz-pounaers going 10 bis count. Pooktnan senior landed the Unrest one for the day.

This fish made the gamest fight of all, and it was a great tussle before it was finally bagged. It became bo intoresting that all lines were taken in to watch the contest, and when it was weighed the scale marked eleven pounds. Last Sunday this variety of fish was verv scarce, only one being taken. Th was a six-pounder, and was caught sear the bridge by young Pocknan." Angler Joe Nugent, downatSoquel, gives notice that tbe Supervisors of Santa Cruz county have chanced the trout law for that county so that, the fishing season coens on May 1st Tbe change will disar range many plans made for next week, but on tbe whole it Is a judicious one ana win do much to make sport in midsammer. The statute governing the powers of Supervisors as to game and llsh reads: To provide by ordinance, not in conflict with tbe general laws of the State, for the protection of fish and game, and may shorten the close season for the taking or killing of fish and gam within the dates fixed by the general State laws, but shall not lengthen tbem." When Miss Ada M.

Lansing, now Miss Brngg, began her excursions in search of field sports a few years ago, she attempted a compromise beteen comfort and conventionality, and wore skirts or gowns not very dissimilar to those ltl which she shopped. But it was not long until for shooting trips she bad arranged a dress perfectly suitable, while for troutlng she attired herself in snugly fliung boots that were knee-high and laced to the tops. Heavy woolen knickerbockers and a loose woolen upper garment finished her uniform, and in it she was equal to any demand in Jumping from rock-to rock as she tishod, or mountain climbing or facing thickets. Mrs. Bragg's distinguished success as an angler and the enthusiasm which she showed did much to inspire other ladies to learn to cast a fly, and once reasonably expert it was natural that the ladies should desire to prove to their husbands and friends that they were equal to the real work of killing trout Mrs.

NEW CHAMPIONS LOOMING UP. Several Records Broken During Practice-Baseball and Tennis Games to Be Played During the Spring. Stanford Usivebsitt, March 29. The three sets ot athleiio young mon at the Stanford University are pegging away at their respective sports with a vim just at present, the time tor the opening of the triangular contests being close at band.

Tbe month ot April will see the Inter-collegiate supremacy settled In baseball, track athletics and tennis. During tho few remaining weeks of preparation the track, diamond and courts wiU be as enthusiastically guarded by the undergraduate as tbe football oval before Thanksgiving Day. The Intercollegiate field day will take place in San FrancUco on April 20th. The opening baseball game is scheduled for Berkeley on the 6th, the second in San Franoisoo on tho 13th, and the final game in Palo Alto on Wednesday, the 24th. The tennis contests, also three iu number, and are to be played during April in San Francisco, Berkeley and Palo Alto, though specific dates have sot yet been determined upon.

The quarter-mile running track as it stands at the present time is as fast a stretch as there is on the Paciflo Coast For distance runs it is exceptionally fast, and hundred and two hundred and twenty yard dashes, parts of which are laid on a curve, are by bo means slow. The trials of skill during the past week have resulted in several very oreditable performances. Five Stanford University records were broken in a single day. Bern-hard lowered the 230-yard dash from 23 4 5 seconds to 23 3-5 seconds. Cope- STANFORD ATHLETES WHO ARE From a photograph taken land placed the 880-yard record at 2 a surprising feat and Culver, without in centive, ran the 120-yard hurdle race in 17 4-5.

Tbe best record heretofore in this event was in tneceia events watsontnrewtnenam- mer 93 faet 1 inch, the best Stanford throw ever made, but still a poor distance when compared with other college records. Johnson cracked the college record and nearly tied the intercollegiate broad jump in a leap ot 2 1 feet 7 inches. In practice previously be had cleared 21 feet 10 inches. It seems at present that the same men who have represented Stanford in tho two last seasons in the sprints will again be ber entries, with possibly a few additions, Bern-bard and Woodward are still at the head of the list of candidates. Of tbe new men in this lino of track work Carter, Baldwin, Mace, Toombs and McGrew are the most promising.

Knowles and Frye are still somewhat handicapped by illness. Copeland's work in the half-mile run has been improving ana ne snouia nmsn wen among tbe leaders in tbe meets ot next month. Hollv, Mil ward, Frye and Gale are tbe other candidates in this event Four men are striving to gain proficiency in the 220-yard hurdlo race. They ara Culver, Colliver, H. Rarnolds and Lewis.

All are fas but only Culver has hurdled to any extent. Captain Brown has not reached his form In the mile run. Heavy training will be neoossary to bring him into winn.ng condition. The same runners mentioned as half-mile candidates are also daily practicing the mil. In the 120-yard hurdles, the 220-yard men are also at work without exception.

Timm, '96, a brother of Henry Timm, who carried off intercollegiate honors in the mile walk several years ago, is doing splendid work in this event (n form ana ac ion he much resembles his brother. Farmer, winner ot last year's collegiate mile walk, is on the track, as are Rosendale and Wilkinson, also old mon. Four men bold the scratch in the -two-mile bicycle race. They are Frater, Jar-man, Desimona and Alexander. Frazier hails from Portland, and the other three are clever riders, who have gained experience under the wings of the Garden City Club.

Pillsbury, Vandeveer, Gregory and Roper are among the other candidates in the bicycle eveut. Fryo and Knowles, both at present in poor form from la grippe, who have run several clever races in San Francisco field days, will probably be the Stanford representatives in the quarter-mile dash. Hays, Toombs, Howell, Har- relson and Spalding are also jogging this 1 distance daily. The men in tne tieiu events are doing; clever work. Ta polo vaulted, iiil aiivi broad jumpers have been especially successful.

Nino feet six inches has been cleared easily of late by Dole, Culver and Calboun. The last named gave promise of record breaking ability both in this line and in high jumping, but illness has taken him from tbe field and handicapped his work. Harry Reynolds and Toombs are confining themselves principally, to the high jump. They are doing credl able work. Field and Flokert, the guards on the 'Varsity fcotball team of last season, are at work on the shot-put sad hammer throw.

Field has reached the 35-foot mark. Watson leads in hammer throwing. Johnson, Culver and Dolt ara the three most proml- 7 71 1 STtnytd at E.

Sbee-ban in center and Calhoun in right are playiog a sure fielding game, but owing to spring illness are not batting in old-time form. The series of class games which has done so much to develop players has been won by the pioneer class of '95. A set of sweaters has been donated to tbe senior ball nine. The freshmen are being coached into form by tbe upper-oarsmen for their intercollegiate game with the Berkeley '08 men.

The present freshman olass Is by far the largest that ever entered college, and much of the U. future In athletics depends upon the excellence of the ma terial contained in it The sophomore class has turned out several Coast champions, and some of the best athletes in college oontest under its colors.

The most interesting events of the day will probably bo tbe 100-yard and tbe 220-yard dashes, as in them Champion Scoggins of '97 and I. L. Barnes of '9 8 will settle the newly arisen question of supremacy. Barnes is the promising freshman who has been sprinting around the track at such phenomenal speed this season. Scoggins is well known by his record of 10 seconds flat made in the 100-yard dash last year.

Melvin Dozier is another freshman who will bear watching. He is the new broad juniper who astonished the orack men by making a fair jump of 21 ft 5 in. at his first attempt last week. Eugene Trefothen, '97, has agaic brought out his spikes and will run tho half mile. He ran tbe distance recently in 2 :08.

Dorn, '98, is a new athlota who gives promise of speed in bis training and who will be well tried out to day. Brown, '9S, will try to former record of 4:43 ia the mile run. -is tbe most promising candidate for the mile run present in college. Bornard Miller, '97, the all-round athlete, has again entered the Sold and will compote under his olass oolors in several events. R.

Miss Liberty, born, reared and still living high among the hills at the head of the Lagunitas, holds peculiar opinions about tbe dress most suitable for the lady who would taue trout I think," Miss Liberty says, "that a pair of strong, common boots and an old-cast-off skirt are as good as any thing. Von must wear thick covering for the feet and then you don't care for splash of water now and then or if your skirt is draggled or torn. I have a pair of leather boots and wade when 1 need to and never suffer from it I think a lady ought to be a better angler because she is patient and quiet and stops so often to look at ferns or the pretty things along the creek that if she has alarmed any trout they forget about it and she catches them when she begins nsbing again." Tbe -success of the lady anglers pictured from time to time in the Examiner has aroused many other ladies to tbe pleasures to be enjoyed in trouting, and some parties are being formed in which ladies are to do the flsning and only gentlemen enough to care Tor camp, carry wood and do the oook ing are to be invited.

Miss Effle Walker of Sequoia, near Boulder Creek, is to entertain such a party ot L.os uatos irienas early in tne season Several brooks and tbe San Lorenzo river are near her borne, and she is able to in struct her guests in tbe art of fly-easting, because since a child she has caught trout The party is to be turned loose in a cabin on the Walker ranob, and must catoh fish or go nungry.

Last year, when the distance was ten miles, W. A. Terrlll finished first In 80 minutes, and the slowest time ot the seven couriers was 84:15.

Last year the Acmes were red-hot favor ites for the race, but the Garden City Cyclers took the lead on the fifth relay and won handily in 5 hours 23 minutes and 21 seconds.
