(AP) Trapshootlng's greatest show the Grand American Handicap went Into dress rehearsal today aa the nation's premier marksmen staged a 100-tsrget preliminary event built on the same llnea as the classic which cllmaxea the 37th annual program today. TodBy'a preliminary handicap, and tomorrow's Clrand American Handi cap are exactly the same and yet there Is the greatest difference In the world. TTcre Is the same differ ence that prevalla between the Ken tucky derby and any other race In which the same horses are entored. The marksmen, according to their averages for the year on registered targets, are handicapped by being moved back from the traps. The poorest shooters stand on the 16-yard mark and the experts on the 35-yard line, with the others scattered be tween. No winner of the preliminary ever haa won the Grand American, which is the top prlxe any ahooter can an nex. Neither haa any shooter won the preliminary or the Clrand Ameri can twice.

"He will not be adding to his laurels but rather capitalizing on them. And in hla case. It la a per fectly proper thing for him to do. More power to htm. But when ha censes to perform, he simply stops being 'newa. He cannot Inst very long. Therefore his earning days will bo soon ended. "If, however, Owens should stay In the amateur ranks, he would be good as a 'live name' for at least another five years. Owena could write, speak over the radio, act and run all over the world, making at least $20,000 a year and getting a training In busi ness which would fit him to carry on after his amateur athletic day was ended. Presumably, none of his friends are considering what Owena might do for himself aa an amateur. They are thinking in terms of ready cash and quick turnover." I.OS ANGELES. Aug. 37.

Dude Chick, powerful and clever ex-cowpuncher. victor over the present world champion. Alvln Brltt, and one of the most popular men ever to grapple here, will face the unorthodox Bob Montgomery In the main event. Montgomery haa slammed his way to victory in five straight matches here, and haa not dropped a acuffle In thla city. At least one of his vic tories was attributable to wrestling skill, but for the remainder he relied on slugging, biting, kicking and claw ing. Those who have Been the sleep ing potions handed out by the cow- puncher to thla type of opponent have little doubt but that the battle will be a wild one. Chick la rapidly assuming the posi tion as Public Enemy No. 1 to mean- les. He first became popular here when he whirled the scurrilous Ken Hollls Into a lather, and increased his favor when he put the floperoo on Ted Christy. His local record la not unusual for him, and his main worry now is to keep from getting muscle bound signing contracts to devour bullies In California.
