VANDALIA, O., Aug. 37. (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. Bay Zwelner of Blooming
Prnlrle, Minn., Is the defending pre
liminary champion.
J. B. Royall, Tallahassee,' Fla., rail
way conductor, winner of the 1935
Orand American Handicap, will not
defend his laurela this year, due to
the Illness of hla wife, but Zwelner
waa on the firing line today.
In addition to tha loo-target pre
liminary, the national double title
waa up for decision todsy. Joe Hle
stand of Hlllaboro. o., la the defend
ing champion In that event where
two targets are tossed at once. He la
the favorite to repeat.
He repeated Tuesday for the North
American clay target championship,
and yesterday broke 300 In a row
ftom the 18-yard mark to take the
nBttonal class AA championship.

troue road trip of the campaign, the

Barry gained fame because of his
14 count" in the seventh round of
.he memorable battle when Dempscy
knocked Tunney sprawling. Barry
admitted he counted 14 over Tunney
because Dempsey refused to retire to
a neutral corner after scoring the

of the Illinois state athletic commis

"If, however, Owens should stay In

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

DUDE CHICK GIVEN
TASK OF TAMING
Another whirlwind wrestling card,
liberally sprinkled 'with . me&nles to
match the hair-raising battlea seen
in the past two weeks, was announced
for next Monday by Promoter Mack
LUIard today. 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. Promotera aay
he .la the best drawing card on the
racmc coast.
Joe Hubka, lean, graceful and fast
Nebraskan. matchca hla skill with the
Tulsa Blacksmith. George Craig. In
the middle bout. Craig haa forged hla
way to the fore with his anvil flip,
earning a spot against Hubka when
he annihilated Johnny Soos with It
In brief time Monday. In Hubka.
Craig will be meeting hla toughest op
ponent so far In Medford, and fans
are anxloua to aee how his wrestling
stacks, up against the brilliant mat
work of the Cornhusker. Hubka has
taken his last two matches, and la
shooting for a crack at Chick, pos
slbly next week.
The opener Is expected to be the
hslr-rslslngest on the card, with
Johnny Soos, bow-legged and mean
Indlsnan, meeting Pat "Franken
stein" O'Brien. The stalwart old
Hibernian, fvlth a hull like a bat
tered outrigger canoe, but with the
heart of a battleship, la not likely
to take Soos' rough treatment with
out firing a tew of hla own broad
sides. Attendance at the weekly grunt
fest slumped several weeks ago. but
rocketed with the advent or tlie
rough house, lads. The crowd Is ex
pected to rise again thla week, the
