Zen Develops Mango andk
Not Likely to Race Papyrus
Epidemic of Malady at
Belmont Park Race Track
Claims International
CHOICE to Represent
America-My Own Being
Hurried to Track.
by the Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 19.-Zev has devel-
oped skin malady akin TO mango.
which is likely to prevent the Ran
cocas colt from carrying America
colors in the 100000 race with Papy.
rus tomorrow, it was learned today.
The Jockey Clubs race committee,
however, after inspecting the horse,
indicated it would withhold decision
pending arrival of My Own which has
been shipped here prepared to take
Zev's place il necessary.
The malady affecting Zev has as.
sumed the proportions of an epidemic
at Belmont Park where three barns
have been hit and every precaution
is being taken to prevent it reaching
the stable where Papyrus, the English
derby winner, is located.
just how seriously Zev has been af.
flicted could not be learned. THE colt
was worked half mile in II 3-5 sec
onds. by Jockey Laverne Eater this
morning. but Trainer Sam Hildreth
admitted he was worried over his
charges condition.
Are Frankly Dubious.
The Jockey Clubs committee, head
cd by Maj August Belmont thorough
ly inspected Zev after the workout and
while frankly dubious over the colts
declined to say what course
would be taken.
Major Belmont told interviewers
that he and his associates would defer
definite decision until the arrival OF
My Own late in the day.
With prospects of 4 wet track the
ace committee faced further prob
lem in making a possible change. il
was pointed out. for My Own is moi
rcputed to be good mud horsc"
while both Zev and Papyrus have
shown winning ability under adverse
track conditions. 1t was raining
steadily at the track this morning.
Cuts Short Careers.
The malady affecting Zcv and other
horses at the Belmont track was said
to be similar to disease which has
cut short the racing careers of sew
eral noted horses. Among them was
Inchcape. S150,000 imported colt.
which was destroyed some time ago in
a fire that swept the Rancocas stables.
Papyrus with Steve Donoghue up
and accompanied by Bar Gold, a
stable mate. had light jog about the
track this morning.

This Golf Story From
the Riuer Nile Riuals
Tales of Ring Lardner

Paris, Oct. 19.-One of the
queerest golf stories of the season
is told by Col. Robert NJ. Thomp-
son, president of the American
Olympic committee. who has just
sailed for home after attending TO
some of the details for the forth
coming International games here.
The colonel and his Soudanese
b0dyguard were sailing down the
Nile from KhartOum at the time
when the river was very low, aud
their paddle wheeler was forced to
stop many times awaiting a rise
in the water. On these occasions
the colonel, who never travels with
out his golf clubs, would alight
on the shores, accompanied by his
SOudanese valet, and play few
holes. natives setting up poles sur
mounted by red handkerchiefs ct
varying distances 10 mark the i'm
provised holes. The colenel and
the black boy then would drive
over the natural sand bunkers. and
the man from Timbuctoo developed
his game until he could give the
white man very good fight III
deed.
The other natives soon caught
onto the game and after a few
days the colonel noticed that they
were gambling on every hole. After
a particularly brilliant drive over
a little wooded oasis the colonel
was annoyed at not being able to
find his ball. The search was
long and arduous until he saw one
of tie natives. who he knew had
been betting heavily against him
at about ten cents hole
Sinking away. limping. Like
flash the colonel was upon him.
shaking him violently until the
little pellet dropped to the sand.
The gambler had quietly stepped
on the ball and "palmed' it under
his big toe.
During the last days of the trip
any prospective members of the
gallery intending to follow the
match were required to wear shoes.

and then dropping out for over year,
has gone into the discard.
Renault has won several fights
lately. but he has been Knocked out
several times too, and is still spar
ring partner so far rs Dempsey is
concerned.
kearns seems to Il ink Richard is
the only promoter big enough to run
another DempseyF irpo battle. Rick
ard has proposed building an arena
to seat 10000 people for that match.
kearns says he'll have to build to
seat 100000. -
The fight will surely draw that
number at New York prices, if box
ing arena is built, will all the seats
sloping back from the ring.
Politics May Handicap.
The New York fight fans never will
pay again for "ringside seats" ex-
tening back a hundred rows or so
on the level ground of any ball park,
Not ten per cent of the holders of
"ringside seats" at the Dempsey Firpo
match saw the thrilling details of the
battle. At the first rush the crowd
jumped up on its seats, and in the
confusion very few outside the press
row and the grandstands had clear
view of the ring.
The only possible drawback to
building an arena seating 100000 peO-
pie for boxing shows in New York is
the uncertainty of politics.
The political gentry of New York
always are trying to get control of
promoting big money matches, and in
the past their squabbles have killed
boxing more than once, politics may
interfere again.
; An arena designed especially for
, for fights wouldn't be Of much use for
anything else. And a permanent
arena. fireproof and legal, seating
100000 people would cost pile OF
! money.
Giving out age records for publicity
purposes and statingo mes age on Il
government paper are different things.
Luis Firpo was said TO be 81 last
year when boxing in this country.
This year, matched with Dempsey, his
/ age was given out Officially" as
20. 1t was better to have Firpo young
and improving. for publicity purposes.
But when Firpo recently took out
. a first application for naturalization,
thinking that he could be n citizen
I both here, and in the Argentine at
, the same time, and that it would be
, good business. he gave his age as 2S.
Now that Luis finds he can't be citi-
, zen CT two countries at once and an.
, nOunces that he will remain an Ar
gentinian, he'll probably go back to
PC again.
, But we're going to remember it..
Next year both Firpo and Dempsey
, will be ga good fighting age for
/ heavyweights, at that. Ii a fellow
doesn't know how to fight at % he
: nSver will know.
