WAGNER WINS
AUTO RACE.
SAVANNAH AUTO RACE WON BY
WAGNER MAKING ROAD RECORD
65.55 MILE6 AN HOUR.

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 27.-The 120
horsepower of Flat car, sent plung-
ing through changing fog and Sunshine
over 402 miles Of lilac oiled roadways
by the experienced hands of Louis
Wagner, yesterday won the most spec
tacular, the longest and the fastest
international automobile race ever
held in this country.
The three drivers who clung togeth-
er from the very start were shuffled
about like so many cards. For time
there was fourth figure in the lead
ing column until a caprice of fortune
sent one pitching from the road.
Out OF the mass of wreckage Fritz
Erie, who had been driving the Ger
man Benz No. 10, was taken with q
broken nose and broken jaw.
1t was not until the last minute of
the last lap that the tide of victory
turned to Wagner Nazzaro, the won
derful Italian driver, holder of worlds
records and winner of countless con-
tests, who had clung tenaciously to a
narrow margin of lead for more than
a hundred miles, hesitated too long at
the supply pits to change a weaken
ing tire and lost. The treacherous
rubber tubing burst as he was about
to enter the home stretch and the
three minutes of delay sent the Grand
Prix winner of last year and his Fiat
No. 6 from first to third position.
Hemery, in German Benz No. 8,
took second honors. 1t was not until
the official time was announced that
the actual winner was known-that
Wagner had hurled himself to victo-
ry by the slender margin of Sc sec
onds
Hemery was the first to finish the
sixteen laps of the race, and enthusi-
astic thousands hailed him as a win
ner without heed of the six minutes
grace which Wagner held, Hemery
being sent away at the start at 1852
this morning, and Wagner not getting
the word to go until 9:5S
