Tommy Weston Tells The Story.
How A Jockey's Native Shrewdness Brought A
Dope Gang To Justice
London, Oct. 6.
A jockey's native shrewdness, backed by an English nobleman's love of animals, outwitted and brought to justice a powerful continental gang which made a fortune doping race-horses,
The gang worked swiftly and boldly. But the jockey was as quick-witted as they and "beat them to the post"..
The jockey was Tommy Weston, Yorkshire-born winner of 11 Turf classic races, including the Derby twice, who, before he retired from the saddle at the end of the 1949 flat-racing season, had been concerned in most of the events which have made racing history since 1921. The nobleman was the

The second was the two-hour 8-6, 8-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 victory of 24-year-old Pancho Gonzales over 31-year-old Jack Kramer in the final of the World's Indoor Professional Lawn Tennis Championships at Wembley....

RACEHORSE OWNERS SPEAK UP FOR THE TRAINERS
London, Oct. 6.
A less stringent penalty may be applied to British racehorse trainers whose horses have been doped if a re- commendation by the Racehorse Owners' Association is followed.
The Association, which represents more than 700 owners, has suggested to the Jockey Club that stewards should be permitted to administer a less stringent penalty "where appropriate.”
