Co., Said the Green Flag-Bu Death Was at
the Steering Wheel-and Clay Weatherly Is Gone

held his breath until the two kids
had qualified and were back at
the pits, safe.
So, yesterday morning at 10
sharp, the 24-year- old driver and
his younger mechanic, bright un-
der the brilliant sun, brave with
the borrowed courage of "a other
men, who were not afraid, got into
their car and drove.
Eight laps later the terrifying
yellow light appeared on the
track; all cars slowed to so miles
an hour; every one wondered what
had happened.
Eventually, the green light
flashed again and the speed picked
up to the monotonous high-pitched
whine that is heard nowhere but
at the Speedway. People sort of
forgot. Pitmen looked for and
spotted their cars and knew they
were still in the race.
A LII except pit seven. An old,
N gray, imperial man came
along the pits and stopped at
seven. No one was in it. He
turned to the next pit.
Some one get the gasoline out
of this pit" he ordered. Its got
to be taken away from here. The

That's the way the pitmen knew
Weatherly had kept his appoint
ment with death and that young
Bradburn was critically injured.
Today Bradburn is at Robert
Long Hospital, his back broken,
and his condition still quite
critical. Eight laps of glory
paid in full.
Some one logged the gasoline

can out of pit seven, back to the
garages. The race was on again.
The pitmen said nothing. Only
after the race was over would
they comment, and then only to
say: The kid shouldn't have
driven. He was scared of that car
and scared of the track"
AL Gordon and Frank Howard
crashed against the wall next time,
and again the cars slowed down
and people gasped and there was
a tenseneSS over the pits.
n
DUT Gordon himself, bearing
ID only a scratch on his upper
lip, walked into the pits and told
the boys that, save for the loss of
his car, everything was all right.

L don't know how it happened,
he said, she just got away from
me"
And he spent the rest of the
race trying to find some one to be
a relief driver for. Once he was
in Rex Mays car, ready to go, but
it was then that the fault was
found in the car and it was re-
tired from the race.
Nobody ever says much in the
pits. Drivers come in. gulp a soft
drink. smoke a cigaret, hop back
in their cars and streak away
again-some times to keep an APP

ride in a growing car in

illusion of speed to its absolute

Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

7 IKE his father before him, James
Evans has passed his entire life
time around circus tents, vaudeville
houses and carnivals. The dazzling
display of tricks which constitutes
his act at Loew'S Fox this week is
an accumulation of the years and,
oddly enough, meant little in his early
days in show business. An English
man by birth, he learned to juggle
objects with his feet as well as his
hands when he was still youngster
in short trousers, and his father was
performing with a French circus.
The art of pedicular juggling first
developed in modern times in Japan,
where the Nippons specialized in boot
ing barrels about at great rate.
Evans learned how to keep a small
hogshead, and then ball, rolling on
the soleS of his feet, but he had no
idea of making profession Of it..
Instead, he joined what is known as
perch act" aerial pole acrobatics.
and kept at it for Is years, using his
juggling merely to round ou the num-
ber Then, about seven years ago, his
partner, caught by high wind while
giving an outdoor performance, lost
his grip on the pole, fell and broke
his neck. After the partner died
Evans never went near perch again.
He turned to juggling and concen-
trated all his ingenuity on it. After
some experimentation he rigged up
the 7-pound spheroids he now kicks
about with such ease, the 40-pound
table an equally heavy wooden cross
and an 85-pound bed. These objects
he can balance on one foot, spin about
like an electric fan, toss in the air
and catch, and handle in general as
if they were made of cardboard.
AS a matter of fact, the balls, the
cross and all are three-ply, reinforced
material. Have to be. Otherwise they
would fall apart after one brisk per-
formance.
You may have reflected that it
would be fairly tiresome to bounce
these weights about in the air four
times a day. 1t is, SO much so that
he spends all the time between shows
resting in his dressing room. In off
weeks he thinks up new tricks, is now
perfecting one wherein he keeps two
balls going in the air with his feet,
two with his hands. He can also
balance three of the spheres (21
pounds) one on top of the other,
but it is precarious business and audi
ences are disappointed if anything
slips; don't appreciate it enough if
he succeeds: When he discovered
that he cut it out of his act; only
stacks the three for his own amuse-
ment these days. R. B. P, Jr.
