Joe Dawson, during a Marion, finished 25 seconds after Grant and one minute and six seconds ahead of John Aitken in a National. Grant captured the race last year in a car of the same make. The winner’s time for the 278.08 miles was 4 hours, 15 • j 58 co------- ’ - 1-5 miles an hour a minutes and seconds, an average of - 65 HOW A VW Ä v*i *■. « un — -1 new American record. The race was marked by fatalities second only to the Paris- Madrid race. Harold Stone, of Los Angeles, driver of a Colum bia, was probably fatally hurt soon after the race started, and his mechanician, Mathew Bacon, killed. Charles Miller, me chanician for the Marquette Buick, driven by Louis Chevrolet, was killed in a collision with a touring car on the road. Ferdi nand D. Zubia, of New York, manager of the Pope-Hartford Company,was killed in a smash-up while on his way to the race. Henry Haggerdorn, a clerk employed by a local automobile firm, who was watching the race, was killed by Joe Dawson s car. •* The number of accidents short of fatalities ran into scores. From a sporting point the race was a thriller, and will go down into the annals as the most hotly contested race ever held on the open roads. Judged by its toll in killed and maimed, however, the race was a revolting spectacle, and is severely ar raigned for the manner in which it was conducted. ♦ Morning Herald und th« Times aux- ♦. lllary plant. ♦ General Otis waa absent from the ♦ ¡city wh«n the newspaper was deslroy- ♦ f "I thia morning, and Is on hla way ♦ back to Loe Angele* from the city of ♦ I .Mexico, whore he went some wceka Rocheater.
