Reiser, Star Outfielder Os Dodgers, Hurt New York. June 5 <UP» Pete Reiser, the game little trouper of the Ihidgers. lay In a heap be low the concrete wall in center field, the official scorer had credited Cully Rikard ot the Pirates with a home run. and Ebbets field for once was like a cemetery. Reiser was unconscious when team mates reached him, but still! clutched firmly in his glove was the ball he had risked his neck [ to catch, and the scorer hastily marked Rikard out. Today, all over Flatbush, there was a growing fear that the homei run Rikard didn't get, may have ; cost Brooklyn another flag. For' Pistal Pete, the big gun of the Dodgers lay in Brooklyn's Swedish ' hospital with injuries described' by club physician Dominick Rossi, as "bad concussions and lacera-i tlons along the right side of the: head " It was Just one more tragic] episode in the career of as game i a player as ever hitched on a pair of baseball flannels Mat year, four days before the season ended. Reiser's battling spirit cost him a broken ankle in a game with thej Phils and Dodger president Branch I Rickey swears Brooklyn would have beaten out the Cards with Reiser in the lineup for the final] games. It was Lhe fourth time in Reiser's career that he had come out second best in his "Don Quixote" battles with concrete walls. When revived last night he said he had, no recollection of anything ex ' cept "catching that fly.” The Dodgers, with Reiser's pal. Peewee Reese, supplying most of the punch on a grand slam homer, won the costly game, 9 to 4. making it three straight over Pittsburgh and moving into a virtual tie for first place, four points behind the deadlocked Cubs and Giants. Bruce Edwards also hit a Homer with one man abase and Ralph Kiner and Hank Greenberg, the Pirate homer twins each got one off Ralph Branca, who was otherwise effective in scoring his sixth victory. He struck out nine batters Reese's homer was the first grand-slammer for the Dod gers in two years. Castoff Charley Barrett, who won only two games with the Cardinals last season, came back to plague them at Boston, hurling a six-bit, 3 to 1 victory for the

Yet the “arnica division'* has him worried. The Cults had one of baseball's most imposing hospital Bets in 1946 when they came up with no less than fractures in addition to assorted Charley horses, sure arms and damaged fingers. Physical damages. und not the opposition, kept them from making a successful pennant defense And they are off winging in the medical division this year. Already four .regulars are on the hidelintvt and two pitchers have had sore arms while another, Hank Borowy, had his usual finger blisters. “Rough, brother, rough.” Charley barked as he banged a bat on the floor of the dugout. "Second baseman Don Johnson will be out another week wjth a pulled leg muscle; Stan Hack will lie out It) days with an ankle sprain; Andy Pafko ha* a kidney infection which will keep him out two more weeks, and catcher Bob Scheffing has a bad toe which has to be X-rayed.” Pafko, u bad luck guy. suffered ankle ami arm fractu:es last year. “Bill Lee Just I* coming Itack from a sore arm But thank heavens Borowy has recovered from his blister* — so we're not kicking. We'll just keep right on playing and hustling." Grimm is grimly hoping for a "hot streak which will give his club a cushion. "Any team who gets a 10 or 12 game streak is going to be tough to catch." he said “They can then afford to lose a couple. We hope it will be ue." Grimm nodded at the Giants, surprise team of the league, and nominated them as "the best we've looked at." “They throw that big inning at you," Charley groaned. “And tton’t forget a lot of other teams are close and those Cardinals, well, they're too good to be where they are. Wait 'til they etart hitting and pitching." — o—- - Two Indianapolis Strikes Settled Indianapolis, June 5 — (UP)— A 111-day old strike of service employe* at the Claypool hotel and an eight-week old walkout of 2.000 carpenters ended today.
