‘Midgets Can't

Measure U

By OSCAR United Press

Little men have written history, poetry and music but]

FRALEY Sports Writer

despite their howls of “discrimination” it was definitely decided today that they wouldn't write any records in the

American League. Eddie Gaedel, the midget pinch] hitter of the Browns, was drummed out of the league by President Will Harridge. The dignified prexy insisted that his /presence was “not to the best interests of baseball} » = - MILLIONS of people paid mil-

Hons of dollars to see P. T. Bar-|}

num’s Tom Thumb, another celebrated little man. There is no

telling how many people would}

have paid to see Bill Veeck’s Gaedel. Harridge didn’t elaborate, but

the inference was that in this|§ case at least dignity came before|:

dollars.

It left absolutely no place In

sports for a midget who can’t ride a horse.

Bench jockeys, it has been ruled,

are out. » » » SO EDDIE GAEDEL, the Lilli pian larruper, failed to make

th ajor leagues by about a foot

and a half. Which, when you con sider it, isn’t too bad. There are a lot of guys with more altitude who never come within miles of it. There is a rumor that the Boston Red Sox were behind Harridge’s ban. The Red Sox hold the major league record of bases on balls in a single season. If Gaedel had been permitted to stay, and the Browns had come up with a couple more, that record wouldn't have stood up long enough to get a suntan. It's just no world -any more for a little guy, as the midget found recently when he got a parking ticket because he couldn't reach the meter. But there were some of them who had more weight than height.

” ” »

JEAN PAUL MARAT, one of the heroes of the French revolu-| tion, for instance, was only four feet, 11 inches. Harridge is lucky this decision wasn’t made then! and there. Napoleon was only a five footer, and he broke up a lot of ball games. Beethoven was five feet, four inches and Keats was only five, two. John Paul Jones was only five, five and Adm. Farragut was five, six—the same as Phil Rizzuto.’ I'm not saying the Browns ought to protest the Scooter’s right to maneuver in the Yankee infield. but Phil is closer to being Gaedel’s size than he is to comb-| ing Carnera’s hair. kJ ” - TO A guy who likes to see the

Four Hocsiers, Ralph Potter, owner of Ralph's Muffler and Speed Shop, Indianapolis; ‘Bob Hamke, car owner; Dick Miller and Joe Clymer, mechanics, are leaving today for the Salt beds towing the car they hope will break the world’s land speed record for Class C engines. §

That record currently stands at 162 mph. In their attempt to break it, the combination of Potter and Hamke will use a built up Ford, the chassis of which originally was 2 1923 model pickup truck. The car was built by Bob and its present engine, which will take the car on its first trial run Aug. 28, has triple carburetion.

» # »

CLASS C includes engines of 250 to 310 cu. in. displacement. The Hamke engine has a displacement of 296 cu. in, while the owned by Potter, who is sponsoring the car is 306.3 cu, in. It will be run by fuel injection.

The fuel the engines will burn {is a secret, but Ralph did go so {faras to say that a by-product of nitoglycerine was the basic in|gredignt. In addition to the help given by the mechanics the boys got a further lift in their speed ambition by Joe James, 500-mile

AT PRESENT, Potter is slated to drive the car on its record runs, “That is,’ he said,” if I don't! get scared off beforehand. The fastest I have ever driven is 128 mph. That was in 1940 at El Mirage, Cal. Now we'll have to be going 50 mph faster to bring home the record. That's pretty fast and when I get behind the wheel I might find out I'm older than I think I am.” "1 Hamke voiced virtually the same sentiments, and so just in

case the two boys decide they are no longer boys, they have contacted a California driver who has agreed to drive for them.
