HEARNE REACHES
TRACK FOR WORK
Cha mpion Automobile
Driver Ready To Start
Long Grind

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April TO-
(Special)-Eddie Hearne, champion au-
tomobile<racing driver of 1928, who will
drive in the International 50O-mile race
at the Indianapolis motor speedway,
Friday, May 80, has arrived in Indian
apolis to start the long training grind
for the big speed event.
Hearne is one of the real characters
OF the racing world, which is replete
with interesting personalities. He
started driving when in his teens, and
has always been a serious contender for
the highest honors. With a record of
having tutored more young stars than
any other pilot, Hearne, known as the
youthful veteran, is still spry enough
to defeat the younger general of speed
merchants he has helped school,
Harry Hartz and Harlan Fengler, two
of the best of the new school Of pilots,
owe much of their fundamental knowl-
edge or the great gasoline sport to the
coachings of Eddie Hearne,
Hearne is regarded as one of the most
cautious and consistent drivers in speed
way racing. Backed with the expe-
rience of years of prosperous COMPETE
ton on all types of tracks, he has an
uncanny knack of planning his cam
paigns before the race, arranging a
schedule-then sticking to it.
Sometimes he figures wrong. But his
income tax slip is evidence that most
every track IN the country makes at
least modest contribution to his bank
roll each year.
Last year he drove in ahead of the
pack enough times to grab the highest
honor in racing-the years champion
ship award.
Practice is starting at INDIANAPOLIS
nearly a month ahead of the usual time.
Other pilots are expected to follow close
ly ON Hearne's heels,

Shot Comes Home First In Second Race At BoDie Track

berry Finn scuffing up the loan in a
half-hearted effort to make up the lost
ground. Only one horse in the race car
ried more weight than Jock, who Shout
dered 107 pounds of dunnage and car
ried 1t as though he hadn't an ounce in
the saddle.
Perhaps old Jock, so long despised
and abandoned by the bettors, had a
flash of Indignation as he went to the
post with odds of 106 to 1 opposite his
name. He is marred and stiff in the
joints and his knees and ankles are
knobby from hammering together in a
long career on many tracks. He had
his day of glory back in his earlier ca
reer when he carried the Cochran colors
to the pay window after many races.
One Good Race Comes Out
But Jock has gone down the line fol-
lowing the career of the has-been
through many changes of ownership,
finally coming into the modest stable
of Ray Scherrer, a retired jockey, who
grew fat and learned for himself what
1t means to abandon the paths of glory.
Scherrer and his trainer, Marty Muir
ply, thought Jock had one good race
left in him and they continued sending
him to the front when other men
wouldn't have bought him for a grocer's
cart.
The 106-to-1 odds probably mean that
only Scherrer and Murphy and perhaps
the jockey had tickets on Jock Scot.

PRO GOLFERS TO
TRY FOR HONORS
Americas Golf Invasion
Of England Otherwise
Is Very Slim =

NEW YORK, April 1o.-America's
golf invasion of Great Britain, which
has carried off a fair share of the
lions laurels within the past few years,
will be confined chiefly this year to
professional ranks.
From present indications, none of
this country's leading amateur stars,
who last year defended the Walker
cup in spectacular battle on British
links, will compete in the British anna
teur championship, while only one out
standing woman player, Miss Audrey
Faust of st. Louis, so far has filed
entry for the British women's cham
pionship.
On the other nand, the professional
cracks, headed by Walter Hagen, who
has held virtually every major title on
both sides of the water, and Gene
Sarazen, p. G.. A. title holder, ex-
pect to make another attack on royal
and ancient strongholds. Hagen won
the British open crown in 1922 and
came within a stroke of retaining 1t a
year ago, when Arthur Havers recov-
cred some of Britain's prestige. Sara
zen failed to qualify last year.
Joe Kirkwood, who has burned up
southern links with his brilliant play
in the winter months; Cyril Walker and
Jim Barnes are other prospective in
Vaders.
Willie Hunter, former British anna
teur champion, who now resides in
Los Angeles, indicated early this year
he might return to his native soil in
an attempt to lift the amateur crown
again.
Miss Edith Cummings of Chicago,
present national women's champion,
and Miss Glenna Collett, former title
holder, finally have decided not to
seek British laurels this year.
