Conecting Link Between Arizona and Worlds Mo- torbikests Folmed-Plans by the Club for Future Runs, Etc.

The first Arizona all-state organi- Zation of the Federation of American Motorcyclsts was formed and the of ficers for the first organization were elected when the Phoenix members of the F. A. M. gathered in the Indian room at Donofrio's for the purpose of completing the already well started local. In the formation of this state organization under the rules of the F. A. M. the first advance toward greater and bigger things in the mo- torcycle world was made and the future of the motorbile game in Phoe- nix and Arizona was assured.
 Phoenix F. A. M. will be the cen tral organization of the state All the members of the F. A NJ in the other cities of the state will be af- filiated with the Phoenix local. which, in turn, is affiliated with the na- tional organization. Phoenix will be headquarters for the motOrbike world so far as the state of Arizona is con- cerned, and will in it's own way have the say as to what is done in the state ''mOtOrcycally.'
  at the organization meeting last even ing are:
 Craig Pottenger, state commissioner; Ben Rudderow, state secretary; John Hohl, state refreee; Harry Lane. j. c. Blain, Lyle Abbott and F. G. Baker state advisory board.
 Each member of the advisory board is constituted, by F. A. NJ. bylaws, chairman of one of the four commit tees-good roads and highways, tours, membership, and legal action. The committees and chairmen of each, named at the meeting last evening" were as follows:
 Good roads and highways-J. c. Blain, chairman; Charles Gardner and Ellie Wilson.
 Tours - Lyle Abbott, chairman;

PHOENIX r, \, M, MEMBERS
 FORM STATE GOVERNMENT

Charles Kezer and Joe O'Connell.
 Membership-E c. Baker. chair man; John Hohl, Lorenzo Boido and J. V. Berg.
 Legal action-Harry Lane chair waine
 Maricopa county commissioner-Joe O'Connell.
 In order to interest the rest of the motorcycle enthusiasts of Phoenix in the organization and in order to have as intense rivalry in the club as pos sible, the F. A. M has arranged for q near date one of the most unique mo- torcycle events that has ever been pulled off in this part of the country. It is to be a ninehOur endurance test run under the F. A. M. rules, with mileage schedule of 20 per hour.
 Most unique is the course. which, as outlined by the club at it's meeting last evening. is about as follows: Starting at 9 am. from the Adams hotel, to Chandler, to Mesa. to Tempe, to the Adams the checking point; thence to Glendale, to Scottsdale and DdCk to Illt tlltChlllS punt. NltI ' tilS riders will arrive at about the noon hour In the afternoon they will run over the same course. reversed, fin ishing at about , o'clock.
 This course. as outlined by the club, has the double advantage of being one where everyone will see the races and where the machines will have to check in at Phoenix the maximum number of times in the race. It will be good test of the machines and the drivers, and will he sanctioned by the F. A. NJ. The date of the race will be announced as soon as the sanction can be se- ceived from headquarters.
 The activities of the F. A. M. will in the future be numerous. The club has already decided on several stunts which it will pull off in addition to the above run. and the campaign for membership will be inauglirated all over the state in addition to the other activities which engross the members. Motorcyclists are looking to the club for big things. and the members promise lots of fun and many sport ing events for all who join or follow it's activities closely.

SENATORS VS. GEMS
 IF WEATHER PERMITS

The Senators will meet the Gems today on the Grant street park in the event there is enough sunshine to dry out the grounds and in the event there is no more rain.
 Both teams are well fixed for the game. though the Phoenix ag- gregation is not in the mid season form the Gems have attained. But there is enough strength in the two lineups to warrant the suggestion that the fans will see some fast ball and some good work if they take the time to drop down to the park.
 Busted Nit Barngrover has come back and he will play 9 part of the game from the mound. Beside him Yates has several experts for the reserve crew whom he can send into the box at a moments notice.

 communication was read from the Water Users saying that cor pOration will bear part of the eX- pense of the storm sewer and curb ing that will be placed along Van Buren street. The matter of the Five Points bridge was referred to City Attorney Prescott. The city en- gineer asked if the cost was to be assessed to the district or paid from the city funds. This question will be answered later.
 There were other minor matters brought up and discussed

FREE BRIDGE FLEET
IS EN- ROUTE HERE;
Steamer and Barges Left Memphis
Yesterday For Pine
Bluff

The Missouri Valley Bridge e
Iron Gompany's fleet of bar5es
which have been for the past day or
50 at Memphis, has left that port
Johnson which will bring it to pine
Bluff. The material for the con-
stuction of the free bridge will
reach this city by the latter part Of
this week or the first part of next
week. The Memphis Commercial
Appeal has the following to say CT
the fleet of bargks:
1.-TWO bridges are being construct
ed in this section and the river is the
best means of transporting supplies
to the construction points. A 3d.
000, 900 steel bridge is bein construct
cd at Memphis, and a 100000 steel
bridge is being built over the Arkan-
sas River at Pine Bluff. Several
barges of steel and cement passed
Memphis few days ago en- route to
Pine Bluff. Today the steamer Net
tie Johnson, Capt Powell in charge,
will carry tow of ba@ges to Pine
Bluff to aid in the construction
work there. The Missouri Valley
Bridge & Iron Company is doing the
work at Pine Bluff.
''The Nettie Johnson arrived late
yesterday afternoon from Rosedale
with the steamer Lightwood in tow.
The lightwood blew a boiler head at

lilsles, revolver shots, bells,

shered in the New Year in Pine
Bluff last night. The old 1918. which
has passed into history, was "rung
out all over the city, where watch
parties, dances and other social
affairs aided to make the occasion
one Of many gatherings. Downtown
the streets vert not entirely DESERT
ed, for hundreds of people waited to
witness the close of the doors of the
local saloons, which makes Pine
Bluff dry town-for twenty days at
least--for the first time in more than
thirty years.
In various homes private parties
We're enjoyed and when the clock
tolled its last twelve of the 1918
period, everybody got busy. Phones
We're ringing all over the city,
persons wishing each other Happy
New Year, and there was a general
good time on every side.
The closing of the saloons created
more comment than any other
feature of the New Year festivities.
