Paul Taylor, son of w. n. Taylor, 262S
Fifth avenue south. was badly injured
yesterday afternoon at the field day ex-
ercises of the Clinton and Garfield schools
at Minnehaha park. The boy darted
across the track during bicycle race
and collided with Earl Howard, one of
the wheelmen, injuring both. At a late
hour last night Taylor had not regained
consciousness, although physicians were
at work over him. 1t is feared that he
suffered a concussion of the brain as
well as internal injuries. Howard was
bruised about the head, arms and legs,
but was not seriously injured. The out
come of Taylor's injuries cannot be
determined.
At the finish of the quarter-mile BIZ
cycle race, as the riders came into the
home stretch, Paul Taylor, who was
deeply interested in the result of the
race, darted suddenly out into the track,
behind the two leaders in the stretch.
forgetting the other riders in the race,
and running directly in front of Earl
HOwaId's wheel. Howard was unable
to stop himself, and so sudden and uneX-
pected had been Taylor's move that
none were prepared and Howard collided
with him, throwing both to the ground,
the handle bars of-the wheel striking
Taylors side and one pedal striking him
on the head as he fell. The next rider
behind Howard was thrown over both
Howard and Taylor.
