AMERICAN HORSEMEN
WELCOME IN FRANCE

NEW YORK. January 13.-The story
that the French Jockey Club (Societe
d Encouragement) had passed a rule that
no American trainer or jockey would be
permitted to train or ride in France until
after three years residence in France is
denied authoritatively by member of
the French Jockey Club in recent letter
to II. A. Buck, editor of the American
Racing Calendar. The letter is as fol-
lows:
The report that the Societe d Encourage-
ment has passed a rule that no American
trainer or jockey would be permitted to
train or ride In France until after three
years residence was current here before
1t went to America, but can assure you
On the highest authority that there is no
truth in the report, and that the Societe
q Encouragement has never thought of
passing such a rule. The reason for the
report getting about was a suggestion to
that effect, which, put forward by some
unauthorized person, was discussed gen.
orally by racing men here. You may
publish this denial if you see fit. for it is
absolutely correct
In fact, the French stewards will well
come, as In the past, any American racing
man who wishes to race horses in France
for the sake of the sport. but they will be
as vigilant as possible to prevent any Of
the professional element getting into their
band wagon, and therefore'I think It very
unlikely that they will grant any licenses
to American trainers. no matter how we'll
recommended, to open public stables here
Jockeys will be treated as in the past and
any reputable jockey well recommended
by the stewards of the New York Jockey
Club would doubtless secure his license.

SWARTHMORE GAME OFF.
Pennsylvanians Cancel Date With
GEORGETOWN.

The Georgetown management last night
received a telegram from Manager John
son of the Swarthmore basket ball team
stating that they would be unable to meet
the local quint this season. This cuts out
the battle scheduled for next Saturday
The cancelling of the game came as a
thunderbolt out of clear sky, and no
reason for the procedure can be thought
of. The Blue and Gray five were working
hard in their preparation for the contest
and were sorely disappointed when they
heard the news.
Assistant Manager Dilkes Immediately,
on receipt Of the Swarthmore cOmmunica-
ton, telegraphed to Fordham offering to
play the GOthamites in New York on the
night set for the game with the Quaker
team. These two were on the cards for
last Saturday night, but the game was
Y. NJ c. A. battle decided. Whether the
New Workers will accept the date is not
known as yet. In case they do not. the
Blue and Gray will not play again until
the 23d, when they meet the Navy at An
napolis A third game Is also being ar
ranged with the Y. M. G. A. of this city,
which will probably be played about Feb
ruary 10, since the collegians have no
contest down for between February
and 20.
The Blue and Gray team had a hard
workout against the Carroll Institute
team in the latter's gymnasium last night.

that the commission members should say
to them directly that they will rescind
or suspend rule II for their benefit, and
that they may report to me. Then could
ask formal permission to make my pres

time 1 may see fit.
