SHILLING IS REFUSED
 LICENSE AS A JOCKEY

New York, November 2l-(special.)- Jockey Shilling will not ride on race tracks running under Jockey club super vision. His license as trainer will not be affected
 This decision was reached today after a two hours conference between mem- bers of the New York Jockey club, the Maryland Jockey club and Maryland Rac- ing commission. J. K l. Ross also was present at the meeting while Jockey Shilling sat outside.
 In addition to the finding of today $ conference, Commander Ross an- nounced that he will withdraw the ap- plication he made to the Jockey club for license for Shilling as a rider He further said that as long as Shilling was
 in his employ no application would be made to any turf body for license for Shilling as jockey
 Shilling was informed of the Jockey clubs finding and of his employers final decision and agreed it probably was the best course.
 There was no rehearng of Shilling old case before the Jockey club and there will be none. It will be remembered Shilling was ruled off for holding a horses bridle rein in a race in Maryland Commander Ross, through the Maryland Raclng c0mnl1SSion, obtained an in1unc- tion to restrain the Maryland Jockey club from keeping Shilling on the ground but Ross at the last, realizing what se- rious consequences would result. did not take advantage of his injunction.
 At today's meeting the Maryland Jockey club was represented by W. P. Riggs The Maryland Racing commission was represented by George Brown, Jr.
 After the Maryland racing season at Bowie ends, November 30 the first of several conferences between the Mary land State Racing commission members and the stewards of the Jockey club will be held. Out of these conferences it is expected that there will come a much broader understanding of turf matters in general turf law. turf decisions and the reason for them. This understanding will be a bar to further mischief and propa- ganda such as was poured into the Mary land Racing commission by the friends and packers of Carroll Shilling.
 As a result also there will be no fur ther conflict to threaten the harmony of racing rules anywhere.
 Before racing in the Maryland and New York centers being in 1921, it is ex- pected that all present knots will oe united and the lines laid so that no more tangles will occur.

Alabama ha. one championship
CLARK SEEMS TO HAVE
 CLAIM TO PREP TITLE

From down in the southern part of the state Clark county comes forth with seemingly strong claim to the Alabama state high school chanpion- ship.
 It seems that Clark has defeated all the teams of that section of the country and, furthermore, has method by which she can prove herself stronger than some of the leading elevens.. Fer instance:
 Cl9rk defeated Mobile High school by three touchdowns. Sidney Lanier defeated the same by one touchdown, which would lead one to believe that Clark is two touchdowns stronger than Sidney Lanier. Now, Lanier lied Bessemer, which tied Central and Bes- semer, So as the Clark fans claim, the Clarke County team is two touch- downs stronger than three of the states leading high schools, Central, Bessemer and Albertville. Of course, little reliance. can be placed in this comparison, as the well-known method of comparative scores is seldom to be relied upon. Nevertheless, at present Clark seems to have as strong a claim as anyone.

Auburn was eliminated three weeks ago by this self same Georgia eleven, and the defeat of University marked the last chance of our native state of landing the title
 Even if Auburn defeats the mighty Tech Thursday. she will not be con sldered a strong contender for the championship. Georgia's victory ever Auburn seemed tobe a clean-cut one, and any victory which the Plainsmen might win will only go to strengthen Georgia's claim to the title.
 Alabama hasn't another chance ;o re- deem herself. The Crimsons close lteir season here Thursday with Mssiss .opi A. and M, and victory over the Ag~ gies will not help one way or another.
