Victory Disputed By Albert Clement, q

New York (SpeciaD.-Geo. Heath
an American, driving oo-horsepower
Panhard car and representing the Au-
tomobile Club of France, was declare i
the winner of the William K. Van
derbilt, Jr., cup in the international
road race held on Long Island under
the auspices of the Automobile Club
of America.
He won by the narrow margin oi
I minute and 2S seconds, covering the
2S4 miles from which the time was
taken in hours and 20 minutes and
IS seconds. Albert Clement. a
Frenchman, who covered the distance
in hours and 2S minutes and I3 sec
onds in an So-horsepower Clement
Bayard car, entered protest against
Heath being declared the winner on
the ground that his time had not been
taken according to the conditions
which were to govern the race.
After the protest had been received
the decision declaring Heath the win
ner was withdrawn. A final decision
will be reached after the protest has
been formally presented to the Auto
mobile Association of America at a
special meeting at the Garden City
Hotel Long Island, which has been
called for the purpose. There is
scarcely any prospect that Heath will
be denied his laurels.
Clement declares that he was held
up in Hampstead a minute and a half
while making repairs to his gasoline
tank. This time, under the rules gov
ernng the contest, he says, should
have been deducted from his actual
time Clement also says there are
several other things which he intends
to bring before the association at the
meeting.
H. H. Lytle. in a Pope-Toledo car,
was third.
1t was estimated that at least Ioo,-
600 persons witnessed the race.
The contest cost one life and at
least four persons were injured. The
fatal accident occurred to the car OF
George Arcnts. Jr., wealthy New
l orker, and the man killed was Carl
Menzel, his machinist.
Arents' car was No. 5 and he was
driving at a tremendous speed when,
just as he approached sharp curve
on the Hampstead road, a front tire
slipped and the great 6o-horsrpower
machine went over Both Arents and
Menzel were hurled with tremendous
force to the roadway. They were
picked up unconscious and hurried to
a hospital, where Menzel died in a
short time.
Mr.. Arents is in a critical condition.
Gabriel, the noted French driver,
who was looked upon as a likely win
ner, was well in the lead in the first
three laps, but he was gradually over
hauled and passed. In the seventh
lap, when he broke crank shaft, he
dropped out of the race.
The showing made by the Amer-
cans in the race was a revelation to
many. 1t was expected that Frank
Croker, in his own 75-horsepower Sim
plex, would be well up among the
leaders at the finish, barring accident,
but his machine broke down.
