BOSCH TROPHY OFFERED
FOR MOTORCYCLISTS

The amateur motorcycle championships
Of the United States will be run at St
Louis, July Is to IS The Bosch trophy
has been donated again. 1t is a mag
nincent silver trophy over two feet high,
and will be presented TO the rider who
accomplishes the most consistent per-
formance in the amateur championship
races which are run during the conven-
ton of the Federation of American Mo-
torcyclists. The winner of the Bosch
trophy also receives the title. National
Amateur Champion Motorcycle Rider of
America
The awarding of the trophy is deter
mined by a point system, the winner,
second and third place men in each OF
the championship events receiving a GER
tain number OF points and at the end OF
the series the rider who has gained the
greatest number is entitled to both the
trophy and the title OF amateur cham
pion. The point system has been ar
ranged by the donors. the Bosch Mag
neto Company, of New York. and II is
so arranged that IL is practically neces-
sary for the winner of the trophy to COM
pete in all events.
The motorcyclists of the United States
are deeply concerned in this great contest
due to the fact that the winner OF the
trophy receives the highest title that can
be gained in America for amateur motor
cyclists and considerable competition is
assured as practically all OF the promi-
nent amateur riders have expressed a
desire to compete. There are also a num-
ber OF dark horse" riders going TO St
Louis and probably a more hotly con-
tested series of national amateur cham
pionship races will be run this year at
ST. Louis than ever has been run before.

'SEMAPHORE SAMMY is
ALWAYS ON THE JOB
He Prevents More Accidents at the
Overland Plant in a Day Than a
Railroad in a Year.
TAKES A COOL, QUICK HEAD

At the plant OF the wilys-overlsnd
Company, makers of Overland automo-
biIes, in Toledo. Ohio, there is a certain
humble employe who has the distinction
of being the most popular man in north
western Ohio. And though he is daily
greeted by a large majority OF the 5000
Of his fellow employees and officials OF
the company, and has a CHEEKY Hello
and q familiar wave Of the hand for
every one Of these friends, II is safe 10
say that the paymaster Of the firm is
the only man in the big organization
who knows his real name. For this man
is Sammy to every one OF the thou
sands who pass his station several times
day. Some call him ''Semaphore Sam
N.Y." but the majority are content with
the shorter part of his nickname.
Though at first glance, Semaphore
Sammy looks no more important than
any ordinary factory watchmAn. his is
a responsible position. According TO sta
tistics compiled by the heads of the firm,
Sammy" daily averts more costly
wrecks than even the most reckless rail-
road is able to bring about in a whole
year. In fact, that is "Sammy's" whole
duty to avert wrecks, Snd his capability
along this line is shown in the fact that
in the fifteen years or more he has been

While "Semaphore Sammy's" working
quarters in no way resemble those Of the
towerman on a big railroad, his duties
are just as arduous and important. Where
the towerman has a big, elevated build
ing, with a long line Of switch and de-
railer levers to manipulate, so that the
trains under his control are run on the
proper tracks without accident and with
out loss OF time, SAMMY has only a
little watch house, scarcely large enough
to whip a cat in" as he puts II him
self. Instead of levers he has only half
a dozen signalling devices and there are
only three roads 10 watch where the
towerman sometimes has fifty or sixty
switches and a score or more OF tracks
constantly under his eye. But Sammy's"
is the nerve-TaCking and wearing job,
for there is more travel in an hour on
the three roadways he guards than over
the busiest railroad in the world.
"Sammy's" station. where he has held
forth since the old POpe-Toledo Com
pany occupied the present Overland plant,
is at the intersection OF three drivewAys.
two OF which come from inside the huge
quadrangle formed by the factory build
ings and the third from the street This

With an average OF l2o cars an hour

MOTORCYCLE Club IS
BUSY DAY and night
Members Journey to Abbottstown, Pa.
for Weekly Trip and Others Are
Now Touring Country.
SMOKER PROVES BIG SUCCESS

The Washington Motorcycle Club jour-
neyed to Abbottstown. Pa. for their
weekly trip last Sunday and. though
there were but eight or nine riders in
the crowd. owing to the absence from
the city Of most Of the members on ac-
count of the Fourth Of July and Sunday
coming together, the participants had
one Of the most successful runs Of the
season. The start was made at g. m.
and at Laurel a heavy rsinstorm was
encountered, but after a short wait the
speedsters were on their way. not TO stop
again until reaching their destination.
Nat Sterling acted as captain in the
absence Of Buck Grier, and he kept
away in front and paid toll for all, SO
that the riders had 10 stop for nothing.
Not a puncture was the record for the
days run and no engine trouble at all.
At its meeting last Wednesday night
the Washington Motorcycle Club was
provided with eats and smokes galore
by the entertainment committee. The
business session was held first and after
this meeting came the good things. At
the conclusion of the Indoor sports the
members rode to Glen Echo. where they
participated in the different amusements.
The boys remained at the park until the
lights went out
Quite a number OF the boys are now
on trips and many are planning their
vacations TO be taken astride a motor
cycle, but, notwithstanding this short
age in membership, there is still enough
left at home to make up a good sized
crowd, and this aggregation will today
make the run tc Bay Shore, Nd, where
they will enjoy a shore dinner and salt
water bathing. They will leave the club
rooms on Ninth street al : o'clock this
