Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-16

Der @. 1892 Wellsville, s minutes and 45]hl
seconds.
The success of the team is due IN great
measure to the advantage it has for training
both winter and summer, the intelligence
of the men and last but not least the fact
that Captsin Miller will not tolerate intem-
perance. 1t is anticipated that 1898 will
see many more laurels added to the P. A.
c. colors, for within the last few weeks
some very promising men have been admit
ted to the club, which has now large
amount of undeveloped talent in its ranks.
In order to increase its membership at this
time the initiation fee has been taken off
for limited period, and it is expected that
several hundred young men will take ad-
vantage of that fact. 1t will very strange
if, during the winter, enough talent be not
developed to represent Pittsburg in prize
and place winning in the meets of the At
lantic division and the national events.
Outside of football, the hill climbing con-
test OF the keystone Club is attracting the
most attention at present. It was intended
to have held it yesterday. but it was finally
concluded that next Saturday would be the
better date and in consequence on that day
it is expected that several thousand people
will witness the attempts of the 80 or 80
riders to climb to the top of Roup street
hill. This hill is formidable. According
to the City Surveyor it is $50 feet long and
it rises 143 feet in that distance, or graie
of one in six and one-fourth. 1t has no
easy spots where the rider can gain speed
and breath, and until lately it has never
been climbed by wheelman on a safety.
Within a week or so some of the local
riders have gone to the top and several may
make it on Saturday afternoon, in which
case the medal will be awarded to the one
making the best time.
There will be two events, one open to all
of Western Pennsylvania and the other
open only to keystone Club members
Gold medals will be prizes in each instance,
but in the club climb 20 riders must COM
pete, or else the medal will not be pro-
vded. The medal for the open event will
be presented by Mr.. C. w. Hewston, and
for the club BY o. II. Allerton, Jr. The
first climb will start at p. NJ. sharp, and
the club climb Immediately atterward. No.
lever or rachet-geared machines will be
allowed. .....-'. ....
The East End GYMS (Pittsburg A. c.
winter classes will commence tomorrow
evening, and hereafter something will be
going on every evening. Fencing will oc-
cupy Monday evening; Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday evenings will be devoted to
bells, clubs, apparatus and general
gymnastics; Friday evening will be given
over to the boxers, and Saturday evening
there will be exhibition work. The hours
will be from s to $50. The ladies will have
the gymnasium on Tuesday and Friday
afternoons, and later on they will give an
entertainment to admiring friends. Prof.
Kirchner will have mis- hands fuller than
ever from now on.
The footballists are eagerly looking for
ward to two events of more than ordinary
Importance. The first is to be the meeting
of the A. "A. A. and p. A. C. teams on
Friday afternoon next tits hardly neces-
there will be plenty of "play hard orders
on both sides and the ''pigskin" is likely to
be handled pretty roughly On that day
the P. A. C's team will be in its best shape
unless some untoward accident occurs Prof
Kirchner, who is a team in himself and Dr.
Proctor, another full team, will both be in
their old positions. 1t is true that Prof
Kirchner's ankle is vet weak, but he in
tends to cline up' on that day. Then there
will be Captain Aull as quarterback,
s'Buck" Martin as the other halt back,
Grant Dibert, iullback, to say nothing
of Riley, Bert Aull and the others
of the crush line" There is no mistake
about it, the Gym team will be strong on
that day. On the other hand the A. A. A.
team will be "terror" Kountz, Blunt,
Ewing and eight others, all scientific, ac-
tive and eager to win, will line up and if
