LORD At HEAD

Infelder Replaces Gessler as Field
Leader Of Team That Detroit Has
Been Fighting for Four Days.

BOSTON. June 5.-Harry Lord. the
clever third baseman OF the Boston
American team, has been appointed
captain OF the Red Sox. In the games
played here with Detroit, Lord has
directed the fortunes OF the home
team as he did many a hard fought
victory on the recent western trip.
This does not mean that Gessler is
to be benched, but that Manager Fred
Lake and others connected with the
club have decided that man who
knows inside baseball as Lord has
proven he does, and whose position in
the infield enables him TO keep a close
watch on every move or the game. is
the man to lead the Red Sox in future
games.
Lord is today one OF the cleverest
base runners on the diamond The
state OF Maine lad, despite the fact
that this is his second year in the
major leagues, has proven a terror 10
rival teams both ar the bat and on

Should 4 Motorcycle B.

One OF the most important problems
to be solved by the Federation OF
American Motorcyclists 10 to have II
finally determined az to whether a
motorcycle should be classed with a
bicycle or an automobile or be In a
class by itself as far as legislation ef.
fecting the registration OF q machine
and the licensing Of its operator Is
concerned.
The F. A. NJ. has always taken the
stand that the motorcycle has much
more In common with the bicycle than
II has with its big brother. tht auto
mobile.
II is ridiculous to place In the same
class the little motorcycle which
makes a single track on the road.
which weighs from $50 to 1875 pounds.
and which Is less than Ave feet long.
with the big. powerful driven automo-
bile, which takes up practically the
whole OF narrow coad. which may
weigh thousands Of pounds. and which
is upwards of 10 feet long. The only
thing In common between the two Is
that they are both driven by an inter
nal combustion engine. After this has
been admitted II seems ridiculous for
our lawmakers TO place these two
vehicles under the same heading.
Is 17-foot motor boat with five-
horsepower engine an ocean liner?
The smile will Immediately appeal to
the reader and he will be convinced
at once that II is an injustice TO a
coming great American industry TO
class this little machine and the big
automobiles under the same heading.
Now that the police departments OF
the various leading cities OF the United
various state departments. sew.
eral branches OF the national govern
ment and even the army Is contem-
plating the use OF this little machine
the F. A. M. feels that radical action
on its part at this time will result In
favorable action by local legislatures,
especially as the above mentioned de-
partments are using the machines.
which will give them an opportunity
to feel the injustice OF the chasing OF
both these machines under the same
head.
