| Association. If industry counts for any
| thing Savannah will be a very formidable
| factor in the bidding war for the great
motor speed classic The business men
OF the city realize what il means to them
TO have another grand prize and are NOT
leaving any of the proverbial stones I'M

Judging from Savannah reports, the
southerners do not anticipate any tou-
BILE taking tho event away from the gen
er;I field OF bidders. However, there il
one exception That is. the Long Island
Motor Parkway. The southerners realize
the influence that will be brought to bear
to swing the event TO Lond Island. II is
n generally known fact that many of the
directors of the Motor Cups Holding Com
pany. which was organized last year to
run off tho Vanderbilt cup and grand
prize races. are stockholders in the park
way This is a handicap for Savannah
that will be hard to overcome.
Although local motorists are not prone
to think that Savannah will land the
prizs, there are many good points in its
favor. First and most important, most
Of the well known drivers favor the south

to the latter in this respect. Then there
are the policing arrangements to be con-
sidered. The 1905 race at savannah was
policed better than any event OF the klno
ever seen III this country. Moreover, il
has not been forgotten that the southern
ers ran Off what was considered to be the
ideal road race OF this country.
