YORK, July 24. —The pearly jrates opened to the aggressive knuckles of an interesting character the Mother day and I can imagine that by now the good St. Peter : must be meditating if It wouldn't have been for the best to -let Mr. William Hickman Pickens stay where he was. Mr. Pickens was by way of*l)eing a modern Barnum as he enthusiastically admitted, and, unless the house rules of the Elysian fields are very strict as regards promotional _ activities and such, I am afraid the lieatific calm of the place is due for a severe smacking around. Down here with us mortals Mr. Pickens was miserable when he wasn't promoting something—or somebody. In his own wav he was probably the “ greatest of all promoters. Certainly he was the most fantastic. And he ~ could be very daring, especially when he was using somebody else's dough. a a a a a a * V 'HERE wasn’t anything mean or shady about Mr. Pickens. He even X nfuatd to admit in confidence he trafficked in suckers. On the contrary, he argued he was the sucker's friend; he gave them the kind of amusement they wanted. Such as an automobile racing an airplane, with—the automobile winning one day and the airplane the next. „ Mr. Pickens devoted his life to exploiting the new and the unique. * Thus it was he turned to automobile racing when the automobile was looked upon as a passing fancy. And thus it was. a generation later, he -turned to the airplane. At one time Mr. Pickens had more airplanes : 81 ita government. These he used for exhibition purposes at county fairs. a a a a a a “ ■'ITERY properly Mr. Pickens deserves to be remembered with admira--7 ▼ tion by aviatioh. He was a pioneer in making the country air- ■ minded. Hundreds of thousands of people in this country saw their first “flying machine" because of the man's devotion to this hazardous science —and the yoke] dollar. He had more imagination than a dozen Tex Rickards, but for some strange reason he preferred the daily show routine with modest returns to a spectacular gamble on one tremendous enterprise—such as a JeffriesJohnson fight in the Nevada hills. I hesitate to say the man had a conscience, but possibily he did. At any rate he always seemed reluctant . to carry too much swag away from a community. a a a a a a HIS circus mind was always simmering with bizarre ideas. It was he who persuaded Suzanne Lenglen to turn to professional tennis. He got the idea from Damon Runyon one night in the old Friars' Club. Very few people believed the great French star would renounce her amateur standing to come to America as a trouper. . It was sensational news when she finally agreed to sign on the dotted line. But MV. Pickens never talked about it much, then or thereafter. You see it was merely a sales victory for him. There wasn’t much artistic satisfaction in it. The idea had been spawned by some -one else. Mr. Pickens liked to breed his own ideas. The crazy, daffy Bunion Derby also was born in the Pickens’ noodle and in turn peddled to Mr Cash and Carry Pyle, with whom the modern Barnum had been associated in the Lenglen tour. Mr. Pickens was greatly distressed at the failure of the Bunion Derby. It made him yearn for the early days of the century when the American people appreciated the nobility of art. a a a a a a years Mr. Pickens nourished an ambition to own his own circus. It was to be a different type of circus, exploiting big name people in the flesh before small towners. That’s the way his mind ran—big names, small towns. For instance, he thought Tex Rickard would be a great '* box office draw under canvas. ‘‘Ail he'd have to do would be to ride around the tent on a white horse and wave a ten gallon hat at the customers.” Mr Pickens was serious about that, as he was about all his eccentric brain children. The last time I talkr with him he was working on a proposition which he intended to submit to Babe Ruth next fall. This time Babe was to be the star of his circus. Just what the Babe was to do he hadn't decided yet. But he showed me figures tending to prove there were more than two hundred towns with an aggregate box office draw of 20 noo.ooo people who knew of Ruth only by newspaper headlines.

Rain Halts Davis Cup Tennis Play Wood Takes First Two Sets From Crawford. Hu United Press WIMBLEDON, England, July 24. —Rain today halted play in the in-ter-zone finai Davis cup tie between the United States and Australia, after Sidney B. Wood Jr. of New York was leading Jack Crawford, 6-3. 9-7. Only one point of the third set had been played when a fresh downpour halted the match. It was officially announced that play would be resumed tomorrow, weather permitting. at exactly the same point. Only a terrific overnight collapse on the part of Wood would make an ultimate Crawford victory - seem likely. As the contest stands now. Crawford must win three straight sets to take the match. Thus the burden rests principally upon the giant Frank Shields of New York, who is to meet young Vivian McGrath in the final match.

CRACK FIELD BATTLES LOR P. G. A. TITLE

Local Player One of Young Favored Pros Ralph Stonehouse, Coffin, Given Chance; Dutra, Sarazen Feared. BY I.EO H. PETERSEN' L'nited Pre Staff Correspond*nt PARK COUNTRY CLUB, WILLIAMSVILLE, N. Y., July 24 Harry Cooper, one of the favorites, shot a sensational 68. four under par. to take the lead today as half of the field in the P. G. A. tournament reached the halfway mark in the thirty-six-hole qualifier. Cooper was out in 34 and came back in the same number. He had four birdies, on the first, ninth, twelfth and fourteenth holes. "Wild Bill” Melhorn kept in the running with a 70. He was out in 34 and back in 36. Willie MacFarlane was one under par with a 71. Horton Smith had a 76. WILLI AMS VILLE. N. Y„ July 24. —A crack field of 114 professionals began play today in the qualifying round of the seventeenth annual P. G. A. golf tournament. They were scheduled for thirtysix holes. The low thirty-one will join Gene Sarazen, defending champion, in match play tomorrow. From the scores in practice rounds, it appeared a thirty-six-hole aggregate of 146 would be necessary to qualify. The consensus of the pros is that 136 or 137 will win medalist honors. Par for the eighteen-hole course is 72. Sarazen. who has won three times, and Olin Dutra, National Open titleholder, ruled slight favorites. Match Play Tomorrow But there are many others, including some of the younger players, who were conceded almost equal chances. Because he won last year, Sarazen was not required to qualify. Match play will continue through the week with finals scheduled for Sunday. Following closely behind Sarazen and Dutra, some fifteen others were a chance of winning the crown, which but for a few exceptions has usually gone to a veteran. Laffoon Mentioned The youngsters are led by Ky Laffoon of Denver. Other bright ones are Johnny Revolta, Herman Barron, Victor Ghezzi, Dick Metz, A1 Houghton, Ralph Stonehouse, Harold Sampson and A1 Zimmerman. Leo Diegel, considered a keen judge of golfing talent, predicted at least one youth, probably Laffoon. would get at least as far as the semi-finals. Among the favored veterans are Horton Smith, Paul Runyan, Tom Creavy, Craig Wood, Tommy Armour, Diegel, Harry Cooper, Willie Gcogin, Densmore Shute, Billy Burke, Walter Hagen, Charles Lacey, A1 Watrous and Willie MacFarlane. Ralph Stonehouse, pro at Coffin course here, made his first strong bid for the national P. G. A. title in 1932 when he reached the quar-ter-finals. He was e iminated by Tom Creavy, then defending champion. Stoney is Miami Winter Open champion and was one of Indiana's five representatives in the National Open earlier this season. He is Indiana’s only representative in the present tournament.

Two rival heavyweights grappling performers, both of whom are of the aggressive type, will come to grips in the feature attraction on the Hercules A. C. outdoor wrestling card tonight at Sports Arena, 600 North Pennsylvania street. The main go contestants are Lou Plummer, the rough Baltimore matman who has been enjoying a winning streak in Indianapolis, and Sol Slagel. the powerful Kansas giant who defeated Plummer here in a short bout last winter. The match has stirred up keen interest among local wrestling fans, the majority of whom have been waiting to see Plummer tossed about in the same manner that he has been "man handling” his previous opponents. Lou’s loss to Slagel here last winter was a one-fall tumble and the Baltimore husky figures he can beat his rival in a match calling for two falls out of three. Slagel’s ability is well known to Indianapolis fans. He has beaten numerous topnotchers and has won and lost in bouts with Joe Savoldi. He weighs 230 and Plummer 228. A special semi-windup tussle of forty-five minutes will bring together Dick (Texas Tornado) Raines and Jim McMillen, two nationally known grapplers. In the other supporting bout, Andy Rascher, Indiana’s outstanding heavyweight, will try for his fourth consecutive victory when he opposes Joe To'iti, an Italian husky.
