Sept. 16.—Jimmy Murphy, the most reckless automobile race driver in the world and the champion of his wild profession, took one chance too many during the running of the annual 150 mile race at the state fair grounds track Monday afternoon. State troopers picked Jimmy out of a ditch several feet from where his little bullet of a car lay on its back with its wheels still spinning in the air and removed a big splinter of a two by four bean from his body. They lifted him into an ambulance and Jimmy started on his last reckless ride, bound for the hospital, this time as a passenger. But when the ambulance drew up at the door he was dead the third winner of the famous 500-mile Indianapolis speedway race to die on a racing smashup within the last two weeks. Jimmy, a Los Angeles boy, went out in a race that was just a jaunt compared to some of the big events in which he had driven his hurtling ■steel comets. He was only making about 80 miles an hour at the moment, pursuing “Red” Shafer, of Fort Worth, Tex. who was crowding his big Duesenberg along in first place, about two laps ahead of Murphy, who held second position. On the one hundred and thirtyfirst lap. Murphy, the champion, the man whose daring even made other drivers gasp in amazement, set out after Shafer to close up the gap. Rounding the far turn, he did not reduce his speed: In an instant the stern of the machine skidded to the left, splintered the little guardfence, plunged through and rolled into the ditch. A wooden beam penetrated the metai of the hood. Jimmy was pitched out and landed in the ditch among the splinters, one of which im paled him. Shafer held his head after the smashup and won the 150-mile drive. Bennet Hill, of Los Angeles, was second and Harry Hartz was third. It was in the 500-miler at Altoona in which Joe Boyer, of Chicago, was killed, Boyer had won the Indianapolis race in 1919. Dario Resta, who won it in 1910, was killed in a race in England, the day after Boyer’s death. 0 The Fourth Down By Willie Punt J/"™ high of Lafayette started the fireworks off last Saturduav with an 84 to 0 victory over Otterbein.

Frank Chance, who will go down in baseball's history as a member of the famous “Tinker to Evers to Chance” trio, succumbed to a heart disease last night. Chance had been suffering from asthma for several months and was forced to relinquish leadership of the Chicago White Sox this year and return to his home here. Managership of the Sox was turned over to Johnny Evers, his former playing mate with the Cubs. The “peerless leader” sprang into fame as first baseman and manager of the Chicago Cubs when that organization was the dominating team of the National eague. He led his team to National league victories in 1906. 1907. 1908 and 1910. In 1906, 1907 and 1908 the Cubs won the i world's championship. Then Chance 1
