A. a Wheelmen 1'aking tbe Last Clnb Runs for tlis Tresent Season. y rATIILETES TEEDICT 1 LITELT WINTER Tne amount of interest taten in football this leason in local circles is amazing. Ibis game seems to have become to the sport- lovinc public more fascinating than base- ball ever nas in its most palmy days. It has taken bold of the people to such an ex tent that wind or weather has no influence on them. If a game is played within reach they flock to it regardless of inconvenience or discomfort and apparently indifferent whether the teams are strong or weak. There was no game in this vicinity yester day, and as a consequence thousands were disappointed. Tfaey had been looking for ward to the game scheduled for the after noon at least ior seven davs. It was not to have been so important or so exciting an event as that between the A. A. A.s sud the V. A. G's, but it was to be a fairly good game, and that was considered enough to fill in the interval between the last big game aud the next, which will take place next Saturday, when the State College team lines up airainst the P. A. C's. Tuere was not ei en a game between lightweights, aud thousands sent up a wail of regret. But belore the sleigh bells come jingling alone there will be plenty of opportunity to witness excitm; scrimmages. Following the game with the State College next Saturday comes the return match between the P. A. C's and the A. A. A.'s, at the latter's grounds, formerly Kecreation Park. The tact that the first "game between these two eleveus resulted in a tie, added to the desire en the part of both to win, lends an unusual interest to the game, and not a small amount of znonev wiil be up ou both sides. Bach association will put its best men into the affray, the lines will be strengthened where tfiev are the weakest, and it will be a battle royal from the "kick off." By that time the A. A. A.'s will have had - sore practice together, though not so much as the P. A. Cs, and there are those who prophesy a victory for the former eleven. On the other hand, the P. A. C's are get ting a good ready, and will go into the fight even more confident of winning than before. It is more than likely that the A. A. A.'s will line up as they did in the first game, and the probabilities are that there will not be much change in the P. A. C's. Over a hundred new members will be elected to full membership at the Pittsburg Athletic Club at its next meeting on the first Monday in November. Those whose tames have alrealy been passed upon favorably by the committee ase as follows: George F. Heppenstall, "Will Power, H. T. Hobson, Ezra B. Booth, . L McKee, A. 1$. Coleman, F. G.

The Membership Commit tee has before it some 30 additional names to be passed upon before the meetin". The A. A. A.'s membership will also be Increased largely at its next meeting. A large list of applicants has been placed in the hands of the committee of membership end will be acted upon shortly. The A. A. A. has in anticipation a strong list of winter attractions. Secretary Page and the com mittee are busy arranging for the indoor meet, which promises to eclipse everything of its kind ever held in this city. " Then there is a surprise in store for the A. A. A.'s friends, the full particulars of which will be made public later. In addition to this a billiard tournament is talked of when the winter quarters are secured, and there will be something on hand continually to keep the members moving. The associa tion will be in fine shape when the spring opens up. Its athletes will be kept in good trim and will make a better showing than ever at the spring championship. The three "backs" of the P. A. C's foot ball eleven, Dr. George S. Proctor, George W. Martin and Grant Dibert are a whole team in themselves. They have been with the eleven for three seasons, and they have had as much to do with the victorious rec ord of the organization as any of the men in the rush line. Last year Dr. Proctor was taptain of the team, and he carried its bm. her to the top, never losing a game and suf fering opponents to score but twice. As halfback he plays a remarkably strong game and when he puts the "pigskin" under his arm ana sails into the enemy's territory he has to be a good man aud a fast runner who will stop him. Mr. Martin is a tootball player from the "ground up." When the ball'is kicked off he loses his other personality and for the time being is intent only on getting the sphere in for a touchdown. He is not atraid of the strongest opposing rush line, tUd "bucks" through the men as if it were mere child's play. Then, when he gets through safely, he never misses making a great gain belore held down by the op I onenta. It is cenerally noticeable that it takes more than one or two men to bring Imn down and hold him there. Grant Dibert is a great fullback and has to his credit many a lone gain, won by his fleet ness of foot and skill in dodging pursuers. Then his punts are "out of sight" and among other things that go tnwrH iiaking him one of the most value , . on the team is his clearheadness at critical points. He has a faculty for getting hold of the ball and tnilinr with it fust where lift nan make the moU gain, and so far his judg ment has myer been at fault. "Buck" Martin, as he is familiarly known, plaved a year in the Pennsylvania State College team. Grant Dibert plated two years In the Swarthmore eleven and" later with the Johnstowns, and Dr. Proctor is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He played a short time in the team of that in stitution. The Wilkinsbnrg Athletic Association has come to tfc front this season and great things are urSmised for next year. It has as good grounds as there are in the vicinity. iHw Matiern Xewbern White Stein The fame will commence at 3:30, and extrajcars will be ran on the Larimer are. nue ine to accommodate the expected rash- The following ii a table of averagei of the players of the County League for the past season, based on five games or more: ruTXKS' Kame and Club. Dr. George S. Proctor, Rigid Half Bade, P. A. C. well fitted with accommodations for audi ence and athletes: It has a rnuning track one-filth of a mile, cricket grounds baseball diamond, tennis courts and a quoit ground. It held a very successful tournament this fall; its baseball team finished well in the County Leaeue race, and it has two football teams, one in the Associa tion League and the other in the Rugby field. Next year a commodious house for the lady members will be erected, and the association will continue in its up ward line of prosperity and popularity. Next Saturday's football game at P. A. C Park will be exciting. The State College team is said to be very strong this year, and additional interest is given the game from the fact that so many of the P. A. C plavers were once members of the State College team, and Captain Aull was captain of it last year. The team will line up as follows: State College. rosition. P. J.

Rctledoe has returned to the city after quite an ex tended Western and Southern trip. AnroTAXT Paoxakd, of the Fifteenth Begt ment, and Adjutant Shad Hayes, of the Tenth Begiment, were visitors In the city during the week. ' CoLomx Willis J.Huiiito's.or the Sixteenth Begiment, spent the past week In the city. The Colonel says the Sixteenth men wars well pleased with their tour at .Homestead and aie perfectly willing to coma back again if necessary. ' Assistant Straoroir Wiluax Bobesoxt, of the Eighteenth Begiment, met his fate like a soldier last Tuesday evening in Calvary buuiun, nuu urn urufcuer ouiosni iuu inuuus are wishing him all the possible Joys that urc icu lite urings. Tee meeting nights or the Eighteenth Begiment headquarters have been changed from Saturday to the first Monday nlgbt In each month. Three of the oompanles of the regiment meet on Monday nfgbt and as a consequence It is much easier to obtain a quorum of officers. The next week will probably determine whether Battery B and the Eighteenth Begiment are to have the Fifth avenue market building for an armory or not. The prospects are not as bright as they might be for the soldiers, as the building has been recommended lor High School purposes. The local event during the past week In military circles was the trial of the lams case. The courtroom during the proceed ings was the center of attraction ror soldiers of all rank, and quite a number of visiting officeis ftom neighboring towns made It con venient to drop into Pittsburg to see Colonel Hawkins on the rack The Colonel is a big favorite with all the officers of the Second Bilgade. Should tho lams case, which Is at present on trial, tesult in a conviction of the de fendants, it means practically a suspension of all punishments hereafter in the National Guard 01 this State. The result of such a state of affairs would be to interfere very much witu the usefulness of the Guard and place it on a veiy poor basis for active duty either in times of trouble or in camp. No punishment, however slight, could be meted out to an offender without the possi bility of a lawsuit following, and as a resnlt discipline would be at an end. The resignation of Inspector of Rifle Prac tice Brown from the'stafl of the Fourteenth I Regiment -leaves vacancy that Colonel Perohment will find bard to filL Lieutenant Brown was the senior inspector In the State and a' general favorite among the boys who shoot. Although to a very great extent bis work and efforts were accountable for the progress the Fourteenth made In shooting, and while it was through him the present excellent zange at 8altworks was obtained, a certain amount of unpleasantness in the regiment compelled his resignation. Colonel Perohment has not yet named bis successor. The members of the Washington Infantry re going to show their friends how nicely tbe armory rooms have been fixed np lately and as a consequence bave Issued invlt tlons for a "house warming" next Friday evening. The marksmen's badges will be presented that evening and an exhibition drill will be given. A very pleasant pro. gramme has been Drenared and an anlova. ble evening la expected. Tbe remarks- J Diynne appearance tne "wasniea" made on Columbus Day has added very muoh to their popularity and they can now be ranked among the crack organizations of the country. Tbe season of. riflo practice In the National Guard eloses to-morrow. Throughout the State It is expeoted that a big Increase In the total nuntber of marksmen will be shown over last year, although it Is prob able with the exception ot Battery B, tbe local organizations will show a slight de crease. Battery B has bean working hard during tbe season and now has a total of over 40 with the prospects of some new names being added to the list to-morrow. The companies in the Fourteenth and Aiignteentn itegiments nave done fairly well, although the total of the latter regi ment will be pulled down considerably by the loss of Company I, whloh was one of the strongest oompanles In the regiment on marksmanship. Since the advent of Colonel Osthaus at tbe head or the ordnance depart ment in the guatd the qualifications hare become stronger each year, and it is appar ent that the Colonel would like to bring the entire guard np to the standard acquired by bis old regiment the Thirteenth in whioh every man has qualified for a number of years. .
