HEAGY TAKES ALL
MOTORCYCLE RACES
Makes Clean Sweep of Profession
al Events—Reading Rider
Crushed Against Fence
ftay Heagy, Harrisburg's daredevil
motorcyclist, besides winning all pro
fessional events, broke all of the track
records made in the races a month
ago, at the races of the Keystone Mo
tor Club of this place on the Middle
town fair track Saturday. Only one
accident happened. Harry Becker, of
Heading, lost control of his Indian and
was hurled against the fence. His
right arm and left leg were broken.
He was knocked unconscious. The in
jured motorcyclist was taken to the
Harrisburg Hospital at once and his
condition is somewhat improved.
Backer was trying to lower the
track record for a mile which was set
at one minute eighteen seconds. Beck
er got away well and went well till
Just after finishing the half mile. Then
his machine wobbled and he plough
ed through the dirt. A cloud of dust
obscured the view of the spectators,
but when rescuers pulled Becker from
his wrecked machine they saw that it
'had taken off one post with a clean
cut through the bottom, and that the
second post stopped the rider.
When Becker crashed into the fence
the big crowd thrilled, and Mrs. L. G.
King, wife of one of the racers, fainted
when Becker crashed into the fence.

broke the record by going it in 1.16;

Murray May Desert the
Giants For Federals
JACK MURRAY
The great throwing right fielder of
the New York Giants, who U now re
ported to be hobnobbing with magnates
of the Federal League. The rumor that
"Red' is contemplating a Jump to the
Federal league has caused considerable
gloom among his admirers in New York,
as Murray is considered a most valu
able man, being a dangerous batter and
an unusually fast man on the bases.
His great throwing arm, which bas cut
down more runners at the plate than
that of any other outfielder in the busi
ness, is Murray's biggest asset.
