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.

"will ride with Toft Sunday.
Many of the best drivers in the
United States .will bo gathered at Ta

LA GRANDE TO BE HOST
VISITORS TO ' MOTORCYCLE RACIfS
TO BE ROYALLY EXTERTAIXEU.
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. For two hours
pavement dances, truly Madri Gras in
nature, will occupy attention.
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.

parture forced him to spend extra
money hiring new umpires. This is
his excuse for holding out on Bush.

back in Its salary payments at the
time Bush threw up the ghost.
