AMATEURATHLETES,
Tennis Grounds Finally
Closed Down for the

CYCLERS GETTING BEADY
For the Taper 'Chase to Take Place
on Thanksgiving Day.
FDTUBE FOOTBALL GAMES HERE.

HAS! KEWHEHBEES ADMITTED TO BOTD
Outside of football, the event that is cre
ating the most interest among the amateurs
is the paper chase on bicycles to take place
on Thanksgiving morning, if the -weather
permits. The full particulars concerning
the chase are not yet forthcoming, but the
committee of the Keystone Bicycle Club in
charge expresses a confidence in the success
of the affair. Of late there1 has been a
scarcity of wheelmen who have taken
pleasure in riding in the chilly air, but
most of them say they will be oat on
Thanksgiving Cay
The hares will probably be three In num
ber, and to each of these will be given a
bag of paper, cut into small pieces.
One of the hares will scatter paper
until his bat; gives out, and then another
will make the trail. The course will he
made just long enough to take the hunted
and hunters an hour and a half's brisk
riding, and prires will be given. Just
how they will be awarded has not
yet been determined upon. The chase is to
be confined to the East End, not necessarily
to the streets, for the hares will be permit
ted to cross lots and go over hills if they see
fit. It is expected that anywhere from
100 to 500 wheelmen will join in the chase,
and riders from all over this vicinity will be
invited to take part
Yesterday the tennis season was formally
closed when the Pittsburg Tennis Club
locked cp its grounds. The season was the
rVani Eitchlc, SigU Guard P. A. a
most successful ever witnessed in this part
of the country and the came became more
popular than was anticipated. Before the
season opened last spring there was com
p aratively little interest pre-evidenced in
courts and nets. The spring weather was not
propitious and early playinc was not pos
sible. It then began to look as if this
branch of sport was to be allowed to sink
into a sort ol semi-inactivity. A few lead
ing spirits of the Pittsburg Tennis Club,
however, tooC hold in earnest, the club ac
quired the title to its grounds, and then
came the first open tournament. That there
were hundreds of people who took a great
interest in the game was immediately made
apparent and from that time until yester
day there has been a gradual increase in in
terest in the sport
The Pittsburg Tennis Club gave several
tournaments, including ladies' open events
and a handicap club aflair and each in suc
cession was ruore successful than the others,
fiut-cne tourney Jell throush and that was
intended to be a big open nJeet, where play
ers of skill from the East and "West were
to take part The idea was conceived too
late in the season, and at the last moment

Pittsburg Tennis Club, other tennis organ
izations gave tourneys, new organizations
were formed, fooking toward the
giving of tourneys next year and
the tennis season went ont with anassurance
that the greatest interest and activity will
be taken from the very start next season.
The membership of the Pittsburg Tennis
Club has been greatly increased during the
present season, many new players of
promise have been brought out and the
game has been put on a looting hardly ex
pected, and it is not saying too much to
give the majority of the credit to the Pitts
burg Tenuis Club and its active and pro
gressive officers and committees.
This week the pictures of Frank Ritchie
and James Lalus, the guards of the P. A.
C. football team are given in this depart
ment Both of these gentlemen are stand
byes of the P. A. C team and they play
the game for all there is in it Mr. Bitchie
was on the Lehigh team in the class of '90.
His brother is now on the Lehigh team and
will p lav here on Thanksgiving Day. Mr.
Bitchie is one of the strongest men on tne
rush line. He weighs 180 pounds and is a
civil engineer by profession. The opponent
who gets past him must be an extraordinary
man, lor Bitchie can hold them down as
well as anybody.
Mr. Lalus is playing a great game, con
sidering that he is in his first year at the
game. He has learned all he knows of the
sport with the P. A. C team and, as he" is
a natural football player.be has become one
of the most valuable men oa the team.
The Board of Control of the P. A. C
met last Monday evenlrg and transacted a
considerable amount of important business.
Plans for winter entertainments were.dis
cussed, but no decided action taken, though
it was practically decided that there will be
wrestling and boxing matches' given In con
nection with other athletic exhibitions
when the closed season commences. It was
also decided to send J. P. Kimmel to Phila
delphia to represent the club at the
wrestling tourney of the Philadelphia
Swimming Club on the 28th mst in the 110
pound weight class. The board also elected
128 new members as follows:

The A. A. A. plans for a winter evening
athletic entertainment are progressing sat
isfactorily, and there is every indication
that the first meet will be. most successful.
There are in the AAA camp a number
of the crack amateurs of "Western Pennsyl
vania and most of these will be in the con.
tests. They have been keeping up their
training an'd intend to be in the held early
next spring ready to carry ofi honors for
the colors they wear. It is hinted that
among the newly admitted members are a
number who will surprise the timers next
season, and some of those who made trials
in the recent club championships have come
forward to an astonishing degree since get
ting down to training. The prospects of
the A A A for next season are therefore
very promising at the present time with
everv cnance in lavor oi ms association
carrying off its share of the honors in all the
meets.
The next great game of football here will
be on Thanksgiving Day, when Lehigh will
trv conclusions with the P. A C. eleven.
There has never been much hope that the
P. A. C. would win, but it is confidently
expected that the score will be kept down,
especially as Lehigh has been making such
a poor snowing this year in the East Ac
cording to all accounts Lehigh has three
ranies on successive days and its match
with the P. A. C will come first The dav I
after Thanksgiving it is said the team will
meet Washington and Jefferson College and
on Saturday it goes up against the" Stat
College team. It hardlv seems possible
that Lehigh will attempt these three games,
especially with the team In such poor shape
as at present The State College team
could probably defeat Lehigh to-day. and as
it comes third in the list it will have an
easy victory.
Manager Barbour, of the P. A O., is try
ing to arrange a game for Saturday with the
Columbia A 0. team at Washington, D. a
Manager Kountz, of the A A. A, will
probablv have a game on with Washington
and Jefferson College Saturday, to be
played at A A A Park, so that there will
be an opportunity to witness a game at
home. Then there are a number of games
on the schedule between the lightweight
teams, and there will be plenty of amuse
ment to fill in the time before Thanksgiv

GROWING
OUR $10 SAIE OF MEN'S SUITS
Was a grand success. Several hundred gentlemen availed themselves of
the opportunity to get a new suit at from $2 to $& below the regular
price.
What are left of them are still on the special bargain tables in the
suit department. Come and see them; perhaps the very size and style of
suit you want is among them. If it is, you're so much money in pocket.
OUR TRADE IN OVERCOATS
Is something remarkable. One continual stream of
men going up the elevator or climbing the stairs that
lead to low prices and real values and coming down
with a self-satisfied "I-knew-Fd-find-it" smile.
The procession will increase in numbers this week,
