MIAMI, Feb. 15.-Don Meade
the turf's bad boy of few years
ago, has failed in his latest move
to obtain a trainers license.
The Florida State Racing
Commission voted unanimously
yesterday to deny the 41-year-
old Meade a license in spite OF
pleas from Meade's tall, statu-
esque wife and from Saul Silber-
man, owner of Tropical Park.
II do not believe in life SEN
tences for racing infractions,
said Silberman, who added he
felt Meade should be given an
other chance.
j. SaXton Lloyd. commission
chairman, said he was synpa-
thetic to Meade as an individual
but that the commissions res
possibility was to protect the in
terests of racing, not the indi-
vidual.
Lloyd cited the record showing
Meade wagered in some instances
on horses other than his own
mount in the same races.

afternoon the heavyweight
champion may have an idea
whether his precious proboscis
can stand a good stiff punch.
Rocky is going to box four
rounds in an "all out" session
with sparmate Keene Simmons
in his camp at the Grossinger
Country Club.
It's been five months since
Rocky had the left side Of his
nose sliced down to the tip in
his eight-round knockout Of Ez-
zard Charles. And nobody, in
cluding Rocky, knows what's
going to happen when the mil
lion-dollar nose gets hit with a
solid punch.
The undefeated Brockton
Bomber is plenty worried about
it all and well he should be.
His future hinges on the out

sibly a few others. If the nose
rips open again. Rocky will have
to take a long layoff or even
may have to quit the ring en-
tirely.

Rabbit Hunters Let Loose
Dangerous European Pests

COLUMBIA - A dangerous
animal pest-the European or
San Juan rabbit - has been
brought unwittingly into the
State by rabbit hunters wishing
to restock their hunting lands
and Director A. A. RichaI dson
OF the Wildlife Resources De-
partment has urged that all fur
Their importations be stopped.
The San Juan rabbit is al
most identical to the native cot
tontail in appearance but has
one habit that makes it d seri-
Gus agricultural pest as well as
reducing its sporting possibili-
ties. This rabbit burrows il the
ground and once a good popula-
ton is established it is almost
impossible to kill them off, Stree
they are relatively safe from
hunters, dogs and predatorS, and
they are just as prolific as the
Icottontail.
Another danger is that horses
or cattle may step in the holes
and break a leg.
This is the same rabbit that
has caused so much damage in
Australia, where even a ,O00-
mile rabbit-proff fence across
the continent failed to 7Stop its
spread. In England it is estimat-
ed that the rabbit does $780,
100000 in crop damage every
year despite stringent control
measures.
Mr.. Richardson said that at
the coming session of the Cen
eral Assembly he would urge
legislation to prohibit the i'm
portation of this rabbit, or any
other non-native animal, bird or
fish without permit from the
