The season of 1892 has certainly been a
very successful one for the Pittsburg Ath-
letic Club, formerly known as the East End
Gymnastic Association. Captain Miller
feels that be has fulille he promise made
to the club early in the season that he would
select an athletic team to represent the club
which would prove to be the strongest be-
tween Detroit and Philadelphia This team
began the season at the A. A. A. open
meeting, July ., where it finished close
second in number of points to the strong
Detroit Athletic Club team. On July. 4 at
Schenley Park the P. A. c. team captured
almost everything in sight At Cleve-
land on August 13 the team was again
successful, once more finishing sec
ond to Detroit in points and beating
the teams from tine Cleveland Athletic
Club, Cincinnati A. and G. Club, Allegheny
Athletic Association and other strong club
teams. At the open meeting of the P. A.
C. the team capped the climax by scoring
over half the points of the meet, the Ath-
letic Club of the Schuylkill Navy of Phila-
delphia being second
The team consists of kimmel and Batche-
elor for the sprint races. either one of whom
is good for 1oI seconds for the 100-yarjs
dash and, having the.best of staying powers.

BILE in this part of the State. The jumps
