For over three hours last evening Barney Oldfield participated in the most irksome contest of his automo bile career, a legal race for the right to enter tomorrow's meet here, and he lost. Attorneys for the American Auto mobile association held that Old tel. had entered this legal contest with the wrong make of a car, and that instead of an Injunction to force the local racing association to al low him to rare In defiance of his disqualification by the American Au tomobile association, he should have used a mandamus to secure rein statement. Oldflelds attorneys, however, fixed up a consolation event for him in the shape of a suit for $20,000 damages against the American Automobile as sociation and one for $5000 against tho Atlanta Automobile association His prayer for damages in this amount was presented along with the injunction proceedings. The hearing was before Judge Geo. I Bell, In the Fulton county Su premo court. Oldflelds attorneys claimed that he had been disqualified bv the Automobile association with out a hearing, and that the dlsquall Mention of his 200 horse power Bern racer amounted to confiscation of nrouertv because as a racer It was worth $14,000. while if not allowed to race It was worth only $2500 They argued that his race with Jack Johnson, which caused the dlsquall fication. was justifiable, because It would lend to discourage Johnson from future competition with white sportsmen. Tho opposition counsel replied that Oldflelds disbarment was automatic under the rules he had himself sign ed, both against himself and his car and ihey produced affidavits stating that Oldfield told officials of the American Automobile association that he would disregard the rule on account of the money ho expected to make In the race with Johnson This case, they said, was an attempt by Oldfield to ahow that he is bigger than the A. A. A. Judge Hell, after three hours and fifteen minutes had been spent In argument, ruled that he had no Jur isdictlon. Because of the death of Al. Living stone Tuesday night as the result of an accident In practice work at the speedway Tuesday the entire entry of the National Automobile company comprising five racing cars in charge of Johnny Altken and Howard Wll cox, were withdrawn from the meet Thn cars were shlppt.d back to In dlunapolls last night.
