The in Diaries
Just before a crowd of 7,000 men and women, a tire blew, lunging Joe Cooper's car around the rail. Cooper was killed and his mechanic was wounded. Later on though rounding a curb, a wheel of Billy Chandler's Duesenberg failed, cartwheeling the vehicle in to the infield and fatally injuring his mechanic, Maurice Keeler. Chandler was seriously hurt.[
