When IN" machine struck the post

Most OF those in the grand stand and
In the bleachers near the scene Of the

tmbuiances Summoned.
As soor as some Of the mon were able
to collect their senses an alarm was sent
10 Newark police headquarters and am
balances from the city Hospital and
the German Hospital We're SEM to the
stadium.
Among the spectators We're three ply
sicians-Dr. William SAtterer. the track
physician Or. Thomas Pascal and DE-
McCormack. They did what was posi-
bic In collecting the injured and re-
lievtng pain until the ambuances ar
rived
Most OF the injured We're men and
boys who were sitting IN the first row
" the bleachers along which Hasha :
machine had travelled as II left the
track. Several were picked up uncon-
sc.ous Most of their injuries were
about their heads and the upper parts
of their bodies, showing they were lean
ing forward when the wheels of the
notorcyc," rassed over them.
There wele mea and boys with trac-
tured skulls ana broken arms hanging
helplessly over the rail where they had
fallen. The cries OF the injured were
pitiftil. and many women who did not
faint became hysterical. Worse than
the outburst was the sight oc the un-
conscious. for none knew whether they
were.stiled by death Of injured.
One Boy Unidentined.
Ono OF the victims OF the accident
was . fourteen-year-old boy. wearing

by the front wheels OF the motor cycle as
II shot into their midst. or by parts Of
, the machine. which whizzed IN every
direction after the impact with the pole.
As soon az the other racers realized
there had been a serious aCcident-and
Seymour al least did not know Of II
untn he had circled the track and heard
the shouts and cries OF the people-they
left their machines and mixed with the
crowd near the scene OF the accident.
Two or three of them were so appalled,
that they broke down and cried.
Seymour said that as he was racing
. along he noticed Hasha was looking
back and ne thought then that he was
having trouble with his cylinder.
How Accident Occurred.
It 10 believed by others that Hasha
was too good man to glance backward
while going at the rate Of ninety miles
an hour. They think he was reaching
hack to reple nieh his engine with oil just
at the moment that he lost control Of his
machine. Another explanation was that
a tire burst and shunted Hashas ma
, chine up the incline into the bleachers.
Albright was unconscious when he
was picked up near tho Judges stand.

not be able TO live. His wife and her

spot where the accident happened. Mrs.

husband was hurled from his machine
and was one OF the first to reach him.
