M0T0RCYCL|STS willing To
PAY THE. CITY FEE OF So
"

The members of the Spokane
Motorcycle association are endeav-
oring to get the cityt council to
pass an ordinance whereby they
may use the cinder paths with GER
tain restrictions. The recent cru
SADIE to compel them to pay the
state license fee of 81 has aroused
them to action, and they desire the
passage of city ordinance allow
ing them certain privileges in re-
turn for a license fee of 81 paid to
the city.
The state law referring to motor
driven vehicles is not enforced by
any city in the state, according to
members of the legislative commit
tee of the association who have
made inquiries regarding the 50
fee. No city collects this fee or
makes any attempt to. they say.
And in return for the right to use
the cinder paths the cycle riders
would be willing to pay a 81 fee,
but they would prefer to pay it
into the treasury Of the city where
the money could go for the up-keep

TIP WRIGHTS
OWN COLUMN

For the first time since one of
the White Sox (said to be Ed
Walsh sprung this years signal
tipping story, in which the New
York American league team was
charged with using signals to help
the batter get the better of the
pitcher, there appears to be some
foundation for the charges.
Heretofore base ball men have
laughed and said. That's a joke.
There's nothing to it. It's an an
nual."
But now, with Hugh Fullerton
of Chicago publicly challenging
President Ban Johnson to investi-
gate, l for one believe there may
be something in the story.
Fullerton, than whom more
competent base ball critic does not
live, declares he has positive proof
that the Highlanders benefited by
signal tipping. He takes up John
sons offer of $500 to anyone who
will reveal the truth, and says he
will give it to charity if he gets it.
Fullerton investigated the sig
nal tipping story He says he has
affidavts from several players, not
alone Chicagoans, supporting the
assertion that batters knew what
the pitchers were going to throw,
because someone put them wise to
the catcher's signals.
Johnson hasn't paid much at
tention to the charges up to date,
apparently. But now that Fuller
ton has declared himself, the big
chief will have to go to the bottom
of the case.
Base ball is founded upon hon
esty. 1t cannot harbor crooked
ness, and for the good of the en-
tire structure it behooves Ban to
get on the wagon and drive over
the bumps, regardless Of his pas
sengers' feelings.

The members ask for an ordi-

paths, but STIMULATING that the ma

THAT the power must be turned off

list; also that the number must be
painted in large figures on the rear
guard. This they believe would eff
fectually safeguard the interests of
the bicyclists.
