PROTENNISFACES SUCCESSFUL YEAR By BILL BRAUCHER Two horses are being trained to carry the Greer tree colors which Twenty Grand bore so well when he won the Kentucky Derby in 1921 and set an all-time record tor the event at 2:01 4-6.

They are Plat Eye and Sailor Beware, bay colts, and though Plat Eye was the better two-year-old. Sailor Beware may yet establish himself as the superior horse. third entry is Up and Up, but this gelded son of Upset has shown nothing to indicate he is ready for Derby company. Mra Payne Whitney, mistress ot Greentree, is likely to let the first two named perform. Sailor Beware, a son of St James-Lady Be Good, outgrew his rival, which may be in his favor.

Plat Eye la a son of Imported Chicle, and through his dam, Crazy Moon, claims Broomstick ancestry. He can carry weight and run well on any kind ot track. Flat Eye won five races in 11 starts last year, was second twice and third twice, a good record for one so busy, and earned 127,020. Last Saturday he scored a convincing victory In the Chesapeake at Havre de Grace. Sailor Beware showed a disposi tion to loaf early last year, but was raced so frequently he seemed to make up his mind he might as well go to work and get It over with.

Plat Eye, one of the Greentree hopes In the Derby. Baer Considers Schmeling Nonchalant Navajo Grappler Pins Bislgnano and Is First to Do lt. By J. J. McALESTER Rated as a champion in 'California, Chief LltUe Wolf, the nonchal ant Navajo grappler, is just a step away from a similar rating In New York.

The colorful American aborigine has captured the fancy of the metropolitan wrestling fans as no other bone bender has in years. Further, the Chief has done every thing asked of him and done it in a mest convincing fashion. No wrestler opposed to the Navajo has lasted over Z0 minutes since he In. vaded the east some three months ago. The Chief can boast todav of da.

tng something that no other mat-man has done, i.e., pin Alphonse Bislgnano, the Des Moines Italian, tn the ring oS the 71st Regiment Armory. In fact only three other men beside the chief can boast of fall victories over the likable youngster from Iowa. Ed Don George, Jim Browning and Danno u'Manoney belna- the men in Ques tion. Bislgnano had won eight strals-ht engagements in the Park ave, drill-shed before having his streak snapped last night by the Chief. At that, Bislgnano looked better in de test than has any other man.

to tangle with the Indian. He gave Little Wolf more n-ouble than Gino Garibaldi and Ernie and Rudy Dusek combined. However, In the end LltUe Wolf made the Des Moines grappler quit under punishment ot the Chiefs famed Indian leg lock. The time was 16:54. Uttle Wolf won a duel of wrist.

locks to be the first to score, but his advantage was short lived at Bislgnano swept to the attack. The Iowa Italian set a fast Dace and harried Little Wolf with mares and tackles and a cradle split but was almost pinned at the slx-mlnute mark when the Indian broke a cradle and secured his leg lock. Bislgnano fought fiercely and staved off defeat by reaching the ropes and forcing a break. After that close call. Bislgnano assumed the upper hand and riding wun an airplane spin almost tossed the Navajo with a wrlstlock and armsclssora.

Only by a herculean effort was the Navajo able to fijrht his way to freedom. The Chief had his inning a minute later when he was on the verge of victory with a half nelson. but Bislgnano broke free and they mixed matters freely. In the milling Bislgnano got a cradle' grain. That was his fatal mistake.

The Chief rolled, broke Blslgnano's hold on one leg with a wrlstlock and slapped en the Indian leg lock to win. At S1Z, Little Wolf held a two. pound pull in the weights. Rube Wright 220. added to his host of followers with a convincing victory over Steve Znosky, 180, win ning in with a neck scissors.

Rudy Dusek, lit. won a slam bang battle from Boris Demitroff, 116, in 1:07 with a spin slam finished with a wrlstlock and arm scissors. Jack Donovan, 120, won a decision over Emil Dusek, 113, and George Zaharins, S3S, bested Fred Grub-meler, ZOO, in 19:31 when the latter was counted out after being knocked out ot the ling by a tackle.

By BERNARD BROWN As a result of the combined efforts of Walter Merrill Hall, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, and William T. Tilden, 2d, professional tennis may have the most successful outdoor season In Its history this year. The plain fact of the matter is that thus far the pro outdoor campaigns have never amounted to much. The traditions behind the great amateur championships and the Davis Cup have combined to keep the pros from enjoying a successful outdoor season. During the Indoor seasons.

It has been an entirely different story. There are only two major indoor amateur events a year, leaving the winter season more or less wide open for the proa And that Is why the Messrs. BUI Tilden. Ellsworth Vines and others have raked in most of the shekels on their trans continental tours, playing aU of their matches indoors. It was the old master, Tilden.

who really saved the, life of professional tennis back in 1920. Before that pro tennis didn't amount to very much. But when Tilden turned pro other leading amateurs decided to follow his example, first Emmett Fare, Bruce Barnes and Frank Hunter and later on Vines, George Lott and Lester Stoefen. Added to such names as Vincent Richards, Howard Klnsey, Karel Kozeluh, Hans Nussleln, Martin Plaa and Albert Burke, they gave a new vigor to the game of profes sional tennis. But it was old man Tilden he's 42 now who nearly spoiled every thing himself.

Dissatisfied with the Professional Lawn Tennis As sociation ot the United States, which had Richards, Klnsey, George Agut- ter, Paul Heston and others as members, he organized a new group or nis own, called the international Players Association, and withdrew from the P. L. T. A. This didn't do the game any good, but it didn't take Tilden long to realize that fact Finally, through the good offices of Hall, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association (which had helped to organize the professionals back in 1927) Tllden's group, which had threatened to be come all-powerful, was brought back into the fold.

At a closed council of peace held last week in the Hotel Pennsylvania, the Amer ican chapter of the International Players Association became a member body of the older Professional Lawn Tennis Association of the United States. The result of this merger Is a united front, which means more and better professional tournaments, and consequently higher earnings for the playing pros, as distinguished from the teaching pros. judging from the schedule and the quality ot competition assured for these events, pro tennis should enjoy its most successful outdoor season during 1935. In the Junior Champion he gave one of the most brilliant performances ever seen at Aqueduct when he beat the highly regarded Omaha and ran the mile in 1:26 4-5 over a track classed as slow. Besides that victory, the son of St James In the night I fought him, Joe Louis BraddockT Why, the only reason I that I figured I had everything to with him.

Now it's beginning to There on the record Is the toughest contender of the lot" Thus spoke Max Baer, in Cleveland, today. Tonight Baer will spar four rounds with Ed Slmms in the Pub-lie Hall of the Forest City. From Cleveland, Baer will Journey to St Louis, where he will box an exhibition bout with Babe Hunt Friday night Baer rates his contenders as follows: First, Schmeling; second, Camera; third, Louis; fourth, Braddock. "I guess that will have to be the way," chirped the champion. "Take Louis he is now a great young prospect But take five-year whiskey against oce-year whiskey.

Schmeling has the seasoning; that's the thing. "Are you picking Camera, by any chance, to knockout Louis?" Baer was asked. Hedges on Knockout "I shouldn't say there'll be a knockout; I'm Just guessiDg that Louis won't keep Camera on the canvas. The big guy will be awfully tough for a short-punching fellow like Louis and he's sure to be ahead of that colored boy in close quarters." "But If Camera should beat Louis, what about your Detroit fight with the colored boy?" "Gee, that's right: ltd be too bad to lose that one. Why I like Detroit you see, is that they've Just passed the 20-round bill, and with Floyd Fltxximmons inviting his old pal.

Jack Dempsey, to help in the promoting, and Iv Louis' home town, the fight would draw a tremendous amount of money. It would be a shame to miss it And he Is a great young fighter, to say It again," Baer continued. "Louis' punch is a punch, and any man who'll beat him has got to be in the best of shape." "Tou really think. Max, that you 11 meet Schmeling in London this summer?" "This Is my year to get the dough; that's what I think. Why, I wanted to meet him in Germany, but too many of my friends warned me against it But whatever happens, I'm sure to have two fights before autumn, and that'll help," concluded the heavyweight champion.

won four other races and showed three times, earning $10,650. Neither seems to be a TJwenty Grand, but the two are more formidable than they generally receive credit for. And In an open race, such as the Derby this year promises to be, either, or both, may surprise. L. I.

Barring bad weather, the Blackbirds will play five games by Saturday, for in order St Peter's, Manhattan and Brooklyn College are to be met following today's scuffle with Shepherd State. And barring unforeseen accidents, it will be a powerful nine that blasts its way back into the metropolis.

by a score in the Kentucky Derby, made his first start as a three-year-old ax Jamaica yesterday and observed the occasion with a victory. He turned the mile and 70 yards in 1:43. mile in 1:3 4-6. to "core over fit, but indifferent opposition, r.iack Gift. Thorson and Allen Z.

ere iiio uuco If our way of describing that should have been a occaslor In Long Island racing affairs of the spring sountis -not meant to be otherwise. In vlo-tory. Omaha showed what was the matter with him last year and also what it is all about His competitive Instinct Is only minutely developed and. Judging him as horse, he has practically no sense. Flashes Class Omaha showed enough In a half-mile of yesterday's race prove that If he was not guilty on all these counts he would doubtless be unbeaten, with a quarter of a million In earnings to his stead of a few hundred dollars.

Looking at hlra as he was running up the backstretch. toe track, you could say: That a great horse!" Tor'd probably be riht. too. hut Omaha doesn't know his strength. He runs a little, loafs a little.

Now he turns into the homestretch. The boy is swarming over back, kicking his flanks. The V.oofbeaia of his rivals and the cries of their riders are In his ears, and over the course there rolls a thunder from the grandstand. Every-thin-g is calculated to make we blood run faster, to make the thoroughbred forget his aches and bear down in a way that's famous In song and story. And Omaha Immediately becomes sluggish.

When he should run he wants to stand still, but when It's all over he's very lively. He cocks his ear; ill over the place, prances about and playfully drags around anybody who tries to hold him. According to some observers, Omaha was rank in the running, but green may be a better description. There doesn't seem to be tnythlng mean about this strapping colt, not that that excuses him. Trace ot Sire? Earle Sande thought he saw trace of his sire In Omaha.

This because Gallant Fox had a habit or pulling up when he had his race a-on. But Gallant Fox just loafed when the race was won and there was no opposition around. Omaha Iocs it because he doesn't know any better and does It at any time. And there's not much of Gallant Fox In Omaha. Omaha Is bigger, rougher, stronger, better looking and should be able to do twice as much with half the effort.

But unless Bunny Jim Fitzsim-mons can get It through the thick skull of this layboy just what Is expected of him, Omaha may not win the races he should. His appearance yesterday was by ay of Qualifying for Saturday's running of the $10,000 added Wood Memorial. And It was an impressive showing after he had given onlookers heart failure. Omaha Is the second choice for the Derby at this time and might as well be the favorite. If there's nothing to distract him and he runs as he can, defeating him will be a tremendous tnik.

This is a colt of rare quality, notwithstanding his faults. The running of the Wood is awaited with Interest, for It may show whether Omaha's faults or his ability will guide his racing.
