DRIVER ESCAPES
DISQUALIFICATION
Fred j. Wiseman Not Barred
for Driving in INSANE
toned Events

The motor car enthusiast of San
Francisco is having a quiet smile at
the expense of Chairman Hover of
the contest committee of the American
Automobile association. The local
automobile organizations have been
importuned TO take out contest sane
tons for the events held this season
by the Official representative of the
American Automobile association
Where no direct statement has been
made on the point the opinion has
gained ground that by holding these
events unsanctioned and by participat-
ing in the same. local motorists have
become outlaws in the eyes of the
automobile world.
While not wishing in any way to
belfttle the national organization, the
California motor car owners and trade
representatives have felt that the de-
mand of a sanction fee was not quite
just considering that practically Moth
ing was given in return. The
reports from the Indiana small car
road race. which was held last Friday.
stated that Fred ]. Wiseman, one of
the best coast drivers, piloted one of
the Stoddard-D aytons in the contest.
The fact that Wiseman had driven in
practically every contest of any i'm
portance held in California, among
which were several unsanctioned events,
seemed not to have made any impress
sion on Chairman Hover. If partici-
pating in unsanctioned events would
bar a driver from eastern contests, it
was evident that through an over
sight, or for some other reason. Hover,
or his committee. or the committee re-
sponsible for the contest mentioned,
had failed to punish Wiseman for his
IL
toned contests. If lax methods of
protection exist where the A. A. A. is
supposed to be the strongest and most
active, what kind of protection could
the coast enthusiasts expect 5000 miles
away from the base of action?
