Second place went to James Haiz- |lip, St. Louis, who averaged 199.80 miles an hour in his Travelair mys- tery ship. Third honors were won by Ben O.

Y., Sept. 2 (&) — Three gunmen burdened down with 30,000 nickels as part of a $12,000 loot from Playland Park at Rye Beach were being sought by police today. Armed with sawed off shot guns they invaded the administration building at dawn yesterday, cowed a patrolman, locked him in a cell, rob- bed the cashier and then in depart- ing came upon another policeman and locked him up with his fellow officer. They then sped away in an automobile. Patrolman Patrick Brudder was standing in the doorway of the sta- tion, located in the administration | building, when the men drew up in their car. At the point of a gun they forced him to enter a cell which they locked and one of them mounted guard to insure silence. While another of the trio stood guard at the automobile, the third | entered the cashier's office. \u!or‘ Sturgeon, the cashier, was forced to lie on the floor while the holdup man bound him hand and foot with stout cord.
