All-Star Boxers In Final Workout Today For Contest At Local Club Young Ball Players Crave To Be "Babe Few Pitchers Are Being Developed By GEORGE CHADW1CK (Special Correspondent of The Time Copyright, 192S). New York, Nov. 17. "What ails the present generation of yoting ball players? Once all of them wanted to be pitcher.

Now there are no pitchers among them they all are crazy to be Babe Ruths." Thi is the sad plight of a tnan who has studied the making np of baseball teams for many years, and who has scouted and purchased many players in his time.

la what probably was the closest, moat thrilling finish in the history of the American turf, Zev, winner of tha Kentucky derby and conqueror of Papyrus, reversed the victory Jn scored at Latonia two weeks ago, 'bp defeating him by a scant nose in a match race at one and one-quarter miles at Churchhill Downs Saturday. The hurricane finish was so elosa that scarcely a spectator in a crowd of 40,000 persons, with tha possible exception of Harry F. Sinclair, owner of the winner, realised that Zev had won, until tha official decision of the judges had been posted. The climax of tha race furnished a thrill that set the crowd wild with excitement as almost every one thought that In Memoriam had triumphed, as the two great three-year-old rivals floundered into the wire, racing neck-an-neck, with scarcely an inch separating their noses. Trained observers, with years of experience in watching close finishes, shouted that In Memoriam had won.

but received the shock of their lives a second later when the judges posted Zev as the winner. The race was won in 2:08 3-5, three and two-fifths seconds slower than the track record for the distance established by Woodtrap in 1912, but Woodtrap did not carry the impost of 1-6 pounds that both In Memoriam and Zev carried today. Zev, as a result of his victory, becomes the greatest money winning race horse in tha world. Owner Sinclair took down $25,000 of today's $30,000 purse, swelling Zev'a winnings to $301,073, which shoved him ahead of the winnings 'of the two English cracks, Isinglass with and Donovan with $277,215. VIRTUALLY OV DEAD LINE.

Louisville, Nov. 17 Newspaper photographs of the Zev-Tn Memoriam match at Churchhill Downs today shows the heads of the two horses are on practically a dead line with In Memoriam having a fraction tha better of it, if anything. Spectators on the finish line contended that In Memoriam's nose was projected farther than Zev's at the line of finish. The newspaper photographs aeem to bear out this conclusion. The photographs, besides showing In Memoriam to be a fraction of a nose in the lead 18 inches from the wire, show one of his forefeet as just having hit the track and his body lurching forward from the impact of tha stride, while 7yv's corresponding foot is on its downward motion and cannot hove given him an added impetus on the final jump before both crossed the wire.

Gophers Down Iowa on Homecoming Day Minneapolis, Nov. 17. Mln-nesota'a flashing gridiron eleven, playing with a dash that rolled back the years for thousands of "old grads" participating in the homecoming day celebration, downed the hard fighting Iowa team here today, 20 to 7. TEXARKANA HIGH WIN'S. Spriul la The Tlmra.

Texarkana, Texas, Nor. 17. Tex-arkana, Texas, high school won the championship of district 6 Saturday afternoon by defeating Marshall, Texas, here 6 to 0. Texarkana has been ordered to play Livingston next vreek, as Livingston is champion of its district. Both teams this afternoon played clean football.

Marshall supporters came to Texarkana on a special train. White and Lawrence only because they resulted in touchdowns. Ferrall's running back of kick-offs and punts was brilliant, he covering as much as 40 yards at times before being stopped. Letteer on two occa-aions showed a hurtt of speed that put the enemy far in the rear. A fluke kick in the closing minute of play gave tha Gentlemen a big chance to score their sixth touchdown, but the local first atring men were out of play and the "seconds" couldn't get through.

Centenary moved the ball down to the Pirates one-yard line, but lost it on downs. Magce punted, but the bal! went out of line on tha 10-yard line. Again the Pirates held and Centenary lost the bail. Magee punted to 30-yard line and Hill signaled for fair catch, but misled the ball. Letteer tried a pass, but the ball was inlercepted by Magee and the game ended with the ball in Southwvstern's possession.

The slow start of the Gentlemen took the edge off the game in the early sessions, but with the regulars in play more pep injected into the battle. There was always plenty of fight in the game, though, and as a result of a mix-iip "Sloppy" F.lls-worth, subbing for Cal Hubbard at tackle, was forced out of plcy with an injured leg. So serioualy is he hurt that it is frarcd he may be out of play the remainder of the season. Ellsworth claims he was "cut down from behind'' by a Texas player. The Gentlemen several times protested to the of "clipping" by the visitors, and Coach McMillin once took the field and said the "cutting down'' would have to ceac and his players furnished some sort of protection from the alleged tactics.

The injury to Ellsworth cut deeply Into the Gentlemen, but they continued their play according to tli laws specified in the rule book. Centenary scored seven points In th second quarter, 14 in the third and 13 in the last period. They completed three out of eight trials at forward parsing, while the Pirates scared by th McMUlinitei cams on long rons, that veraged from 86 to yards, tha other two six point markers being wad only after repeated trials on straight football and open field play. ()na of these touchdowns was mad possible on a 80-yard pass by "Mexico" Ferrall and Sam York whose works stood out very prominently for tha locals all during tha time they war in the play. Twice during the closing minutes ef tha play tha Gantlemen were the shadow of tha Pirates' goal line, and each time lost tha ball on downs.

Tha Pirates displayed a tower of strength, several other times tn the line and as a result, Ferrall and Hill, of the Gentlemen, wera forced into a punting duel witk Royal, Pirate quarterback, who furnished about the stroncst opposition for tha visitors. The Gentlemen failed to make a first down in tha opening period but they were once handicapped by a penalty for being Southwestern made two first downs, despite two penal-. ties ef 18 yards each for holding. Ferrall, Letteer, and Hill furnished the long sprints that thrilled the spectators and made Centenary's victory a certainty. Ferrall's dash Was the longest, and was for 6o yards and scored the third touchdown.

"Mexico" received the kick-eff, after tha second touchdown, on tha five-yard line and ran the ball back SO yards. On the next play he atarted into the line and seeing li is way blocked reeled about and start-; ad around the enemy's left side of t'ae field and calling on all his reserve speed side stepped the Pirates safety roan and raced on to the goal line. Hill came through with a spectacular run after catching a pant from Royal on the 35-yard line, and stopped only after he had placed tha ova! between the goal poaU. He had clear path down the enemy's right side of tha field and hugging close to tha boundary line when straight as an arrow for a score. Lattear's run was in keeping with those of Ferrall and Hill.

He recov- ered a bad paaa on the 45-yard line, nd docking a coupla of tackles, cut serosa the field to the left side and oat-ran the opposition. After each touchdown excepting one Weaver kicked goal. The first ac'oring for tha Gentleman came after Coach McMillin re- i placed bia second strong backfield i wit tha regulars. Anderson, Stone, Hill and Miller started in tba positions back of the line for tba Gen- if tlemen but it was not long before McMillin atarted changing. White was sent in for Stone and after the aecond play in the second half Let- teer Ferrall and Lawrence were sent 1 in for Anderson, Hill and Miller.

i Ferrall gave the Piratea a taste of football playing. After the 1 loeala had obtained the ball on the 45-yard line from a punt, Ferrall tore into the enemy's front wall and plowed his way through for a seven-I yard gain. The team snapped back into play in quick fashion and Fer-, rail tor another hole through the line for seven yards more and the first down. The Pirates closed in to atop Ferrall's rush, but "Max" crossed them tip and sneaked over a 30-yard pas to York, who put the ball on the Pirate's five-yard line. I.etteer tried the line for little gain.

Then Ferrall took tha ball on a wide aweep of the enemy'a right end and scored a touchdown. Weaver kicked goal. Milter also found several holes in the Pirate's line at a critical moment I but they were all for short gains but finally resulted in a touchdown as his team was five yards away from tha goal posts when ha started his battering ram tactics. Four times Mil- ler hit the line for the gain. This touchdown was made possible by a 40-yard run by White, "who reversed Ms field, and picking his way, placed tne call on the ten-yard line.

Fer- rail and Weaver worked a five-yard pass when the team snapped into ac-J tion quickly, as Weaver hid out on the far end of the line. Before the opposition spotted Jim he had the oval in his hands, but was caught after the short gain. It was then Mille rstarted his lino plunging. I Tha Gentlemen seemed to lack a bit of their vim at times, but they showed plenty of speed in recovering from bad plays and making up ground loss on several occasion. On two occasions bad passes almost re-' aulted in big losses but they were turned into galna when the locals scooped up the ball and charged on.

On two occasions backfield men trip- ped behind tha line of scrimmage and lost ground, and on one occasion lost the ball when tackled. Thle acora was even, though, for ear-i liar in tha game York intercepted a paas on his own 15-yard line, and moved up to the line. Bopal, at quarterback, was the out- standing star for the Pirates. He lived up to his reputation as a triple threat man and in the first quarter his team gained ground when tie en- gaged tha locals in a punting duel. Southwestern furnished their first i scare when Royal and Watterson worked a 15-yard pass.

The visitors' first dawn was obtained as a result of penalty by Centenary being side. With tha front lines almost oven in weights, the eonteit for a greater part of the game was a battle of the 4 men forming tha front wall. The for- wards put up strong struggles, but 1 tba local had the margin. They mada four first down on drives through the line, with Eton showing I plenty of ability and picking holes I mada fcy bia team mates. Two ef the three first downs by Texas were made on forward passes, another on 4 a penalty.

"Red" Lawrence, the star of the Boston eolleg game, flashed brll- llantly and matched the runs made by Letteer, Hill, White and Ferrall when ha made 80 ysrrU by skirting toward tba right aide of tha field, carrying four Pirates on his back, iWora going down.

By JOE R. CARTER Fistic warrior who make tip the all-star boxing show at the Shreveport Athletic club Monday night put the finishing touches to their training this afternoon with light workout in the Pierre avenue arena. The ending of the training will mark a week's hard work here for at least five of the boxer on the card Johnny McCoy, Grady Franklin, Chuck Burns, Frankie McFarland and Frankie Fink. Mutt McKee, the Oklahoma bantam, ha been late arriving from his home. Johnny McCoy, th "Cleveland Skeeter," and ilcKeo, ara booked to appear in tha final contest of Monday evening's program.

McCoy has made three starts here in the last few weeks and has been an easy winner in each event. On strength of these performances he will rule favorite over McKee, who is little known in this section not boxing in Louisiana in almost two years. McKee holds victories over Kid Williams and Bobby Hughea and ia ratud as a "high powered" artiat by the fan of Oklahoma. Added inducement is being offered for the winner in the form of a match with Kid Pancho in San Antonio, Texas. McCoy yesterday received an offer from Jack Bhelton to box Pancho provided he ia the winner, with the understanding that the same offer goes to McKee should he romp home in front.

McCoy is also angling for a bout with Kid Carlin in New Orleans, and thia mill also hangs on the outcome of bis meeting with McKee. "Chuck" Burns, the Txa yrrang-ster, who meets Grady Franklin in th aecond 10-round bout, haa won his way to popularity by hi performances in his workouts, and be will probably carry plenty of backing to trim the Shreveport boy. Burns, like Franklin, baa net yet reached tha 21-year-old mark, but is strong, rugged and a heavy puncher. He has boxed Tommy Freejnan, Billy Brown, Kid Dugan, all of Memphis, and well known in Shreveport. He has also boxed Dummy Mahan, Freddy Roth and a few other tough 150 pounders.

Franklin ha been working hard all week and any he will be in good shape to travel 10 fast rounds. His last contest wa a win over Young Stanley last Monday night. Frankie Fink and Frankie McFar-land will meet in the 10round opener and this contest will mark a newcomer against an experienced mltt-man. Only in tha last 10 months has Fink forged to tha front while McFarland has performed with some success for the last three years. McFarland was rated highly as a boxer while in the army and engaged in many contests representing nia company.

After his discharge from the army ha atarted in tha professional game. Promoter Foster ha had arpent-eri at work at th boxing club thi week making several changes in th reserved seat section. Back rests have been placed on the benches in the first three rows. at left tackle furnished plenty of oppoaition for the local linemen. The linc-up: Southwestern Centenary Perrin Weaver Left End.

1 This doleful aeont said be had traveled thousands of miles during the last season, looking especially for pitchers. Th results of his tour, he declared, were practically nil, "In th old days the day of Christy Mathewson and his contemporaries he continued, "I could go into the minor leagues and even into the smaller towns that had no minor leagues, and seldom come away without seeing at least one pitcher that was too good for the company be was in. "But I give yon my word that I haven't been in a town all this last summer in which I found a pitcher to whom I could give a Class recommendation, but here i what I did find: "Score of young ball players studying all the photographs they could get of Babe Ruth. Natural right-handed batters trying to hit the ball left-handed and develop the Ruth pose at the plate. They even tried to copy hia walk, if they had seen him, and some of them were trying to throw with their left arms when all their lives they had never exercised their left arms except to bring wood in from the shed.

For ring ill I know, some of them probably stood before their mirror at night trying to see if they couldn't grow black hair and eyebrows like Ruth. "The kid generation of ball players has gone crazy over Ruth. Most of the boys think a pitcher can't hit, so they don't want to pitch. They want to be outfielder and hit home runs. With them, the bitter ia mightier than the hurler.

"Go back with me a few years. Mathewson was in bis prime. McGin-nity was the iron man. Mordecaui Brown was so well known as 'Three Fingered Brown' that mothers had to watch their young sons to make sure they didn't cut off the extra digit. Wherever you went, you found the small boy and the big boy trying to throw the I went into one small town in North Carolina and there found a young player who afterward went North and made some reputation.

His name was llearne. I went further South and found a pitcher by the name of Rucker. Guess you beard of him with the Brooklyn club. It was hard to find a young ball player in thosa days who had ambition to anything but a pitcher. "But I'm blessed if you can find them now that is, th pitcher who ia a pitcher plus, the kind the major leagues are looking for.

This year I was down in a little town in Ten-1 nessee. It had been reported to me that there was an infielder on the town nine who might be worth look-1 ing at. Lucky I struck a day on which there was a ball game. "I eat in the stand next to the champion fan of the village. Hn told 1 the family history of the first five! I home team and believe him or not I every one of the five needed only! a chance to prove himself a Babe I Ruth.

And I think all of them had, tne same idea in tneir neaust judging from the conversation I had with, them after the game.
