The CLEO II detector at the e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} storage ring CESR has been used to search for two-photon production of the f{sub J}(2220) decaying into {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} . No evidence for a signal is found in 4.77 fb{sup {minus}1} of data and a 95{percent} C.L. upper limit on [{Gamma}{sub {gamma}{gamma}}B{sub {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}}]{sub f{sub J}( 2220)} of 2.5thinspthinspeV is set. If this result is combined with the BES Collaboration{close_quote}s measurement of f{sub J}(2220){r_arrow}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} in radiative J/{psi} decay and the recent CLEO result for [{Gamma}{sub {gamma}{gamma}}B{sub K{sup 0}{sub S}K{sup 0}{sub S}}]{sub f{sub J} (2220)} , a 95{percent} C.L. lower limit on the stickiness of 102 is obtained. This result for the stickiness provides further support for a substantial neutral parton content in the f{sub J}(2220) . {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society }
