ARLINGTON PARK NOTES j 4 Jockey Eugene James received a bad shaking up Tuesday morning when Alberia, one of the Bradley horses which he was galloping, ran away and crashed through the inside fence. James was knocked unconscious, but close examination revealed no broken bones. Gallant Knight, which pulled up very lame after his sensational race in the Francis S. Peabody Memorial at Washington Park Saturday, may be lost to racing for the season. He is reported to have a slight bow in the middle tendon and the leg is still filled up. Trainer Spence, while not giving up hope completely, is doubtful if the injury can be remedied for some time. Jockey J. Leyland returned from Hamilton after a short visit and resumed riding today. Those who had confidence that Silverdale could win the Arlington Inaugural for the third straight time were rewarded, even though the animal did not score. Silverdale was coupled in the field with Gold Step, the winner, and those that wagered on him at the track cashed their tickets. Silver-dale won the Inaugural in 1930 and 1931. Word was received from Hamilton that the powerful string of R. Pollard is being shipped to Arlington Park today. Jockey M. Clancy, who has been riding well on eastern tracks, is coming with the stable. Jockeys E. Steffen and T. P. Martin shared honors opening day, each riding two winners. Jockey W. Chidgey, one of the apprentice sensations of the Riverside Park meeting, made his bow to the Chicago public today. The boy is under contract to Mike Syufy. Jockey Laverne Fator, for years one of Americas outstanding riders, appeared on a Chicago track for the first time in seven years when he rode Bobbing in the first race today. His last mount was aboard Mad Play in the old Hawthorne Special at Hawthorne. In the absence of Max Hirsch, the filly Flag Trick was saddled by J. R. Pryce for her effort in the fifth race Tuesday. Arriving with the Hirsch horses Monday were six belonging to Pryce, who handles the western division of the Walter J. Salmon establishment. W. C. Weant registered the ten horses in his stable Tuesday, nine having been transferred from Washington Park and the filly Wise Anne coming from Latonia, where she won the Clipsetta Stakes on Saturday. Wise Anne is a probable starter in the Hyde Park Stakes to be run on Wednesday, July 13. Another stable arrival over the week-end was that of S. W. Labrot, Maryland sportsman, whose horses were brought here from Hamilton by William Irvine. Included in the list were Springsteel, a Classic nominee; Open Hearth, Mexico and Tred Avon, the latter a Matron Handicap possibility. Bill Burke, who has charge of the admission ticket sales, reported no inconvenience to patrons in the manner of handling the government tax on tickets and badges. Tax coupons are sold at all gates. Trainer T. P. Hayes had the Warm Stables The Nut out for speed Tuesday morning in preparation for the Stars and Stripe3 Handicap. The veteran son of Mad Hatter went a mile in 1:41 in easy fashion, doing the quarter in :24, half in :48, three-quarters in 1:13 and seven-eighths in l:26i The Nut finished second to White Clover U. in the Suburban Handicap this spring and he also has the Lawrence Realization and Huron Handicap to his credit. Hillsborough, one of A. Bartelsteins four good performers, went seven-eighths in 1:25 and may be a starter in the Stars and Stripes. Another sharp training move of the morning was that of J. W. Mays Charleigh, which won four out of his last five starts in New Work. The Master Charlie four-year-old was timed the mile in 1:36 after going the half in :46 and three-quarters in 1:10. One of the largest stables from the East yet to arrive is that trained by James Fitz-simmons and it is expected at the conclusion of the Aqueduct meeting Monday. Faireno, winner of the Belmont and Shevlin Stakes, is the outstanding member of the band and he is coming to Arlington to race in the Classic. The sensational young jockey Henry Mills will accompany Fitzsimmons here. Jockey E. Acaro was suspended for ten dways for rough riding on Polyphote in the second race.
