FIGHT COMMISSION
STAMPS APPROVAL
ON BUDD’BURRIS ROW
Full approval of the boxing commis
sion has been given ,for next Thursday
night’s title bout at the Victoria thea
ter* when "Battling" Budd, ot Atlanta,
will defend his title in an eight-round
bout with Ken Burris, the Dry Pond
sandlotter, and idol of light ■ fans.
Transportation was forwarded Budd’s
manager yesterday and the champion
will arrive in the city at least 24 Jiours
before the bout, with his manager ac
companying him.
Budd is admittedly the class of Jthe
south and has only fought in North
Carolina very few times. However, he
has never been defeated in the state
and^has lost few bouts anywhere.
The ticket sale started at Starkey &
Kerr’s billiard parlor yesterday and In
dications are that the house will sell
out. 'The entire theater is checked and
one can buy tickets in any., .part of the
house they care to without any ad
vance in the admission price. BAngsides
will be limited, hoivever, and those who
expect to occupy Chairs on the stage
will do well to secure them early.
Burris has settled down to hard
training and will go into the ring in
perfect condition. He is obliged %o
make the welterweight limit in this
instance, 147 pounds, since the bout is
for the title of the state.
YALE CHEWS TIGER
TO TATERS, 27 TO 0,
BEFORE 80,000 FANS
Bull 'Dog Chases Jungle Cat
From One End of Field
to Other ,
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 17.—The
Bull Dog today chewed the Tiger to
tatters, taking 27 bites and escaping
without a scratch.
This zoological paradox was enactea
In the Yale bowl with some 80,000
spectators massed tor the 15th anni
versary of the first football game ever
played between Yale and Princeton,
the longest series existing in the his
tory of college football.
The tenacious Bull Dog pursued the
jungle beast up and down the field
from start to finish, but the tiger did
not take it tamely. Three time's it
turned and fought back savagely, but
never once was it able to carry the
I ball closed to the Yale goal than the
! 24 yard line. It was a game team, but
from the very first few minutes of
! play it was evident It also was a
beaten one.
The hard hitting Yale eleven, un
defeated this season, took the upper
hand soon after the first whistle and
scared on the Orange and Black in
every period. Its total of 27 points
was the greatest margin of victory
ever obtained in its 5«-year-old feud
I with Princeton, except that wrested
| from the Tiger in 189.0 when the Blue
| rolled up a tally of 32 to 0.
Three touchdowns with resultant
| points, and two field goals gave Yale
, its victorious total.
Ygle first crossed the Tiger goal line
in the first period when "Ducky” Pond,
the plunging half back, dashed over
the mark on the last of a series of
line plays following a beautifully ex
ecuted forward pass that netted 40
yards. This pass, hurled by Neale to
Lyle Richeson, the clever field general,
who journeyed up from New Orleans
to play quarterback for Yale, was the
only thing outside of straight football
that the Blue displayed to any visiting
stouts from Harvard, gazing wfht' in
terested eye on today’s play. Captain
Mallory ^kicked another point in the
Yale tally sheet after this touchdown,
and " in the second period sent two
drop kicked whistling over the
Princeton goal posts.
In both cases he.stood close to the
■Tigers 25 yard line. Yale’s second and
third touchdowns were made by Newell
Neldlinger, with Mallory making one
of the points after touchdown and
Stevens, Kansas line plunger, the
other. Neiailnger’s first toudhdown
came after Diller Burley, Yale guard,
had recovered a fumble by Van Ger
big, Princeton’s star back. A Prince
ton forward pass, intercepted by
Stevens, paced the way for the last
score in the filial period.
It was a frenzied Tiger that faced
Yale today. Defeated by Notre Dame
and Harvard, with everything to win
and nothing to lose, the Sons of Old
Nassau opened their entire bag of
tricks. But they were not tricks
enough and they had no offensive suf
ficient to make more than a few
smodic gains against the blue. The
i Tiger eleven was outclassed, out
maneuvered and out guessed at nearly
every, stage of the game.

OVER MEMORIAM;
FINISH VERY CLOSE
Colts Race Down Neck and
, Neck With Scarcely a Nose
Separating Them
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov. 18 (By the
Associated Press)—In what probably
was the closest, most thrilling finish
in the history of the American turf,
Zev, winner of the Kentucky derby,
and conqueror of Papyrus, reversed the
victory In Memorlam scored at Latonla
two weeks ago, by defeating him by a
scant nose In a match race at one and
one-quarter miles at Churchill Downs
today.
The finish was so close that hard
ly a spectator in a crowd of 40,000
persons, with the possible exception of
Harry F. Sinclair, owner of the win
ner realized Zev had won, until the of
ficial decision of the judges., had been
posted.
The climax- of the. race furbished a
thrill that set the crowd wild with ex
citement as almost every one thought
In Memoriam had, .triumphed as the
two great three year Old rivals flash
ed into the wire, racing.neck and neck
noses. ^ : ■,
Trained observers, with years of ex
perience, in watching close finishee
Bhoutpd that In' Memoriam, had won'
but received the shock of their lives
a second loiter when the Judges posted
Zev as the winner. The finish, in the
opinion of turf experts was so clos6
that the race could have been called a
dead heat, and not provoke an argu.
(nent from admirers of either horse.
The race was won- in 2:08 3-5, three
and two-fifths seconds slower than the
track'record for the distance establish
ed by Wood Trap-in .1921 but Wood
Trap did not carry the impost of 125
pounds that both In Memoriam and
Zev carried today:
Zev, as a result .of his victory be
comes the greatest money winning race
horse in the world. Owner Sinclair took
down *26,000 of today’s *30,000 purse,
swelling Zey’s winnings to *301,000
which ; Shoved him ahead of the win
