FAST GOING { AT OAKLAND \ Record Broken in Porto|a
 Road Race POPE HARTFORD WINNER
Sustained a Pace of 64h Miles An Hour For Near ly Four Hours = "Jack Rabbit" Seen in Phoenix Was a Good Second

Oakland, Oct. 23- Before over 100000 spectators, many of whom camped along the course throughout last night, Jack Fleming today Hurled his Pope Hartford across the line the winner of the oakland Portola road race, in the worlds record time of 64 50 miles an hour. for a distance of 25s miles, or twelve laps of the twen- ty-one and one half mile circuit. A close second to the Pope Hartford came the Apperson Jackrabbit," which until today was the holder of the record wrested from it. Only a few seconds behind the Apperson the Lozier. cleverly driven by Harry Kitchener. had to content itself with third place, after being a dangerous contender throughout the long grind.
 The Pope Hartford took the 150- mile race for small cars with even more ease than with which it annexed the grand prize meet but 1t was not entered in the second race, which was won by the Apperson, after duel with the Lozier which was not de- cided until the grandstand was in sight of the racers. Second place fin the small car race fell to the Autocar. admirably driven by Walter Morris.
 The races were marred by number of accidents. two of which may result fatally. O. F. Johnson of this city was struck by the Knox car. driven by Frank Free, on the course near Fruit vale and sustained injuries which will probably result in his death. An old man named McKittrick was the victim of one of the most peculiar accidents ever witnessed on an automobile race course. when his skull was fractured by a tire cast by the Sunset car. On the second lap of the small car race, A. G. Linz, mechanician Of the Max well. was painfully injured by the breaking of the ny&heel of his motor.
 Early in the race the Chalmers Detroit sustained a broken wheel and driver Howard Warner and his mechanician. James McCalley, were thrown from the machine and badly bruised
 The best time for a single lap was made by the Stearns car. driven by D. A. Booney. who swung his big racer about enc of the twenty-one and one-half mile circuits in IS minutes 15 seconds The actual elapsed time of the Pope Hartford in the Oakland cup race was hours 5s minutes Is seconds.
