teen miles. was made awheel. A short
stop was made at historical Port Tobacco,
where the boys INDUCED in cool well water
and Maryiand's famous watermalons. Lou

srnas hing his front wheel. He completed
the trip, with the aid of his fellow riders

giving each survivor a gold Or silver-plated
medal It is thought that solid gold pin,
in the shape of the club emblem-a winged
A-with one gold bar attached, would be
appreciated more than the ordinary medal,

which will be semi nHdally, solid gold
bar would be added for each 100 miles,
