i ] ; AMERICAN TRAINER SHUT OUT Jockey Club Refuses Newmarket Permit to Edward Johncon— M. Field Affected. LONDON, Fnglanl, April 6.— The Jockey Club has barred Eidward Johnson, an American trainer, from Newmarket Heath. The ruling virtually puts him out of business and he is "broke." He was connected with the wealthy American owners, Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Rudd, who have not been successful in raei ::g here, but stick to the sport year in and year out. Johnsons establishment was Fthelreda House, Exiling, Newmarket. The ruling leaves the place without horses. The aatab-• at was recently as good as sold to the Indian turfman GocuMaa, whose trainer, J. H. Crawford, was to establish himself there, but the Jockey Club would not allow even this license to be transferred. The Jockey Club ha:", also refused a Ucsnae to Captain Boyd Roehfort, who wanted it to tr:;;:i Marsha!] Fields horasa. When Sir fandracst Casseli ditd, Boyd liochfort naturally applied f a* a license. The Jockey Club turiiLd him down ; Hugh Powney lias the license, he stuck to it and naturally asm sticks to Marshall Fields horses. Nobody can have horses trained at Newmarket until the trainer lias submitted his name to the Jockey Club for approval. This i3 the same rule that caused Fd Corrigan, the Chicago racing man, to be virtually barred from English racing, and the application of which was really an order for Richard Croker to get out of English racing and go away from Newmarket the year after Orbys victory in the Epsom Derby of 1907.
