step and jump. At the last ,o monthly meet
the broad jump, which is the best ever made
in Western Pennsylvania by either visiting
or local men. At the annual meeting of the
E. E. G. C. last year he was elected to the
Captaincy of that organization, and when
the new constitution was adopted this year,
giving more power to the Captain, he was
selected his team and claims it to be the

Captain Miller is a Gym man through and
through and always has the thought upper
most that his own success means success to
the East End Gyms.
@. w. Heppenstall, 10 years old, began rid
ing a bicycle in 1890, and in the latter part of
the season he entered and won his first race
on July "a, 1891, at the clubs members
sports. In the following month he won the
l and 2-mile events. In the clubs open
meeting, September 2e. he again won the and
2-mile bicycle races, with 20 and 40 seconds
handlcaps on A. Banker, who was scratch.

In the State intercollegiate meeting he was
second in the 2-mile event. At the Three
a.
machine with a 5+inch gear, he had no
trouble in coming in second to Rands, De-
troit's crack rider. Mr.. Heppenstall has
made some decided improvement in his
speed, now that he has a track racer at his
disposal, and, with gear to suit him, will
make some of the local men open their eyes
at his Improvement.
C. A. Jarrett, 20years of age first contested
in athletic sports at the first members
monthly meeting of the Gyms, June 27,
1891, and showed he had the making of a
VI l. IL
third in both the 100 and go yards races and
also in the hammer throw, and first in put
ting the 16pound shot. In the following
meeting he showed marked Improvement,
and won the putting of the shot with 80 feet
81 inches, and was third in the hammer and
hop, step and jump events. Jarrett never
seemed to train regularly and was induced to
try good, systematic training this year, and
the result has proven his ability to become
one of the best general athletes in Pennsyl-
wanna. His records now stand as follows:
Broad jump, 20 feet inches; hop, step and
jump, Il feet 10 inches; putting the 1spound
shot, 3S feet inch; throwing the l6pound
hammer, 20 feet; quarter-mile run from Is
yard mark in 80 l5 seconds; 100 yards in
10 4-5 seconds; 220 yards in 25 seconds. He is
also a good alI-around ball player.
Addison Boren, 25 years of age, has con-
tested in local athletics off and on some few
years back. Owing to his not having place
to train he was unable to get himself in con-
dition to do justice to himself, but since his
admission as q member OF the Gyms he has
trained faithfully ana his Improvement has
been noticeable. At the Gyms first men,
bers' monthly meeting he won second in the
hammer throw with 81 feet, third in the hop,
step and jump. second in the high jump with
8 ieet " inches. In the following meetings
he showed the benefit Of his training by win
ming the hammer throw and running sec.
ond to Guy in the L-mie run. His
records are: In hop, step and jump, 40 feet;
high jump, 5 feet 3inches; broad jump, l9feet
inches; putting the shot, 70 ieet 101S inches.
Boren, like Miller. Jarrett and Bachelor,
does not confine himself to any speciality,
hence his records while good do not show
the undivided attention of the specialist.
Arthur Banker, 81 years of age, a new
member of the Gyms, is of the well-known
family OF riders. and would no doubt have
made his mark on the path before this but
for his close attention to business He will,
however, commence training carefully, and
will be heard from later He has won all
the scratch events In which he has entered,
and has made time which showed he had
the material of q racer in him.
Z. ID. Bachelor, 20 years old also began
his athletic work with his entry in the first
members monthly sports of the Gyms and
gave only little attention to his prepara-
tfon for the contests. His showing, how
ever, induced him to continue his work, and
this year he has trained conscientiously and
the result has been very gratifying. He
commenced in the runs for the first time
this year. However, he has taken up the
broad jump and the hop. step and jump and
will with moro experience be with the lead
ers. His record for the loo yards dash is ii
seconds, and In the 800 he has record Of %
