OLDFIELD RECALLS BARNEYS LAST
SERIOUS ACCIDENT SUFFERED ON DETROIT TRACK
Merry mrs.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. go
How do | feel about my husbands
racing? Am afraid or nervous? DO
want him to give up auto racing?
asked Mrs. Barney Oldfield.
Il have been with Barney at most
all OF his record-breaking trials

haps this has hardened me. or maybe,
like Barney, am a fatalist. | don't

wife of the daredevil auto racer.
Il will never forget the hrst acct
dent. II was at st. Louis during the
worlds fair. He was overtaking a
car going down the back stretch. After
they got into the turn Barney was still
behind entirely obscured by binding
cloud Of dust.
The car that was leading came
into the home stretch. Barney did not
come. waited-only seconds-but
they seemed hours.
Then heard people screaming. A
siren screamed and a bell changed.
II was the ambulance bell ringing for
Barney!
They took him to the hospital and
followed. but they wouldn't let me
see him. The next day saw him for
a moment, but 1t was several days be-
fore they would let me sit with him.
He left the hospital on crutches two
weeks later and / acted as his nurse.
THE last accident Barney had was
at Detroit: he went through the fence
at seventy-mile clip, sustaining two
bad cuts on the head. his chest was
crushed and his lungs badly cOngest-

II was downtown shopping with
Barney's mother. She was nervous
and hadn't wanted to see Barney race

About O'Clock the newsboys be-
gan yelling. Extra, All about Bar

1T was awful. Barney's mother
is deaf and did not hear what the
boys were saying. So I hurried her
