Motoreyclists Want to Use the City Race Track
Park Board Refuses to Give Them Privilege
BY "Bud'' Fisher

a 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 neighborng 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 pc
desuians 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; it 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 instin into
every man wholesome regard for the
rights of his fellow citizens: to curb
the use of the muffler- cutout, the
open muffler fiend,' as he is known,
and to bring the motorcycle before the
public ia 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 our cfty

torcycle arrests than any other CITY

HE Atlanta Motorcycle club,
an organization of $50 local
men, has a great big kick
to make. And it is just one, too.
For some reason or other they are
being deprived of their rights. The
following letter to the writer ex-
plains itself:
Atlanta, Ga, Aug %, 1912.
w. S. Farnsworth, Sporting Editor
The Georgian
Dear Sir: The Atlanta Motorcycle
club numbering about $50 young men
Of the city, wishes to be heard from on
the Piedmont park question.
Recently we wanted to hold a mo-
torcycle race meet and being unable
to get the use of the Piedmont park
half mile track we had to go to Rome,
Ga, our little neighbor of 20 900 popu-
lation, to get a track to ride on The
grounds at Piedmont park were closed
by the city fathers to all fairs, ex-
positions and pay amusements and
promised to the people free as a play
ground
The ball teams Of the City league
are allowed to use the baseball dia-
monds, the concessionaire at the lake
is allowed to hold swimming matches
and the like to attract crowds, and yet
the motorists of the city are denied
the use of the splendid driving track.
The club has taken the matter up
with Manager Carey, of the park
board, and after considering the mat
ter he is favorable to allowing the
track to be used. but the park board
purposely took this out Of his hands
by passing a special order prohibit
Ing bicycles, motorcycles and automo-
biles from using the track
The reason given is that people are
crossing the track to go to the lake.
They should be reminded that there is

her size in the United States. When
we are working hard to make the mo-
torcycle inoffensive to the general
public we feel that this unwarranteI
discrimination on the part of the park
board is grossly unfair and should be
rescinded.
Dan Carey is manager Of the nark
department and is in active charge OF
the parks. When he has made an in
vestigatfon of this matter, and guided
by his experience and judgment in
park mana cement. he finds there ia
no objection to this procedure and
even indorses it as having distinct
benefits, it certainly seems entirely
unreasonable that the park board
should impose this unjust discrimina-
ton on a certain class of the city's
population.
ATLANTA MOTORCYCLE CLUB,
T. c. BUTLER, JR.
THERE is a track at Piedmont
park and it was constructed
Tor racing. Yet because some fe,,,
lazy pedestrians do not possess tha
snap and ginger to walk on tho
sidewalk that was built for then,
they have verify pulled some wire
whereby their journey is shortened
for them at the expense of the mo-
torcyclists.
The Motorcycle club has asked
the park board to give their reason
for closing the track to motorists
but they have never given a salts
factory answer.
Is it because none of them ride
motorcycles? Perhaps if some of
them did the track would be omen
to the sport for which it was bntIt
AT any rate, it is about time that
TINS matter was looked into and
wrong made right.

All-Star Team Proves Weakness of the League
In But Few Positions Are Men Up to Standard

You can't figure anybody else in,
however, for Sykes, who is leading
the regulars in fielding. is batting
only 235, and Agler, who is second
in fielding, is batting nowhere.
Wares is out by himself among
the second basemen. He leads the
second sackers in both batting and
fielding. Alperman is a good Sec
ond, with a batting mark around
the two seventies and a fielding
record Of $50
Almeida gets his position the
same as McGilvray does-because
Of good batting and despite poor
fielding His sluggiug mark is 800
but he is fielding next to last
among the regulars. Spencer Of
New orleans, has much more con-
sistent marks-.275s in batting and
$50 in fielding
Among the shortstops It is a toss
up HARRISON is leading the short
fielders in batting, with a hefty
mark but he is next to the worst
fielding shortstop in the league.
Balenti, who is batting Just behind
HARRISON, is fielding just one posi-
ton better. Elberfeld Is no star
at either batting or fielding. but
gets the position for lack of a bet
ter man.
\ the outheld the stars aren't
peculiarly plentiful Johnson.
of Montgomery, is batting 1854 and
fielding "a thousand" But he has
been in only 80 games. Welchonce
is proving himself a real star with
a weak team and is entitled to a
position Stengle kicks in. despite
the fact that he stands fifteenth
among the regular helders of the
league. The only man who presses
him even close for a position Is
Jimmy Johnston. Of Birmingham.
The rest of the outfielders are a
total loss, as far as the averages
show
N OW disregardng the pitchers.

mere record Of games won" proves

team to stand out as the best of

fertng of the entire Southern
league?
Don't McAllister and Seabough
stand up as fine pair of catchers
alongside OF such giants OF the past
as Jim Archer, Ed Sweeney. Mig
Clarke, Sid Smith and few more?
Oh. elegant! McAlIister is a fair
man, nothing more. Seabough was
canned by the second worst team
in the league in mid season and is
not due to last very long in Glass A
company
McGilvray is pretty sorry Star
of the First Basemen." He doesn't
measure up to the standards of
other days-Jake Daubert, Jim Fox
in his prime, or any one of a dozen
that might be mentioned. His bat
ting is excellent and above the
average. But his fielding is a
crime.
Wares. OF Montgomery, is a toll
erably good second baseman, ac-
cording to the averages.
Atmelda Is useful third base
man because Of his grand sticking.
But he's a sorry fielder, even IL he
has done good work on the Atlanta
diamond Elberfeld at short is
playing good ball, though neither
his batting nor his fielding record is
remarkable.
T is in the outfield that the pres
ent league shows weakest.
Johnson is a fair man, according
to the present averages, but he
would have to play longer to make
It certain that he could keep up
such work, WelchonCe is a gen
timely good outfielder, but no star.
Stengle is Just an average man.
Compare these chaps with the
great outfelders of the Southern
leagues past-Speaker. Jackson
and the boys who have made good
in the big leagues, not to mention
men like Daddy" DUNCAN Moles-
worth. Winters, Wiseman and the
chaps who grew old in Southern
league harness.
oh, yes, it's a fine league this
year
But nobody will be sorry if next
years effort is Just shade better.

OF course, that Is not necessarily

league But the best players, ac-
cording to the averages, are there.
McAllister, OF Montgomery, gets
the position of leading catcher be

MYSTERY OF
DISAPPEARANCE
STILL BATTLING

The mystery of the disappearance
of Mrs. Anna Faber, who left the
home of her son on Second and Gun
nison last summer, is still unsolved.
and her relatives have given up in
despair any hope of ever finding any
trace of her whereabouts.
Whether she became temporarily
deranged and wandered off to some
out-of-the-way place and died or
whether she managed to leave the
city without any knowledge of her
family or friends will probably never
be determined. 1t is the most baf-
fling mystery the local authorities
have ever met.
Mrs. Faber. who is past middle
age, left the home of her son last
July. She was seen TO leave the
house and walk away by some of
the children and from that moment
not the faintest trace has ever been
found. She seems to have escaped
the passing scrutiny of every person
of the neighborhood and vanished
completely.
The relatives and friends, as we'll
as the police and sheriff's office,
made every effort but without sin
gle clew upon which to work, their
task was hopeless.
