JOHN 7. BILL PUSHES
READING STANDARDS
Territory Now Reaches Over All Cali
forna and Nevada, and Factory
Greatly Pleased with
His Success

John T. Bill & Co, who have rep
resented the Reading standard Manu-
featuring company for a number of
years, have had their territory greatly
enlarged. The factory has appreciated
the loyalty displayed by this firm, and
for the past two seasons has not only
given them exclusive sale of Reading
Standard motorcycles and bicycles in
Southern California, but has also turned
over to them the northern part of the
state of California, as well as the state
of Nevada. The increased demand for
r. S. motorcycles on the Pacific coast
is due to the fact that the Reading
Standard motorcycles are most re-
liza BILE and never fail to please the rider.
1t is the proud boast of John t. Bill d.
Co that they have never found a dis
satisfied Reading Standard rider. ON
the contrary, everyone who uses
Reading Standard is d self-appointed
r, S. advocate.
Orders are now being booked by John
T. Bill & Co for the various models
that the factory is bringing out, and
from present indications it is quite
certain that the sales for 1909 will dou-
BILE those oil last season.
The Reading Standard company, after
having made numerous improvements
to their factory during the past sum-
mer, is now building a brick addition
to the same and contemplates further
enlargements Immediately after this
sea son.
The Reading Standard company has
been working overtime four nights a
week for some time past, and from
Monday, March 8. on they will go on
double turn, running the factory day
and night. They are employing over
200 people at the present time.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-14

On these pages are shown the pic
lures of two motorcycle teams which
will line up at the new Coliseum track
this afternoon in one or more of the
events on the card.
The three riders at the top are the
Reading Standard te' m-pro and anna
teur-Paul Derkum, professional and
the Pacific coast favorite, being shown
in the center, while Seymour and Hoag,
the amateur members of the team, are
at either end. All three members of
the team have done some record stunts
at different meets along the coast, and
no one is going to cross the tape today
in any event in which these boys are
entered without first giving an exhibit
ton neither tame nor mediocre Der
KUN has his detractors, as every racer
has had, but no one has stepped for
ward yet to say that he is not a nervy,
nor heady, rider, or who is afraid to
pull the throttle wide open, and if any
one doubts his ability to make the best
man on the track ride the race of his
life this afternoons contests should
effectively disabuse this opinion. Let
Derkum forget everything else than
that he is in the racing game, and he
is dangerous man.
Seymour Veteran
Seymour is a little wonder back of
the handle bars; rides like a veteran,
is cool and calculating, with a heart
full of nerve, and the man who noses

RACES START AT
SAUCER TRACK
COLISEUM WILL OPEN ITS
MEET TODAY
Worlds Records Should Begin Drop
ping with First Event, and Fast
est Miles Ever Ridden Are
Promised

All roads will lead to the Coliseum,
the new worlds largest motorcycle
saucer track, this afternoon, the first
races of the three months meet being
scheduled for O'clock. An entire att
ernoon's program has been arranged
for both professional and amateur
riders, and it is more than probable
that with the very first race the worlds
records will begin tumbling, so conf
dent are the promoters Of the track
that they have the fastest racing cir
cult ever built.
Miles reeled off seconds faster than
human-guided machines of any de-
scription have ever Travelled since the
earth emerged from its nebulous state
will probably be attraction enough for
thousands of speed lovers to direct
their faces toward the immense new
structure which has been erected at
the corner OF SiXty-first and Main
streets. The track is located on the
same street car line by which Ascot
park is reached, and. indeed is but n
few blocks from that racing course.
Scores of cars will be provided by the
street car company and assurances are
given that transportation facilities will
be ample.
Derkum Best Local Man
large number of professional riders
have already arrived for today's events.
and others are on the way, while any
number of crack local amateurs are
lining themselves up to enter the lists.
The Pacific coast has but one profess
sional who will compete against the
eastern cracks in the person of Paul
Derkum, whom hundreds of local ad-
mirerS believe is fast enough to show
the way to anyone from anywhere.
There will be a half dozen different
makes of motorcycles entered in the
different events of the afternoon, the
most conspicuous of which are the
Reading Standard, the Indian and the
N S. u. The Merkel is bending every
energy toward having it's machine rep
resented by one or more riders, and the
Thor is doing likewise. Whether they
succeed in perfecting these arrange
ments by this afternoon is not known
at this writing, but their failure to do
so is not a sign that another Sunday
will go by without the entrance of
these machines being made.
Forty-five Second Miles
1t is entirely within the range of pos
sibility-and even of probability-that
miles will be run this afternoon in
forty-five seconds, speed so hair-rais-
ing that it is almost impossible for the
human mind to conceive it. If entire
miles are not made in this time, it is
an almost moral certainty that one or
more laps of the three and one-half
laps which constitute mile will be
reeled off at a speed equivalent to a
45-second clip, which will give the spec
tator Just as much of a real sensation
as if the full mile were at that speed.
The riders have been working hard
in practicing for their gruelling work
today. every day the past week having
seen any number of them out on their
machines, acquainting themselves with
the track and trying out it's speed pos
sibiIities. and it is believed that no
serious accidents will occur because of
this practice.

would seem that n good runner could

fifty yards by hopping on one leg. But
few runners, IL any, can afford to give

is at all strong on his legs. For the
first five yards or so they go at prac-
tically the same pace, so that to run

is hopping forty-fve he has to go more
than twice as fast, and 1t is weak
man indeed who cannot hop fifty
yards in ten seconds.
