SAM HILDRETH DENIES TALE

Was Not Refused License to Race Horses In England Because He Had Not Applied for One. 1 -/ i Sam C. Hildreth, the veteran American trainer who went- to England recently, returned on the Lusitania, accdmpanied by Mrs. Hildeth and Carroll T. Shilling, the jockey who went away with him to look over the English tracks and select training quarters. Hildreth denied the report that he had been refused a license to train in England. . “Was such a report published here?” he asked. “I wasn’t refused a license,” said he. “I could not be refused a license be-

cense I did not apply for one. All I *went over for was to look around. There would be no use in taking out a license now, for it would expire at the end of the year. Training licenses in England begin with the first of the calendar year. “I am going back in midwinter some time. I have not decided Just when I shall ship my horses. There is no prospect of jmy going to France until after another season or two. It would be no use to do so exoept with jumpers. By the rules of the French tracks neither American nor British horses can take part except in special races. They have to be heed In France.”
