Those who went from Milford to
wilmington last Monday to attend
the circus and enjoy a days outing
IN automobiles, wound up the trip
about l a. m, Tuesday, after being
six and seven hours enroute home.
The cause was the wind storm
which passed over the upper part
OF the state that evening. Trees and
telephone poles were blown across
the road in several places, which
had to be cut away before the autos
could get through, and the roads
were slippery and dangerous to
run over in upper Kent county.

the spot. Two bungalows have
been built within the past year,

about them in the Chronicle. Mr..
Vaughan was down in April and
found this out. Just the printed
name Haven Lake looks good to
me. When I get hOmesick for dear

|Hepburn's Auto Crash Death
|27st on Indianapolis Track
ey the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, May 17.-Ralph
Hepburn, crippled and SCARED by
80 years of automobile and motor
cycle racing, pushed his luck too far.
The 51year-old Van Nuys (Calif)
driver was killed yesterday at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He
was practicing for his 10th attempt
to win the annual 500-mile Memo
rial Day race.
Hepburn smashed into the con-
crete retaining wall with the Novi
Special he had driven faster than
any other car that ever roared
around the 21a mile track.
Most of the estimated crowd of
10 900 could not see what happened
because of infield trees. But Luigi
Cinetti of Milan, Italy. only foreign
driver at the track, said Hepburn'S
car wavered, hit the inf1eld dirt,
and then swerved back across the
track.
Hepburn was the 2lst driver
killed at the track since 1910. In
Guiding mechanics and spectators,
80 persons have lost their lives at
the brick and asphalt oval. Most
of the fatalities were in the early
years of the race. Three straight
races and qualification periods had
been run of without casualties when
Driver William (Shorty) Canton
was killed in the 1916 race.
Lou WEIGH of Novi, Mich, owner
Of the Hepburn car said no at
tempt would be made to repair it
for this years race, next Monday,
but Duke Nalon, another speedway
veteran from Los Angeles, will at
tempt to qualify q twin car built
for the 1947 race.
Hepburn started racing on mo-
torcycles and held dozens of track
records in the United States and
Australia. His two-wheel racing
ended after his left leg was crushed
in an Armistice Day auto race at
Oakland Calf, in 1882. The ac-
cident left his knee stiff.
Hepburn never won the $780,"
but his second-place finish to Will
bur Shaw in 1897 was the closest
in Speedway history. He was only
216 seconds behind Shaw, whose
speed Of 1883 was the fastest up
to that time.
Action was limited yesterday after
Hepburn's accident and the crowd
saw only one car qualify in addition

Second Bout With Jack
Tonight Gives Janiro
Chance 10 Regain Top

Tony Janiro's chance to climb to
the top of the boxing heap again
comes tonight at Griff1th Stadium
when he fights Beau Jack, former
lightweight champ. 1t was a techni-
cal kayo victory over Jack In Madi-
son Square Garden last year that
shot Tony to the front, a position
he gave up with losses to Jake
La Motta and Tavern Roach. He
had a number Of fair wins IN be-
tween those losses, but needs an
other triumph over Jack to put him
in the heavy sugar once more.
| A busted kneecap was the i'm
mediate cause of Jack losing the
last Janiro fight, although Janiro
was ahead on points when 1t hap
pened. Jack has had seven nights
since and his patched-up knee has
withstood the test. He lost close
one to Terry Young, but otherwise
has knocked out Johnny Bratton
and decisioned Johnny Greco,
Frankie Vigeant and a number OF
others. He's shown enough on his
CUIUCDdCA tOu1 W AAloAC Ah4A4a Ao'SAAVS
for tonight.
The bout figures to be a good
one. Jack is rough, busy fighter
who features the .bolo punch, while
Janiro is a Fancy-Dan boxer. This
Is Janiro's first fight here, but IN
workouts at Liberty A. c. he showed
a very fast left hook and right cross
as his main weapons. Jack has
fought twice in Washington, chilli
ing Sammy Angott and decisioning
Danny Kapilow.
Janiro generally fights among the
middleweights, but must come In
at 149 pounds for tonight.
Four six-rounders, the first going
on at $3.50 pm, round out the show.
Mayhem Smith, Janiros stablemate,
meets Bobby Copeland, weater-
weight; Johnny Arduini takes on
Lew Yonkers, flyweight; Bobby
Bell tangles with Bernie Peters,
featherweight, and Joe Cannon goes
against Julian Keen, middleweight.
