when a tire blew out at the east end OF
the speedway. His car left the track
and fell fifteen feet with him and his
~mechanician. Lewis Peil The latter prob

the only accident to mar the opening
of the course. for in the 23Sth mile Will

The race was watched by a crowd of
1000 persons and there were thrills
enough to satisfy them all. From the
very outset the race was between De
Palma, milford ana O'Donnell. DE
Palma was in front at the first half
century mark and gave way to Milford

BOSTON WATCHES MORSE GIRL.
Then Decides Mrs. WiRhtMan IL
Far better Tennis Player.

BOSTON,. Aug. THE Longwood
Cricket Clubs annual tennis tourney
ended to-day with a mixed doubles
match in which Mrs, George II. Wight
man and II. G. Johnson defeated Miss
Molla Bjurstedt and Irving G. Wright in
straight sets at 6-3. 6-+. Go.
Miss Bjurstedt was the weakest OF the
competitors to-day and aside from a fine
forehand drive there was little about her
game to cause local tennis followers to
erphuse. She seems to lack the strate-
giCal powers Of Mrs. Wightman and her
game to-day wotully lacked balance.
While Mrs Wightman was mixing her
strokes in splendid fashion there was
hut little variety to Miss Riurstedt's
game. johnson outplaced all the others,
vith Mrs. WiChtman n close second. The
third set hristled with activity, Wright
having no less thai ten aces against six
errors. This set was marked with
harder rallies than any pf the others
and also the hitting was far harder.
