Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—This is about M.r. William Pickens, the big natuaii gas operator from Mammyland, who is back on Broadway duking the boys and mitting the gals. In case you haven't heard. Mr. Pickens is the gray-topped dean of the world’s ballyhooers. There is a

legend that he was born in a circus megaphone, nursed on printer’s ink and weaned on newspaper scare heads. A part of this may be true. He will drink anything. Back in the golden age Mr. Pickens ballyhooed the first racing car in company with a fellow from the west coast named Oldvests

Joe Williams

or Oldshoes or something. A little later on when civilization began to move forward and third basemen cut their beards, Mr. Pickens ballyhooed the first racing airplane. Os late Mr. Pickens has sort of Wrenched himself away from the cold industrial phases of promotional work and gone over to the finer and better things. The recent "Bunion Derby,” for instlnce, was one of his brain children. One of his soft-brain children, as you might say. a a a Mr. Pickens had a 25 per cent interest in this unfortunate en- ; terprise, which, according to my latest information, not only made a frugal, conservative man out of j Mr. C. C. Pyle, but reduced the latter’s young business associate, j Harold Grange, to such cir- j Kumstances that he will turn to vaudeville this winter for succor. a a a BUT is Mr. Pickens downhearted ' because his share in the enter- j prise when Scaled down to dimes j and dollars did not amount to i enough to buy a monocle for a blind pig? You can just go and tell Senator Heflin or anybody else j he isn’t. “I am gratified to know that at j least I was partly responsible for! keeping the runners out in the open air,” Mr. Pickens said simply. “Some of them needed it.” I had not been discussing the affairs of state with Mr. Pickens long until I realized that he was cooking up anew racket. Presently Mr. Pickens reached a stage where it was possible to per- j Buade him to disclose the details of his inspiration. You will be staggered. Mr. Pickens is determined to go the “Bunion Derby” one better or one worse as the indictment may read. He has arranged to promote a river swim from St. Paul to New Orleans beginning next June. a a a Mr. Pickens assures you this will really be worth while. He admits there may have been something silly about running from Los An- ! geles to New York as the j Buioneers did, but he contends his j threatened swim will contribute much that is of importance to the fine arts, science, surgery and even the Tilden controversy. a a a INSPIRED perhaps by the success of Mr. Ziegfeld’s spectacle, it is the plan of Mr. Pickens to precede the runners in an immense show boat. At each stopping point the boat will drop anchor, and customers lured across the gang plank. When the paddlers paddle by it will be easy to see them from points of close eye-range and amid attractive conditions. Mr. Pickens is convinced the chief reason the ‘‘bunior derby” was a monetary failure is that the principal part of the show—the running—was out in the open on the main highway, where every one with eyes bad or good could see. While a river—particularly the Mississippi—is almost as public as a highway, it is in most places a bit wider, and while Mr. Pickens, gifted as he is, could not move the highways to points of comparative seclusion, he thinks he will be able to get the same desired results in his swim by keeping the paddlers close to the far bank. “Unless you are on the boat all you can see is a head—and what’s a head?” demands Mr. Pickens. Practically nothing, I should say, in circumstances such as these.

Mr. Pickens will be assisted in the promottion of his race by Norman Ross, formerly the world’s greatest middle distance swimmer. He also says tempting contracts will be dangled before the startled eyes of Gertrude Ederle and Johnny Weissmuller to give exhibitions en route. He also says —if you are still listening—that 550,000 in prizes will go to the winners. TODAY'S SELECTIONS HAWTHORNE Black Flyer. Doctor Fred Padona. Theo Red, Stars and Stripes, Shasta Flapper. J.

United States Swimmers Keep Up Assault on Olympic Records

Two Chicago Men Chased From Racing Druggan and Lake Ruled Off Turf; Result of Brawl. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Terry Druggan and Frankie Lake, reputed barons of Chicago’s beer industry and owners of a string of racing horses, were left outside the gates today at the Hawthorne Park race course. The board of stewards of the track made known their decision to bar the notorious pair after hearing evidence all day Friday as an aftermath to a fight between Druggan and Jockey Arthur Prendergass in the Hawthorne paddock Thursday. The action came in answer to Druggan and Lake’s reported assertion that "nobody can keep us out of racing in Chicago.” It was understood to be based on the Illinois Turf Association ruling against the use of bad language, weapons, or disturbance of the peace on a race track. The two men had been involved in brawls on two other Chicago tracks. The Hawthorne ruling, which was returned by Presiding steward Joseph A. Murphy and his associates. Sam Nuckols and Thomas Bradley of Kentucky, will become effective on other Chicago tracks, it was believed. According to precedent it also would apply at the New' York Jockey Club, the Maryland Jockey Club, the Canadian Racing Association and all recognized tracks in the United States, Canada and Cuba. >r~ ! =Tf====> SEBALL | CALENDAR AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Won.

American 800-Meter Relay Team Paddles to Easy Victory. WEISMULLER COASTS IN Japan Finishes Second, Canada Third. Bu United Prest AMSTERDAM. Aug. 11. The United States swimming team won the finals of the 800 meters relay today, establishing anew Olympic record of 9 minutes 36 1-5 seconds. Japan was second and Canada third, in 9:41 2-5 and 9:47 4-5 respectively. Hungary was fourth, Sweden, Fifth, and England, sixth. The Americans far outclassed the other nations and If the United States anchor man, Johnny Weismuller. had exerted himself the Americans could have bettered the record considerably more. The American quartet of Austin Clapp. Walter Laufer, George Kojac and Weissmuller, took the lead the first starting with a three meters lead, Laufer increased in to twelve. Kojac gained three more. Weissmuller only swam the first hundred and then coasted along, locking back at his badly beaten foreign competitors. California Triumphs Bu United Preßs AMSTERDAM. Aug. 11.—Unstinted praise was given today to eight brawny California collegians and a diminutive but powerfullunged youngster, who berated them into bringing the 1928 Olympic rowing championship to the United States. It was Don Blessing s exhortations and his super-coxmanship, which brought the American crew across the finish line of the 2,000 meters course, three-quarters* of a boat length ahead of the English eight, sportsmen here agreed. It was a stirring race from the drop of the flag. The English were game and forced the Americans to exert themselves to the limit. The eight-oared battle was the last event on a program which included seven final contests. The United States, held a narrow lead over Great Britain in points and the eight-oared race became the deciding factor. Earlier in the day, the Penn A. C. double sculls team won its final heat from Canada; Kenneth Myers, of the Bachelors’ Penn Barge Club four-oared shell Barge Club of Philadelphia and the without coxswain placed second in the finals of their events and the Penn Barge Club’s pair-oared shell without coxswain placed third.

Millers Again Crowd Indians as Colonels Take Friday Tilt, 1 to 0 Only Game and One-Half Lead Now; Brewers Also Step Up; Swetonic Drops Tough One.

By Times Speeial LOUISVILLE, Aug. 11.—With the defeat of the Indians by the Colonels here Friday, 1 to 0, while Minneapolis was drubbing the Saints at St. Paul, the A. A. battle for first place tightened again, and today the Betzelites were only a game and a half out in front. And in third place are the Milwaukee Brewers, moving along rapidly and back in the race to make another bid for top honors. Nearly every season the Brewers stage a big winning streak, and they seem to be on one now. Home Run in Ninth It was a tough one for Steve Swetonic to lose here Friday, the game going until the ninth before the lone run of the contest was scored. He was pitted against Malcolm Moss, star young southpaw, and it was a contest of fine fielding plays and expert pitching. The failure of Bud Connolly to move up Matthews in the first inning beat the Indians. Matty opened the fray with a walk, Connolly hit into a double play and Haney and Comorosky followed with singles. If Matthews had been on second with one out there probably would have been a different story to the second tilt of the series. Sicking Scores The victory run was carried over the plate by Sicking, former Indian.

nom singled, Sicking reaching third. Merville sent a long fly to Matthews and Sicking raced home from third after the catch to end the struggle. Moss allowed only six hits and Swetonic eight, with the latter showing far better control. The Tribe hurler did not issue a pass while Moss walked six Indians. Steve fanned three and Malcolm one, and the Colonel hurler had one wild pitch. The teams were to meet in the third conflict of the series today and on Sunday the Indians will end their visit and return to Indianapolis Sunday night. Monday is an off day for the Tribesmen to allow time for the long trip to St. Paul where their last western swing will start Tuesday. It has been many a day since Louisville fans have been so forunate as to see such a mound duel as was put on by Moss and Swetonic. Swetonic was seldom in trouble until the final inning. On the other hand Moss was constantly in hot water and but for double plays concocted and properly carried out by the remainder of the nine the Hoosiers would have made a run away with the Friday contest in the early innings. In salvaging the Friday contest the Colonels saved themselves the embarrassment of landing in the A. A. cellar by a half game. Ralph Miller proved his dexterity by playing left field. Layne, the regular Tribe left fielder, was injured slightly and Betzel gave him a day off. The very first thing that Miller did was to reach over into the bleachers and pull down a long foul by Sicking. Even the regular outfielders never do that, for it is too dangerous. The only extra base hit of the game was a double by Comorosky to left In the eighth inning. 17-Year-Old Star New Golf Champ By United Pr<Bs LA GRANGE. 111., Aug. 11.—La ; Grange today hailed its most distinguished 17-year-old athletic star, Dick Mullin ,who won the Western j Junior golf championship here Fri- I day by defeating Tom Cooley, Olympia Fields, 6 and 4. Big League Stuff Jack Quinn, veteran American League pitcher, held Washington to four scattered hits Friday and won a shutout victory, 8 to 0, enabling the Philadelphia Athletics 'to keep within four and a half games cf the leading New York Yankees. Lou Gehrig's twentieth home run of the year, with Ruth and 'iiazella on bases, gave the New York Yankees three runs in the third Inning and paved the way for their 3-to-2 defeat of the Boston Red Sox. A ninth-inning rally by Cleveland was checked by the Detroit Tigers after five runs had been scored, allowing the Tigers to defeat the Indians, 8 to 7. The Chicago White Sox bunched hits in the first and eighth innings to score five runs and defeat the St. Louis Browns, 5 to 3. St. Louis downed Pittsburgh Jn twelve innings, 2 to 1, to maintain their four-game lead in the National League. The Cardinals scored in the first, the Pirates in the second and the home plate remained untouched until the winning run was scored ten innings later. Freddy Lindstrom drove in five runs for the New York Giants ajd the lowly Philadelphia Nationals again bowed in defeat, 8 to 4. Lindstrom hit a home run in the first inning with two men on and his single with the bases loaded in the seventh, scored two more. Terry cleared the bases witji a home run on the next play. Dazzy Vance held Boston’s Braves to five hits and the Brooklyn Robins won. sto 1. Dissonette hit his nineteenth homer of the year.
