FIVE RIDERS REFUSED
LICENSE IN KENTUCKY
BY the Associated Press.

by JHS ASSOClateu EESso'
LEXINGTON, KY, May 1.-Five
Jockeys We're refused license, two ap-
plicationst were tabled and seven 9th
er riders were granted probationary
license by the Kentucky Racing Com
mission, the report of les licer4se COM
mittee, made public today, disclosed.
Three Jockeys and four owners had
been barred on March 20 result of
disclosure of an alleged Jockey ring.
Jockey Donald Mergler, whose confess
sion resulted in the breaking up Of the
ring, was reinstated today. He and
Joe A. Mooney had been ruled off last
Fall.
The Jockeys who were refused
licenses were Danny Connolly. Willie
Fronk. Walter Taylor, Henry King
and Walter Lilley. The applications
of Fl. Lunsford and S. McGraw were
tabled.
Probationary licenses were granted
to Mack Garner, E. Pool, E. Scobie.
J. Kederis. j. H. Burke, J. Peupel
and N. Barrett. The stewards were
directed to notify the Jockeys that
any derelictions or misconduct. such
as intoxication, negligence in report
ing to fill engagements or absence
from the saddle for an indefinite
period will result in their licenses
being terminated
The names of the jockeys who were
denied license were contained in q re-
port of the committee, submitted more
than a week ago. 1t was said on
good authority that the first report
would have barred even more jockeys
than that finally approved by the
racing commission.
The denial of licenses in most cases,
it is believed, resulted from an in
vestigation conducted during the past
Winter by representative of the rae
ing commission of an alleged jockey
ring that, according to Mergler's con
fession. operated on Kentucky tracks
last season. The others were refused
licenses for various infractions of the

TO PETWORTH TEAM

ALEXANDRIA. Va, May 1.-The
Dreadnaught- -Petworth game here to-
morrow heads a sandlot base ball card
that may well be called the best pre-
sented by the local managers this
year.
The teams will settle their differ
ences at the Dreadnaught Park start

Driver probably will start for the
local semi-pro outfit, although Ike
Dreifus, a left handler, may be sent
to the mound by Manager Carroll.
Ranking next I'm importance to the
Dreadnaught game will be the battle
between the Kenilworth A. e. of
Washington and the Cardinal A. G. of
