September 23.
The foot ball season of 1899 prom
ises to be the best in the history OF
the Akron association.
Manager H. II. Camp has written
to the best teams in the country. He
will soon announce the schedule.
1t is probable that the first game
will be played October I, although a
practice game with the North End
Athletic club may be arranged for
September 80.
Manager Camp has written for
dates with the following teams
Chicago Athletic club, Detroit Ath-
letic club. Youngstown Athletic club,
Ohio State university, Case school,
Kenyon college, Ohio Wesleyan uni
versity, Baldwin-Wallace college,
Wittenberg college, Lend-a-Hand
team and West Minister college. The
time and team for the opening game
has not been arranged. A favorable
answer from the Youngstown team
for the first game is expected. 1t
will be played on Oct. I.
Another meeting of the members
of the team will be held some time
next week to make final arrange
ments for good hard practice. The
line up will then be announced.
Several new candidates for this year
have been secured. They are old
players. Newspaper men and the
immediate members of the team will
be the only parties admitted on COM
plimentary tickets.
Bicycle Parade.
The bicycle parade to be given
this evening, under the auspices of
the Tip Top Cycle club, as an adver-
tisement for the races to be held at
Fountain Park Saturday afternoon,
will be big affair.
1t is said that not less than 800
cyclists will participate in the par
ade, and, as prizes are to be given
for the best decorated wheels, it is
quite likely that the procession will
be conspicuous for its unique and
BRILLIANT appearance.
For the first best decorated wheel
either lady's or gentleman's pair
50 cuff buttons will be presented to
the rider: second best a pair of $l.5O
silk suspenders will be given. Should
this prize be won by lady there is
no doubt but that more suitable
prize will be substituted, although
no such stipulation is made in the
prize list. To the person who pre-
sents the most clownish appearance,
Or who arranges the funniest make
up, a cake, valued at So, will be given.
The procession will start from Per-
kins park att pm, headed by the
automobile cycle of the Akron Ma
chine company, and the following
rcute will be travelled:
Out Wooster av. to the water
works, returning on the same street
to Exchange; east on Exchange to
Main; south oil Main to South, re-
turning on Main and continuing
north to Tallmadge; west on Tall
madge to Howard; south on Howard
to Main, and continuing on Main to
Exchange; east on Exchange to Car
roll; east on Carroll to Sumner;
north on Sumner to Buchtel av.;
east on Buchtel to Market; east on
Market to Carroll; west on Carroll
to Exchange, and continuing to the
Tip Top Cycle club house.
The Races.
There are now about 40 entries in
the races, and some fast riders will
be here. All events against time
records will be paced by tripler, a
regular pacing machine. Perhaps
the most prominent feature of the
races will be the tandem pursuit, in
which Shipman and Dech will ride
against Bankin and Wiese.
First Game.
The Akron High school team will
play its first game with the Lorain
High school in this city on Satur-
day, Sept. %.
cIeyeIand's Record.
Never i'll the history of the great
national game has Cleveland made
record that it did yesterday, when
the century mark of defeats was
reached, says the Plain Dealer.
This is certainly disgrace to the
game in this city, but the fault all
lies with just two people. Frank
and Stanley Robson. These two
men, who are supposed to be work.
ing for the interest of the great game
seem to have accomplished just the
other thing. Now that the Cleve-
land club has lost 100 games, they
still have an opportunity TO beat out
