JIMMY MURPHY RACES TODEATH
 AT SYRACUSE
Spectacular Driver I'm paled As Car Upsets
 At Bank

SYRACUSE, N. T., Sept. 15.- Jimmy Murphy, the most reckless au- tomobile race driver in the world and the champion of his wild profession, took one chance too many durng the running of the annual 150-mile race at the state fair grounds track Monday afternoon.
 State troopers picked Jimmy out of a ditch several feet from where his little bullet of a car lay on it's back with it's wheels still spinning in the air and removed big splinter of two-by-four beam from his body. They lifted him into an ambulance and Jimmy started on his last reckless ride, bound for the hospital, this time as a passenger But when the ambulance drew up at the door he was dead, the third winner of the famous 500-miIe Indianapolis speedway race to die in a racing smash up within the last two weeks.
 Merely a Jaunt
 Jimmy, a Los Angeles boy, went out in race that was just a jaunt com pared to some of the pig events in which he had driven his hultling steel comets. He was making only about 80 miles an hour at the moment, pursuing
 heQ ouuIeF OL TOTl hOElu, 4eAdS, who was crowding his big Duesenberg along in first place. about two laps ahead of Murphy, who held second po- sition.
 On the 131st lap, Murphy, the cham pion, the man whose daring even made other drivers gasp in amazement, set out after Shafer to close up the gap. Rounding the far turn, he did not re- duce his speed. In an instant the stern of the machine skidded to the left, splintered the little guard-fence, plunged through and rolled into the ditch, a wooden beam penetrating the metal of the hood. Jimmy was pitched out and landed in the ditch among the splinters, one of which impaled him.
 The crowd of about 10000 heard the crash, saw a blurry confusion of dust and rolling objects and converged on the spot. The thunder of the racing cars did not cease. Shafer blashed around again and again past the spot.
 The troopers pressed back the peO- pie. Jimmy was almost dead when help reached him.
 There are two tracks on the grounds. one within the other. The race was be- ing driven on the outer track and the crowd was held back at the outer rail of the smaller circle, providing a no-man's land for safety's sake in case machine should shoot off the course toward the infield.

Chicago White Sox Mana ger Succumbs To

 HOS ANGELEs. sept. 15 Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago White Sox died here tonight after a long illness. 9sz 5.ei.
 For several months Chance had been recuperating in South California from a breakdown suffered in Chicago last spring in an attempt to resume active management of the team. He was at his apartment here early tonight when another sudden attack caused his re- moval to the Good Samaritan hospital, where he died within half an hour. Funeral arrangements will be completed tomorrow, relatives announced.
 The White Sox manager contracted influenza in Chicago last year, later developing asthma and other complica- tions. He came to California and after a few months felt so far recovered that he accepted the offer of Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago team to come back and resume active manage ment.
 His stay in Chicago was tragically brief, however, and within few weeks he was again at Palm Springs, 8 health resort near here, fighting to win back his strength. Later he alterNated his time between Palm Springs, His ranch at Glendora, California, Lnd his apart ment here frequently visiting the Pacific coast league park here to watch the game he had been forced to give

PILorED 5 REMNANT TEAMS.
Veteran Manager Also Saw Two World
 ChampiOnshIps.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.--Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago American base ball club, who died in Los Angeles to- night. had never assumed personal charge of the team of which he was named piolet last fall. Illness compelled his return to his California hame a few days after he came here this spring to join the club after it completed it's spring training. His duties had been performed by Johnny Evers, acting manager.
 The peerless leader" as he was known to baseball fans, had previously piloted a Chicago club as manager, captain and first baseman of the Chi cago National league team. He sue ceeded Selee as manager of the Cubs during the season of 1905.
 The Chicago. Cubs won four national league pennants and two worlds cham pionships during the time Chance was their manager.
 Chances career in baseball began when he left the University of Wash ington, Irvingten, California. to join the Cubs, which the only professional club with which he had played. He was at first used as catcher but later developed into first baseman by Manager Selee.

VincenzO Fighera's Check cred Career Ended By
 POliceman's Bullet

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The sculp- tors fingers that were kept nimble with crime have modelled their last bit of clay. A New York policeman's gun has stilled whatever aspirations Vim cenzo Fighera may have had to become the worlds greatest sculptor.
 Little Italy-that section of New York which fringes the river on the East Side from 106th to 125th street. now mourns Yap's passing. His di- verse earnings made him a frequenter of every art shop, every antique shop, every store where church statuettes and eecleaiastieal vestments are. sold, as and restaurant in the vicinity of his home at No. 42S East 117th street.
 The "mob" will tell yol there never was a pickpocket ("connon") who was more tenderly disposed toward his fel- low men than Yap-when he wasn't pursuing his racket. The artists, sculp tors and shopkeepers of the neghbor- hood will tell you that Yap was "very good boy" who was always carving lit tie things out of wood clay or veget- ables.
 He'd whittle broomstick or a ''pus- sycat" until it looked like a candle or a large spike, then present it to some kid playing in the street. Or he'd walk over to vegetable stand, pick up carrot or d radish and begin whiting it until it lost it's vegetable aspect and became a monkey or bird or some thing. This he'd present to the stand man or the standmans wife, and walk away to continue his visits to his va rious haunts. But a bullet has ended it all. Fighera was caught her-handed in one of his moments of crime the other night, and quick trigger brought an end to hs career. He came from a family of sculptors. His work had already received favorable notice. But too nimble fingers have proved less nsof,,l than n handful of thumbs
