Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-22

hound was running beautifully. As she
passed the grandstand mile after mile
the soft Whirring of the well grOomed
machinery could be heard clicking in
perfect rhythm, and was the subject of
remark from many experts who We're
taking in closely the performance.
Hanshue met with trouble which de-
layed him, and then the Sunset sped
into the lead and held it for quite dis
tance. until the car was stopped on the
backstretch. il later being ascertained
that McLarty's little charge had broken
her steering knuckle, too, and came
within an ace of running through the
fence. but fortunately stopped as she
headed for a chance to escape from
the gruelling grind.
Guy Irwin. who had been driving
along steadily and consistently with
his big gray machine. and made one
more lap than the Sunset. which had
just been disabled, and but few in the
grounds but were looking to see what
had happened to the Sunset. Irwin
passed the grandstand on his seventy
eighth lap. and smiled at his employer.
Ralph Hamlin, as much as to say, This
Is what l have been looking for all
the time" He seemed to take on in
creased speed as he passed with Han
shue at the pits, and he and the game
little Cadillac holding down the track
alone. He went by with a whirl and
reached the first quarter pole, when
suddenly his car was seen to run
straight as an arrow across the track
climb the track al that point where
it banked and jumped into the air,
smashing the fence as she went
through it, tearing out two bents in the
fence and plunged down the twelve
embankment.
As soon as it was realized what had
happened a rush was made for the
scene of the accident, where il was
found that the car had made two or
three sOnersaults, Irwin carrying a big
piece of two by four timber in his face
as he went through. and landed at the
foot Of the embankment, his car
smashed badly and he slightly injured,
and his ncrVy mechaniCian unhurt-One
of the most marvellous escapes from
death probably ever seen. Irwin was
badly stunned, but an examination was
made, proving that no arms, legs orI
ribs were broken and the game driver
sensible and conscious McIntire es-
capped without a scratch, and was al
ready helping his wounded comrade
when assistance reached the stricken
car
An ambulance at once took the in
iured man to the hospital, where a fur
ther examination showed that no more
serious injuries ndu occurred tlan
severe shaking up, a slight Wrenching
of the shoulder and pain in his head.
The car will not be thoroughly disabled.
but viii require to be almost wholly
rebuilt.
While these matters We're occurring
Hanshue resumed his run on the track
followed by the pluckv little Cadillac
the very same car that was twice
overturned on Saturday, which now
took second place and kept it to the
finish of the race.
At the 1O0-mile mark Hanshue was
found To have made the century run
in l:22:l0 3-j seconds, and came within
ten seconds Of beating the coast record
for 100 miles Of 1:22 fiat, held by the
Franklin.
A few moments later another whir
was heard on the track and down
came the little Corbn with Livingstone
cutting her loose for all she would
stand, thirty miles behind the Rabbit
and tWenty-six miles behind the Cad
lilac and never again will Livingstone
drive a prettier race than the last
thirty miles he made Sunday. His car
had had trouble with her gasoline feed,
which being remedied, brought her
around to her usual racing speed, and
her driver held her TO her lines with
as perfect nIceness as though the track
