So many thing are responsible for the success of the V. 1'. football team this season that it would be Impossible to enumerate them all. It was not ihe lirst time that an effort had been made to put a winn.Ttg team in the held, but rio one seems to have gone about it in the right way before. It was after the State game last year, when we had been defeated 5'J to 0, that several of the alumni, notablv Mr.

Sam Hunter. Dr. Wallgren and Mr. J. R-Park, secretary of the board of trustees, got together, and that it wm a shame that suoli a score could be made against (he Western University.

They then called a preliminary meeting ol some of the alumni to see what could be done, and it was decided to send out notices to all the alumni who might bo interested and Isold a meeting. This was done. About notices were sent and ISO men responded. This was not very tn.coura.ging., Still it was a but half of those present were against the movement, as they thought it would end like all previous ones had ended. However, Dr.

Ingram was elected president of the Alumni Football Association and a body organized with the purpose of encouraging football at the Western University. Mr. Park was secretary, and iui executive committee was appointed, consisting of R. W. Wallace.

A. li. Wallgren. Sam Hunter. Prof.

Fetterman, 11. W. Hor-kensmith. H. L.

Fullerton, J. R. Park. Guy D. Wallace and myself ex-ofticio members.

These were the men who. by their untiring efforts during the winter and spring, made it possible to have a football team at V. It was decided that the university could never have a good team unless a training house was provided for the players. And this, I think, was one of the principal reasons of success. A guarantee fund was raised by the Alumni committee, and then several of us went round to the Various departments and at mass meetings told the students what we had done, and asked for their co-operation, and I remember guaranteeing the students a good team.

We met with a tine reception at all the departments but one. The students beeame enthusiastic, especially at the medical college and departments, and it began in April to look like success. There were still a great many skeptics among the alumni, some of them said the only to have a team here was to go out and hire one, but it was agreed by ihe committee that no such thing as thi should be done; Pittsburg had had enough of professional football "What was wanted was a good college team composed of bona tide students, who were playing solely because they loved the game, and I am glad to be able to say that every man who made the team this year is now. after the season is over, unending school regularly and is up in la studies. It was hard to arrange a schedule, a job which the committee turned over a me without much The athletic relations of the university with kindred institutions were, to say the least, strained.

There was nothing in the past but unpaid guarantees and tan-cellcd contracts, and I did not succeed in getting as good a schedule as we wanted, but I did get all the games it was possible to get. In fai there was no choice, and I must have written to over 100 teams to get the nine games we had on the schedule. Rut we have paid all our old guarantees and notes now. And next season we will certainly have a better schedule, in fact. I hope to arrange the best college schedule that Pittsburg has ever hand.

Already one game has been scheduled. No trip will be made East. We hav nothing to gain by going to Yale Princeton and getting a lot of men bruised up for our expenses. Right here at home we have a line lield to play on. thanks to the courtesy of Mr.

Drey-fuss, and we have the people of Pittsburg now ready to back us as a Pittsburg institution. We will try to get either one of the big Kastem teams to come here, or one of the teams from the Middle West which has made itself famous in football all over the country. "We will play State College again on Thanksgiving, and will play anv of the other representative teams of Pennsylvania with which games can be arranged.

HOCKEY MAHER MADE FINE RECORD American Jockey Won More Than $400,000 for Employer IS GLAD TO GET BACK HOME. HAS BEEN RE-EXGAGED TO RIDE IN ENGLAND NEXT YEAR. FOUR WINNERS IN THREE DAYS New York, December 3. Danny Maher, the American jockey, who has been riding on the English race tracks during the past season, arrived home yesterday Maher was booked for passage on the Kaiser Wilhelm. which arrived Tuesday, but he changed his plans at the last minute and disappointed many frienas who were at the pier to greet him The little jockey looked the picture or health as he walked down the gang piank cf the big steamer.

He has had the most successful season of his career on the English tracks this year. He rode in 45tl races and finished in front 110 timea These victories placed him third on the list of winning jockeys for the season Otto Madden, the champion English jockey, leading the riders with It JO wins out of more than 700 mounts. Jimmy Lane, another English rider, finished second, having about ten more winning mounts than Maher. When the steamer hove in sight Maher was quickly recognized by the largo crowd of sporting men who were on the pier to greet him. He was well wrapped up in a big fu: -lined overcoat presented to him by one of the English horse owners last year.

He was the center of attraction as he walked down the big gangplank, and it was some time before ha finished shaking hands with the sports and his many friends on the pier. When asked to talk about himself and his success abroad, Maher said: "In the first place I am glad to get back home again. While I had a most enjoyable time during the nine months I was on the other sido I have longed to return again and see my father, mother and sisters. 1 had the most successful season that I have experienced since my first year of riding on the English tracks. "One thing I feel proud of is the fact Illicit, 1 1 the stages in England.

These stakes were the Princess of Wales. Eclipse and Jockey Clun. -1 rode Rockland to victory in the Princess of Wales and the Jockey Club, and piloted Dar-leydale In the Eclipse. On three days in one week I rode four winners daily, which sent my -winning percentage away I up." "Do you care about stating how much money you made riding horses on the other side?" asked the reporter. "No, I would sooner not announce the amount.

You can say, however. -that -I I made more this year than I did in the Otner two seasons tnai i nave wen abroad, replied the little jockey with a smile. "How were you treated by the English sporting men?" "Splendidly. I have no fault" to find with anyone. Even the jockeys over there treated me as well as I was one of their own.

On that account I intend to ride again in England next year. I have been re-engaged by Sir James Miller. He will have first call on my services." "I low much money did you win for your employers this season?" he was next asked. "While I cannot say just the exact amount right now, I should judge at a rough guess that It was close to 4OO.O00. These three big stakes alone amounted $130,000, and with 113 more wlnnin City, the Westerners will not have things so much their own way.

Some interesting figures of the winnings on foreign tracks have come to hand. The leading owner on the French turf this year was M. Edmond Blanc and he annexed stakes and purses to the extent of Sir James Miller, for whom Danny Maher rides, heads the list of winning owners in Great Britain with about to his credit. Flying Fox, the stallion for which M. Blanc paid 187,000 is largely responsible for his enormous winnings, the sons and daughters of this great sire having proved exceptionally fine racers.

With the close of the racing season abroad there has been an influx of American jockeys who have been teaching the effete Europeans how to ride. A batch of four came over on the American liner Philadelphia this week. They were Jay Ransch, first jockey for William K. Vanderbilt in France: Harry Birken-rutb, who rode for Edmond Blanc in France and Austria: Clem Mitchell, who rode in Russia, and William Shea, who rode in Germany. Rausch rode 72 winners out of 250 mounts.

His most notable winnings were on Mr. Vanderbilt's Turenne. which he rode to victory seven times during the season. Rausch declared himself delighted with the treatment accorded him by the officials of the French turf, and, as he is still under contract to Mr. Vanderbilt, he will return to France early in the spring.

Birkenruth, who rode for Edmond Blanc in both France and Austria, was well up on the list of winning jockeys, as was also Shea, who rode in Germany. Clem Mitchell, who some seasons ago was known as "Long Shot Mitch," because of the many horses quoted at long odds which were ridden to victory by him, had a very successful season Russia, and he also will return to the stable he Is under contract to early in the year. That sterling colt. Collector Jesup, is to go to Montana, where he will head the stud of a millionaire racing man in Montana. George Webb made the purchase, paying JacK McGinnis for the horse.

He will not as yet name the man for whom he is Old tinkers will be gratified to know that Luke Blackburn, the greatest race horse of his day, is to end his days in peace. W. tJ. AMison, of Belleview. who paid S20 for Luke, writes to a friend in the East that the grand old fellow will pass his remaining days in a manner befitting his achievements.

Special to The Sunday Press. BY MANHATTAN. New York, December 3. in the east came to a final and definite end for the season of 1904 when the last race was run at Bennings today, and the winter tracks will now have full swing until the season of 1005 begins at the Washington track next spring. The wind-up meeting has been satisfactory to everybody except the form players.

It. is doubtful if the recent history of the turf records a meeting w-here favorites have been so consistently and persistently bowled over. Form has counted for nothing, and the more a bettor studied the charts the more likely he was to tick a series of losers. Long shots were the rule rather than the exception. Some of the form reversals were startling, and would seem to have merited investigation.

I With no disposition to make any ac- cusations it is worth suggesting in i passing that a sharper watch on the part of race track officials for these suspicious reversals of form would be to the advantage of the sport. Of course, no one expects a horse, no matter how high his class, to run abso- tuieij irue to iorm always, but when a horse is among the also-rans in a field of second-clasa platers one day and the next time out from stake horses, it has a susniciovis look, to sav 1 he least, and the race-going public is en- titled to be shown. There has been too much of this sort of racing, not only at Bennings, but at all the eastern tracks this season. Most of the horses from Bennings will go to New Orleans, though a right smart sprinkling will be taken to California and an important contingent will go to Hot Springs, Ark. Eastern horsemen, as a matter of fact, are most favorably inclined toward the Arkansas track and many prominent eastern own-' ers have made nominations to the races, including I.

Eastern owners have not done much at New Orleans so far tbia seasosCsjEStlt. now Bennings is closed and a numbeFjpf good Eastern horses will so to the Crescent no one of last year's men made the team in There were several of them out. I too. We were lucky in getting men here. I i There were a number of football men I graduating from Geneva who wanted to I i study for the different professions, and what's more natural than that five of i them should come here.

They should not have come if I could not have con- I vinced tnem that we were going to nave a goon team. i nen mere were several men from the West who wanted to come here the year before, but I advised them not to until Athletics had been put on a better basis. When I said the word they came. Then one of our best men dropped in from Massachusetts without anyone asking him, and when we told him we were going to nave a team, he entered for a four-years' course in the medical department, and finally, after the season had started a week another man came out who had been in school for two years, but who would never have come out to play on a poor team. In former years, owing principally to the way the departments are scattered, it was impossible to get the men out to practice every day.

The training house did away with this difficulty, and besides the men were fed the proper kind of food and were kept in the best possible physical condition throughout the season. Then. too. the men all being together in one house they got acquainted with each, other and worked together better than if they had only met for practice every day. Too much credit cannot be given Captain Thompson lor the way in which lie kept the team together while I was sick.

The first game cf the season with Grove City was a great disappointment to a number of people, who did not understand the game of football thoroughly. Our offense and, defense were both at fault in that game, but it was the first opportunity we had to rind out our weakness and our strength, and it was very easy for me to remedy the defects. From that game until Thanksgiving Day no team got inside our 40-yard line with the ball in their possession. A number of our friends kept saying all the season that our line was weak. I fail to see from what they drew this conclusion, but presume they thought because it was light it must of necessity be weak.

As a matter of fact the Hue never showed any weakness from one end of the season to the other, and the number of first downs made on the line was sufficiently small to be counted on the fingers. Another reason of our success was the way everyone interested worked together to help the thing along, the student athletic committee. Student Manager Gans and Treasurer Guy Wallace. Next season there is every prospect of having a better team still. There is every reason for supposing that more football men will come here than ever before.

Nothing succeeds like success. We will have to play our early games away'' from home, as the baseball team is due to finish their season next fall in Pittsburg, but after that is over no games will be played away from here. WilmrrdinK Basketball. The Wilmerding M. C.
