TRIAL
CRASHES KILL ;
StubbIefieId and Two Others
Die in Attempt to Quail
ify for Race.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, May pa gap
ing hole in a concrete wall, a break
in a wire fence, today marked the
race track where speed cost lives OF
veteran driver and two newcomers.
w. H. (Stubby) Stubblefield, vet
eran of the motor speedway course;
his mechanic, Leo Whitaker, and
Johnny Harmon, Eastern driving SEN
sation, rode their racers over the walls
to death yesterday.
Never before had three persons been
killed in day during attempts to
qualify for the 500-mile race held each
May 80. The fatalities cast gloom
among drivers and associates, but did
not silence the roaring motors being
tuned up for the long race.
The faces of those who dared death
on the hazardous turns of the 2l1-
mile course were bit grim, but their
feet rested as heavily as ever on the
accelerators of their speedsters Four
teen already have passed the test Of
Is miles at more than 100 miles an
hour, which defeated the three who
died. Others await resumption of
qualifying trials Saturday to win
places in the starting field Of 33.
Feared Deaths.
Dave Evans, veteran race pilot, yes
terday told friends there would be
fatal accidents because some of the
drivers were taking the turns too fast.
Stubblef1eld Los Angeles driver
leaped the wall on the southwest turn
yesterday, stripping the front wheels
from his racer, which overturned and
landed 20 yards outside against
fence. He and Whitaker, also of Los
Angeles, were tossed clear, but died
en- route to hospital.
A few hours before, Harmon had
smashed through a retaining wall on
the northeast turn before he COM
pleted his first lap at the wheel Of a
racer owned by the veteran Leon
Duray. His mechanic, Oscar Reeves
of Indianapolis, was in serious condi-
tion in a hospital today.
Yesterday Stubblef1eld was trying
to qualify one of three-car team en-
tered by Phil Shafer Of Des Moines,
Iowa. Shafer and Cliff Bergere of
Los Angeles, are to drive the other
cars. The three had one of the best
records for consistency Of any team
TO enter the race. Stubblefield had
finished four races and Bergere five.
while Shafer, 42-year-old veteran, has
proved steady driver.
Three drivers who qualified for the
race yesterday before the second ac-
cident. are Egbert (Babe) Stapp, Los
