I usually use my Stoeger SxS coach gun in the matches. I just picked up a clean 1924 Winchester 1897 Shotgun with my C&R License. I plan on using it in the future, but I hear the ejectors break after alot of use. I was going to order some replacements from Numrich just in case. Does anyone else know of other sources for the ejector replacements?

Figure it this way, your gun is 85 years old.  Do the extractors and ejector still work?

Well ........... The extractors and ejector will break on ANYTHING we shoot (except the rod on a hand gun).  So, yes they will break ........ eventually.
PUK gave you a great link for the extractors and ejector for the '97.  Cowboys and Indian supply really nice '97 extractors and the ejector spring.  You can also get these parts from Brownells.  The right side is fairly inexpensive and the left side is ..... expensive ... but the Cowboys and Indian are the best I've seen.  The ejector spring is cheap anywhere you get it.  The left side and the ejector may require a little fitting. 
Mine usually last "years" even with a lot of shooting.

PS:  If you practice with full weight dummies, they will break much much sooner.
