BY FRED S. HUNTER.
Dario Resta, the famous Italian
pilot, .driving his French Peugeot,
idded another victory to his long
string yesterday afternoon by winning
the annual Omaha championship 150
mile automobile derby on the East
Omaha oval in the wonderful time of
one hour, thirty-one minutes and
twenty-seven and ninety-one hun
dredths seconds, an average of 98.35
miles an hour.
Ralph De Palma, another of sunny
Italy's great drivers, captured the
fifty-mile free-for-all, which followed
the main event, in his German Mer
cedes car in thirty minutes and thirty
six and twenty-one hundredths sec
onds, an sversge of 98.06, miles an
hour.
MILTON IS SECOND.
Tommy Milton, in an American
Duesenberg, finished second in the
150-mile championship event in
1:32:03.75, a clip of 97.27 miles an
hour.. Smiling Ralph Mulford, in a
Peugeot, was third in 1:32:38.90, 97.12
miles an hour and Baby Pete Hender
son, in a Maxwell, was fourth in
1:39:19 JO, 90.65 miles sn hour, while
Mel Stringer, in s stock Mercer, was
fifth at an average of 89.32 miles an
hour.
Eddie Rickenbacher, Omaha's fa
vorite, won second place in the free-for-all
in 31:50.12.. Baby Pete Hender
son was third and Dave Lewis fourth.
One Death is Recorded.
Two accidents, one ol which proved
fatal, occurred during the course of
the race. On the sevententh lap AMo
Franchi, driving a Pusun, went
through the fence on the home stretch
and plunged into the underpinning of
the grandstand. Franchi was thrown
free from the car when i was sent
hurling through the air, but Dan
Colombo, Franchi's mechanician, suf
fered internal injuries which resulted
in his death at the Lister hospital a
few hours later.
On the seventieth lap Jack Gable
fell onto the safety apron when a tire
exploded and his car turned over.
Both Gable and his mechanician, how
ever, escaped uninjured.
Car Skids Through Fence.
The accident which resulted in the
deatli of Mechanician Columbo oc
curred on the home stretch in full
view of the entire grandstand. Just
after Franchi passed the starting wire
at a clip well over 100 miles an hour,
his car suddenly turned at right an
gles and began to skid broadside up
the track. It skidded perhaps for 100
feet and then suddenly crashes into
the fence at the top of the track and
leaped over the safety zone and up
against the underpinning of the grand
stand. Driver Escapes; Assistant Dead.
Franchi was hurled out of his seat
after the machine hit the rail. His
only injury was a mere scratch on
jne arnv The car itself wrapped it
self around a post and was almost
iemolished. Columbo was pinned un
derneath and his chest crushed so
that he suffered internal hemorrhages.
He was hurried to the Lister hospital,
where Drs. Schleier and Tamisiea
performed an operation in an effort
to stop the blood flow. The oper
ation proved futile, however, and Co
lumbo died shrtoly after 7 o clock last
light. . , , . ,
A broken steering knuckle is be
lieved to have caused the accident.
This made it impossible for Franchi
o control the car.
Spectators Get Thrills.
When the machine plunged through
the- fence timbers flew in every direc
tion. Several boards were hurled into
the grandstand, where a number of
spectators were hit, but none was
hurt. . , t ii
Other bits of the flying timbers tell
onto the track directly in the path of
the speeding machines. But the dar
ing drivers never stopped, they barely
slowed up, but ploughed their w-y
through, apparently heedless of their
own safety. Every driver on tbe track
smashed through the boards in their
path. Only the most skillful driving
and presence of mind enabled the
speed demons to hold the track when
-.lashing through the loose boards.
Gable's Escape Miraculous.
Jack Gable's escape from death was
a miracle, Jack was turning the east
curve at a fast clip when he came
down low to let a car pass him. Just
as-he did so a tire blew out and car
ried the machine all the way into the
dirt safety apron where it turned over
three times. Gable and Harry Mc
Graff, his mechanician, both ducked
under the cowl- and escaped with a
iew scratches about the face.
Gable's mishap was a real misfor
tune. He was riding in second place
at the time and fcoing better every lap.
Desperate from Very Start
That the nee was one of the most
gruelling and desperately fought ever
held in the United States was the ver
dict of every speed enthusiast who
has followed the racing game. To
show how terrific the pace was it
need only be mentioned that eleven
of the seventeen cars which started
fell out during the race because of
mechanical troubles. This is an un
usual percentage and is the direct re
sult of the savage fight for position.
The 150-mile championship classic
was a race between Dario Resta and
Ralph Mulford from start to finish.
Mulford had the pole at the start and
Resta was in the first line with him.
How They Get Away.
The first start was a false one and
Starter Fred Wagner called the par
ticipants back and made them do it
over again. At 2:41 he gave them the
flag and Resta immediately swept intoi
the lead, with Mulford right behind
him. Wilbur D'Alene was third and
Eddie Rickenbacher was fourth.
Ralph De Palma, playing the waiting
game, dropped back into the bunch,
content to let Dario and Ralph set the
pace.
Resta and Mulford continued to
race in thejfirst positions for a num
ber of laps. At twenty laps Mulford
began to speed up. He put the pedal
down hard and successfully passed
Resta. He held this position through
the fiftieth lap. At this position Rick
enbacher' was third, Tommy Milton
fourth and Ralp De Palma fifth. The
intense heat was playing havoc with
tires and many changes were made,
with resulting changes iu position.
Mulford Has Tire Trouble.
Shortly before the 100-mile mark
was attained Mulford began to rumble
into the pits to change tires. He was
forced to make several changes. This
trave Resta' his opportunity and he
swung into the lead and was never
headed. At 1UU miles, witn esta lead
ing, the time'was 101 miles an hour.
After this point, however, Resta
gained a good lead and he slowed up,
so that his total average was ninety
eight miles an hour.
Resta did not make a .tire change
through the entire race. His Silver
towns held like steel and Dario w.ent
from flag to flag without a stop. This
fortune is what earned him the vic
tory. Mulford had to make four stops
at the pits. -
Rick Victim of Fate.
Eddie Rickenbacher waas the real
victim of fate, though. Eddie rode in
third position almost from the start
to the seventy-sixth lap in good style.
He was right behind Resta and Alul
ford and by, wonderful driving he
was more than holding his slower car
in pace with the faster French ma
chines. The wise ones gave him an
even chance to beat both Dario and
Ralph out of first money.
But, as luck would have it, some
one-sheet hand bills for advertising
purposes were distributed among the
grandstand crowd, which negligently
permitted the bills to float out before
the breeze onto the track. One of the
bills caught on Rick's radiator and
stopped the air circulation with the
result that Eddie quickly burned up
and was forced out of the race.
Dave Lewis First Out.
Dave Lewis was the first unfort
unate pilot to drop out. On the fifth
lap Davve broke a valve and had to
pull up. From then on the cars be
gan to drop oiit frequently.
Franchi was the next man out,
when he suffered the accident on the
seventeenth lap. Hughie Hughes,
Franchi's teammate, in a Delage,
went out four laps- later and Billy
Chandler, captain of the Crawford
team, broke a valve on the twenty
second lap.
Wilbur D'Alene, one of the favor
ites, was the next man out. A brok
en valve ended D'Alene's chances on
the thirtieth lap.
The third of the Crawford cars,
Art Johnson's steed, was forced out
on the sixty-third lap, and Jack Gable
went out on the seventieth when he
turned over.
These Went Long Way.
Eddie RTckenbacher burned up on
the seventy-sixth lap and Ira Vail
gave up on the seventy-eighth. Ira
had a bunch of trouble before he fi
nally drew up. He made seven stops
at the pits to change tires and one
time his machine caught on fire.
Ralph De Palma fell by the wayside
on the eighty-eighth lap and Art
Klein blew up just before the finish
of the race.
Ralph De Palma had easy sailing in
the fifty-mile race. Only eight cars
were able to take part in this event.
The eight who started were De Pal
ma, Eddie Rickenbacher, Baby Pete
Henderson, Tommy Milton, Mel
Stringer, Ed Rawlings and Ralph
Mulford,. Mulford driving a Hudson
instead of the Peugeot.
Winning the Fifty-Mile.
De Palma grabbed the lead at the
start of the short classic and never
was headed. Eddie Rickenbacher
fell into second position at the start
and he also continued home in this
place. Baby Pete Henderson cap
tured third place after a desperate
battle for honors with Dave Lewis.
Rickenbacher and , Lewis succeed
ed in getting into the short race after
working over an hour on their mo-
I J
DARIO RESTA.
tors after they were forced out of
the first event. They made all their
repairs right on the track in front of
the pits.
Baby Pete Henderson, the cutest
little driver in captivity, was the only
driver to win money in both races.
Baby Pete was fourth in the 150-mile
event and third in the fifty. He drove
two nice races, did Baby Pete, play
ing the safe and sane game of riding
easily at a steady pace. He didn't try
to race everybody else off the track
and he was the gainer thereby.

ROURKE RALLIES FALL SHY
After six innings of pretty base
ball, featured by a pitching duel be
tween Russell Ford of Denver and
Freddie Biuck for the Rourkes, yes
terday's game developed into a wild
slugging match in the seventh, and
the Rourkes were trimmed, li to 10.
Denver used three twirlers and the
Rourkes a pair. Bruck, who started
for the locals, was the victim of two
fatal errors, both of which gave the
Mountaineers a chance to score runs
in batches.
Both Ford snd Bruck weakened in
the seventh, the intense heat of the
afternoon probably having something
to do with their failure to keep up
their gait. Bruck, however, wabbled
the most, and seven runs were jabbed
through by the Denver crew in the
fatal inning.
After the Rourkes had retired tw.
men in the first inning, Marty Krug
booted Oakes' grounder, and Cole
doubled to left, putting Oakes on
third. Dyer drove both runners home
with a triple, but was stranded when
Shields flied out to Smith.
The Rourkes came right bsck and -took
the lead in the second. Krueger
singled, took second when Ford un
corked a wild pitch, and went to third
on a balk. Krueger was safe at the
plate and Forsythe reached first on
his grounder to Shields, who couldn't
quite cut off the run. Kilduff sacri
ficed, and Burg singled to right, scor
ing Forsythe. Bruck Sacrificed Burg
to second, from where he scored on
Smith's single to center. ,
That ended the scoring for both
sides until the seventh, when the
wootiness began. . . . ,
Then It Happened.
Shields started things 'with an in
nocent single to center, Davy Lloyd
popped out to Manager Marty. Shea
talc forced Shields at second, and two
were down with a man on first. Ford
smashed the ball to left for a double,
putting Shields oh third. Miller's
Texas leaguer put Shestak over the
plate with the tying run. Kelleher
then popped one over . the infield,
which Cy Forsythe caught all right,
but didn't hold. That permitted Ford ,
to score, and stsrted the real grief.
Oakes and Cole singled, Dyer tripled,
and Shields, coming up for his second
time of the inning, made his second
hit of the frame, these swats making
the total' for the inning seven runs.'
Shields finally was Caught stealing,
ending the trouble. . ;
Marshall opened the seventh for ths
Rourkes with a double, batting for
Bruck. - Smith beat out a hot drive ;
to Dyer, and Krug walked. Ford was
jerked ' and Harrington, walked
Thompson, forcing home a run. Miller
fanned, and Smith scored when
Krueger forced Thompson at second.
Forsythe grounded s slow one to
Lloyd, which collided with Krueger,
automatically, retiring him.
; . Plenty of Action. '
Denver picked up two in the eighth,
three bases on balls, a hit batter and
a sacrifice fly doins; the job. The
Rourkes countered with three in their
half, on a pair of walks granted by
Harrington, Krug's double and J.
Thompson's single. Denver only took
one in their half of the -ninth, on
Shields' double, a passed ball and an
out.' .' ' .' ! ,
The Rourkes had a chance to over
come the four-run lead in the ninth,
but fell just a bit short. Krueger got
a single to open festivities, and For
sythe walked. Kilduff forced For
sythe at second, Krueger . reaching
third. Harrington was jerked, Man
ser going in. He walked Burg, filling
the sacks, and then walked. Krause,
forcing Krueger to score. Kilduff
scored on Smith's out to Shields, but
with Burg on third and Krause on
second Krug hit an easy one to Man
ser, who easily retired him at first,
ending the game.
This afternoon Denver is in line
again, with Marty O'Toole due to
pitch.
