SPEED CLASSIC
, Continued from Page y

CONTINUED from rage -
Racing around the speedway at more
than 100 miles an hour, O'Donnell,
running few feet behind Chevrolet
and another driver, who were next the
pole, attempted to pass his famous
opponent near the east end Of the
course.
AS O'Donnell's car, with sudden
burst of speed, started past Chevrolet,
the latter's car swerved to the right.
Apparently the front right-hand hub
of his machine sruck O'DonnelPs car,
which )urched 10 the side, swerving to
tie left and WAS str lex 2quareiy by
Chevrolet.
Chevrolet Dead
O'Donnell's car struck the fence,
tore down $50 feet of the railing, re-
bounded into the speedway and rolled
nthe bottom of the incvline-a mass
of wreckage-with Chevrolet's ma
chine. Jolls, O'Donnells mechanician,
was thrown from the car over the
edge of the track when the machine
struck the railing. He was thrown 80
feet to the ground below. He was
dead when picked up.
The two drivers and John Bresna-
han, mechinician for Chevrolet, were
pinned beneath the wrecked cars.
Chevrolet was dead when extricated
from the wreck. O'Donnell, who has
an even chance for his life, was un-
conscious when his wrecked machine
was lifted from his body.
Bresnahan miraculously escaped
death with only a few scratches.
Chevrolet's car, in which he was rid
ing, was totally wrecked. Bresna-
hams escape is explained by the fact
that the car had separate seats for

Ball a Success

The Thanksgiving ball given by the
social committee of the Woman's Ten
Thousand club will long be remem-
bered as one of the most successful
ever given by the club. A good many
of the 500 invitations sent out were
accepted.
The hall never looked prettier. 1t
had been made q bower of green with
pink lanters shedding a soft light
through the leaves. Stand lamps We're
used most effectively to enhance the
beauty of the scene. The music fur
nished by the McKim-J ohnson orches-
ira was excellent. There were nc
programs, and that explains the lack
of stiffness and formality that exists
at so many like functions.
A wonderful spirit of happiness pre-.
vailed throughout the evening and tht
affair was declared to be most cajoy.

Chevrolet, although killed, wal
made winner of the 1920 speedway
championship by the elimination OF
the speed classic, which was witnessed
by 100000 persons. Jimmy Murphy,
his closest contender for the national
championship, finished fourth, which
did not give him enough points to
overcome the lead held by the dead
driver from former races. The 1920
championship lay between Chevrolet,
Murphy, Tommy Milton and Ralph De
Palma. De Palma did not enter yes
terday's contest. Milton was forced
out early because of engine trouble
leaving Murphy the only contender
against Chevrolet.
Murphy took the 1000 prize by fin
ishing fourth. Joe Thomas took fifth
money, $1,000, and Jim Crosby, sixth,
$500, being tagged before completing
the 200 laps.

Immense Audience


Last night one of the largest crowds
| that Ell Centre ever turned out for a
show greeted the opening perform
ance of "Baby Mine" as presented by
Murphy's Comedians. The big tent
was crowded and jammed, and fully
300 were turned away.
"Baby Mine" itself is very funny
show, one of the best comedies ever
written, and Murphy's Comedians
sure put it oyer in great style. The
action of the show was halted many
times in order to restore enough quiet
so. the words could be heard, due to
the gales of laughter that could only
be stopped bv waiting.
The quartet also made big hit, be-
ing called back several times.

4 ADJUSTMENTS
"Restless Sex"

Again the people of Imperial Valley
will have the opportunity to witness
one of the seasons triumphs which
closed six weeks engagement at
Grauman's Riato in Los Angeles just
two weeks ago. "The Restless SCI"
shows several attributes of superior
attractions. Among it's qualities
which have induced James A. Cook to
continue It's run two days instead OF
one, starting Sunday, Nov. %, are the
spirited story b ythe noted author,
Robert W. Chambers, whose works
command attention at home and
abroad, and the talented cast, which Is
headed by the Cosmopolitan star, Mar
ion Davies In the leading feminine
role Miss Davies is admirably sup
ported by Ralph Kellard and Carlyle
Blackwell.
'"The Restless Sex" is a story OF
heart appeal with society back
ground. The heroine is a beautiful
young woman with desire for excite
ment. After having had taste OF
independence she strives to know life
to the full. An innocent adventure in
roadhouse eliminates in an unhappy
marriage, after which real love comes
to her.
The unfolding of the story involves
many tense situations, and the lavish
ness with which the production was
filmed not only adds inmeasurably to
it sinterest and appeal, but makes it
one of the most gorgeous cinemas OF
the season.
Other events of interest that appear
on the same program are Fox Sun
shine comedy, entitled Mary Lob
