A-12 Omaha Expected to Establish Undispu NO HORSE N SIGHT TODSPUTECLAM Derby, Preakness Victor Is | Pointing for Belmont. May Enter Withers. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, May 13.—Omabha, the big red flash from William Woodward’s Belair stud, re- pects of little to beat in his future races following the capping of his de- cisive Kentucky Derby victory with a galloping triumph in the Preakness at Pimlico Saturday. The son of Gallant Fox has whiped all of the leading 3-year-olds either in the mud of the Derby or over a fast track in the Preakness and it is hard to find any owner who would care especially to have his horse take another crack at the Woodward ace, at least over the longer routes. Omaha is eligible for both the ‘Withers mile and the $50,000 Belmont stakes, to be decided during the Bel- turned home today with pros- | SPORTS. < B mont Park meeting opening Wednes- | day. He might find the Withers a difficult task, but the 1!, miles of the Belmont is made for the long-siriding chestnut. The Withers will be run May 25 and the Belmont June 8. May Rest Up for Belmont. «y’'M NOT sure hell be in the Withers,” said his trainer, Jim Fitzsimmens. “We may decide to give him a rest before going after the Belmont.” The Withers probably will attract a large field, whether Omaha goes or not, as there are some fast horses at that distance in the 3-year-old divi- sion. They include C. V. Whitney’s Today, Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s Psychic | Bid and Mrs. Payne Whitney's Plat | Eye, all of which trailed Omaha in | the Derby after showing early speed. | Psychic Bid had mud kicked in his | face at the Downs, but made a better showing in finishing third in the Preakness. Although not blessed with early speed, Omaha showed at Pimlico it does not take him long to get into | stride. He may go on to prove that | he will be a mighty tough horse even at a mile. “He came out of Saturday's race in fine shape,” said Fitzsimmons. “If he continues to stand training. and he’s as sound as a dollar, he should have no trouble winning the Belmont.” Higher Honors Beckoning. | 5 MAHA was the fourth horse to win both the Derby and Preak- ness, Sir Barton, Gallant Fox and Burgo King previously having turned the trick.

POPULAR RASSLER RETURNING TO D.C. Bisignano Will Meet Rough Foe in Katan in Semi-Feature of Show Thursday. i NE of the most popular heavy- O weight wrestlers introduced here | in months returns to the Wash- | ington Auditorium Thursday night when Alphonse Bisignano, tlassy‘. Italian youngster, appears in sched- | uled 30-minute support of the Ed ! (Don) George-Ed Meske feature. He draws rough-working John Katan as his opponent. A big hit in his debut here when he outclassed and completely out- | maneuvered Floyd Marshall, Bisig- nano will be pointed for bigger matches | if he gets past Katan. In his local debut against Marshall, Bisignano resorted to rough-house | tactics after Marshall had launched | the brawling, drawing blood from | Floyd’s nose and otherwise severely | punishing the big Westerner. | Bisignano's chief claim to fame is | what appears to be a radical improve- | ment of Danno O'Mahony's “Irish | whip,” the Italian having developed | this specialty into one of the most spectacular holds on the mat today.

The Kking| of all the welterweights looked just as | strong and solid and supple as he did before the first Ross fight, a year ago, but he was jumpy. He spoke in nervous spurts. His cheeks grew pink whenever ’ he made a remark. He shuffled around the room, hitching up | his tights or kneading his new headgear into shape. 1 “Training is terrible.” said Jimmy.‘ | “It’s the worst part of this business. 1t's terrible when you get up in the country all by yourself.

When some one made a suggestion about new gloves or the danger of getting over- heated, or the value of one of the sparring partners, Jimmy just nod- ded and said: “Yeah, all right. here’s what we’ll do.” In a nervous, ab- sent-minded way, he was running the works. | “You seen this Joe Louis?” he asked suadenly. “Yeah, a great fighter.

It makes him restless. and, when Jimmy pauses, his mana- | ger breaks in with something about | fights and what his boy is going to do to Ross. Jimmy seems, though, to have an ailment stronger than train- ing camp fever. I think he should make this third cadenza with Ross the last one. He's strong and game and smart enough to win it if he hus- tles. It would make a nice finish. The only time he really laughed on the day I am talking about was when some one mentioned his fighting kid | | brother Sammy. “He's tough,” said Jimmy. “He's like Joe Louis, climbing in and giving ‘em that left hand. He's a fighter.” “I guess he certainly is,” said Pop “It’s in the family.” (Copyright. 1035, by the North Newspaper Alliance.
