construction of a terminal
building and the strengthen
ing of the runways at Alex

Town race track reopens In 10
days. The track and the West
Virginia Rscins Commission have
reached a compromise on an early
opening for the spring" season
with the track accepting dates Of
January % through March Z.
The track had asked for a
meeting opening as early as jan

with Maryland tracks, while the
commission countered with the
suggestion OF a February 4 OPEN
ing. They reached tentative
agreement on the January %
opening last week, and final ap-
proval was reached yesterday.
Last year, Charles Town
opened February 9. and had what
1t considered q successful meet

earlier opening this year.

Mantle Reports
Knee Is 0kay,
Rejects Terms

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 R.-
Mickey Mantle was rolled into
the operating room Of Lenox
Hill Hospital today to undergo
Ia tonsilectomy, but before he
underwent the surgery he re-
vealed he had sent his contract
back, to the Yankees unsigned
and said the leg trouble which
|hampered his play in the World
Series is gone.
Mickey also declared the
Yanks would win the pennant
again this year.
The husky outfielder said he
had not been asked by General
Manager George Weiss why he
had returned the contract with
out his signature. But he ex-
poets to be called into Weiss
office before he heads back home
to Oklahoma.
Mantle wants more money
than he has been offered, but
he FASTENED to add that he's
certainly not a holdout. He
limited that he'd not be surprised
III he signed before leaving New
York.
Weiss, it was believed, offered
Mantle about 5000 and Mickey
would like a figure closer to
$50. 900.
AS for the ailing leg, Mickey
said:
Il just tested it the hard way
by racing my twin brothers, Ray
and Roy, and / beat them. AS
long as I can finish ahead of
them in race, I won't worry
about my speed"
He added that he did not even
use an elastic supporter on his
knee in the race. He attributed
the new-found strength to the
miles and miles he walks when
he's hunting.
