14 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH,. SUNDAY, AUGUST 7. 189a AMATEURATHLETES. Tennis Enthusiasts Preparing for Many Tournaments Hereabouts. THE OPEN A1K MEETINGS Thicken in Number as the Season Tushes Its Way Onward. PLANS OF THE PITTSBUBG CLUB. Tropwed Reorganization of'the Onca Xoted I'ifle Club. MIES OF THE CYCLERS IX 1UXT FIELDS HERB was a time when rowing regattai on the waters hereabouts were the chief events of the year, but for some reason this exciting branch of amateur sport has been allowed to sink into a state of "innocuous des uetude" that is fast proving painful. It is really distressing to read of regattas on the Hud son or tome other water course that is no better for the purpose than our own. and to think that the wealth and beauty and fashion of Western Pennsylvania might be enjoying the same kind of sport if its citizens were only enterprising enough to bring about a reinstatement. There are in this vicinity as many people who take interest in re gattas as lucre are in any other iuland sec tion of the Union, and they believe that with careful fostering from a small start this season, the sport might easily be brought to the front, but no one seems will iuc to take the initial step. To make up for what is lacking in watery Sclds the tennis associations are preparing tn make matters lively enough on the courts during the next month or so. There is to be a tournament at Latrobe this week, and in the course ot the next tew weeks there will be three tournaments at the Pittsburg Tennis Club's grounds, one at the Sewickley Athletic Club's jrrounds, another at Cora ooli, one at the East End Gym courts and another is in prospect'at Kisk'iminetas. In one of the Pittsburg Tennis Club's tourna ments the enthusiasts will probably have sn opportunity of seeing some of the best players of the time. It is expected that they will be induced to stop over here on their way home lrom the big tourneys in lbs East. Football is coming into life with a vigor ous activity that promises well tor excel lent sport commencing next month. Sev eral teams are in process of formation and more are in contemplation. All of the players are enthusiastic, more enthusiastic than they were last year and they will go into the contests determined to win, what ecr the physical consequences. The Pittsburg Tennis Club has three tournaments on hand, a club tournament, a mixed doubles tournament and an invita tion tournament. The affairs of the club are in vry good shape at present, and the 100 or more members take a great interest in all that goes on, so that all three of these tourneys are certain to be the greatest of successes. Before any of them come off, the new clubhouse will be ready for nce.upa.ncy, and it will be a great iddition to the grounds. It contains a l.-vga tilwr ind dressing rooms for the la dies who are members of the club, and there are ample accommodations lor the men. There will be shower baths of the latest ap proved plan ami other luxurious accessories that cannot be dispensed with in an aggre gation like the Pittsburg X. C It will be only a week or so before the last bit of work on the house will be done, and then the members will move their belongings up from the old house they have occupied, and there will be a grand housewarming. At present a good many of the members are off to the seaside, but tbey will be back in time to take part in the tourneys. J. H. Dippold, who is one of the best road riders in this vicinity, took to the wheel iu 1887. He is one of the charter members ot the Allegheny Cyclers, and is the oldest member of that organization in town now. The attractions of the road out weigh everything else with him and he has never yet taken to the racing track, but h e takes a long tour in some direction every vear. He has been East as faras Boston on Lii wheel, West as far as Chicago and St. Louis, South to Fredericksburg, Va., and North to Buffalo and Kiagara Falls. He has also made some good time over rough roads. On one occasion he made 103 miles in nine hours and 45 Ijradt Milter. minutes with AI Banker, from Girard to Buffalo, on his Victor, and there is hardly a road in this part of the Union on which he has not made the dust fly while on his pleasure trips. This year he intends to take a trip through the Shenandoah Valley with several of the Allegheny cyclers. They will visit Richmond, Old Point Com fort and Norfolk. The picture presented of him in this issue was taken when he rode an ordinary. He now rides a pneumatic safety. Pittsburg was at one time noted all over the country tor her expert rifle team. The old Pittsburg Rifle Club possessed as good a 1,000-yard team as was to be iouml within 500 miles, and their 200-yard team was as line as any iu the country. The interest in rifle-shootins has died out, however, and Pittsburg does not now possess a thriving club in that line. The shotgun oflered ad antages in the ease by which one can be come an expert shot, aud the exciting sport of shootinc live birds diverted the atten tion of marksmen from the rifle to the shot gun. The old members of the Pittsburg Jtifle Club are about to revive the old time sport in all its glory. The scarcity of birds and came in general has caused a reversion of feeling in favor of the rifle, and the promoters of the reorganization think the time is now ripe lor forming a strong club. The promoters of the new club are Christopher JIagee, Jr., George Hodgdon, Dr. Keazey, D. H. Stoner, Dr. D. B. Ram fev, G. E. Painter, 0. A. Painter, L. Brend, Dr. II. P. Orr and Dr. Winslow. A meet ine to'effect an organization will be held Monday evening. Representatives of the different rifle clubs, which are barely exist ing in this city, will be present and will doubtless merge their associations into the new organization. "It is proposed to make this strictly a fjrst-class cluD in every way, said Vi. 1). g B. Ramsey. "It is our intention to buy a piece ot ground which, strange as it may sound, will not improve. "In our old club we had experience enough in this line to know exactly what we want. We would no sooner get a rifle range fixed up nicely than people would commnnoe to build up around us. Then the next thing we would hear would be all sorts ot complaints about the noise we made in firing, and finally an injunctions would come,preventlng us from using the range,and compelling us to move. No, this time we will buy some out-of-the-world lot which has not the least prospect of improving a cent's worth. We have a suitable lot now in view. On this we will erect complete 1,000, 900, 800 and 200 yard ranges. AVe are to have a fine clubhouse which will be a feature. Out of the members we now have in view, we could to-day get ajteam of ten men who would campare lavorably with any in the country. It we can judge by the team we had some years ago, hen the in ducements offered lor rifle practice were very slim, the recoil of the heavy guns we used being sufficient excuse tor any man tiring of the sport, we should hive a team now that could sweep the country." Some of the old members of the Pittsburg Rifle Club have fine records. Mr. G. E. Painter is probably the most expert shot gun and rifle target shot in the country. A gentleman saw Mr. Heed Bailer, son of Judge Bailey, shoot at COO yards range and put 35 consecutive shots in the butt's eye and at the 900-vard range score 16 bull's eves. There are still a few members of the old club who hold together and go around to the different shoots given by outside organizations and manage to carry off not a few of the prizes. Mr. D. H. Stoner on a recent trip succeeded in capturing a num. ber ot first and second prizes. The gentle men are verv enthusiastic over the prospeot of the organization ot the club aud are work ing hard for it. Louis Miller is a familiar rider about the WILLIAM TL WILSON, roads of Western Pennsylvania and adja cent sections of the union. He is a mem ber of the Allegheny Cyclers and com menced riding in 1889. As with many others in the club the race track has no at traction for him, and he has so far taken a largo amount of pleasure in viewing the country from his wheel. A year ago he rode to Chautauqua and return, and last year he rolled out lour centuries. So far this year he has made one century, but he is trying another to-day, to New Castle and return, and he expects to make five or six before the season is over. Since May 1 he has been on his wheel whenever business and weather permitted, and his mileage record so lar shows that he has worked the treadles for 1,899 miles. He says his cyclometer will show 5,000 miles before the year is over. He expects to be one of the party to go down the Shenandoah Valley this summer and will set a lively pace for the rest of them. Sewickley is getting ready for a tennis tournament, to be held there the last week in August Messrs. Christy, Porter and Woods have been appointed on the Com mittee of Arrangements and if anyone can carry it through to a success these three gentlemen can. Sewickley is a battlefield on which the tennis champions delight to meet and the entry list will be a large one. It will undoubtedly include nearly all of those who were at the Pittsburg Tennis Club's tournament and more besides. The Sewickley Athletic Association can afford to offer handsome prizes. It cleared some where in the neighborhood of (500 by its circus lately and is in good financial condi tion. Its courts are in good order and the surroundings ore pleasant, so that the at tendance will probably be all that could be desired, more than enough to pay all the expenses of the tourney. William H. Wilson is an active member of the Allegheny 'Cyclers, the Keystone Wheelmen, the Columbus Century CInb, the Three A'a and other organizations. He keeps his wheel busy, but so far this season has made only one century and his millage record shows 1.200 miles since May 1. His century was made with Mr. Pethcord oyer the Lake Shore road in 12 hours and 50 minutes, very good time considering the state of the roads at the time. He will make the run again and is confident that he can break the record. While he has never yet raced, he has an inclination that way and next season will probably be seen cross ing the wire in the lead in many of the races. He will race under the Three A's colors and judging from the time he made at a private trial a short time since, a trifle over 3 minutes, he will be a formidable opponent to some of the older hands. He was in the 13-mile; road race of the Key stones yesterday, an account of which will be found in another column. The second annual tournament of the La trobe Tennis Club will take place this week, commencing on Thursday and continuing on Friday and Saturday. It is open to the members of any of the clubs in Western Pennsylvania and it is more than probable that the entry list will be larger than last year. Some of Pittsburg's players will be theie and representatives ot several active clubs in the vicinity. The events will be gentlemen's singles and doubles; first, con solation and runner up prizes to be awarded in each, the latter to go to the losers in the final matches. Trial matches will be best two out of three sets, the rules ot the U. S. N. L. T. A. governing the plav. Entries will close Wednesday at 12 o'clock M. and will be received up to that time by John' Henderson, Secretary, box 366, Latrobe, Pa. Tbe drawings lor the preliminary round will be made at 1 o'clock p. M. on August 10 at the office of C H. Wakefield, IJgonier street, Latrobe, and all interested are invited to be present Those who enter at the tournament will be taken care of by the Latrobe Club and outside of the tennis there will be receptions to the visitors in the evenings. The prizes, it is said, are very handsome, and the members of the home club will make a hard fight to keep them. Messrs. Joseph OL Head, C H. Wakefield and John Henderson ar mem bers of the managing committee. v While doing Southwestern Ohio on their wheels, Messrs. Charles , Gilbert and Joe Deltov spent several very pleasant days with the Fred Will Fishing Club, of the West End, at their camp on Will's creek. Among the members of the club then in camp were the following gentlemen: Fred Will, B. Dugan. T, J. Shaughnessy, T. A. Dugan, J. Lauth, It. F. Walsh, J. Hart man, William Flvnn, T. L. MoHugh, J. F. Madden, J. Gaud'lv, J. Will, P. J. Dugan, William Dempsy, P. Walsh, F. Kelly, P. J. Sullivan and William Hartman. The boys have been having a very pleas ant summer and will be sorry when they have to leave their picturesque camp behind and come back to the stern realities, eta, for another year. They will bring with them, however, enough fairy tales of huge fishes to last until the next season. The Young Men's Catholic Club, of the West End, will have a big field day at Aliqnippa Grove on Saturday next. It Is expected that' about 4,000 people will be in attendance to witness the events, which will comprise 100-yard, 220-yard, 440-yard, 880-yard, one mile and two-mile runs, a 120 yard hurdle race, a tug of war, running high Jump, running broad jump and throw ing the base balk The following are the officers and committees: John Collins, President; John McCarthy, Viee President; Will P.

The Dispatch correspondent, writing from Asbury Park on Friday, says: To-day and yesterday were particularly bright occasions on account of the bicycle races in the athletic grounds and the pres ence there as a participant of Mr. Arthur A. Zimmerman, the champion wheelman, who has just returned from bis tramps in Eng land. Last evenlne the local club of Ijioy clists and numbers of visiting wheelmen held a Jantern parade along the beach on tbe famous old boardwalk, one of the most beautirul sights of the. summer. The wheels were beautifully ornamented and carried jnst sufficient light to brin? out the design which the rider desired to produce. Thirty lady bicyclists from all parts of the country took part in the parade. Frizes will later be awarded for the best decorations on this occasion. Mayor Edwin Stewart, of Phila delphia, antt-Mavor Daniel J. Bechtel, of Trenton, reviewed the parade and will act as judges in awarding tbe prizes. Along the route the houses were brilliantly illumi nated. On the evening before, tbe annual boat carnival, on Wesley Lake, a pretty sheet of water separating Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, was witnessed by the largest number of people ever assembled on a single occasion here. Scores and hundieds of people drove in from the snrioundlng resorts, Elberon, Spring Lake and Beltnar. All the cottages along the lako were splendidly lighted up, and very many made special decorations for the occasion. Mr. Cone, of Philadelphia, had a large. star, composed of lanterns, with one Eolnt resting against the gable of is house and the base 75 feet distant on the sidewalk near the lake. The long procession of boats moved up and down the lake to music of several bands andprodnced many beautiful designs with their evolutions. Prizes will be awarded for the most beautifully decor ated boats. After the carnival the Immense concourse of people dispersed, but thou sands of them were participants In the various parties and dances held in many gaily decorated houses, the occupants of which took advantage of the opportunity afforded to give a little social affair under such pleasant auspices. New life has been infused into the East End Gymnastic Club, or, as it will here after be known, the Pittsburg Athletic Club. It has within the past week finished the work of adopting its new constitution and its application tor permission to change its name is before the courts. One of the chief tilings accomplished by the change in the consti tution is the enlargement of the powers of the committees ands their increase in num ber. Each now has absolute control of everything pertaining to itsp articular brach. These committees are: House and field, Messrs. Lang, Herron, Scott, Richie and Davis; membership (elective), Messrs. Wells, Scott, King, Davies, Richie and Hartman; auditing,Messrs.Caruthers,Davies and Bell; baseball, Messrs. Stevenson, Dan Barrand Simons; football, Messrs. Barbour and Proctor; tennis and lacrosse, Messrs.' Dravo, McLaren and Culbertson; athletic, Messrs. A. D. Borland, Boren, Scott, Gard ner and'Wells. The President has under advisement the appointment of the wheel men's committee. Each of these committees is --already actively busy with the arrangements of eventsto come. For instance, the Athletic Committee has In hand the open .meeting' of September 3 and also the last field meet ing of the club later in September. The open meeting will be a great aflair, and amateurs from many outside cities will be entered, including the Schuylkill Navy, of Philadelphia; the Manhattan Clnb, ot New York; Cleveland, Detroit and other places that possess athletie organizations. A feat ure will be made of the wheel races, and it is expected that come 'of the fastest riders of the day will be there. The Columbia will have a team there, and another one will be on from Cleveland. The Tennis Committee is busy arranging for the tournament on September 8, 9 and 10. This will also be a great aflair and will contain mixed doubles that are alwavs among the most interesting events of 'a tourney. The committee if also taking stens to organize a lacrosse club. The Bane. ball Committee has the team thoroughly organized now and tho men wiU hereifter play steadily in the positions to which they are best fitted. On Tuesday it will meet the famous Fayette City team, one. of the strongest in the State. Just at present the entire attention is given to outdoor sports, but there, are plans lor indoor sports and amusements for the winter. A mandolin and sither olub is an assured thing and a glee olub is also a cer- X H. Dippold. tainty, and these organizations will make the East End quite musical. It ia in con templation to organize a fencing club to be a branch of the American League of Fencers, and there are several other plans on foot that will keep the interest of, the members at fever heat all through the closed season. At a meeting of the Membership Com mittee of the A. A. A., held on Thursday last, the following named were elected to active membership: Walter Green, Augus tus Hartje, Howard M. Hooker, T. M. Jones, Jr., Joseph L. Lyons, Radclifie Denniston and Henry Butteffleld. A num ber of others have been received since this meeting and will be acted upon at the next HOBACB J.

AnTnun BxKKEaand several friends, who are off on a tour, were in Sew York yester day and attended the Asbury Park races. The new clubhouse of the Kevstone Club Is progressing rapidly. The lumber ia all on the ground and tbe framework will soon be up. Philadelphia will have a race meet on September 17. The clubs hero should take steps to give a joint meet about the same time. Gbopqe A. Baitkeii lias received his specially built Raleigh wheel. It is a Im pounder and is tbe r&me kind of a machine tliat Zimmerman rides. Messrs. Wiisoir, Fetticorrt and Addy are off on a oeutnry run to New Castle and return to-day. They will try to make the run in less than 16 hours. Messrs. Petticoed, William W.

Bowsas, the Secretary of the Columbus Century Club, passed through the city dm ing the week. He was accompanied by 'Ills bride, for it is his wedding trip. He found time, however, to stop off and deliver some of tbe club badges .to its members here. Tennis Tournalerfea. Arthur Pier, who has been off on a sum mer outing, is back again.

Teksis tournaments are thick and close together nowadays and the experts hardly have time to breathe between them. Master S. C. Keep won the championship of the Juniors last Monday, and it was not an easy victory over Master Moorhead, either. Mr. S. B. Moorhead is playing bis old-time great game once more, but be met with a sad accident during the past, week. He lost his mustache. Mr. T. X. Barr has not frequented the Pittsburg Tennis Clnb'a grounds much of late, owing to pro-e or business, but he will take up his racket once more this week. The Pittsburg Tennis Club Juniors play very good games. Their tournament which ended on Monday last was worthy of more attention than it received from the elder generation. TEACHING THE TEACHERS.
