In the American Automobile Association has

cars would be entered through the Automobile
Club Of Philadelphia. Mr.. Thompson In
formed them that their entries could not be
accepted as representatives Of the Auto
mobile Club Of Phlladelphis on account OF the

the clause on the entry blank which reads as
follows: Competition for this cup shall be
open only TO clubs that are recognized by or
af1lieted with the American Automobile
Association. and to clubs recognized by or
affliated with the Autom obile Club Of France,
the Automobile Club Of Germany. the Auto
mobile Club Of Italy and the Automobile
Gu Of Great Britain and Ireland which

zation. who declared he would protest to the
board Of directors Of the A.. A. A., and II he
could get no satisfaction from them he would
