FOOTBALL NOW EEIGNS. riajers Promise Activity That Das Kever Been Surpassed. BEAD! FOE THE WHEEL EOAD RACE An Improvtd and Taster Course Taken ly the Eejstone Club, KOTES GATHERED I. MAST FIELDS Football is in and tennis is out, so far as tournaments are concerned. The past week witnessed the close of the season in the tennis world, though for two months yet the courts in the city -will be kept busy. The best time of the year for the players is at hand and it seems strange that the tourna ments should end just as the weather be comes colJ enough to permit of more ener getic playing. But the public conld not give its attention to both tennis and foot ball, and the reign of the latter has com menced. Considered from the standpoint of a ten nis enthusiast, this season has been most successful. At the outset it was considered improbable that the year would witness any great amount of fervor among the players for the game, but the period of inactivity was of short duration. The Pittsburg Ten- Si Wis Jtsj Laura Folter, of WiLklntlnrg. me Club acquired the title to its grounds and then came the reaction i This was the opening wedsre and in ac-aratively short sjiace ot time there was vrjcli an awakening a has n;ver been witnessed in this vicinity. The Pittsburgh Te.,nis Club gave its open -KB3ment afcythich Mr. Ew ina won the phamnions'iiln nf Western Pennsylvania and unce then there has scarcely been a "week that has not witnessed one or more tourna ments. Minor clubs were formed on every aide, the number of private courts increased by 100 per cent, the ath letic associations formed tennis divisions srd have given tourneys and to "cap the climax" the season has ended most fittingly Wjth an open ladies tournament. Tnere was a timidity on the part ot the ladies over eirerin; for the tournament and this re sjlted in keeping many out that should i ave been in. Xeit season thev will be c ten an opportunity to contest for suprem B.rv much earlier and it is expected that a njueh better showing will he made. One result of the enthusiasm in the tennis f eld is the formation of several organiza- i us which promise to become large and in-fi-cniial next year. They intend to have I reentatives in all the open tournaments d to hold open tourneys of their own. 1 he list of tennis organizations or those that tare a tennis attachment in this v -n iv is a follows: PittBhurg Tennis h, Oakland Terrace Tennis Club, the ' i-i End Gyms, the Allegheny Athletic s ciation, tne Sewickley Athletic Asso- a- ..n the Wilkmsburg Athletic Associa iif, ihe Latrobe Tennis Club, the Cora- n Tennis Club, the Kiskiminetas Ten nis Ciub and a host of others in the sur r -rd:n; towns. T le cycling world hereabouts is in a state c s r-presstd excitement over the Keystone r a . race that will take place next Satur a From the present outlook it appears 1 tie number of entries will be not less t aii 5, and may probably run up in ia'ct, it is hard "t.a a wheelman ot prominence h --eah uts who does not intend to v the prizes so generously donated by - e dealers of the city. Many entries tside the city are exnected. It is i ( robable either that an entry from the . s n.- .! the State would be rejected, so it i r- is ,ie that some of the .Ohio cyclers w compete. In anv event, it will be the h .rest event in the history of cycling in J s vicinity. T course has been changed somewhat f ' tne club race, and there are so many Ti-r s that it is advisable for all who intend t ride to take a trip over it in advance in ier 'hat thev may not go astray.. It ml start at Hayesville, continue, in a ''g!i line to the second street inside of s L ley's hinits; then it will turn to the I? r io squares and again turn to the r.i runoinc parallel to the main thor o ii are of bewickley to the. end of the v o, where the main rond will asain be ' ket. to sand Hill. Thence the course will r . siraitrht through the trees on a splendid ad. finally turning up along the big "wii"l1e creek and crossing the main iron l.re to an oak tree 7J miles Irom the - -' I hapnenn that at "the present time si ' er is being laid in Sewickley and this i 'cessitates the turn out of the main ' -routrhtare. but the course IB now devoid sand, and is considered at least five mln 'es taster thau that over which the club rcc was run. N xt Saturday the sprinters and runners i " i - AV' will have a day all to them ffives and it will be an event of more than 0 . ary interest. The club championship thn be determined in the 50, 75, 100, ' 4 i SbO-yard dashes, the half-mile and ile runs. Lately there have been.lrom i to 23 of the club runners training -.cunusly on the "3 A's" Park track and . v i. tends to mate a record for himself i xi frG'umny and an attempt to capture i c'ut medal. Among those who v compote in tlio runs nro Messis. ija hun Paul, Haley. Lyons, Bntterfleld, 1 i ii. - owart, Kiamer. McConnell, Coombs, Ila Sirt tintnok, JlcKlveen, Wade and JIo tl jo., nil or nhom aio fast men. It would i - b . iiu. if some of the amateur -tr. hoc equaled on this occasion, as It u t (, , ,t Uipm in tlie best of form. 1 ii i mine that Mr. JIcKcnnan Is Hwat i Himsbuicand will not be able to be t! -e competition. The ".Tuce AV will soon be comfortably housed. Two bull dines are now under con ' slderatlon for headquarters ror the winter. One Is on 1'onn nvnuo and the other on ! Duqueane way. Whichever is taken will bo nttea wun all tne accessories of un athletic club of high standing, and It will nerve to keep the members more closely together than If they had no common place of meet ing. The consequenco will be that the spring of 1833 will see the association in the best shape, and It will not be necessary to make the members acquainted with each other, as has been the case in other springs. The Allegheny Cyclers to the number of S3 had a theater party on Thursday even ing. It was the first of the season, and some or the boys hope it won't be the last, for after the theater there 'was a regular jollifi cation and it was rather late when tbey separated. Among those in the party were Messrs. C. IL Petticord, B. E. Arons, Loo Miller, E. P. Bache, Frank Ahlers, W. H. Wilson. Charles Friezell, James Barr, David Johnson, William Weisser, B, Whltesides, Ed Stephenson, Ed McCracken, W. H. Addy, James Feltwell, George McN'Uh, J. W. Brisrgs, E. L. Barry, Mr. Corwin, Harry JJercer, Harry McCracken, Samuel Eccles, Howard Hays, John Taylor, J, IL Hayes and W. H. Baltzell, Miss Laura Potter, whose picture accom panies, has recently demonstrated the fact that she is one of the best, if not the bast, lady tennis player in this vicinity either in singles or doubles, and yet she is but a recent acquisition to the ranks. It is only within a few weeks that she has made any attempt to play in singles, her efforts on prior occasions being in doubles, In which she played a very strong game, and almost the only oractlce she lias bad has been on a private court at Wilkinsbttrg, luit home. Her arst entrance in a tourney was at that given by the Est End Gymn, when she and Mr. McClaran won the first prizes in the doubles. She was alo entered in the ladles' singles at this tournament, but as she was notam-niberof the club the ladies of the Gym objected to Jier playing ana she-naP pi evented from displaying her ability In the singles on that occasion Honevi-r. the open tourna'nent or xhe Pittsburg Club fol lowed shortly after, and in the singles in this she won her way Into the finals without difficulty. Inside of two weeks half a dozen or more football teams will be straggling for su premacy, and the season which will last until after Thanksgiving, will be in full swing. The East End Gyms are making a great effort to aeoure a team that will carry defeat to all its opponents and to make cer tain that its members shall be In the best of form electric lights have been placed tn the Gym Park for practicing alter dark. In the meantime Manager Barbour has been ar ranging a sohedule that will be perfected shortly. , The Three A's team will commence prac ticlng tc-monow afternoon, and it begins to look as It it will be one of the strongest in the vicinity. It is the Intention of the Three A's to arranse for a neries of games outside ot the city with Cleveland, Dayton, Wash Ington, D. a, and elsewbeie. Included In the team will be several college players who made for themselves reputations In the po sitions they will oooupy. - The Wiikinsburg Athletic Association will hold a meeting on Thursday evening to arrange for its team, and it is expected that a strong organization will De perfected on that occasion. Tbose who desire to be on the team should report at that time.

The East End Gyms will bo represented by Messrs. Moore, Gibson and A. L. Banker in the Keystone road race. Ono of the promising riders of next season is K.

The committee thnt has been so success ful in arranging the open road race is oom Sosed of Messrs. J. W. McGowin, T. P. lyler and A. B. Donash. L. D. McsOER, of Chicago, was in poor form last week and Peter Beilo, the Manhat tan A. C racer, has not yet fully recovered from his recent tall at Columbus. The action of some of the racing men in the Springfield races In pooketlng fast rid ers resulted In their being warned thafa repetition would result in their being sus pended. Last Thursday evening Mr. J. W. Mc Gowin and Mr. A. R. Donagh rode over the course ot the road race after dark. They think It Is faster than tho other course covered In the club road race.

Miss Voict, who on the ladles' singles at I the East End Gym tournament, left for flew York on Monday. P. H. Barr Is one of the players who will be heard from next year. It was quite a disappointment that Miss. Potter and Mr, McClaran were notable to play in the mixed doubles last week. The East End Gyms should have entered Miss GUI and Miss Fabnestook in the Pitts burg Tennis Club tournament last week. Miss MoKehsah has the making of a very fine player, and she will climb hlgnorln the rounds next year than she did in the last tourney. CoitAoroLis tennis players still find the .courts tho principal attraction. They are always full, and since the tourney It is hard to find one-vacant. Harry McClaran, when he master! the art of steadiness, will be In the front rank. He has the make of one of the best players In the vicinity in him. Next season Miss Chambers .and Miss Ewing, of the Pittsburg Tennis Club, will be in the front rank of the lady players If their play improves us it has this year. Martix CoTZR has gotten back into his oldfoimaud has laid in an extra stock of nerve. In the next tournament he won't' fall out so early as he did in the last. Tne end of the consolation doubles of the annual tournament or tne Pittsburg Club was reached only last Monday, when Messrs. Ewing and Vaill won a close flve-set match lroin Coster and Ilarr. S W. B. Moorhead played an aggressive game in the mixed doubles last week and he was successful as usual. The more aggres sive he becomes the less clmnco his op ponent has of winning. Tom Ewiso, tho hoi lee of the Westorn Pennsylvania championship, will be on tne Three A's tootb.ill team this year. He is now an attorney, having successfully p:i-sed the examination forudini33on to the liar. There nte a. number of jnniois sotuetlmos .seen on the rittibiirg Tennis Club courts whobidralrto astonish some of the older players before long. Some of them play splendid games now and a few years hence they will make formidable opponents. Some or the boys are of the opinion that mixed doubles are rather slow. The trouble Is that they expect too little of the ladles and attempt too much themselves. Whan they treat the ladles as they do a player of their own sex they will find the game a trifle faster.
