NO AUTO RACING DURING WAR

Events Will Not 1 Be Sanctioned by American Automobile Association —Must Serve Country. No automobile races in America will be sanctioned by the American Automobile association until after the war ends. The contest board of the association recently decided upon their course, thus practically ending all racing in America. The action was taken to remove the temptation of racing from more than 1,200 drivers and mechanics, many of whom will now seek the same thrills by serving Uncle Sam.
