English Jockey Club
Opens lis Stud Book
To Foreign Horses
by she Assoeioied Press

LONDON, June 16.-The Eng
lish Jockey Club today opened up
its general stud book to foreign
race horses.
In its official Racing Calendar,
the club announced that condi-
tions which have barred non
British bred animals from the
stud book since 1913 have been
rescinded.
It is generally assumed here
that American and French sue
cesses in important British races
forced the hand of the ruling body
Of British horse racing.
BY mutual agreement from 1873
until 1913. horses registered in
either the American or English stud
book were automatically eligible
for the other.
In 1913 American, racing condi-
tions we're at the lowest point In
history. AL New York tracks had
been closed since 1910 due. to a
reform wave, and racing was being
conducted only in a few States.
The breeding industry was almost
ruined and many owners had been
selling their thoroughbred stock In
Europe and South America.
It was then that the British
Jockey Club passed the Jersey Act
which said:
mo horse or mare can, after
this date. be considered as eligible
for admission to the general stud
book unless 1t can be traced with
out flaw on both sire's and dams
side OF its pedigree to horses and
mares themselves already ac-
cepted In the earlier volumes of
the book.
THE editors reserve to them
selves the sole right to decide
what horses and mares can, under
the above qualification. be admit
ed or excluded from the book"
/ Thus all horses not in the book
were regarded as "half-bred. >
American and French breeders
Ihave fought the Jeersey Act for
Years.
French horses won the EPSON
Derby In l947 and 194s. and Black
Tarquin. American bred horse
owned by william Woodward OF
New York, took the classic st
Leger last fall.
| Woodward is chairman OF the
III. S. Jockey Club and is ar
honorary member Of the British
Jockey Club.

the new battle cry of the "Fightin
Phillies'' of Philadelphia.
Shocked by the shooting Of Ed
die Watkins. the star Philly first
baseman. his teammates were de-
termined today to aid the stricken
athlete in a way he would appre-
ciate most. Watkins was shot and
seriously wounded by a girl fan
in a hotel room early yesterday.
I'm sure a batch Of Philly vic
tories would hasten Eds recovery

member of the club said yesterday.
And that's what we aim to do"
The Phillies wasted no time in
carrying out their promise. They
swept double-header from the
Chicago Cubs. Al and 80, to
move into q virtual tie with Bos-
ton for third place In the tight
National League race. -
The twin triumph gave the rhils
four-game winning streak and
q record of 10 victories In their
last 13 games. Actually. the Phils
are in fourth place. 2 percent
age points behind Boston. They
have won one more and lost one
more than the Braves. They trail
the first-place Brooklyn Dodgers
by only three games.
Castoffs Stop Cubs.
Kenny Heintzelman and Hank
Borowy, a pair Of castoffs, allowed
only one run between them as
each gave up only five hits.
Heintzelman won his seventh
game in the opener and Borowy
notched his sixth in the night
cap. Borowy. however. needed

Robin Roberts. who took over
