RETALIATION WITH
 F. A. NJ. IS PLANNED
Club Rooms, Tours, Races and a Part in Gasoline Activity of County, Ob- jects of Newly Formed Association

Tours. runs. races, meets. ban quets. fun, joIlity and an additional list of thousand good things are what caused the reorganization of the Phoenix Motorcycle club list evening. With the recollection of J. L. McNew as president. the club secured again the services of a live one as it's head. And with the additional assurance of help from the rest of the corps of of ficers, the club is now prepared to go ahead and take it's place as the lit tie brother of the MaricOpa Auto club.
 AffiliatiOn with the F. A. M, the fitting up of club rooms and the ar ranging of a race program for Labor day and the state fair, November 3 to S. are three of the biggest things lined up for the clubs immediate flu ture. As to the latter. the club will at once make formal request of the fair commission for use of the mile track for practice in order that the fair may see a set of speed events no less exciting than those participant ed in by the motorists.
 The best thing of all in connection with the reorganization of the club is the declaration of peace between the factions. War among themselves has kept the P. M. C. from being bigger and better known than it is. It is the private opinion of the Phoenix Phan, who knows and sees a few other things beside baseball and boxing, that the splendid impression made on Phoenix mOtOrcYclists by the spread at the Yavapai Motorcycle club on the occasion of the July 4 visit at Prescott of a number of the Phoenicians, has had great deal to do with the unrest that now results in perfecting the local organization. The cosy club rooms, the magnificent banquet right in the club the feeling of perfect accord among the members could not have failed to make impress sions on the chugbike adventurers. And of course on returning, the wan derers spread the news. Now there is agitation for a club just as good if not better than Yavapai's, the local boys feeling that what they want they can have-if they just get together and work for it.
 The election of officers resulted as follows: J. L. McNew, president: V. Bohn, vice president; Craig POttin ger secretary; Maurice Valentine, treasurer; Lew Irwin, captain; Harry Lane and J. Frank Albright, lieuten- NAA'Ni members at large of the board of governors.
 With such an able and efficient body of governors, the club will hencefOrth be free from the petty troubles that have heretofore disrupt ed it. Work together is the only slo- gan of the new organization.
 With a broad valley, lined with points of exceeding interest, it will be easy for the club to pull off formal runs and longer tours As a strong organization, the club can step into it's proper place alongside the Mari copa Auto club, with which it will work in close touch. There are in numerable chances for these two az gregations to help each other. As to club rooms, it ought not be diff cult for the new organization to come to bat with something real classy. Al liance with the Federation of Ameri- can Motorcyclists will greatly increase the strength of the club and will un- doubtedly insure the attainment of the club rooms and all the other things the members desire.
 There will be another meeting of the club Tuesday night, July 29.
