Coe em eater ase eet Page 8, The Herald, Wednesday, May 23, 1979 Horner may be available ATLANTA (AP) — Bob Horner apparently is just what Atlanta Braves need — a potential superstar at 21, mature bayond his years. Yet because of a contract technicality, within a few days he may be available to the highest bidder. Horner, fresh off the Arizona State University campus, stunned major league baseball by hitting 23 home runs and knocking in 69 runs in only 89 games a year ago to sweep National League’s Rookie of the Year honors. Then, during the winter, a. contract dispute arose. Horner and his Dallas-based agent, Bucky Woy, decided to go to arbitration. That process is expected ta culminate the first week in June when an arbitrator at the ‘University of Kansas, law professor Ray Goetz, decides whether the youngster belongs to the Braves or goes on the free- agent market. Horner missed nearly all of spring training because of the contract squabble, Then he suffered a fractured bone in his ankle during the seagon opener and missed 31 mes. out since his return a week ' ago, Horner has hit three homers and driven in nine runs in only 25 at bata while hitting .280, including a three-run, game-winning home run Monday night against Houston Astros. “The way things have turned out, I think I can play under any circumstances," Horner said Tuesday. “I don’t think anything could happen that would bother me after all this,”’ The arbitration hearing came about when the Braves offered Horner $100,000 for the 1979 season. He was asking for a multiyear contract at between $250,-000 and $300,000 a year, : He earned a $150,000 signing bonus and $21,000 in salary last season. Woy sald the Braves could not offer Horner Jess than $148,000 for this season under baseball rules that allow a maximum cut of 20 per cent. U.S. AUTO CLUB AGREES - 'TOREOPEN QUALIFYING RUNS INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ‘— The United States Auto Club agreed Tuesday to reopen qualifications for Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 for 11 cars that were bumped from the starting lineup last weekend. . ‘The unprecedented special qualifying period, however, does not include the car of Wayne ‘Woodward, who filed suit earlier in the day to stop the $t-million race if his car was not. reinstated. . Woodward's car, - driven by rookie Dick Ferguson, was removed after quali- img amid allegations of fy cheating on power restrictions imposed by USAC to keep speeds down. Anyone making the field in the special period, to be held Thursday, would be added to the _ traditional $3-car lineup. USAC president’ Dick King said the proposal, a ‘compromise in an . escalating furor over attempts to override the power restrictions and USAC's efforts to deal with it, was contingent _ upon the agreement of all 33 cara already in the field. To qualify in the special session, a car would have to at least equal the slowest speed in the current fleld — 193,908 miles an hour by veteran Roger McCluskey, King said the action was taken because the 11 cars invelyed qualified before a USAC bulletin issued before the final day of time trials suggesting that intake exhaust pipes have a Minimum inside diametre of 1.47 inches. . The bumped drivers said that amounted to legalizing attempts to ‘ over-ride the power restrictions and put them at a competitive disad- vantage, The standard size of the exhaust pipes is about 2.5 inches.
