BRIGHTON BEACH MOTOR
DROME, N. Y, May 14.-One man
Killed and another painfully MANNED
and FIVE more badly bruised was the
hospital record for the first ten hours
of the twenty four-hour race held at
the Brighton Beach Motordrome track
last night and today. At the end of
the tenth hour the Fiat car led with
497 miles to its sScredit and the Rainier
was only one mile behind.
The cars, with the Buick pair in the
lead, ran without serious mishap
until midnight, thus disappointing the
auguries of those who criticised the
starting of the contest on Friday, the
18th. About fifteen minutes after mid
night the looked-for crash came. The
Marion car, driven by Hubert Ander-
son, tore through the fence on the turn
into the home stretch and turned
turtle. Anderson jumped clear of the
wreck, but his mechanician, William
r. Bradley, was so badly mangled that
he died an hour later In the Emergency
Hospital, at Coney Island, from con-
cussion of the brain and a fracture of
the skull. The second accident hap
pened at 2 o'clock this morning when
the Buick car, No. 2, driven by George
Dewitt, crashed through the inner fence
on the turn into the back k-stretch. The
driver escaped unhurt, but the mech
anican, Jack Towers sustained frac-
ture of a leg and internal injuries.
Early this morning the doctors at the
Emergency Hospital said Towers was
resting easy and would probably re-
cover.
About three hours later the other
Buick car was disabled by the break
ing of a crank shaft, and 1t was towed
into the paddock by the official car.
Louis Strang, after an hours delay,
had the Marion car going again and
he made good showing. In speeding
around the turn into the homestretch
Strang had miraculous escape from
a. spill. as he tore through the fence
and came out through the other angle
of the barrier without scratch.
