V SHE 'ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1914 ' PAGE SEVEN IT'S HIT TIME 0' YEAR AND IT SPORTS START Fitzgerald Announces Second Splash Competition of Y. M. C. A. With Revised Rules to Permit Closer Scor ing Many Entries Expected for Swimming Races Week of July 27 Three Days to Pull Meet By "SCOOP" There Beeped across the sport situation yesterday, the important an nouncement of the second annual Y. M. C. A. Water Sports Meet. Phy sical Director E. G. Fitzgerald, promoter of last year's successful meet, and inventor of the most logical scoring system now in vogue for such amateur athletics, will again have charge of the competition. Three days of good hard swimming are provided in the program aeh entry to have a chance at the three handsome medals, being com- ' pelled to go into every competition. Six items on each bill three bills heap work! July 27 Monday is the date of the first event, and the following Wednesday and Friday will finish it up. By giving the boys a. day between each two exertions, Fitz believes he is making up for the rule compelling iach entrant to go into all eighteen events. A revision of the scoring points was made for the coming meet. By observation on last year's results, Fitzgerald discovered that not all the events were properly graded as to difficulty. Fori instance he saw that a hundred yard swim had fewer finishers than a distance plunge, so he whacked off a few points to even the two events. National League f I"" ' Standings ( I Club W.

And why not with that name. Oh, yes, we forgot to say which way Topeka was leading. 'Twas not forward. D'jou ever see such a flock of pen nant races? No, you didn't. Looky: New York, Chicago, St. Louis right up there in the National; Philadel phia, Washington, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston all above the .500 mark almost close enought to be covered with a horse-handkerchief; the Chifeds, the Hoosiers within a few games of each other in the Fed eral league, with a healthy secondary growth of pennant hopes well above the half wav mark Doesn't this look like nearness. Take a tlant at the Coast league: Los Angeles is leading by a margin of but two games over Venice, and the Ducks and Seals are right there ready to horn in (imagine ducks with horns) in case of a slump. According to our Associated Press "dope," the half-way mark has been tassed in major league ball, and the race in each league is an open one. With the Giants slumping, it takes the Yanks to uphold the honor of Gotham. At least six American league clubs have pennant chances, and three in the National. Cards Nose Out Braves. ST.

Phoenix Motorcycle Club Listens to Co-operation Speech and Then Debates and Debates and Debates and Debates W BY EARNEST DOUGLAS Whether the Phoenix Motorcycle club shall have a permanent competi tion committee, or one committee to handle the Los Angeles-Phoenix race and another the race from Springerville to Phoenix, is a question that caused all kinds of excitement for two hours and a half last evening in Donofrio's Indian room, where the two-wheeler boys met for their weekly conclave. Though the committee that handled the race to Prescott was made permanent, after the president had been removed from the chair, there is no assurance that this action will not be reversed at the next meeting. So the question really will not be settled till next Tues day evening, when, it is certain, a ma jority of the members of the club will be present to express their opinions. As a matter of fact, the action in regard to the competition committee was not the most important taken by the club last night. The really import ant thing done was to acquire a club home. Treasurer Clyde Blaine reported that he had found a little house out at the corner of Eighth and Washington streets which the club could rent with out bankrupting itself. A motion in structing the house committee to lease the house right away, immediately, was adopted without a dissenting vote. The committee, with the assistance of members who are not afraid of getting their hands soiled, will do a little work around the building during the next few days and a glorious house-warming will be had Tuesday night, July 21. Bob Orput made himself the most pop ular motorcyclist in Phoenix when he announced that he would donate the watermelons for one large and moist feast on that occasion.

But about that fight over the com petition committee. It developed that there was a difference of opinion re garding whether the committee com posed of Lyle Abbott, Harry Lane and Ben Rudderrow was appointed merely for the Prescott-Phoenix and Los Angeles-Phoenix races, with authority to pull off track meets for the purpose of raising money for those events, or was a permanent committee to handle all competitions held under the auspices of the club. Even Abbott and Lane, the two committee members present, did not agree on that point. President Craig Pottinger said that the only work now before the committee was to ar range the race from Los Angeles. An other committee, composed of J. W. Thompkins, Frank Stllner and Joe O'Connell, the president said, would handle the intra-state race from Springerville, and he would handle the motorcycle track races at the fair him self, with the help of two assistants. But it developed that there was a considerable difference of opinion re garding the advisability of dividing the work among several committees. It was argued that it would be better to centralize the work, so that there would not be several competing com mittees, each pulling for its particular event. President Pottinger ruled that a mo tion to make the Abbott-Lane-Rudde-row committee a permanent one to give it jurisdiction over all the club's competitions was out of order. He continued so to rule and the discussion continued hot and heavy. But it got the club nowhere. Finally Vice Presi dent Fogle took the chair by the prac tically unanimous request of those present. The motion then was carried. Pottinger and his friends still contend ed that under the club by-laws the entire proceeding was out of order. While the smoke of battle was thick est, just before Pottinger left the chair, a motion that a committee be appointed to adopt an amendment to the consti tution giving the club power to recall the president, was adopted. It was originally made by one of the presi dent's supporters and Pottinger him self expressed himself as being in fav or of progressive principles in club government. John Hohl, Joe Gladieux and Ernest Fogle were appointed as a committee to draw the amendment. C. B. Wood, secretary to the state fair commission, made an earnest and encouraging little talk at the opening of the meeting, promising that the commission would assist the club in every way possible to make all the rac es successful. He said some things that the moteriders certainly liked to hear, and they are going to make good on those races, even it they have to recall every officer and committee in the whole works. o - THE REMAINS A negro died without medical at tendance and the coroner went to in vestigate.
