CHEVROLET IS KILLED
Great Auto Driver Loses Life in
Los Angeles.
Eddie o'DonneII and Lyle Joles Also
Dead as Result of Collision in
25O-MiIe Contest.

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 27.-Gaston
Chevrolet, one Of the worlds premier
automobile race drivers, was instantly
killed; Lyle Joles, nechanician for
Eddie O'Donnell, was fatally injured
and died later at the Speedway hos
pital, and Eddie O'Donnell also died
Of fractured skull as the result Of a
collision between Chevrolet's Fronte-
nae and the Dedsenberg car driven by
O'Donnell in the turn from the stretch
in the 25O-mile race. John Bresnahan'
Chevrolet's mechanieian, was serious
1y but not fatally hurt.
The accident occurred just after
leaving the stretch in O'Donnell's one
hundred and fifty-eighth lap. O'Don-
nell, in an effort to pass Chevrolet,
who was leading, crept up beside the
Frontenac car, and the latter swerved.
The cars came together with crash
and caromed to the outer edge of the
course into the fence, a long section
of which was torn loose. They then
rolled, toward the infield. Both cars
were demolished.
Chevrolet was killed instantly. John
Bresnahan, his mechanician, miracu-
lousy escaped with injuries that sub
sequently proved to be slight Lyle
JoIes, HIS mechanician, was riding with
O'Donnell in the Deusenberg entry,
No. 8, and died of his injuries at the
speedway hospital, where all four in
jured men were rushed after the ac-
cident.
The accident cast gloom over the
biggest crowd that ever attended an
automobile race on the track. There
were approximately 100000 people in
the stands, and a majority of them
saw the smash-up.
There was scarcely a cheer as Ros-
coe Searles, driving Deusenberg car
No. 10, with tears streaming down his
face as he realized the fate Of his
teammates, received the checkered
flag denoting his victory.
Chevrolet's death occurred when the
greatest honor within the reach Of an
auto driver was within his grasp-the
national championship. With Murphy
finishing behind the leaders and Mel
ton and de Palma OUT Of the race
Chevrolet would have been crowned
speed king for the 1920 season.
