more games before returning to the

Jubilant over the success of their West

qualms by all, from Manager McGraw

six and hal1- game lead over the Chi
cago Cubs, and their predictions include
victory both this afternoon and tomor-
row over the Cincinnati Reds.
After the hard campaign in Pitts
burg, when the Giants took four out OF

puoyed up by success, and apparently
did not feel the strain under which thev
We're kept at full speed.

Motorcyclists Want to Use the City Race Track
Park Board Refuses to Give Them Privilege
By "Bud" Fisher

beautiful graded driveway which
leads around the track. one at each
end Of the track in fact Nobody
would expect to see automobiles US
ing the sidewalk; why then deny the
motorists the use Of the race track
simply because people want to walk
across It?
In all our neighboring cities, Macon,
Griffin, Augusta, Dublin, Columbus,
Rome, Gainesville. Athens, Chatta-
nooga, Columbia, Montgomery and
Birmingham, the motorists are al
lowed to use the race tracks and pe-
destrians are warned by signs not to
walk across the tracks. This Is moth
Ing but fair. Also In these cities when
any fair, convention or other gather
Ing is scheduled the motorcycle clubs
respond literally and willingly by Civ
ing exhibitions of racing; 1t can not
be denied that racing Is interesting
to nine people out of every ten.
The Atlanta Motorcycle club was or
ganized by the older participants OF
the sport at the beginning of the year
because the promised enormous in
crease in the number of MOTORCYCLES
sold and used was sure to bring new
and inexperienced people into the
sport, and these new members needed
the experience of the older ones to
curb their speeding" tendencies.
The aim Of the club Is to instill into
every man a wholesome regard for the
rights Of his fellow citizens; to curb
the use of the muffler- cutout, the
open muffler fend, as he is known.
and to bring the motorcycle before the
public In favorable light and i'm
press upon all people the utility, com
fort and dependability Of this modern
vehicle
Toward these ends the Atlanta Mo
torcycle club is bending unceasing eff
fort, and the police records of orr oitv
VIII show that Atlanta has fewer mo,
torcycle arrests than any other CITY
