TIIE 3IORXING OnEGOIAy THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1916. 13 TOFT BACK 111 GAME DESPITE ACCIDENT Omar Special Remade Since Los Angeles Crash and Ready for Great Run. CAR HAS FINE RECORDS Former Mechanic, in Hospital for Months Following Crash, Writes to Ask He Be Permited to Ride In Tacoma Races. r ' BT HARRY M. GRAYSON. ' When Omar Toft, the Los Angeles tpeed king-, smashed up his car. the Omar Special, by tearing down 175 Mt of fence at Ascot Park. Los Ange les, on the afternoon of March 4. he Knocked his own ambition and tnat oi his mechanic, Arthur S. Kincaid, dead as a doornail. The ambition of this Jair of speed maniacs was to start in the races at nui' head Bay and Minn eapolis, which were run off in May. The accident made thousands of dol lars for the Ascot Park management. The big races were run off the next x ' day ana as me ima hap came in a tun- " ing-up heat. the ' " , - newsoapers were is,, ' i full of freak pho t&sLS tographs of the Omar Toft. smashup the next morning. It is es timated that 35,000 persons, the largest crowd that ever attended a race meet in Los Angeles, saw the performances the next day. Teddy Tetzlaff, the late Bob Burman, Kddie Puilen, Huehie Hughes and Earl Cooper wero all warming up their ma chines that Saturday afternoon. Every one was cutting loose except Toft. The Los Angeles man and Mechanician Kin--iid were about to leave the track for homo when the latter suggested that they spin around fast just once in an endeavor to show up the rest of the lunch. Both Injured In Crash. The customary one time around was taken to get a flying start. The Omar Hew down the home stretch terrifically and coming out of the first turn blew a tire, which caused the car to swerve into the fence. Kincaid broke both Jegs In two places and just got out of the hospital the other day. Toft was seriously injured and cut about the body. How enthusiastic an auto racer be comes is evident in the fact that only yesterday afternoon Toft received letter from his old mechanic asking If he could ride in the Omar Special at Tacoma August 5. Toft at once answered and told Kincaid that he certainly could. Toft started driving racing cars in Berlin, Germany, seven years ago. He is 28 years old and was born in St. Louis. Mo. Toft and Kincaid. who is a Seattle, Wash., boy, built the Omar Special in Minneapolis last Winter only to smash it the day before it was scheduled to make its first start. The car has been all fixed up and, is at present in fine shape. The Omar Special contains a Dusen berg 16-valve motor. Car Take Many Prizes. The last part of March it took fourth money in the 300-mile event at Corona, Cal, ana in the April meet at Ascot Park took third money in the 150-mile event. Six weeks ago at Bakersfield, Cal.. Hughie Hughes drove the car and took first money in a 100-mile race. Toft took second coin in the EO-mile ievent at Spokane Independence day. Jim Foley, a local speed enthusiast, "will ride with Toft Sunday. Many of the best drivers in the United States .will bo gathered at Ta coma August: 6, among them being Dario Resto, Ralph Do Palma and Ttickenbacher. and Tcft believes that he V'ill have a golden opportunity at that time to get in the running and gain prominence over the entire country.

Boxing Bond, Street Parade, Speed Events and Street Carnival to Be Features for July 20-22. . LA GRANDE. Or., July IS. (Spe cial.) Ambitious plans to entertain in royal style those who attend the La Grande Motorclub's annual Far Western motorcycle championship races, July 20-22. are under way. The first function will be Thursday night, when motorciub members will entertain the visiting riders. The programme calls for six boxing events, in which Vic Berger. a heavyweight with more or less favorable Northwest fame, boxes local comers, and Bobby Lyman, a re tired bantam, who lives here, takes on three and then gives a rope-skipping and shadow-boxing exhibition. This will-be followed by a dinner. Friday night the Moose lodge will be host, featuring Berger against Ray JlcLarrolL, a iiutte heavyweight. Thursday morning merchants of La Grande will take hold of the enter tainment. A decorated automobile pa rade with approximately 200 cars will begin at 10 o'clock. Prizes are offered for the best cars. At 2:30 the first day's racing programme begins on the hew mile and a half oval, east of La Grande. The track was built this year and permanently locates the motor cycle races at that point. In years past the club attempted overland races to Baker and return and then on a high way rectangle. All were found un desirable because spectators saw little or the racers; now they see it all. The feature race of Saturday is the 50 mile enent for the Northwestern champ ionship. On Sunday the feature race will be the Far Western championship event. Saturday night merchants will un cork fun and frivolity again. Red fire announcements that the fun is on will be made at 9 P. M.

The list of riders already here was augmented today with the arrival of Jrwin Janice, winner of the world's championship at Dodge City recently ana Otto Walker, both Milwaukee rid ers, who will represent the Harley fac tory here.

Unless the lnjurv to Frank Gotch'a leg was magnified by the dispatches, there'll be no Stecher-Gotch wrestling tilt this FalL Perhaps it is all for the best. Until he let Lewis stick wrth him for several hours in a draw tangle. there was a growing sentiment that Stecher could become undisputed-champion of the universe by meeting Gotch. That match sort of " evened things up in the public's miner, no doubt, just as the promoters had hoped it would, and it is thus doubly unfortunate that Gotch should suffer a fractured leg and spill the limas. to use the vernacular. ootca s accident leaves btecher su preme among the mat sect for another few. months. Baseball is full of' freaks, as wit ness this sample: A few weeks ago Cleveland secured waivers on south paw Willie Mitchell, and ordered him to report to Portland.

The dealings between Garnet Bush, umpire, and the Northwestern League are somewhat clouded. rtlll. If the admission of President Blewett that the league really owes Bush $1CS Is true, it is likely Bush will get the money if he refers his dispute to the National board. President Blewett's contention is that Bush's sudden de parture forced him to spend extra money hiring new umpires. This is his excuse for holding out on Bush.
