Nation's Top Jockey Injured During Race ARLINGTON HEIGHTS. 111. < UP)—Top jockey Willie Hartack was recovering from severe cuts and bruises today, thankful things weren’t any worse. Hartack, the nation's leading rider with 185 wins to date this year, was spilled in the first race at Arlington Park Wednesday. At first it was feared he had suffered a fractured vertebra and would be sidelined “indefinitely.” A later re-examination of Xrays revealed there had not been a fracture. Doctors said Hartack probably would be ready to ride again within a week Hartack tried to persuade the doctors to let him out by Saturday so he could ride Iron Liege in the SIOO,OOO Arlington classic. But they apparently told the spunky veteran that he wasn’t as, wen as? all that. ' Dr. Herman J. Carr, Arlington Park physician, said Hartack had a bad bruise in the area of his right kidney and abrasions on the right side of his forehead. Hartack was thrown from Smoke-Me-Now. a 2-year-old filly. The accident occurred when Smoke-Me-Now apparently tripped on a turn, somersaulting and throwing Hartack to the outside He was sprawled on the track while six horses pounded past. Hartack, 25. a native of Black Lick, Pa., has won 185 races so far this year. His closest competitor is veteran Willie Shoemaker, now in California, who has 161 winners up through Tuesday. Trucker Fined Here On Speeding Charge A fine of $1 and costs was paid in J.P. court Wednesday, by Richard Shannon, 30, a truck drives from Wyandanca, N. Y., who was arrested by state police for speeding on U.S. 224, five miles cast of Decatur.

Cardinals Open Eastern Trip With Giants By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer The St- Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees received some distressing news today as they prepared to open the second half of their pennant drives. Stan Musial, with the full approval of manager Fred Hutchinson. announced he has participated in his last double-header for the Cardinals this season, while the Yankees learned that their ace reliever, Bob Grim, is suffering again with a sore arm. Musial’s decision to play only the -first game of twin bills for the remainder of the season means his National League recoil for consecutive games played probably will be snapped Sunday when the Cardinals meet the Phillies in a double-header at Philadelphia. The 36-year-old first baseman hasn’t missed a game since the opening day of the 1952 season, appearing in 861 consecutive contests, but admits those long, drawn - out double - headers are starting to catch up with him. Talks It Over “It’s been kind of a struggle playing two games in one day," Musial explained as the Cardinals arrived in New York for the opening of a 13 - game eastern trip against the Giants. “I felt like I was getting a little tired, so I talked it over with Hutch and we both felt I’d probably be more valuable to the club just playing the first game of double - headers.” The Yankees, meanwhile, learned of Grim’s recurrent arm trouble as they prepared to launch a 12 - game road trip tonight at ' Kansas City. The soreness is located in the right forearm, near I

the elbow, as in the past. Grim twice had to be placed on the disabled list* in 1955 and last year, because of this chronic condition. The big right hander, who won eight games and lost three in helping the Yankees gain a 2%game lead over the first half of the campaign, is hopeful that the arm “will come around” with a proper rest. As a result, manager Casey Stengel plans to keep Grim out of the three-game Kansas City series with the hope he’ll bg ready for Sunday’s crucial twlni bill against the White Sox at Chi--1 cago. Chisox Entertain Senators ■ The White Sox, also hit by a recent wave of injuries, swing back into action tonight by entertaining ■ the Washington Senators. Boston ■ is at Detroit for an afternoon game, while Baltimore is at Cleve- ; land for a twilignt - night doubleiieader. Another twilight-night twihbill in the NL pits the Chicago Cubs against the Phillies at Philadelphia. Cincinnati visits . Brooklyn and Milwaukee is at Pittsburgh in other arc-lighters. The second - place Braves fell three games back of pace-setting St. Louis last night by suffering a 5-2 setback at the hands of the Pirates in the only major league action. A two-run, inside-the-park homer by Bob Skinner and a three-run single by Gene Baker carried the Pirates to their fourth straight victory. Bob Purkey allowed only six hits, including a two-run homer by Eddie Mathews, in posting his ninth victory. Bob Buhl was the loser. Youth Is Killed As Stolen Car Crashes PROVIDENCE, Ky. (UP) — Earl Lawson Jr.. 14. Indianapolis, was killed late Wednesday when a stolen car went out of control and crashed as Lawson and a companion fled police near here. Elbert Waterman, 14, also of Indianapolis, sustained minor injuries in the crash and was held in i the Webster County Jail at Dixon, | Ky., pending an investigation by I the FBI. 1

Minor Leagues Mapping Plans For Survival ST. LOUIS (UP) - Faced with a drastic realignment because of the possible westward movement of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, the minor leagues started mapping plans today for survival. At a three-and-a-half hour session with baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, the heads of the nation’s top minor leagues started setting up the machinery to change the minor league map as the major leagues expand. While no concrete action was taken at the special session Frick said Wednesday that "now at least we know each other’s problems." But he added he didn’t have any information on whether the Dodgers will move to Los Angeles and the Giants to San Francisco. "Actually, we found we don’t know where we are going,” Frick declared. "Baseball over the next few years faces the problem of growing up with the country and putting its leagues on a modem basis." The Pacific Coast League, the top minor circuit in the country, would be the most affected if the Dodgers and Giants — and they have until Oct. 1 to decide —• should go to the West Coast. But Frick said there was no mention of'specific cities as possible new sites in the league should it lose Los Angeles and San Francisco. "We discussed about every city in the country during the meeting,” he added. He said he did not bring up the subject of a third major league—which he feels sure- will be established ip the near future—or his proposed change in the baseball I draft, which he thinks will have to
