Can an automobile beat a sprinter
ever distance of % or 100 yards
That question has been creating great
interest since * was asked in a recent
issue OF the Star-Bulletin. 1t will be
tried out on Saturday afternoon at
Alexander Field at the Y. NJ. c. A.
track meet -
The clubs of the association will
hold their track meet at Alexander
Field beginning at / 80, and at this
time several of the dealers win make
a test with their automobiles to see
il they can beat a Splinter for the
above distance, from standing start.
Sullivan Motor Car Company be
lieves that they can take the Haynes
car over a 100 yards faster than Bill
Bibee, Gordon Glib, Stickney or Bush
can run il, while many of the track
followers believe that the sprinters
will beat the auto out. c. C. Clark Of
the Ables-Hertsche Company is con.
fident that he can beat out the sprint.
ers over rs yards in a Marnon car
from standing start, and will try ii
out on Saturday.
Frank Dougherty isn't sure about
aASOIAOOtlO AtOhiF lhO
Splinter, but he says that he will back
the Excelsior motorcycle to win from
any Of the cinder path artists over
any distance over so yards. Other
dealers in Honolulu may try 1t out to
give the fans chance to settle the
