)HARLESTON, S. c., March %
Henry Pickard of Hershey,
" Pa, loomed as the man to
beat for the Charleston open
tournament title as third-round play
began today in the 72-hole event.
The former Charleston Country
Club pro was five strokes under par
and two ahead of the field as the
third 18-hole round began in the
$4,000 tournament.
Yesterday he fired SO to pair with
his opening day SO for a 1877 total to
gain the lead over the field of more
than 100.
Harry Cooper of Chicago moved
into a threatening position with
sensational 68 for the second round,
which, paired with his first round 70,
gave him a total of 139 for second
place.
McSpaden Is Ihrd.
Harold Jug) McSpaden of Kansas
City pulled into third position with a
consistent 70-70-l40, one stroke
better than Johnny Revolta of Mil
waukee, who equalled Picard's SO the
first day, only to fall behind with a
second round 73.
Witty Cox of Brooklyn slipped from
his first round SO to a costly 7S for
lat.
Grouped with Revolta at l4l were
Pat Patroni of New York, Chandler
Harper of Norfolk, Va, and KY Laf-
foon of Denver.
Walter Hagen, arriving a day late
for his start, carded a 73 and today
faced a 36-hole stretch to catch up
with the field.

faltering step forward tonight with
Art Lasky and Jimmy Braddock
earnestly endeavoring to eliminate one

Coincident with the arrival from

rumors that Schmeling. on the
strength of his technical knockout
victories over Walter Neusel and Steve
Hamas, already is matched with Max
Baer for a title fight in June.
These rumors proved not a little

Johnston is a trifle too optimistic if he

YOHN HENRY LEWIS, highly touted
u Negro light heavyweight from

Jimmy floored the Negro in an early
round and punched out a victory on
points.
He always has had knack Of up
setting the dope, the most notable ex-
ample being his knockout Of Tuffy

Lasky, younger. a better boxer and
holding a pull in the weights of 9

sometimes flies out the window when

DISTRICT BILLS
AGAIN DELAYED
Tentative Day Cancelled.
ID Bills Now Await
ing Action.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Tentative plans for O District day
in the House Monday were Cancelled
today by Speaker Byrns because Of q
desire to rush through important ma
tional legislation. Indications are the
IA bills now on the calendar will not
be considered until at least July "a.
The District lest its regular day last
Monday when the House took up the
utility holding company bill. Byrns
promised Chairman Norton of the
District Committee he would try to
arrange to call up the District cal
endar July IS. On that day. the
Speaker said, the House probably will
begin consideration Of the alcohol
control bill and follow that with other
administration measures. which make
the chance of a District day next
week exceedingly slim.
Byrns said. howeve-. If the House
disposes Of the national bills before
the end of the week, he would en-
deavor to arrange E special District
day, but at the some time Indicated
that it was unlikely.
Two Controversial Items.
The next regular District day Is
July % and at that time Mrs. Norton
will make an effort +, clear the House
calendar Of as many Of the IA ellis as
possible. Only two Lf them are re-
garded as consroverSial-the Ellen
bogen bill to revive the wartime rent
commission and Senate-approved
bill to liberalize he District divorce
law
Three of the other bills are de-
signed to change the Police Court
jury system in accordance with rec
concentrations Of the Special Crime
Investigating Committee Others pro-
vide for q semi-annual mechanical
inspection of motor vehicles and raise
the standards Of the legal profession.
The Ellenbogen rent control bill
has been on the calendar for more
than a month and has been passed
over on the last two District days be-
cause Of its controversial nature
Pressure is being exerted on Mrs. Nor
ton, however. to call 1t up as soon as
the House grants the District another
day.
Divorce Bill Amended.
The liberalized divorce bill has just
been placed on the calendar as q
result Of the action Of the full Dis
trict Committee Wednesday in favor
ably reporting it with q series of
amendments. The major changes
eliminated cruelty and incurable in
sanity for five years as grounds for
an absolute divorce. A limited decree
would be granted on grounds of cruel
ty, however, and at the end Of two
years 1t woud become absolute If the
separated couple are not reunited.
While Mrs. Norton does not expect
the House, to pass all IA bills on the
calendar on the next District day,
she does hope to push through the
jury bills and the measure requiring
semi-annual inspection of motor vehi-
cles. The changes in the jury system,
as well as the motor vehicle inspec-
tion, were recommended by the Com
missioners, and, as far as is known, no
opposition has developed since the
measures were reported out of COM
mittee.
