day, left the hospital Friday after
noon. When asked how he felt he

and said: Fine as silk. My leg is a

| or two, but l am game for the ten-hour
race if they pull it off" The Stearns

new wheels. The chassis was unin-
! jured and the car was anything but the
total wreck that some reported. The
cause of the accident was the explo-

layer of fabric by the awful pace that

wheel and Danny thought that as the
race was nearly done he might be able
to finish safely without making another
change.
