OMAHA TO BID FOR TRAVERS.
 LOST BY SIRE
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff CorresDoudeu

New York (U.P.)-The race William Woodward, millionaire New York sportsman, wants to win above all others is the Travers at Saratoga Springs, August IF.
 Back iS 1880, Gallant Fox, the daddy of Omaha, started an odds on favorite in the Travers, but was beaten by Jim Dandy, a 1O0-to-1 shot, in one of the biggest upsets in recent turf history.
 Now Woodward wants to see the son of Gallant Fox come through where his daddy failed. Many believe that Omaha is a bet ter horse than Gallant Fox was. Certainly on the day of the Airing ton Classic at Chicago Omaha was the equal of any 3-year-old of the past 10 years.
 Holds Arlington Record
 Omaha ran the mile and a quar- ter in minutes. 1 2-5 seconds un- der an impost of 126 pounds for a new Arlington Park record. It will be recalled that Gallant Fox had to fight off a challenge from Gallant Knight in the stretch, and just barely won the Classic in 1880.
 Woodward visioned Omaha's greatness as a 2-year-old, and in- structed his trainer, Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, to go easy on the colt and just give him enough competition to educate him to rac- ing.
 T am certain that Omaha will develop into a great race horse" !" said Woodward after examining the colt as jujvenile. He delib- erated for some time about sending Omaha to English to campaign for the Epson Derby, but finally de- cided to keep him in this country. First Fox, another son of Gallant Fox, was sent to England instead of Omaha.
 Reason for Name Revealed
 How Omaha got his name has resulted in much discussion. Woodward had a triple purpose in naming the steed after western city. He always had great ad- miration for several old-time horses whose names started with O." He also wanted horse with an Indian name. In casting around for an Indian name with an O." he thought of Omaha, ad having a great deal of admiration for the western city, he decided on that title.
 Omhaa is the leading money winner of the year, having won purses totaling $142,255. He has started nine times, won six races, finished second once and third twice.

YOUTH OF us. URGED TO AIM
 FOR OLYMPICS
Temple Track Coach Sees Continued Supremacy
 Depends on Training

Philadelphia (U.P)-Ben og- den, track coach of Temple Uni versity, believes the United States will have little difficulty in run ming away with the track and field championship of the 1895 and subsequent Olympiads" if the youth of America is willing to pay the price in work, self-sacrifice and intelligent application of correct principles of training.
 Ogden, whose protege Eulace Peacock conquered Jesse Owens. worlds record holder in the 100 yard dash four times recently, said the average college and high school athlete does not want to punish himself. He added that self-sacri- flee and the willingness to work have brought the Negro race to the fore in track and field athletics.
 One Way to Fame
 Look at boys like Owens, Pea cock and others," ogden said. They come from poor families and would not have had the chance to travel extensively and meet out standing people of many nations if they did not participate in track athletics or another branch of sports.'
 Every year ogden has a dozen or more candidates who quit after week or ten days because it takes too long and the training is toe arduous to reach the star class He says every coach in every branch of sport experiences the same trouble.
 Grind Discourages Many
 Ogden, who has been a student of the sport for 20 years, said a track man cannot afford to cul- tivate bad fault or habit in his work because constant practice is demanded of him. For the most part that is too much for the av- craze athlete so he decides on a sport that requires less effort.
 "Figuratively speaking. the track road is wide open one, plenty of tracks. too, but because the effort involved in getting on the right track is so great, the athlete is satisfied to go into an- other sport and not pay the price of too arduous labor," Ogden con- cluded.

President Roosevelt's proclama- tion restricting duck hunting in the United States to a 30-day period was designed to save 50 per cent of the normal duck hatch.
 Reducing bag limits, cutting the length of seasons, banning the shooting of ducks over baited areas and the use of live decoys. all will aid in the propagation of the duck. but nature, in the main, will bring back the birds to a number com parable to 50 years ago.
 The 1884 duck flight was a huge disappointment to shooters over most of America.
 With plenty of rain in the breed ing states of the northwest and in the provinces of Manitoba, Saska- tchewan, and Alberta, there is no question that there will be more birds this fall.
 A favorite that will continue to survive drouth is the black duck. This puddler nests in the back lakes of eastern Canada, and it's numbers are likely to be reduced by hunters alone.

FOOTBALL CALL
 SET FOR SEPT. :
 BY POP WARNER

Philadelphia (UP)-Pop Warner faces a bright outlook at Temple University Sept. 8, when he calls together his football squad for the 1885 season.
 Warner, whose contract at Tenn pie runs for three more years, will issue invitations to about 40 play CTS to attend the preseason drills at Oak Lane Country Day School. The squad will be composed most ly of 1894 lettermen headed by Dave Smukler, Gloversville, N. Y., fullback.
 Smukler has kept in condition during the summer by competing in track meets and working in glove factory. He hopes to weigh 215 when he reports for training.
 Warner and his assistants, Fred Swan and Bradley Winterburn, can lose little time in whipping their charges in shape. Only three weeks of practice are available be- fore the opening game with St. Jo- seph's College, Friday, Sept. 20.
 At present, Warner is teaching football in Lubbock, Tex. He plans to return to Philadelphia Sept. 1.

GNeA.

Charles Evans, Jr., was three down to Jess Sweetser going to the 18th hole in the National Amateur at Brookline in 1922.
 Both had fine drives. Evans, shooting first, stuck his ball six feet from the pin. It looked like winning hole for Chick. But Sweetser swung his heavy mashie and sent his ball a foot inside of Evans in an even more remarkable shot. Evans was forced to putt first and missed. Sweetser sunk his for a three, went up and on to prevail, 3 and 2.
 Ninety per cent of the golfers whose scores total 90 or more hit too soon with the right hand. The right arm of the average player assumes control too quickly before the clubhead reached the pellet. The left side having been over- powered. it is difficult to keep the club along the line of flight. Start the downswing with a pull of the left arm, allowing the left side to control the downswing un- til the ball is struck.

While their closest rivals, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Car- dinals, are faltering in the west, the Giants have five straight vic- tories to their credit to-day and a four-game lead over the second- place Cubs.
 With eight more games in the east before they meet the two con- in the month, the Giants are out to build up a lead which will keep them on top even if they split the last eastern invasion of the two western pennant chasters.
 The Giants have two more games with the Brooklyn Dodgers at the Polo grounds and six with the Phillies at Philadelphia. On August IA, the St. Louis Cardinals invade New York and then, after entertaining the Cincinnati Reds, the Giants tackle the Cubs in a six game series beginning August 22nd.
