Savannah, Ga., November 13.-Some of the inside facts about yesterdays grand prize race came to light today, among them the marvellous leap which Willie Haupts Benz took when it jumped the track at the dangerous Montgomery crossroad turn. Fifteen feet above the ground small branch Is broken off the live oak which Haupt side-swiped. Eye witnesses say that the big gray car turned a complete somersault, Its rear end smashing off this branch. Haupt and his machinician both fere thrown from the car in mid-air, diving into a thicket of bushes, which probably saved them from serious injury.
 According to officials of the course, the accident of Haupt and that of Wagner were due to disregarding warnings. Haupt was running faster than his ad- yisers had estimated he could travel and stay on the course, while Wagner refused to see a. flag which the officials at the grandstand gave him to stop. His car had dropped a bolt in front of the pits.
 wagner was so wild to rush ahead"

SOX'S CONTRACT
 SUITS JOHNSTON

Chattanooga, November 13.-(Spe- cial. .)-JImmy Johnston, brother Of Dock Johnson. the Chattanooga prod replace Joe Jackson next season as leading slugger of the Pelicans, has been signed by President Comiskey of the Chicago Americans. Johnston was drafted by. Birmingham from Ottumwa in the Central league at the close of their season but the Sox got in tn cir draft first. Comiskey wrote the young ster personally. promising him a thorough tryout besides enclosing a con- tract. the figures of which greatly ap- pealed to the embryo slugger. Jimmy received his first baseball training in the City league of Chattanooga upon the same team that developed Dock Johnston, and his first regular profess stonal berth was with Kewanee; later he appeared at Portland in the Pa cific Coast league and lastly at Ot- tumwa.
 Chattanooga fans are strong in their belief that Stephen Yerkes, who ca yorted around short for the Lookouts
 
 ern leaguers of last year who will stick in the big ring. The local fans base their convictions on the fact that Man ager Billy Smith has signed Paul Sem tell, the erstwhile Cracker to cover short This. they argue, Is an indica- tion that the Lookouts will be unable to secure the services of Yerkes next year, who Is considered the formers superior in every department of the game. Yerkes hae had a spectacular career in the pursuit of his chosen pro- fession, rising from the Carolina As sociation to the majors in three years Last year at Worcester he fielded but 1893 and hit but .260, yet his recom- mendations were so high that Dobbs signed no one to try against him--it is needless to say that his subsequent performance justified his action. In the big ring Yerkes will appear as under study of Wagner of the Boston Amer iicans

oral years ago from the Royal Swed-
