New York, Nov. 16.—Horse racing
people are overdoing the match race
matter.
Presently the same situation will
develop—If It has not already de
veloped—that exists in baseball with
reference to the home run.
The cupidity of the baseball mag
nates was aroused by the way cus
tomers turned out to see Babe Ruth
lilt home runs.
There was only one Babe Ruth at
the peak of public Interest In home
running. The magnates thought
they could manufaeture a llabe
Ruth for eaeh city on the circuit.
So they livened up the baseball.
Soon quite ordinary hitters had be
come home run sluggers. The home
run became as common as the two
base hit.
Instead of adding to public interest
in home running the magnates found
that they had rohhed the home run,
the big event of a baseball game, of
Its novelty.
They found that they had given the
public too much home running. Now
they are trying to devise ways and
means of checking the home run
epidemic.
The horse racing magnates have
heretofore bec*n rather sparing of
their match races. One big race of
this sort every two or three years
was a fair Average.
Then August Belmont, a gentle
man who seems to have every in
stinct of good showmanship, con
reived the international mutch
race. Papyrus, the Rnclish horse,
against the best American 3-year
old.
Tliis race aroused great public in
terest, gave horse racing tremend
ous publicity. Had it been ar
ranged on lines of strict SPORTS
MANSHIP, as originally planned, it
would have been an even greater
event.
The success of the international
match race, like the success of Babe
Ruth's hitting, attracted the atten
tion of other horse racing magnates.
The match race became common.
The Zev-My Own-In Memoriam race,
which amounted to a match race,
though originally a regularly sched
uled stake race, was followed by the
Happy Thoughts-Parazen race. Now
comes the Zev-In Memoriam race.
Horse owners are challenging
right and left. Raring associations
are bidding for different match
races. And in the meantime the
public that took a deep interest in
flic international match race is
commencing to view the match
race with lack-lustre eyes.
The busines-s side of sport makes
the mistake of overdoing things more
than any other business.
Boxing Is feeling the reaction
from the overdoing of last summer,
when we had a big outdoor cham
pionship show nearly every week
Indoor shows are not drawing as
well as last winter. The boxing pub
lic, wearied of the one continued
round of pugilistic pleasure of the
summer months, is now taking a rest,
i greatly to the distress of pugilistic
promoters.
Lincoln High Faces Hard Test
Lincoln, Nov. 16.—Lincoln' High
school faces Us hardest game of the
season today in the clash here
with Omaha Central high tomorrow.
The contest has resolved Into a state
title meet, as the winner of this
game will undoubtedly win recogni
tion as state football champion.
Central had a narrow shave last
week when Kearney sprung a sur
prise and the Omaha squad was a
scant and scared winner. Lincoln had
a similarly close call against York
last week, as the Red and Black line
failed to hold.
A crowd of 7,000 persons will wit
ness the game, according to pre-game
estimates.
Johnny Kilbane
and Dunn Kiss;
Old Feud Ends
I»rain, O., Nof. Ifi.—Johnny Kil
bane, former featherweight king, and
Jimmy Dunn, his former manager,
have hissed and made up, ending one
of the bitterest feuds in the sport
world. Kilbane’s summer cauip is lo
cated near l-oraiu.
Mr. and MV. Jimmy Dunn were
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kilbane last
night at the camp, according to Leo
.Amee, old-time fighter and Kilbane’s
<loso friend, who was also a guest
at the camp. Johnny and Dunn con
firmed the re|s>rt today.
“Jimmy is not such a had fellow,”
said Kilbane. “Yep, life’s too short to
quarrel and Johnny is a real fellow,”
Dunn stated. The feud between the
two started five years ago oyer Kil
bane’s illfhtisl political aspirations in
Cleveland.

Game Feature
lly Ansnclatrd Preats.
New York, ^'ov. 16.—The meeting
of ancient rivals—Yale and Princeton,
Syracuse and Colgate, Pennsylvania
and Penn State, Pittsburgh and
Washington and Jefferson—feature
today's program of eastern college
football.
The Yale Princeton engagement,
marking the 56th anniversary of their
first gridiron battle, outranks all in
general interest and will Ire witnessed
by close to 80,000 in the Yale bowl,
most colossal athletic structure in
the country. The rival teams have
been specially primed for this contest
and although Yale's all-conquering
record might Indicate otherwise, a
closely-fought battle, with the winner
in doubt until late in the game is the
expectation of many close students
of football play.
The Yale game concludes Prince
ton’s 1923 season and the Tigers, hav
ing suffered defeats from Notre Dame
and Harvard and been tied by the
Navy, will make a desperate effort
to atone, in part at least, for their
disastrous campaign. Superiority In
kicking is expected to give the Tigers
a potent advantage.
Yale, however, is not the only un
defeated combination which will be
confronted by difficult opposition, for
Syracuse in opposing Colgate for the
26th time, will meet a worthy foe.
