The Kansas City Post followed the Evans-versus-Baldwin contest with breathless dedication. On the day after it reported the buildup to the race, it highlighted an impressive number of wrecks - Evans' biplane among them.
Photo 1, on the left corner, shows “The Greene biplane which was wrecked by a 50-foot fall. Evans, the young aviator, escaped injury.” The other photos document a wrecked Apperson motor car that crashed in a race earlier that day.
