PIG. A. Victory Brings
Proof That Picard's
Pan Isn't Frozen
Resolved Not to Smile
Until He Had Won
Big Tournament
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK July 17.-Henry
Picard, whose frozen" face has been
seen at practically all the major
golf tournaments for Is years, final
ly has proved he can smile
He turned on a big grin Saturday
when he sank his putt for a birdie
on the 37th hole at the Pomonok
Country Club and thus defeated
Open Champion Byron Nelson in
the final match for the national
P. G. A. title.
Some one asked him about it, and
Picard said:
I've been trying to win a big one
all my life. and decided to wait
until I did before I smiled"
Had Sworn Of Match Play.
Picard never had been able to lift
the p G. A. or the National Open
title although he took plenty of
other important events. Only three
years ago he sWore he never would
take part in another match play
tournament after he had failed for
the third straight time to get past
the first few rounds.
Now he's not only holder of the
title the pros like best to win. but
he's the seasons leader in every
respect. His sharpshooting during
the week-long tourney gave him
the lead in the Vardon Trophy COM
petition with 393 points to Nelson's
353. The s1.100 prize money brought
his winnings for the year up to
$8,117.
With the title automatically went
a place on the Ryder Cup team,
which will meet the British pros
in Florida in November.
More Wrangling in Offing.
Nelson also holds a place on the
team because of his victory in the
Open, but there may be a lot OF
wangling before the rest of the
squad is named. Feeling still is
running high because of the con-
flict last week between the playing
pros and the P. G.. A. Executive
Committee over the eligibility of
Denny Shute. And the rest of the
team is to be named by the Execu-
tive Committee on the recommen-
dations of special committee that
includes Walter Hagen, Leo Diegel
and Ed Dudley, three leaders in the

OKLAHOMA CITY, July IT,
Harry Todd of Dallas wears the
Western amateur golf crown, but
he had to win a double battle to

gusty Oklahoma wind.
Todd, 22-year-old insurance sales

attracted nearly 200 of the Nations S

how to beat the wind. Moller, how

Dell in Bout With

At Eight Rounds; Wilson
Matched With Finozzo

Frankie Wills, District welter-
weight who has been plodding along
the f1stic highway in comparative
obscurity these many months, gets
the opportunity to improve his rating
tonight at Griffith Stadium, where
he is scheduled to box Carl Dell of
New York in the eight-round feature
OF club card. The first bout is
scheduled for $3.50 o'clock.
Victor in his last % fights, Dell
will go into action a slight choice
over the District lad, and while there
is chance for an upset it is ex-
tremely remote.
Long Route for frankie.
Dell is rugged individual, well
trained and well able to 60 the dis
tance, while Wills has shown a lax
attitude and lack of conditioning.
The distance figures to stop frankie,
inasmuch as it is the first time he's
tried to 60 more than six rounds.
While no name" fighters are on
the program, there should be enough
action to keep the customers from
yawning. Ivan Nedomatsky's bout
with Joey Spangler, for instance,
should be corking good one if the
former University Of Maryland ring
star is in shape. Spangler has been
winning consistently and figures to
offset Nedomatsky's vaunted punch

BY the Associated Press.

BY tue ESSOCldteC fTeSS.
BERLIN, July 16-Rudolf Harbig,
who once hated to run, has developed
rapidly into Germanys outstanding
1910 Olympic hope in the middle dis
tances. Known for his strong fin
ishes, this slim, smooth-running, 25-
year-old Dresden athlete has reached
peak form this season under the pa
tient coaching of one of Germany S
best trainers, Waldemar Gerschler.
He bettered Elroy Robinsons Off
cial world record by three seconds
and was nearly two seconds under
Sydney Wooderson's unofficial world
mark yesterday when he ran 800
meters in lass at Milan, Italy, in
an Italian-German meet Wooder-
sons record of 1:484 was made last
year, but hasn't been passed upon
by the International Federation.
Cob Helps His Training.
When he isn't training nights or

exercise hurrying up and down stair
ways to check meters and collect
money from Dresden Water & Gas
Co. patrons.
Harbig joined a Dresden sports
club, wilder Mann" wild Nam
when he was 13, but gave it up be-
cause he didn't like to run. He was
10 before he started running again
this time for the "Brandenburg'
Sport Club in cross country races.
When he entered the Army in 1888
Harbig abandoned cross country run
ming for the middle distances and
even tried the sprints. He is cred
tied with times of 106 for 100 me-
tiers, 215 for 200 meters and 468 for
400 meters.
His improvement Swift.
Then the NaZis sponsored a meet

ran the 800-meter race in 2:04. Then
Gerschler took over his training
Harbig improved so rapidly he won
the German junior championship in
1855. but in the 1896 Olympics he
failed to place in the 800-meter trials
Studying the form of others, Har-
big soon was running the 300 con-

held August 2.
Argyle is the baby member of the

For U. 5. Play

8 Strokes; Entries to
Close in Fortnight

1t may be a little early to talk
about it, but only little more than
two weeks remain before the closing
of entries for the women's national
golf championship, in which at least
four or five Washington women will
play at Noroton, Conn, starting
August 81.
Women's handicaps in the Wash
ington area must be cleared for the
purposes of the championship
through the Women's Eastern Golf
Association. Entries will be accepted
from players having handicaps not
exceeding eight strokes, which per-
mits quite large group of Wash
ington women to play in the tourney,
if they wish to do so.
Will Accept Attested Scores.
Entries from players who do not
have their handicaps cleared through
sectional association will be ac-
cepted. provided the player submits
five dated and attested score cards
showing a scoring range within the
handicap limits. These scores and
the entry must be received at the
Office of the United States Golf As
sociation by 5 pm. August 2, little
more than two weeks hence.
Although some of the prospective
entrants from Washington haven't
definitely made up their minds, in
all probability Mrs. Myron Davy,
Mrs. Betty P. Meckley, Marion
Brown and Mrs. Leo Walper, the new
District champion, will play in the
national. Mrs. Walter r. Stokes OF
Indian Spring also may go.
If all of them compete Washing
ton will have quite an impressive
group. but on the record they won't
60 far. None of the local players
ever has gone past the second round
in the big tournament, not even
Helen Dettweiler, who now is pro-
fessional.

will be Patty Berg, present holder of
the title: Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page.

And although it may be several
years in the making, Helen Dett-
weller thinks that sooner or later
many of the major womens tourna-
ments will be open to women pro-
fessionals. The United States wom-
ems championship now is open only
to amateurs. Helen's own tourna-
