WINNER OF RACE IS DISQUALIFIED
Miss Helen Richey Given First Place in Women's Air Event by Judges.
Helen Richey, of McKeesport, Pa., co-holder with the late Frances Harrell of the world's endurance flight record for women, Monday afternoon was awarded first prize of $1,000 cash in the 50-mile feature race of the Women's National Air meet. Held Sunday at Dayton municipal airport.
Miss Richey was declared winner by the contest committee, headed by L. Luzern Custer, when that group disqualified Edna M. Gardner, "flying nurse" from Washington, D.C., upon the protest of Annette Gipson, Garden City, Long Island. 
Miss Gardner finished first and Miss Richey finished second in the race. Miss Gipson claimed Miss Gardner fouled her at the first pylon of the last lap and witnessing judges upheld her protest. 
Miss Gardner has the privilege of appealing within 15 days to the contest committee of the National Aeronautical association at Washington, protesting her disqualification. 
Unless the N. A. A. overrules the decision of the committee, here, the winners, with their prizes, will stand as follows: 
Miss Richey, $1,000; Alma Arlene Davis, Cleveland, $500; Gladys O'Donnell, Long Beach, Calif., $250; Helen MacCloskey, Pittsburgh, $150, and Ruth Barron Nason, Rochester, N.Y., $100.
