TIUice, but
Not Working at 1t,
Says DriUeT Hedrne
Went to College and
Specialized in Music,
Jazz Variety.

Eddie Hearne, who will drive a Revere
car In the 800 mile race TO be held at
the indianapolis Motor Speedway, Mon
day. May 90, has many superstitions.
Little Eddie, the blonde haired comedian
OF the race track, is scared TO death Of
black cat, and he would not get his
hair cut before a race on a bet; he would
walk three miles to escape walking IN
der ladder. lie IS serious about IT,
and always carries a prayer given him
by Barney Oldhelds wife.
Hearne IS one Of the few college BOYS
In racing. He had four years at Racine
COLLEGE and two years at the University
of Chicago, where lie cultivated a won
ddeerful appreciation Of music-especially
Jazz music.
Eddie has had a checkered career on
the race track and SAYS that his ambition
when he was a boy was to be cowboy.
lot Of money came into Hearne's
hands when he was quite a younEster
and he started driving as an amateur
and owned his own cars. He frankly adj
mits that If he had il 10 do over again
be would not start racing. Racing, ac-
cording TO Hearne, is profitable II you
are lucky. but he goes on to say that
many race drivers have squandered for
tunes with nothing to show for them but
wonderful experience.
Berne trains for his races by getting
to bed ana getting out early, thus as
surfing splendid physical reserve energy,
and does lot of crOSs-country driving
In n touring car.
If we take him Mt his word he will
soon quit racing, which he began In 1907.
Married twice, but not working at II
now" lie has a boy aged 9-Edward A.
Hearne Jr. 1t Is not probable that Eddie
Jr. viii ever enter the field Of racing #
his father has anything to say about it.
Hunting is Hearne's favorite sport on
the track and he is Interested in the au-
tOmObile business.
More than half Of the subscribers TO
last years Citizens lap prize fund for
tho annual 50)-mile race already have
written to A. H. Adams, chairman of the
lap prize committee IN response to his
letter requesting their cooperation this
year. The subscribers of last year have
been placed on an honor roll and no 9th

ceived. A large number replies. were &C.

strong Endorsements Of this premier au-
tomotfve sporting event, which 1t Is be-
lleved, adyertises indianapolis to the
business as well as to the sporting
world.
1t is not the aim Of the committee, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Adams, to ask for checks
at this time, but to request subscription
pledges and responses to the letter sent
by the committee to the 200 who sub
scribed last year and have been placed
on the honor roll for 1921 with the first
privilege of subscribing. The majority
OF those who have already offered their
cooperation seem to think that the present
is the best time to advertise the city and
to let the citizens of the rest of the cOun-
try know that at least Indianapolis
means to go ahead and to promote every
thing that adds to the citys credit and
advertising to the rest Of the world.

CONDITION WILL CUT BIG FIGURE

ing the pennant racs q strictly metro
politan affair
Good pitching and well balanced regu-
lar line-ups are the things that make
the Giants, Pirates and Robins loom up.
That is, these teams seem to have the
pitching material and the defensive
punch, but they will have to be in condi-
ton to make the proper use Of their
strength.
Always optimistic, yet always sagacious,
Uncle RObby probably has fears for the
Robins in the early stages of the race.
Reports from New Orleans, where
Brooklyn has been in training, indicate
that Sherou Smith and Leon Galore are
the only Dodger pitchers ready to go
the route, and Burleigh Grimes, at last
reports, still had refused to come to
terms. Last year Grimes was the ace
of Robby's staff, and he is badly needed.
The rest Of the Dodger players, it Is
said, are far below the standard Robby
obtained last year at Jacksonville in the
matter OF physical readiness. So Uncle
Wilbert has his worries.
II Giants, harried by the jinx and
hospital list, will not be any too Zippy
unless Bancroft and Rapp fully recover
from illness and Frank Frisch manages
to take good care of his injured leg.
McGraw has a nifty looking infleld with
everybody on the tob-fr1sch, Bancroft
Rapp and Kelly But let one or two of
them fall out of the ranks and New YOrk
would be up. against a tough problem,
for McGraw has nothing flashy or Ge-
pendable in the way of infield reserves.
The Pirates, according to reports, are
in great shape. And news from Texas
tells US that the Reds were never in bet
ter condition, while Branch Rickey's Car
dinals encountered the best kind OF
weather at Orange, Texas, and will be
on their toes when the bell rings. Don't
be surprised to see any one of these five
teams step out and set a terrific pace.
And by the same token. National League
fans will do well not to expect too much
from any one of them. 1t looks like
close race to the wire between three Of
them, however. and this trio probably
will be composed of Brooklyn, Pitts
burgh and New York.

Lands DECIDES
HE CAN NOT ACT
Says He Hasn't Authority
Over Appeal Made by
Minors.

By ruling that he had no Jurisdiction
to act on the appeal OF a minor league
baseball player for reinstatement, Com
missioner Lands yesterday established
precedent that will have a far-reachlng
effect and will serve to keep the docket
Of the commission free from lot OF
cases which have hitherto clogged the
works
The case is that Of l.. n. La Longe,
now on the ineligible list Of the Kansas
City American Association Club, who was
board of the minor league association
and appealed to Judge Lands. The play,
er attempted to retire from organized
baseball to accept a bunch Of soft money
so much smiling around the camps or
the majors and big minors during the
war. Now he's sorry.
JUDGE INTERPRETS
LEAGUES PACT.
In deciding he has no Jurisdiction Com
missioner Lands tnterprets the new ma
jor-minOr agreement. as follows:
player L. \. La Longe, on the 1nelig1-
BILE list of the Kansas City club, appeals
from n decision of the national board OF
arbitration denying his application for
Reinstatement. Secretary Farrell reports
this PLAYER notified the Kansas City club
of his retirement, at the same time stat.
ing he had a contract with club that
would pay him ore money, and that he
Joined the VIGOROUSLY ineligible Oil City
Pa.) team
AT the outset the commissioner Is com
fronted with the fundamental question
whether a minor league player whose
application for reinstatement has been
denied by the national board has the
right to appeal to the commissioner. His
Jurisdiction so far as matters exclusively
Of minor league concern, is defined by
the rlajor-minor league agreement Of July
10, 1920.
SAYS MINORS
SELF-GOVERNING.
From that it appears TO have been
clearly intended the minor league shah
be wholly self governed as far as the re-
instatement Of minor league players is
concerned and that the national board
Of arbitration shall have Exclusive juris-
dictiOn in such cases. Minor league clubs
have no right of appeal from an adverse
decision of the national board Of arbitra
ton in any dispute wherein no major
league or club is 4 party; and q minor
league player may appeal to the commits
siOner only ~ when he has a financial
claim amounting to $500 or more and (2)
when he claims to be a free agent.
Further, the rules adopted pursuant to
tn emajor-m minor league agreement pro-
vide for a hearing only before the ma
tiOnal board Of the National Association
when q voluntarily retired minor league
player, who has become Ineligible, makes
applica ton for reinstatement.
This being exclusively minor league
matter, the commissioner holds that he
is without jurisdiction TO act"
