JIMMY MURPHY KIIJ-Kl»
an enn neath to
' Syracuse. N. Y.
Syracuse, Sept. 15.—Jimmy Murphy,
of Vernon, Calif., favored to win the na
tional racing championship of the Ameri
can Automobile Association for 1924 and
veteran of many an automobile speed
classic, both in- this country apd abroad,
met his deatli on the state fair grqpr.ds
track here this afternoon when his car
crashed through a wooden fence on a
curve during the 138th lap of the 150-
niilt race.
Murphy survived the accident only u
few minutes, long enough tp_ be taken
to a hospital in this city, six miles away,
but he never regained consciousness. He
was the only victim of «the accident,
which happened on the inside cf the
track.
Splinters of wood from the wrecked
fence and debris from Murphy’s car,
were cleared awqy by state troopers just
in time for the leaders in the race to
tbur.der by.
The race was won by Phil Shafer one
houh, 54 minutes and 25.20 seconds.
Bennett Hill, teammate of Murphy,
flashed over the line second in one hour,
57 minutes and 20.81 seconds. Harry
Hartz, substituting for' his teammate.
Fred Comer, caine in third iw two hours
and nine seconds.
It was an attempt to lap his teammate
and pass Shafer, that Murphy pushed
his cad into a final burst of spec! He
roared down the straightaway past the
grandstands at approximately 80 ihiles an
hour. At the turn which would have
brought him into the back stretch, he
seemed unable to straighten the car out,
and the 2,000 bleaeher occupants were
horrified to see him clip the inside fence
once, then rapidly skid around and
strike it again, and finally, on a com
plete third swing, crash into the railing
and carry it before him for nearly a
hundred feet. The car did not overturn
but In its progress sideways it picked
jjp the fence rails so that they penetrat
ed the hood and the body of the vehicle.
The end of one of these wooden splinters
struck Murphy in the chest.

COTTON DECLINES TWO
CENTS IN ONE WEEK
An Abundant Supply of O**»- — ~
dieted for the Coming \ stntC W®*
New Orleans. La., Sept. US
feature of last week, in the Lrrttrn mar
ket was the government report giving
> the condition and indicated crop based
Ijon the reports made up September Ist.
(A condition average of 59.3 per cent, of
! j normal and an indicated yield of 12,-
787,000 bales were not very different
| from general expectations, but the indi
cated yield at least confirmed the grow
ing belief in an abundant supply of cot
ton for the present season and started
a volume of selling which caused a de
cline of two cents a pound or 200 points
for the week.
While the government gave/ the first
downward impetus to prices, the decline
was kept up by a lower spot basis in
southern markets, a falling off in the
j demand for the actual and an increased
j volume of hedge selling entirely in keep
• ing with the greatly increased move
ment of the crop to market. Finally
the rather general and heavy rains in
, Texas on Friday gave the final impetus
■ to the decline On the idea that the rains
might lower the grade of cotton they
I would probably increase the yield by re
. invigorating the. plants and enabling
, much late cotton to mature.
I As a result of this combination of
bullish developments, the market made
four successive low levels for the season.
I and although there was some show 4 of
> rallying on Saturday it was not sutained
! and the week closed not much above the
| low point readied during the period. The
■ Saturday rally was based on the eontinu-
I ation of the Texas rains which aroused
fears that now that the long drought has
been broken there may be too much rain
l which would interfere with the rapid
j harvesting and marketing of the erop.
| One of the bearish developments of
i the last part of the Week Was the issue
of the government "‘pars'’ to be used in
connection with the next forecast of the
crop based on the condition averages to
be found on September 16th. The “pars”
have again been raised in comparison
with those used for the forecast of Sep
tember Ist, thus making it possible for
the maintenance of the last crop indica
tion even though the condition average
should be appreciably lowered.
