MOTOR EXPERTS DISCUSS AWARD Consider Victdry of the Pierce- Arrow a Splendid Showing for an Automobile; Rules This Year Do Not Allow of Anything But Perfect Con dition at the Finish R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU Nothing Jn the way of an automo bile contest since the motor car made "it^ first appearance in this country has attracted the attention of the expert as nuioh as the Glidden tour just finished. ."\Ylu?n this classic touring: event was first" started it was more on the order of an outing to attract the public at tention to the motor car, but as time went on it became a battle between manufacturers for supremacy. In keeping with the dignity that the event had acquired the rules became more strenuous each year until this season they reached an order that did not allow of cars paining: a perfect score by merely making controls on time, it is well known that in some of the previous events several cars gained the coveted perfect score when almost down and out. After the contest they had to be shipped to the factory to un dergo a thorough overhauling. * It is the knowledge that such condi tions have existed that caused the offi cers of the American automobile asso ciation this year to. make the rules so \u25a0trenuous that to gain a perfect score at the finish, the car had not only to be perfect in its running time, but should also be in perfect condition when the tour was completed. This, is empha sized by the report of the technical committee which examined the cars at Ihe close of the tour in Kansas City. Of all the cars that had competed only two, both Pierce-Arrows, were able -to emerge from the examination with a clean score, a record which, •when the course traveled Is considered, speaks volumes for. the winners. On no' other run of this distance c.ould more varied conditions of road be found, which adds still more to the value- of the victory of the Pierce-Ar rows". • This year was a fitting climax to the good work of this make of car, which .lias won the trophy ever since it. was" first offered. : • BrFFAIA).
