PLAYA DEL REY. Cal, April 1.-two
American speedway records were broken
on the motordrome yesterday. The crowd
also was thrilled by two accidents that
proved more spectacular than dangerous.
III the ten-mile free for all Ben Ker
scher, while leading by safe margoin IN
a. Darracq car, threw a tire. The ma
chine was racing eighty miles an hour
at the time and the tire rolled along the
upper rim Of the track for two hundred
feet and then jumped the outer fence.
The car swerved badly. and It was with
the greatest difficulty that Kerseher
brought the machine to q stop without an
accident. Bragg was following closely n
by only a few inches.
In the second lap of the fifty-miie race
Buick car. driven by Nikrent. broke
steering knuckle and slid off the track
Nikrent slammed on all the brakes and
the car stopped right side up. The pitch
OF thetrack prevented bad accident as
1t caused the car to slide toward the in
side instead OF shooting through the
fence.

BUCKNELL DEFEATS

the Blue and Gray in
Interesting Game.

Georgetown narrowly escaped shut
out at the hands Of the Bucknell team
yesterday afternoon, when the visitors
scored a total Of eight runs to one for
the Blue and Gray.
Despite the one-sidedness Of the score
the game was an interesting one. Up un-
till the eighth inning 1t was pitchers
battle between Balzer for Georgetown
and w. Piez for Bucknell. But, OF course.
Balzer had not reached the explosion
inning When he did, which occurred in
the eighth, 1t was all over for George
town. as five runners scampered across
the pan for the northerners. Piex. on
the other hand. plugged steadily on and
held the local team well in hand all the
way through fhe nine innings.
Daniels, who covered the initial sack
for the Bucknell team, was the star with
the willow, getting a home run, double
and single out of four trips to the pam
Piez not only pitched a good game but
helped the run-getting by driving out a
home run and double. SitterdinE con-
neoted for two doubles and led with the
stick for the Blue and Gray.
Sitterding also played a star game in
the field for the local team, while Man

who should get the fish, Is a ques-
ton which puzzled number OF local
anglers recently. although the persons
directly interested had no difficulty in
solving the problem
The query arose in a case in which To-
cal sportsmen were treated to a real fish
story. while those who were at Chappa-
wamsic the Sunday the stunt was pulled
of had no reason to be skeptical. Jesse
Middleton. authority on fishing. was
there. and he related just what occurred
Two Sundays ago Benjamin Ecklor bet
ter known to his companions as Uncle
Ben." and E. J. McGolrick were at Chap
pawamsic together trying their luck. and
the former hooked one Of the big fish for
which the place is noted
1t was an unfortunate thing for Uncle
Ben that his last years line had become
disabled and that q fish carried Off q
section of 1t. His hooks were Of a pecu-
liar pattern. and he was satisfied he
would be able to identify the Ash by 1t,
although such thing as ever seeing the
fish again did not enter his mind. The
following Sunday Edward Mulligan and
his son were among the sportsmen at
Chappawamsic. and it remained for the
latter to get the big fish.
The son had many times heard the ex-
preston, IF you can't catch EN- shoot
en-" and he got the fish by shooting
He was strolling along the shore with his
rifle In his hand when he saw the form Of
q big one In the shoal water. \ shot
from his rife struck few inches from
the mark. and the fish. thoroughly fright
ened made an effort to get away from
the shot and landed on the mud. When
the young man picked up the squirIning
fish he was surprised to find the hook
and part of the line Uncle Ben" had lost
the week before.
And a singular thing about the fish. :"
said Jesse Middleton, was that its gull
let was completely closed by the hook
and had prevented 1t from taking food.
The fish weighed considerably more
than six pounds.
It is not an uncommon thing to find
a hook fast in the mouth Of fish
after 1t is landed. There are many
anglers in this city who have mad such
an experience. but only few OF them
have succeeded in catching fish shortly
after losing a hook and at the same time
recover the hook.
"Such was the experience Of n. C.
Harper, deputy clerk of the Police Court. .
remarked a companion who was with him
on fishing trip to Great Falls some
time ago.
The two men had had some success,
although the fish they caught were not
big ones Late in the afternoon Harper
hooked a fish that gave him lot of
sport. but which disappointed him by
getting away with hook and part Of
his line, just as he was about to lift 1t
from the water.
"I'll see II can't get that fish" he re-
marked. not imagining he would ever see
1t again.
Shortly before dark the fish returned.
took the bait, and was landed. II had the
lost hook in it's mouth, and so delighted
was the angler with his success that he
removed the hook and gave the fish its
freedom.
