Pope Hartford Captures Honors at Atlanta Hill Climb
In the second annual hill climb by the Atlanta Automobile and Accessories association on Stewart Avenue, Pope-Hartford entries led by the Betsy owned by L. S. Crane won three of five events. Pope-Hartford set local records, with the Betsy clocking 5.04.5 seconds in the fourth event and 6.04.5 seconds in a later run, while Studebaker also performed well. Motorcycle events drew smaller fields, with amateur and professional divisions won by Pope and Indian respectively. A crowd of about a thousand watched as drivers and officials conducted the meet amid brisk competition and notable exhibitions.
