JAS R. BACH WAS HURT

THROWN OUT OF HIS CUTTER TWICE YESTERDAY.

He Was Not Seriously Injured But Was Dragged Some Distance on S. University Ave.

As a number of Ann Arbor gentlemen who are possessed of the notion that they are the owners of fast horses were trying to prove their claims to the satisfaction of each other on S. University ave., Tuesday afternoon, Jas. R. Bach was thrown from his cutter, but "Jim's" keen enjoyment of the sport was not to be marred by a little circumstance like that and grasping the situation and the reins without a second's hesitation, like a true sportsman, he deputized himself as an impromptu toboggan and slipped down the line three blocks neck and neck with his own cutter but ahead of everything else. After having successfully readjusted matters and secured a new driver, Mr. Bach started home but "Douglas R" having created one first class sensation wanted to reach out after fresh glories and succeeded in upsetting the cutter again and detaching the shafts from it when he was ruled out and led back to the stable while his owner went home in a hack. Mr. Bach was severely bruised about his back and hips but hopes to be out again in a day or so.
