Widespread Demands For Overnight Declaration Of Runners Disapproved

By AUBREY HIGGS

London, Oct. 3.

The stewards of the Jockey Club, the turf's ruling body in Britain, have turned down widespread demands for the introduction of overnight declaration of runners. Their decision has come as a blow to multitudes of off-the-course punters.

For years there has been discontent among these little backers up and down the country over the ever in- creasing number of winning horses not listed among the probable runners in the morning newspapers. So far this season more than 30 races have been won by "surprise"

Club Directors Indignant Over Len Shackleton's Blank Chapter

By ARCHIE QUICK

Up in the Potteries in grimy Burslem, one of the Four Towns of the Black Country made famous by Arnold Bennett, they are indignant over that blank chapter in Len Shackleton's book the chapter headed "The Average Club Director's Know- ledge of Football". Mr Jack Difin, one of the Board, said to me, "Shackleton ought to come here and see what the, Directors do to keep two dozen or so of his brother- professionals in employment."

Port Vale's side is almost entirely composed of local playera, and Mr Dimin points out that it was mostly the Directora who went out and scouted for those players. They have many more Potteries' lads coming along.
