SATURDAY, JULY 21, PASSES AWAY Los Angeles, July 21 (IF) William Hickman Pickens, whose promo tional efforts sent a parade of fam ous figures from Henry Ford to Suzanne Lenglen across the inter national horizon for almost two score years, was dead today. Blood poisoning, indirectly result ing from his last and perhaps fin ancially most successful venture the 500-mile road stock car race here last winter took his life yes terday. Pickens name was associated with many of the pioneers of auto mobile racing, balloon flying, air plane stunting, foot races and pro fessional football and tennis. He was born In Birmingham, Ala., 60 years ago. In the late '90s he started pro moting bicycle races after beginning his career as a competitor in the sport. By 1000 he had jumped to horseless carriages and soon be came associated with a daring young "speed maniac," Henry Ford, whose famous motor Buggy "D! sputtered and back-fired around many a fair grounds horse-racing track. As the industry grew other fam ous pilots raced under his wing and passed on to undying fame, Including Eddie Rickenbacker, Louis Chevrolet and Barney Oldtleld. Keeping abreast of the times or a little ahead Pickens turned to the air in 1907 by staging the first international Gordon Bennett race at Chicago. When asked years later how he made out financially Bill laughed and said: "Well, sir, It was a great artistic success Balloons and autombiles weren't fast enough, so three years later he stepped Into aviation, sponsor ing Lincoln Beachy, one of the ereat early pilots. He staged an Airplane-automobile race and put on an air circus one of the first which he billed as "three miles long and a mile high." When the World war started In 1914. Pickens did much to make the United States government air conscious, staging a night "snam raid on Washington, D. O, which had officials agog the next day when they found the city strewn with sand bags tagged tnus: "This is what would happen if an enemy were to bomb Washing ton." Soon thereafter the United States boueht its first airplanes for de fensive purposes, only to learn later that the rickety crates the fliers had used could not get off the ground burdened with the sand bags. Instead, plckens had raced through the streets in the early hours of morning, hurling them from his automobile. Pickens lost Beachy when the famous flier fell to his death while stunting over San Francisco bay in 1915. Soon, however, he dug up a young daredevil from Texas, Ormer Locklear. "Can you change from one plane to another in miaairv asKea cm, "Sure." said Locklear, so he did, and the world marveled. Pickens promoted one of the first women fliers and is credited in some courses with starting the first air mail bv having one of his Barn storming planes carrying a mail pouch from one city to another, New Zealander Wins Over Princeton Man White City Stadium, Eng., Juluy 21 0p) jack Lovelock, great New Zealand mile runner, today defeated Bill Bronthon of Princeton, in the mile run climax of the annual In ternational track meet between the combined forces of Oxford-Camb- rldee and Princeton-Cornell.

Marlon Corrlgan is employed by the commission at the Eugene hatchery. Recently he was sent on a tour of northern California game larms.

Rauch's well received talk at the banquet of the opening session of the state con vention . of the Izaak Walton leaguers of America Friday night at the Trinity church social rooms. The well known attorney told how we could spiritualize our scen ery opportunities, the glory of which we fall to appreciate because of being so familiar with them, and let the -tourist know of the varie ties of out door beauties at hand in the Oregon country. Rauch listed the recreational opportuni ties of the entire state.

With 500,000 tourists in 1933, averaging nine and one-tenth days stay with an expenditure of $4 per day each, and compared the small numVr purchasing foreign license, he ar gued that we needed a less expens ive inducement to trekkers to leave more money in our state.
