Pick belonged to the DFC Prague , for which he was active as a goalkeeper from 1902 to 1905 .

After the staging of a German football championship was announced for the first time by the game committee of the German Football Association for the 1902/03 season, it took place from May 3 to May 31, 1903. One representative from each of the existing local and regional associations was eligible to participate; usually the master. Until 1904, German associations based abroad were also permitted, of which the " Association of Prager German Football Associations " - from 1900 to 1904 also a member of the Austrian Football Union - made use and DFC Prague, as one of 86 founding clubs , sent into the race.

The meeting with the Karlsruher FV planned for May 10, 1903 in Munich did not take place due to the objection of the Prague to let the game be played in Prague because of the higher expected income and the objection of the Karlsruher against this setting. As a result, and for reasons of time, both clubs were approved by the DFB for the semi-finals. But a forged telegram with the content of a renewed postponement of the match date prevented the Karlsruhe FV from making the trip to Leipzig, which resulted in a disqualification on the part of the DFB.

The DFC Prague team, which advanced to the final without a fight, according to research by the IFFHS with seven Austrian players who were not part of the team, lost 7-2 to the Central German champions VfB Leipzig on Sunday, May 31 in Altona .
