LOOKS BAD FOR SHILLING

in France.

Samuel .. Hdroth will surely get a
license TO train in England" This was the
statement made yesterday by Jack Melon
aid. who recently returned from France,
where hc had Gouc to purchase brood
mares Or William X. Vanderbilt.
Mr. Mcdonald has boon I'm close touch
with prominent English turfmrn, and h"
was positive in setting a rest tho rumors
that tho man who headed the list Of win
ming owners in this country in 1911 would
not be barred from the English courses.
II has hecn intimatcd that Mr. HIldreth
would net 10 welcome. and many horsemen
were led To believe that the rumor lad an
element OF truth
"rch reason for barring Mr. TIldrcth at
Newmarket" said Mr. Mcdonald lis that
the place Is already overcrowded, and HI
dreth Is in the same fix as many another
English trainer. There are many in exec
lent standing to whom Newmarket is
closed. but only for the reason that. for
the preservation OF the turf courses. the
number of stables permitted to train there
must he limited.
Charles Hohlcr, the purchaser Of the
llildrcth horses, will fnd plenty " suitable
places a. train and tho fact Of not being
permitted to stable at Newmarket means
absolutely nothing. except the DISADVANTAGE
OF not having tho use OF it, wondrous
stretches OF turf
TT Is for the self same reason that Ep-
som has been closed for a period OF four
months. The horses have been barred IN
order that the 'gallops' may come back to
good condition. II trainers were permitted
TO Use the various training grounds at their
pleasure. there would soon be no turf left.
and these regulations are absolutely neces-
sarv. II was at EPSON that Wooton was
training I.omond. tho Derby favorite. and
the prohibition will force him 10 take tire
colt TO one OF the other courses
mo one need have any fear that Hill
drcth Will be- denied license. but Shilling
the pockcy, who was To have ridden for the
stable may find that he is not as welcome
as his employer The English Jockey club
IS not i'm the habit of explaining its ac-
tions. any more than Is our Jockey Club.
but | have good reason to believe that
Shilling will be denied a license to ride
Without knowing definitely. it is safe
TO assume that those in. control OF racing
in England have not forgotten the cutting
scrape at Sheepshead Bay. when Shilling
was accused Of attackin his then employer,
r. l.. Thomas. | don't know that this is
the particular bar against Shilling but my
information Is that he will not be permit
ted TO ride"
