WANTED TO BREAK RECORD Clung by One Hand to Steering Whet as Accident to Flying Car , Coins Ninety Mlloa an Hour , Lifted Him Ir Air on Long Island Motor Parkway. AloneIn a big 100 horsepower raclnp automobile , running ninety miles m : hour on the Long Island motor park way , Willie K. Vanderbilt , Jr. , re ccntly performed an almost iinbellev * nble feat of good driving and coo ! courage that saved him from belmj crushed to death In the most danger ous sort of accident. Ever since he has been operating high powered mnchlnes , n matter oi ton or twelve years , young Mr. Van derbllt has enjoyed a title among ex ports which the public has Foldoir heard. They call him , and mean It "the best racing driver In America. ' Various spectacular exploits of UK hnlrbrendth sort mndo his reputation Hut none of his fonts quUo equals hl latest one. Mr. Vnndcrbllt drove from his home nt Lnkevlllo to the race course , whlcl he helped to found , In his now $15,000 Renault machine. Started Out For a Record. When ho got upon the concrete snr face of the parkway , over W hlch purl of the Vanderbilt cup race of lust vcnr was run , the Idea occurred tc him to go after the record of thi course. Recently one of the profes slonnl drivers covered the twelve miles of concreted loads In eight minutes lat. The young millionaire sportsmar thought ho could beat this v\lth his now car. He sent the Renault , "under wraps , ' ono fast hip In n trifle over ton mlm utcs , taking the time by a stop wntcl : fnutened to his steering wheel. Ther ho opened up u little more nnd made a second lap In a shade above nine minutes. The thhd lap wns the OIK he really Intended to bo the record breaker. There was no other cnr on the course , nnd conditions were per fect for a wonderful speed test. With n fnst flylmr start nt Westbury Mr. Vandeiblltshov ed his gas and spaiL controls \vldo open , nnd the big ineci leaped abend with a roar of explosions It boomed across the little vvooelci bridges that curry the course over UK public highways and racketed througl the cutouts where It runs on the love' nt seventyeighty and then ninety mile * an hour , with the during driver hold Jng It steady to the center of the Iwcn ty foot road. The Renault shot past the big grand stand , skidded nround a right hand curve Into the next to the last straight awuj stretch of the twelve miles ant plunged forward toward Central pnrl away ahead of the record. It seomcd likely that Mr. Vanderbilt would covei the course in a good many second ! ) less than eight minutes , which means lrnv < cling more than ninety miles an hour. In Peril When Crank Pin Broke. But in the Central park stretch the universal joint broke. That Is the mechanism that transfers the powei from the crank shaft under the foui big cylinders to the driving shaft thai runs to the rear axle. The universal Joint In a Renault Is directly undei the little Iron seat upon which the driver sits. With tremendous force the big sice ! mechanism , released from the cranL shaft , plunged upward nnd strucl against the Iron seat. It had nlmosl the Impetus of n cannon ball. The blow Hung Mr. Vandeibllt upward nnd forward. First his breast struck agalnsl the stooilng wheel ; then he shot head first out over the car's sloping hooel. Bj w hat seemed like a miracle he managed to grub the wheel again as he shot high over It , and for an Instanl all his w eight was upon one hand , like an acrobat posing on n bar with hi' feet aloft. As his body turned and his feet struck the sloping hood he stli : clung with the one hand to the wheel Ho hnd turned almost a complete som crstiult and hadn't been shaken off. When the Joint broke , no more power , of course , was t nt to the reai wheels , so now the car was coasting The plunging of the loose shaft had half locked the wheels , too , greatly re duclng the speed. But It was still going fast enough to be death dealing. Kept His Presence of Mind. While Mr. Vanderbilt clung to the wheel , the car turned suddenly froir the center of the road to one side and began to climb a steep embankment It was ns good ns ccrtnln that If II ever got hnlfway up It would turr over upon Its side nnd perhaps burj the dilver beneath Its great bulk But he didn't lot It. With another re uinrknblo contortion ho mnungod te grasp the emergency brake. He jammed It fast and brought the big gray rucor to a stop with Its blunt nose only a few feet up the embankment One lamp was smashed , but the ex temal machine was not otherwise wiecked. Mr. Vanderbilt found that he wasu'1 nt all Injured , so he walked to the nearest telephone nnd called up f garage In Now York to send a couple of expert mechanicians out In hit Ilotchklss car. lie did not any wliai hnd happened. When the men arrlvee at the place they found him calmlj tinkering with the disabled Renault lie told them In a matter of fact waj what had caused the breakdown nne seemed more Interested In the tech nlcul filele of the situation than In th < pirt ho hnd played.

Oiegoiy and Norfolk v\oio pholny the classiest game of ball over wll nessod In the city when the Htoini tame up , following a decision of the umplie to which Giegor > objected The Gicgoiy team loft the field , lefus Ing to continue the game with llowt as umpiie , oven though the objection aolu decision was changed to suit tin vlsltois , nnd Umplio llo\\o foi felted the gnme to Noifolk , under the niles with a scoio of 9 to 0. Seven snappy innings of rapid bull had seen no man cioss the homo plnti. and Intelest was at white heat. The Intensttv of the sltuallon was In ci eased by the fact that hots estimator nt nt least $800 hung on the icsiilt ol the bnltle. And 11 wns the lacl Hint money wns pinned to the lesult , whhli made a ponceful settlement of the dls tin banco between the two teams Impos s'ble. ' Row Came nt Dramatic Moment.
