another Erie equine, third. Faunee,

The Thrill Of the Day.
An added feature, a five-mile
motorcycle race, caused the thrill
of~the day, an occurrence which
may mean no more competition OF
its kind on the local turf. Clarence
Ebsen, a 19-year-old daredevil Of
Clinton, Iowa, is today in St. An
thongs hospital with a broken
arm. a badly cut upper lip and
tongue and numerous bruises, as a
result. While tuning up his ma
chine before the race Ebsen's cycle
skidded on the west turn, crashed
into the fence, tearing two posts
from their holes in the ground, the
machine bounding in the air and
turning completely over with its
rider into a hollow, missing a
cement culvert by only few feet.
/, Luckily, Ebsen was hurled great
er distance than his machine. es-
! Gaping from lighting under it. He
was unconscious when picked up.
His left arm is broken between the
elbow and shoulder. A large splin-
ter from the fence pierced his lip,
displaced one or two teeth and cut
his tongue. He bled profusely at
the mouth and nose
Ebsen was carried to the first
aid tent Esterdahl's ambulance
of Moline was called and he was
brushed to st. Anthony's hospital
doctors believe that there are nc
internal injuries. While Ebsen was
! lying in an unconscious state be-
side the track the other entries
| went on with the race. Two OF
them, Buck Sarginson of East Mo-
line and Mi:lard Wall of Cedar RAP
ids, fell from their cycles in the
trials, but were not injured They
attributed this to the fact that the
truck, underneath the dusty sur.
! face, was hard and slippery. The
time was slow, the boys needing
the warning by the injury to Eb-
sen. Minard Wall was first Cor.
don Hughes, fellow townsmen
finished behind him, and Joe De
PoOyer of Rock Island came ir
third. Buck Sargihson was more
sensible than the others, took hi;
time and, realizing that he could
not win without periling his life
dropped out of the race after max
ing most of the laps.
The ball game scheduled for tl.t
morning was called OF, one team
failing to make its appearance.
