AGAIN BRUCE-BROWN HAS WON THE GRAND PRIZE Sets New World's Record at Terrific Speed-American Drivers in For eigi tars. Grand Prize Race Course, Savannah, Nov. 30.--Flying faster than the biting wind which swept the frozen course, ]avid L. Bruce-Brown, the young American millionaire, today establish ed a new world's record for automo bile road races in winning his second #rand Prize race in as many years at an average speed at 74.55 miles an hour. His average last year over the same course was 70.55 miles an hour. The supreme honor again went to an American driver piloting a foreign ear, but this year it was an Italian Fiat instead of a German Benz that eaTried the dauntless Bduce-Brown to victory. His elapsed time today was 331 minutes and 20.13 seconds. Bruce-Brown captured the greatest American trophy only after a fierce gnd nerve racking struggle in which Eddie Hearn, driving kBenz was sec tnd, two minutes behind, at 333:33.07, and Ralph De Palma third at 334:40.85, No mishap involving life or limb mar red the running of what probably will be the last of these classic races at Savannh. .i Spectators on Their Feet. The exciting finish of the -great con test brought thousands of cheering spectators to their feet so intense was the interest. As the winner's red car flashed into view a mile distant from the grandstand on the home stretch a mighty roar of applause rent the air and increased in volume as the racer crossed the line in a meteoric burst of speed. Of the 16 foreign and American rac ing machines which darted away in the start of the gruelling 411.36-mile contest, only six finished. All of the remainder were unable to undergo the tearing endurance strain and were eliminated from time to time by the breaking of vital portions of their ma chines. The foreign cars apparently surpassed the American manufactur ers as not a single one of the latter crossed the tape at the finish in a place. On the other hand, American drivers demonstrated superiority over the foreign pilots. Outcome a Surprise. The outcome of the race was a sur prise to automobile enthusiasts, as neither of the two favorites of yester day both Frenchmen. were at the run ning at the finish. Victory Hemery, the Benz driver, who was heavily playe'I, was not a contender for the honors after the seventh lap. Louis Wagner, the other favorite, retired his Fiat from the contest in the 15th turn. The most thrilling moments of the spectacular race were witnessed at the conclusion of the 22nd lap. On the previous lap Bruc'e-Brown had flashed by the grandstand in the lead, with Eddie Hearn 36 seconds behin~ and Ralph Mulford following closely. As Bruce-Brown's Fiat -appeared in the distance a groan of dismay- wenit out from thousands of throats when it was seen that he was slowing down for a stop at the pits. Scarcely had his predicament become manifest when Eddie Hearne burst into view and .likewise slowed doXvn at the pits. A wild burst of cheering rent the firma ment when Ralph Mulford, the third of the leading trio, passed the start ing point only to bait at the Lozier pit. Race of Skill. The stopping of three cars was the signal for a spirited race between the respective drivers and mechanicians in taking On gasoline and changng tires. The spectators leaned forward and shouted encouragements as oil cans were deftly opened and their contents fairly hurled into the steaming tanks. Simultaneously knives were jabbed in to the damaged tires and with the air hissing like disturbed serpents they were cast into the pits to be replaced by new ones with incredible speed. Mulford was the first to complete repairs and a minute arnd a half after he had halted, the Lozier, throbbing and thumping, started away amid a cloud of smoke. The crowd yelled it self hoarse, urging on the remaining drivers and expressing approval of the lightning work of the Lozier team. Twenty seconds after Mulford had disappeared into the distance Bruce Brown and his mechanician sprang int'j their big Fiat and started in pur suit. The Benz team was off again 10 seconds behind the Fiat. With re ports from the unmuffled exhaust~ pop ping like a gattling gun the machine spurted forward and was lost to sight in the wake of the lead.es.
