INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Oct. 12
(APy The aco'dent In which
Harry Hartz, a Los Angeles auto
mobile racer, ( was in lured today
when he was attempting to pass
Frank Lockhart In the Columbus
Day sweepstakes race tt Salem,
N. H., was Hartz' first mishap in
a speedway event. He has been
prominent n the f port lnce 1922.
The Cal'fomlsn is known as i
fearless b-itf autj driver. He
was A. A. A. driving champion
la-.t year, when he won $71,700 i"n
cash and meny trophies. Hartz
made Ms rt'hiit as a driver in
li2. f'nls .j--: second in the 500
r"'le lace. il. duplicated the feat
'23 and 192. He has par
ticipated in six speedway events
here, finishing fourth fn the 19 24
and 19 25 races. Hartz was forced
out of the running early in the
500 raile race this year, the only
time he failed to finish.
Hartz was married shortly aftr
the 1926 speedway race at the
Indianapolis motor speedway. He
started'his racing career in 1919
as mechanic for Edde Hearne,
veteran driver bnt began driving
for himself in 1921. He holds the
300 mile record made at Atlantic
City. May 1. 1926. at 134.091
miles an hour.

not issued his "I do" not choose"
message?
