It begins to look like Scherer Bros,
a-e rcing to have to recruit a new
crow. In fact this is certain, unless
their line of hard luck in the way
accidents comes to a very sudden
stop. On Thursday, Tom Parks, one
of their drivers was hurt when the
truck he was driving collided with
an auto. Parks, though not seriously
hurt, was put out of commission for
the time being.
Put this accident was not to end
the trouble, for on Friday, Lawrence
Edwards, another of their drivers
was kicked on the wrist by a Ford
when he started to crank it and had
the big bone in his wrist broken. So
be, too, went out of commission.
Now is the third time the charm?
Well, we’ll see what we’ll see. Today
John Scherer stuck a nail in his foot.
If thoro is to be another accident, it
is hard to guess just what particular
brand of accident it will be.
