Arizona republican., 1917-11-18

Under this arrangement the race proceeded, and it was during its prog ress that the car driven by w. Young climbed to the soft dirt surface of the outside of the track on the north side of the oval, and crashed through the fence. Driver Fletcher, with his Mercer. who was so blinded by the dust that he was obliged to follow the dust trail left by Young as his only guide, followed Young through the fence. A broken timber struck A. NJ. Pelkey, Fletcher's mechanician in the head, fracturing his skull. Pelkey was rushed to the Sisters Hospital. He was placed in the care of Dr. O. H. Brown, who sum- moned Dr. E. Payne Palmer to assist him.

 Thinks Trouble Unwarranted | President W. B. Twichell of the fair commission last evening declared I himself to be of the opinion that the near riot at the fair grounds yester- day afternoon was unwarranted, and that the real bone of contention was the old row betwee the A. A. A. and the l. M. c. A, with the representa- tives of the former organization en- deavoring to disrupt the program of the I. M. c. A.
 The officials of the I. NJ C. A. were at the fair grounds during ths entire week and were accessible at all times to those who were desirous of entering their cars in the pro- fessional event." said MT. TwitchelI.
 The original entry fee entitled these entrants to participate in the Arizona race only, and if they wished to con- pete against the imported cars. such inent should have been specified ear- ly in the week
