Of the lengthy grind a machine driven
by Tobin .DeFIymel hit a fence and
turned over in the track, throwing
DeEymel and his mechanician upon
the track. Clark was just a few
yards in the rear when the accident
occurred and he realized that 1t
meant death to DeHymel II he con-
tinued his course The only other
alternative was driving rel a twelve
foot embankment and risking his own
life. Clark too this chance and
escaped with slight injuries, though
his machine was completely wrecked.
When the spectators learned Of
Ciark's heroic act they made up a
princely purse and presented it to the
nervy dare devil. Later he was
given the Carnegie medal. Though
Clark has won many medals and cups
and trophies in races since thai time,
he values nothing above the little
Carnegie medal.
The Texas boy has been in several
smashups this year.. At Columbus in
May he suffered the loss Of his thumb
when he crashed through two fences.
Clark held firmly to the steering
wheel when the big red monster left
the track and q board smashed his
thumb, necessitating amputation.
Charles Hawkins, mechanician for
Clark, suffered four fractured ribs, a
broken shoulder and other injuries at
the same time. Both are still in pur-

Estimates that the North Dakota
