TURF ATTRAGTION
Fans Anxious to See Four
Kentucky Derby Horses
Race At Long Island.
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 .
Woodward's Sir = Beverley and
Mrs. John D. Hertz's Count Ar

named fu: the six' furiong second

PRESENT 600 D CARD
WEDNESDAY AT 8.15
Women to Wrestle in 1
Hour Main Event of
Card This Week.
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.

It is a real tragedy to see the

Those who have been taught to re

physically. Much of this must

| show an improvement. Encourage
| them to take exercise, eat properly,
and sleep soundly. Many great
athletes owe their success to
mother’'s encouragement — e ven
though mother doesn’t know the
difference bhetween a touch down
' and an end run. 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 matters
little whether dad, eor mother,
know the first principles of exer
cise, or athlelics, encouragement
from them means, everything at

We can oftentimes do this by
urging the youngsters to trainp so
they can become good athl:tes.
This is usually sufficient for those
fortunate enough to be naturally
fairly robust. But what about’
those whe don’t make the teams?
Those ‘who liry to play bhut are too
frail? They probably have lost
' hope of becoming great’ football
| players. Are they to be left with

' selves physically? [
' We should not only recognize |
sports ability but physical perfec- |
tion as well. There are many phy-l
sically perfect boys who don't, for
various reasons, participate in
football and other strenuous ath
letics. .We should have a physi-l
cal goal for them to iry for. Hel
should be given a letter for mak- |
ing a certain improvement in hisg
physique during the school term.
We should honor physical perfec- |
tion as well as athletic skill. After |
all, now had it not been for the |
physical benefits many of these |

LASTER FANG TURN
OUT FOR GAMES IN
MAJORS YESTERDAY
Dizzy Dean Wins First
Game of Season By
Beating Pirates.
By HUGH 8. FULLERTON, JR.
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
