A Fiat versus Benz.
Oldfield asserts that owner Arnold
OF the 200 II. p. Fiat agreed to race
against his Benz In Florida or not 1t
all. Barney seems To have the best
of the argument rs the Florida course
is the only one In the world on which
TWO cars can be sent at their greatest
speed.
Oldfield has announced that he will
positively not go to Los Angeles for
the opening meet of the board track
and until the racing circuit opens In
the east the monster Benz will not be
seen in action except In Florida
In 1904 Oldfield defeated w. X Van
derbilt. Jr., and his Mercedes with the
Winton Bullet. but Vanderbilt captur-
ed the record for the fastest mile ever
driven in the world up to that time.
Since then 1t has been Oldfield's am
bition to hold the mile straightaway
record and this was foremost In his
mind when he paid $4,000 for the big
Benz.
