What the Athletes Are Doing in the Field
and Other Meetings.
BITS OF LIFE IX THE TENNIS COURTS.
The past week has been full of fair prom
ises and disappointments. Uncle Jerry
Busk was responsible in part for the prom
ises and the weather for the disappoint
ments. On several occasions the early
morning hours of deceptive days gave as
surance that storms were a thing of the
past, but, ere the afternoon had grown old,
thunder and lightning, rain and wind
reigned supreme. Plans for tours on
wheels, tournaments of tennis on private
and club grounds and other outings were
thus rudely set aside, only to be made and
frustrated on the succeeding day.
The mildest of the amateurs called the-
weather simply exasperating when so many
important events that need preliminary
practice are pending. According to all cal
culations made when the winter snows were
till on the ground, practice should have
commenced eix weeks ago and have con
tinned uninterruptedly until the present.
But it has hardly begun yet, and there is a
backwardness in every direction that will
be fc"lt when our champions come in compe
tition with those of more favored localities.
Some of the venturesome have taken ad
vantage of the few clear, dry hours, and
have secured an hour or fo here and
therefor cxercitation, but -alien it did not
rain it was muddy and some of the mire
still linpers. When clearing time
does come, then will there be a general cry
of relief, not only from the wheelmen, the
tennis enthusiasts, and the cricket and ball
players, bet from those who are to compete
in events in field meetings. It has been a
sad. sad spring, but, as a lady cyclist re
cently remarked, it is hoped that it will bs
a "real old-lashioned summer."
The athletic sports on the Fourth of July
promite to be one ot the most interesting
leatures of the day. The A. A. TT. of this
city and Allegheny were wie in giving the
arrangement oer to Prof. ICirchner, who is
already busy with the affairs of this feature
of the celebration. He has prepared entry
blanks and all the amateurs in this part of
the country are invited to take part It is
his intention, and he will accomplish it if
anyone can, to make the meeting the most
successful that has ever been held in Pitts
burg. It will eclipse all former efforts in
this direction. Schenlcy Park has been
chosen as the spot and the following is to be
the list of eents: 10l)-vard dash,
110-yard hurdle race, hoii-step-and-jump,
220-yard dash, luunin? hieh kick,
puttin; 16-pound shot, 440-ya-d dash,
440-vard dash, one mile bicvele race, throw
in? 16-pound hammer, one-half mile run,
two-mile bicycle race, sack race, one-mile
run, running broad jump, tug of war (625
pounds limit, four men), pole vaulting and
runnirg lii-li jump. Gold and silver
medals for first and accond prizes will be
given in each event.
It has not yet been decided when entries
will close, but thoe who intend to be con
testants should send in their names as early
as possible. Entry blanks have been sent
to the athletic associations and have been
left at the following places: George

The more intereststhat can be provided for
the members, the more enthusiasm will be

ular and these side issues are last tending to
make it more so.
Numbered among the members of the
East End Gym wheelmen are now some two
score ladies. The last additions to the
membership were made on Monday evening,

The East End Gym wheelmen had a most
pleasurable run on Friday evening. They
started from the Gym at 7:15 and rode to
Wilkimburg and returned to Halket street,
where they dismounted and rested 15 min-
xninntei. Then they rode to Penn avenue,
near Shadr, where they partook of refresh
ments and separated, many of the riders
trying the effect of moonlight on the paved
streets of the East End. 'As nsual Captain
J. P. Culbertson led the run. He was ac
companied on his new Worth tandem by
Miss Nellie Crouch. The other ladies in
the party were Miss Hubbard, Miss Mat
thews, Miss McCleery, Miss Davis, Miss
McQuistan, and as guards there were about
20 gentlemen. The next run will take place
on Saturday, when the wheelmen will join
in the great lantern parade. Chief Mar
shal Culbertson, of the parade, savs that it
will be the biggest thing ever attempted in
this part of the country, and he is authority
that cannot be disputed.
The East End Gyms have a. new set of
officers. Their recent exciting campaign is
over and the Gyms have settled down again
to enjoy a season of quietude undisturbed
by log rolling for candidates for office. The
affair was concluded last Monday night
when the members decided by a majority
upon the following officers for the year:

To-morrow and Tuesday will be great days
of sport for the cricket enthusiasts. The
Detroit team will then test the strength ot
the Wilkinsburg eleven. This match was
to have been played some ten days ago, but
the previous weather had been so execrable
that the Detroiters asked for a postpone
ment on the ground that they had had no
time for practice. The Wilkinsburg team
was in no better shape, and consented regu

team will be constituted as follows: Hague,

MacPherson, A. 8. Valentine, a V. Childs
and Walter Scott There ought to be a
large attendance on both davs at the
grounds at Brushton station. The game
will be all the more interesting because the
match is on July 4 and 5, between the Chi
cagoes and the winners of this game. There
are four other inter-city matches to be
played this season as follows: Jane 27, 28,
Philadelphia versus Baltimore; June 29, 30,
New York versus Boston, at Philadelphia,
and on July 1 and 2 the winners of these
two matches will play together. The final
match between the winners of the Eastern
and Western series will be played on Sep
tember 17, 18, and will be played in the
Western city whose team wins the preced
ing contests. It therefore behooves the
Wilkinsburgs to defeat the Detroits and af

He will have a grand time; there is no
donbt about it The route laid out includes
a seven mile coast down a mountain on a
road overlooking the Bhine, where the
scenery is magnificent Mr. Allerton is an
indefatigable cycler and never missed a day
in May, notwithstanding the weather. His
mileage record for that month was over 500
miles, and for 20 days it rained. It was in
1880 that he first rode a wheel, and since
that time he has scarcely missed a daily
ride winter or summer.

Several parties are in prooess of forma
tion for runs both to the State meet at
Scranton and to the national meet at Wash
ington. Mr. Petticord is arranging to con
duct a party of ladies and gentlemen on
wheels to the national meet, and to make it
pleasant for the lady riders he intends to
allow them to set the pace. The party will
take the train to Martinsburg, and as the
balance of the way is through magnificent
scenic country the wheels will be called
into use to complete the journey. It is alio
his intention to get up a party of 25 to take
a special car to the State meet at Scranton,
and as there is no time to be lost in making
arrangements, names of those who intend to
join his parties will have to be forwarded to
him at once. Horace J. Hill.

Over 22 mileage medals were awarded by

Ami still the mud is muddy. Some of the
wheelmen Bay they are getting real tired of
it and that they would like to see a little dry

woman or child, was out and the streets

Da.it Cajjabt is said to be the champion
trick riding cyclist of the world. He seems
to be able to ride up and down stairs aa

Thb Allegheny wheelmen will probably
make several entries of members in the
events at the State meet. Just who will

Mr. Culbkktsok, of the East End, is an ex

He has nearly a hundred tricks and styles
of riding and seems to be as much at home
on the wheel as on the giound.
The mileage record for May includes
Captain Frlesell 500 miles, Miller 484 miles,
Wilson 413 miles. Haves 322 miles, Boggs 388
miles, and McNish 293 miles. The June

by W. M. Myler and a number of other mem
bers of his association.

bicycle for courier service in the United
States army. One will be fiom San Fran

to dine at Wexford, and to return to the
club house via the Perrysville plank road
inside of 20 hours after the start
A eelat race to Butler, Harmony and
back to Allegheny is suggested as an adver
tisement to stir up the local riders into aa
effort to win fame. If such riders as Messrs.
Miller, Wilson, Petticord, Myler Bros., Lytle.
Eccles, A. L. Banker, Gibson, Carmaok and
Frlesdell could be entered for the raoe. fast
time oould be assured. Now that relays are
the rase, the wheelmen of Pittsburg might
as well have some or the fame.
Tins one-mile novice race, which is first on
the programme of the Kings County Wheel
men's events at the Manhattan fleldon June
25, is attracting more entries than any other
event on the card. Between 150 and 200
entries have been received for that alone,
and is Is expected that outside of the cham
pionship race the fastest time of the day
will be made in that race. The one-mile
ordinary also will have a large number of
entries.
Tennis Toarna'ettos,
It will be the fashion for tonnts players to
wear a delicate tan on their faoes and a few
freckles this summer. i
The Painter brothers are talking of again
entering the tennis arena for honors, both
in singles and doubles.
Trcrais has been added to plcnlo ground
attractions. The only trouble is that not
enough courts are provided.
A mixed double tournament is planned to
come off some time before July 1 on the
Pittsburg Tennis Club courts.
East End tennis courts were used but
little during the week though one or two
evenings the playeis ventured to stretch
their nets.
The Pittsburg Tennis Club's new bouse Is
being pushed forward rapidly and will be
ready for occupancy before the tournament
takes place in July.
Eablt tournaments seem to Lave but little
attraction for tbe first-class players. They
guard their actual condition as zealously as
do the college crews.
Whxejsburq tennis enthusiasts have been
In a constant state of Irritation lately over
the weather. It has rained Just enough to
keep the courts too soft for use.
Frtdat was ladles' day at tbe East End
Gyms' tennis courts and they were all occu
pied. For a while tbe weather was pleasant
and the courts In good condition.
Backets camo to the front yesterday.
Nkablt every private court and clnb net
in the city was in use yesterday. This shows
what a little good weather and sunshine
does.
Superior tennis players have been having
bad luck. Like the rest of tbe county they
have not bad opportunity to play even a
single set, and they are talking of a tourna
ment. The "Three A's" intend to have a tennis
club in the Western Pennsylvania Associa
tion. The courts opposite Becreatlon Park
in Allegheny will soon be in excellent con
dition, and it is expected that some crack
players, will be developed there this season.
There is some talk of a tournament among
the ladies of the East End Gyms and arrange
ments are being made with thatend in view.
If it occurs it will be very interesting, for
there are a number of (rood players setting
into practice whatever circumstances per
mit. Hard luck has cast a shadow over the
courts of tbe Pittsburg Tennis Club and the
courts have not been used much during the
past week. It is coming on time, too, when
those who are to take part in tbe champion
ship tournament next month shonld get into
good form and praotice (plenty of It) is
needed.
