REAR TIRE OF BALKE'S
MACHINE COMES OFF

FINALLY the race got under way with
the half-dozen contestants .huddled right
in bunch as they left the scratch. and
Superintendent Will Gresham fired the
starting pistol. For the first three or
four laps they tore about the track maxi
ing much better time than mile min
ute, with Bake on an Indian machine
leading the field. Goudy was sticking
close to him in second place, however,
and both men were driving like fiends.
Then as Bake cut the curve at the west
end of the track with Goudy close be-
hind the rear tire of Balke's machine
came off and. like top. the machine
spun round and round
1t all happened In a twinkling and
bedlam broke loose in the grandstands
and the crowds along the fence. in spite
of all the police could do crowd of
several hundred broke through the lines
and began to stream across the infeld.
In the meantime. however. an ambu-
lance arrived to find Bake holding up
his machine and not even scratched.
Eye-witnesses who had been standing
close to where the accident happened,
stated that Bake was never knocked off
his feet. that just the tire flew off he
lit on the ground and keeping hold of
the handlebars on the machine as it
whirled around him several times. all the
time dragging it toward the outside fence.
He had just dragged the machine clear
of the inside fence when Goudy. COM
ing along behind him at terrific pace,
shot by within a few inches of the
wrecked motorcycle. The race was
stopped and will be run over Monday.
Balke's machine was crushed almost to
pieces.
The ssecond exciting incident came at
the close of the class B. five-mile race,
which had been run by Tommy McLewis
on an Indian in the remarkable time of
4:241a. when Referee Will Gresham, fol-
lowing the filing of protest. went to
examine the machine, 1t having been al
legged by rival competitors of the Indian
that the motor of the winning machine
was not stock motor and the race was
supposed to be by stock machines. Rob
ert Stubbs, local agent of the Indian
machines, resented the referees action
and some rather exciting scenes fol-
lowed.

for, but he was only mildly interested.
Once in awhile he and his wife talked
the matter over bit and went as
far as to hope that Miss Jennie would

very little to her on the subject.
They did not know when or how
younS~Gilbert Dale came into the field,
and the daughter did not enlighten
them.
Gilbert Dale's father was a respect
ed citizen of town ten miles away.
The son wasn't respected so much.
He was % years old, and staid old
members Of the community in which
he lived held up their hands in hor-
ror when he came racing by In his
auto, or they heard that he had par
tlclpated In another wine supper.
Nothing at all vicious about him,
but going the pace till something
should happen to bring him up short.
An old hen and young man must
turn around a few times before they
can settle down.
In due time young Dale got part
Of what was coming to him. He was
racing his auto along country road
all alone and acting as his own chauf-
feur, when the machine suddenly
swerved and he was thrown out to roll
down the bank and into river where
the chances Of stunned man for be-
ing drowned were nine out OF 10.
Miss Jennie Forbush was no he

the kerosene can from the hands Of
her mother as the latter was about
to hurry UP the fire. II she had ever

she went at II as II ehe had played the

She was on her way to visit a girl
friend living a couple of miles out

Down the bank she went after the
young man, and at some peril to her
self dragged him ashore before II was
too late.
