Feb. 2s.-The Vanderbilt cup automo'
bile classic was won by Ralph de

ney 'Oldheld, driving a Mercer car,
was second in 3 hours 90 minutes and
l second.
At the beginning of the thirtieth lap
De Palma was 80 seconds behind Old
field, but the latter started 80 seconds
ahead of De Palma and would have to
gain 60 seconds in the remaining I'VE
laps to defeat the winner OF the last
Vanderbilt cup race.
OIdfield went into the lead at the
end OF the t~wenty-third lap. with De
Palma a close second. The crowd
went wild when the announcement
was made that George ~Joermann. pilot
of the Touraine, an entry that was be-
lieved without a possible nance OF
running more than a few laps, was the
surprise of the classic. At the end of
his nineteenth lap Joermann was
driving a clever race and holding a
tight grip on fifth place. When Old
field had completed 25 laps he was still
in the lead, followed in order by De
Palma, Carlson, Cooper. JoerHnann and
Janette.
As Oldield passed De Palma he en-
acted q piece Of the most daring driv-
ing ever witnessed on any Vanderbilt
cup race course. The two machines
had passed the grand stand with only
few seconds separating them. AS they
approached death curve a right
angie turn, OldneIdd put on all power
and overtook De Palma. With death
for himself and his mechanician a GER
tainty IL he SEN his car one incl out
of the path, Oldfeld dashed onto the
and swung around De Palma's
Mercedes.
He kept the lead on the straight
away and passed the grand stand 100
feet ahead Of De Palma. The shouting
Of the crowd was thunderous.
Car No. / was sen away by Starter
Wagner at 1905 o'clock. The other Is
racing machines tore away at 15sec-
ond intervals.
Spencer Wishart, in No. 2, made the
first lap at 80 miles an hour, although
q soft spot developed by the recent
rains caused the cars to skid danger
ously at n of the turns.
The distance is 294.035 miles, or So
laps Of the 8.401-mile course, which
ought to be covered by the winners in
less than four hours. 1t Is said.
The veterans, Oldfteld and De
Palma. and Earl Cooper. who won last
years Santa Monica race, were the
favorites. The course was pronounced
to be In perfect condition.
