By HERBERT W. BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK.— (&) —The turf | world—or that part of it weigh ing possible winners of the Ken tucky Derby two weeks hence— ]turned an attentive ear on the | Jamaica race track today. On that Long Island course, ‘William Woodward’s Omaha, one of the Derby. favorites, was nom inated overnpight to make his three-year-old debut in the South Shore handicap at a mile and 70 pards. . The chsetnut son of Gallant Fox «<and Flambino was rated a 4 to 5 Ichoice over a field of three rivals‘ lincluding the Derby eligibles, G H. (Pete) Bostwick’s Allen Z and !Buckley M. Byers’ Thorson, asi ' well as the Brookmeade Stable's | Black Gift. ‘ ' Omaha, whose sire captured thel 1930 Derby, won only one of his' fnine starts as a two-year-old but! tinished second in the Champagne, ‘Junior Champion ard Sanforl Stakes. He has given every indi cation, however, of liking the] longer routes and his backersj think the mile and a quarter of| the Derby on May 4 will be i hé | down his- alley. h Four other* Derby eligibles also | were slated for action today .

An all-wrestling card will be presented here Wednesday night at the Foundry Street arena, fea turing three main grappling match ies, each with a one hour limit. The opeéning bout will get under way at 8:15 o'clock. Ladies night will be observed and every lady attending will be admitted free if accompanied by & paid male escort. The men’s tic kets will sell for 40 cents. Female Match The main attraction of the eve ning will be a hout bhetween two women, Misses Billie Devett and ‘Flora Latour. With this the first time that two women have ever put op a wrest ling match here, it is expccted to draw one of the largest ecrowds ever to fill the arena and the scrap is being eagerly looked forwarg to by all local fans. Hair-pulling, slapping, scratching and other “sissy’” tricks are being expected in addition to what wrestling manners the two Tfe males know and g grand show is promised. Nixory Meets Ali In the semi-windup tussle, Sgt. Harry Nixon, a wrestler of fame, will make his first Athens' appear ance against the mighty Moham med Ali,, the champion of the Arabs. Yet to be defeated here, Ali will have g mighty tough time taking the measure of the “Sarg”, who is no bad performer himself. Nixon and Ali have agreed to meet on a winner-take-all basis, which looks as though both are rather confi dent of a vietory. But, barring a draw, one must lose. Who will it be? Opening Clash The opening clash of the eve ning promises to be just as good as any of the others, will the battling Bull Schmidt, Atlanta, facing the tough fellow from Alaska, Totem Pole Anderson. Anderson, coming to Athens last week with a great reputatiop from Atlanta and other southern cities, had his shoulders unexpectedly pinned by Mohammed Alj, and Wednesday night will be out to show Athens fans that he is a good bit better than he showed himself to be in his initial appearance. As for Schmidt, he is plenty tough, knowing the wrestling game forward and backward, and will give Anderson a real bad eve ning if the Totem Pole doesn't watch out. YOUR v+ 7% .

Yet her encour agement to, “eat -this it will build good bones and strong muscles”, has made more athletes than all the coaches combined.

It should be a tough “match, and very close. The Firemen have practically the same team that walked off awith the flag last season.

Associated Press Sports Writer ’ These warm spring afternoonsa man’s fancy seems naturally .to turn to the nearest ball game. And with the exciting doings of ‘the first few days of the season yes terday for a total of approximate 1y 126,000 fans at seven major lea gue contests—a figure which com pared to the 148,000 total for )fho season’s eight opening games. Pittsburgh hit the high mark when 28,000, the largest crowd since 1929, turned out to see the Pirates take a 6 to 1 licking from the world champion St. Leuis Cardinals and Dizzy Dean. Another banner ecrowd, more than 26,000 saw the Cards’ world series rivals, the Deirolt Tigers, g 0 13 innings to pull out a 3 to 2 decision over the Cleveland Ind iants, who played their third extra inning tilt of the season. At New York 25,000 turned out for a pitch ing battlée between Bill Dietrich and Johnny Allen in which the Yankees pulled out a 4-3 triumph over the Athletics and some 22,- 000 Boston fans cheered Babe Ruth's second National League home run then watched Brooklyn g 0 on to helt gut an 8 to 1 victery over the Braves. i ’ The other gatherings were 10,- 000 at Chicago, where the Cinein ’natl Reds repelled a ninth inning uprising by the Cubs and won out in the twelfth, 8 to 4; 9,000 at St. Louise where the White Sox de~ seated the Browns 6 to 5 in ten in nings and 6,000 at Philadelphia to see the Phillies and Giants battle to a 4-4 tie in a game ended in the tenth by the Sunday six o'clock law. The Red Sox and Washington were rained out and rescheduled their game for today. . Schoolboy Rowe’s relief hurling was a big factor in Detroit's tri umph and ‘the winning run off Monte Pearson came on Charley Gehringer’s double, two intentional passes and a hot single by Marvin Owen. The Yankees got only three hits off Dietrich but they put them all ‘together in the eighth with a walk and an error to score their four runs. Ruth’s homer was of little avail when the Dodgers. piled a dozen hits on top of four errors to 'make it three out of four for the series. i Among their other feats, the Reads pulled off the season's first triple play in the eleventh when Augie Galan lined into first bases man Jim Bottomley's hands with two runners streaking dowp the mths' baba MAROON TRACKMEN - T 0 DEFEND TITLE District Meet to Be Held Here Friday At 3P. M. on Sanford Field. Athens’ Maroon track team be gan a hard week of practice this afternoon under Coach Clayton Bowers in preparation for the dis trict cinder meet, to be held Fris day afternoon at 3 o'clock on Sans ford field. g ' Defending champions, it looks ” though the Red and White cinder performers will face plenty of op position in attempting to retain thelr title and the meet should be one of the best ever held for the Tenth District championship. So far this season the Maroons have been the participants in four track meets. The Athens boys started off the season by placing second in a triangular affair with A. R. C. and Washington High in Augusta. e Next they placed third in anoth er three sided affair with the Freshmen and Boys High, and then they came in fourth in a meet with the Freshmen, Lanier Hizh and G.. M. K. 1 Their only vietory came Friday in a meet with Jefferson, Statham and Commerce in Jefferson. Coach Bowers Saturday announ ced what would probably be the lineup for Athens in the district meet.
