RAGING AUT0ISI
KILLED IN Crash
Sixty Thousand See Spencer
Wishart Die and Mecha-
lican Hurt
DEPALMA WINS EVENT
Tragedy Takes All Joy OF Victory Out
OF Victor, Who Gets $4,000 for
His Daring and Skill-Wis-
harris Widow Collapses.

Elgin, Ills, Aug. 22.-Spencer
Wishart has electrified his last road
race with his terrific speed and reck-
less daring.
The wild young millionaire was
killed here this afternoon when his
Mercer, travelling more than 100
miles al hour down the back stretch,
collided with Hennngs Mercer and
left the track His mechanicians,
Jenter, was fatally hurt, and five
spectators were knocked down and
slightly injured.
Wislrat's death took all the joy of
victory out Of Ralph DePalma, who
won the race in the same big Waite
Mercedes that he hurled to victory
yesterday. DePalma showed his usu-
al smile as he passed the grand stand
winner, but he continued on around
the course and pulled up at his tent.
There he was told that Wishart was
dead. The crowd was giving him a
tremendous ovation, but he gave no
heed His smile faded as he drove
slowly away, shaking his head sad
ly.
The accident to Wishart was the big
event of day replete with thrills
for the 10000 spectators massed
about the course. Twenty-eight cars,
the largest field ever started in a
simon-pure road race in this country,
faced Starter Fred Wagner at II
o'clock this morning.
Wishart's speed was again the ear
ly sensation. He received tremen-
dous round of applause as he faced
the starter and he put mile after mile
behind him, and wild Bob" Burman,
who pursued most closely until the
fatal accident. The crowd went wild
with enthusiasm.
DePalma's time for the 303 miles
was 4 hours 6 minutes and is Sec
onds, an average of 73 $40 miles an
hour, the length of mile less than
he averaged yesterday. He gets
$4,000 prize money and possession
Of the Elgin trophy for one year.
Ed Pullen took the $500 second
place money in a Mercer, averaging
70 miles an hour flat; time, 4:07.2S
Barney Oldfeld, in Stutz, was
third. for which he got 5000. His
time was 4:24.2-1O and his average
speed 6S 10 miles per hour.
Mrs. Wishart, who was married to
the daring driver on June Is, was at
the Mercer camp on the east leg of
the course. She was taken to the
hospital and collapsed when told her
husband could not live. Mrs. Wish
art is a daughter of Hugh MCGOWAN,
the Indiana traction magnate.

ton of the journey had to be made on
loose gravel surface. Although the
tide had turned from flood in his
favor about half hour before he
started, the rowing and swimming had
to be done in SLOPPY water.
His total time was As minutes 10

deducting minutes, SO seconds in
changing from the bicycle to the boat
and another % seconds, lost in remov-
ing his shoes before diving from the
boat into the water, was AZ minutes

annual celebration under the aus
pieces of the Central Trades council is
pulled off.
A Letter was received yesterday from
McGehee stating that 125 union men
and their families would arrive in
Pine Bluff Oh the morning of the
celebration on special train and
partake of the hospitality of the lab
oring men. Word has also been re-

At the last meeting of the Fratern-
al Order of Eagles it was voted to
keep open house on Labor Day for
the benefit of the visiting birds and
their families. The secretary was
also instructed to write to every Aerie

Should the War Continue
United States May See
Great Games
STAGED IN BERLIN
Lee Meadows, Il Giant TWirlcr, Who
Wears Glasses Has Been Signed
With the Cardinals and Will
Report Later.
(By Frank G.. Menke)

New York, Aug. 22.-The European
war means that the Olympic games
will not be played in Berlin in 1916
Either they will be shifted to the
United Ctates or cancelled altogether.
The latter seems the most likely hap
pening.
If the war should drag along until
1916 it seems certain that none of the
European powers engaged in the
strife would have time to think about
such pink tea battles as these staged
at the Olympic doings. And even if it
wanted to sehd team it probably
couldn't because by that time some
of their best little athletes may be
shot full Of holes.
Should war be over before the end
of this year it's possible that the
games will be played, but not in Ber-
lin. Many bunch of Frenchmen
Englishmen or Russians invading the
Kaiser's domain and devoting them
selves exclusively to peaceful sports
Imagine the German residents of Ber-
lin hiring brass band to herald the
arrival of some of their present day
enemies.
One needn't stretch the imagination
very much to figure out what would
happen if all the athletes got togeth-
err and someone started discussion
concerning the merits Of the different
armies and navies.
The officials who have charge of
the Olympic doings for 1916 refused
to state definitely whether the games
will be transferred or postponed in
definitely. But it is known that they
view the possibility of holding the
1916 Olympic games in Berlin as
hopeless
The Browns, used to free and easy
life, didn't take very kindly at first to
the Y M. c. A. methods that Branch
Hickey put into force as soon as he
took over the managerial reins. But
they've gotten used to them now, and
most of them are willing to admit that
Rickeys rules that sends a player to
bed at certain hour every p. nj. is
good one for the players general
health and general good.
Refraining from poker and other
little gambling games was another
hardship for the Brownies, but they
have overcome their gaming instinct
at least while Hickey is around.
The Browns this year are niger up
in the race than they have been for
years and years and years. Whether
the improvement is due to Rickey's
new rules, Or whether it's just natur-
al improvement that has come
through infusia nof new blood is a
question. In the meantime, Hickey
gets the credit.
The Cardinals have on their roster
a pitcher who wears glasses. His
name, Lee Meadows, a giant right
handler, who halls from Durham, N. &C..
He will report to the Cards later in
the season.
Despite the fact that Meadows is
| compelled to wear glasses while at
| work he has been pitching wonderful
baseball, and was sought after by a
number of big league clubs, but the
Cards nabhed him.
