CINCINNATI, Aug 26.-Facing two
more games before returning to the
Polo grounds, the New York Giants are
Jubilant over the success of their West
ern trip. which had been viewed with
qualms by all, from Manager McGraw
down. The Giants awoke today with
six and a half 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 ont Of
1--WE games, the New York PLAYERS were
buoyed up by success, and apparently
did not feel the strain under which thew
were kept at full speed.
With an easy lead, the Giants will
have comparatively easy time Of il

ucs here, they return to the Polo
grounds Thursday for a series with
Brooklyn.
Three double headers will be PLAYED

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 unwarrantej
discrimination on the part Of the park
board is grossly unfair and should he
rescinded.
Dan Carey is manager of the park
department and is in active charge Of
the parks. When he has made an in
vestigatton Of this matter, and guided
by his experience and judgment in
park management, he finds there ia
no objection to this procedure and
even indorses 1t as having distinct
benefits, it certainly seems entirely
unreasonable that the park board
should impose this unjust discrimina-
ton on certain class of the citys

ATLANTA MOTORCYCLE CLUB,
T. c. BUTLER, JR.
THERE Is a track at Piedmont
park and it was constructed
Tor racing. Yet because some fau
lazy pedestrians do not possess tha
snap and ginger to walk on tho
sidewalk that was built for them
they have verify pulled some wire
whereby their journey is shortened
Tor them at the expense of the mo-
torcyclists
The Motorcycle club has asked
the park board to give their reason
Tor closing the track to motorists
but they have never given a salts
factory answer.
Is 1t because none of them ride
motorcycles? Perhaps if some of
them did the track would be onen
10 the sport for which it was built
AT any rate, it is about time that
this matter was looked into and
wrong made right.

Park Board Refuses to Give Them Privilege

beautiful graded driveway which
leads around the track, one at each
end Of the track in fact. Nobody
would expect 20 see automobiles US
ing the sidewalk; why then deny the
motorists the use of the race track
simply because people want to walk
across 1t?
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 pc
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; it can not
be denied that racing Is interesting
to nine people out of every ten.
The Atlanta Motorcycle club was or
gained by the older participants of
the sport at the beginning of the year
because the promised enormous in
crease in the number of motorcycles
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 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 our CITY
Will show that Atlanta has fewer mo-
torcycle arrests than any other city
