Witnesses said Bible probably slammed on his brakes and at tempted to swing the machine back back into control but in do ing so turned the steering wheel ioo far. The machine went out of control, spun around twice on the beach and turned over. It bounced high into the air, going into a bar rel roll and emashied into the dunes with a terrific Impact. Traub, who was standing on the beach taking pictures of the race, tterapted to get out of the way, j ut the car was traveling too fast.

Tne steering wneei was broken and the hood and cowling was stripped from the machine. Bible Inexperienced Bible never had driven a race ear, except at a few small dirt tracks in Florida and the middle west and had staked his life on the opportunity to. make a name for himself. When White brought the ear here last year, he stored It in Bi ble's garage and turned the ma jority of the mechanical work on it over to him. After Ray Keech of Philadel phia, drove the Triplex to a rec ord of 207 miles an hour at that time, Bible felt the urge to again return to the racing game, .and asked White to let him drive the ear this year. White said be had taken a par ticular liking to Bible, and be cause or. tne war tne mecnanic had done on the car, decided to let him drive It this year ln "re payment of all the things he did for me." Applies With A. A. A. When the opportunity present ed itself to Bible, he made appli cation for membership into the A. A. A. so that should he break the record, It jrould be officially recognized. Officials of the -organ ization, however, held up the ap plication until after he could make several test runs to prove his competence as a driver of such high speed car. Bible made two test runs in bad weather yesterday, attaining speed of ISO miles an hour. When he brought the machine on to the beach today, he sent It roar ing south over the course on a preliminary trial at a speed of 180 miles an hour. Tully Speaker At Leslie Meet The Rev. Norman K.
