WORLD of SPORT
BAKERS MISSION ID PUT
 PHOENIX SQUARE WITH THE
 MOTORCYCLE RACING WORLD

articles in all the leading motorcycle journals telling how san Diego put over the stunt. claiming the credit for California. and mentioning Phoe- nix merely as the finishing point of an extremely exciting CALIFORNIA race"
 The Phoenix club happened to do most of the work, put up all of it's part Of the purse, and really put the San Diego to Phoenix motorcycle race on the map. The San Diego cub is short $75 toward the thousand purse, did no checking this side of it's own limits. and vet claims all the credit for the achievement. Baker has been informed of the state of affairs and is to give out in inter- views on his return, the real truth of the matter.
 Not a single publication but called the San Diego to Phoenix race the greatest single achievement in the motorcycle racing history. No other race ever devised can put a machine and it's rider to such a test. Notice how few of the starters finished! It's not fair-it's actually Californian ito ignore the part PhOeniXs live wire club played in this race. and give all the credit to the san Diego end. Believe me, not one Of us east ern riders but will stick up for the Arizonans in this matter"
 Baker is one of the most influen- tial of a cOterie of fast professional riders. who make good livings simply by representing makers al the vari- Ous professional meets. It is busi- ness with Baker. just as it is a business with Barney Oldfield. Like Oldfield. Bakers life is lived among machines, stop watches and records. To him the smashing of a worlds mark is like selling a valuable piece of property to a real estate sales man. Dividing the credit for his performances with the particular machine he bestrides, Baker has earned for himself the highest place among all-rOund motorcycle riders.
 There is nothing of the dare-d devil in Bakers makeup any more than that quality enters the character of Barney Oldfeld. If this be treason against two of the worlds speed idols, then us should worry. The term daredevil is never applied to the ultra successful stock broker, real estate salesman, newspaper writer or sewer digger. It's all in the days work. If Baker risks his life sen sationally every day of his working week, then so does the electric light man. who handles thunderboIts with ungIOVed hands, and so is the steeplc jack who climbs to dizzy heights among the spires and stacks
 Mechanism is as much a part of Bakers working tools as engraved forms are a part of the working tools of an insurance agent.
 But this does not pretend to decrv the life of the motor speedster As long as human beings demand sen satiOn, such as OIdfield and Baker will continue to make good livings by their peculiar abilities It is merely to show the status of the subject among the men of his craft and to show a little about the craft itself, that this is mentioned. So, when Erwin c. Baker returns to Indianapolis with the true tale of how the desert race was put across.

Big Tire Company Now Ready to Proceed With the Promised WOrk-No Road in State Should Lack Direction Boards
In road signs. conquer.


 Arizona's magnificent scenic and historical roads will be signed. logged and mapped this winter by the roads bureau of the Goodrich Tire company of Ohio.
 This is the information contained in letter received by Secretary Harry Welch of the Phoenix board of trade from R. r. Beck. chief of the touring bureau of the tire company. He says that the Goodrich road sign ing truck is now working Oregon roads; that it has some California roads to sign this month. but that as soon as possible the crew will be put to work in Arizona.
 Signing the roads is a pet scheme of the board of trade. For six months the board has been trying to get Goodrich to sign Arizona's roads, but so busy are the crews they have not been able to get down to this state. It was the fond hope of the autoists that the roads might he signed for the Los Angeles and Fl PasO races. but this was not to be.
 Nearly all Arizona roads need sign ing The Roosevelt scenic highway. particularly, needs this sort of at tention. There is no other highway with such scenic advantages as this one that lacks good informative signs scattered along the interesting places. There are dozen different places between the foothills of Su- peTstitiOn mountains and the dam which need signs to point out some particularly interesting point.
 All Arizona roads should be signed uniformly. says road expert. This is true. Tn few states has the good roads question been so generally agi- tated as in Arizona. and autoists are unanimous in the belief that it would be a shame. indeed. were the high ways to remain much longer without directing boards
 Of course. the Goodrich offer is an advertisement for the tire company, but that sort of advertising serves not only the company that gets it out. but every WaYfarer.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29-The battle to
overthrow the conviction OF thirty of
the iron workers and labor union Of
flcials In the dynamite conspiracy trial
at Indianapolis, opened before the |
United States circuit court of appeals /
today and arguments were to continue
FOR three days.
Neither Senator John w Kern nor ,,
Clarence Darrow, noted labor attor-
ney, whose services were sought by
the convicted men, appeared to argue
the appeal. q. NJ. zoline Of Chicago,
and @. M. Crum Of st. Louis, repre-
sented the appellants and District
Attorney Chas. M. Miller OF Indian
apolis, who conducted the prosecution
of the dynamite trial, will argue for
the government. None of the convict
ed labor heads were In court when
the fight began. Zoline In his opening
argument made the direct charge that
the convicted men were not given a
i fair trial before Judge Anderson at
/ Indianapolis. These men were not
treated fairly at indianapolis" he as
serted. Their conviction should be
wiped out No encouragement should
lbe given to trial judges who multiply
charges against defendants and by
trickery Of law send men to prison
4 Zoline attacked the conviction on two
main grounds, alleging that the In
! dictments were faulty and that CON
solidation of the cases at indianapolis
was without precedent, prejudicial to
the interests of the indicted men and
prevented them from offering an ade-
quate defense in each separate case.
The indictment charged these men
with aiding and abetting conspiracy
and also with conspiring,' said Zoline
, THE two offenses are the same, and
we, therefore, had the spectacle Of
the men being twice placed in jeop
ardy in the minds Of the jury for ths
i same o0fenss.s
y THE indictments were inexact
D They were In general terms, and thi
Y fact, coupled with the courts ruling
t allowed the government to introduc,

accusation. These conditions tended
I to confuse the jury.
