Alamo Gas Bike Club Merges
With Omaha Motorcycle Club

The Ahamo Motorcycle club,
which had its headquarters at Twen-
ty-seventh and Leavenworth streets,
has been disbanded and its members
have joined the Omaha Motorcycle
club. The Alamo club was organ
lied six months ago and at one time
had nearly fifty members. During
the last two months the feeling has
arisen that the motorcycle sport
would be bettered by having one CEN
trally-located club instead Of two. 1t
was therefore decided at meeting
held last week to disband the Alamo
club and join the Omaha Motorcycle
club, which in the last year has be-
come one of the leading motorcycle
clubs Of the country. BY the with
drawal OF the Ahamo club the older
club is strengthened and control OF
the motorcycle sport in the city will
be completely in charge of the
Omaha Motorcycle club.
