Tommy Hitchcock, Jr., apparently
la slipping from the spot In the
aporta limelight he shared with Babe
Ruth, Jack Dempaey, Bobby Jones,
Bill Tlldan, Helen WUle and Paavo
Kurml In those glamorous post-war
days.
The tumbling of Hitchcock from
10-gosl eminence, the lofty position
he occupied since 1933, very likely
marka the end of his playing career.
Serious Injuries kept him Inactive
laat year and It la doubtful if he
will participate In ohamplonahlp play
again.
Hla career, beginning at the age
of 13 when he played hta first real
polo, haa been replete with action
and adventure.
. At 10 he appeared In tournament
play for the first time and helped
his team win both the national Jun
ior and sonlor champlon&hlpa at Nar
ragansett Plor, R. I.
Just as a triumphant career of
mullet swinging seemed to be unfold
ing aliead of the boy wonder. America
entered the war and Interrupted his
fforta on the polo field.
Hitchcock Joined the air force and
bad the honor of being the youngest
American aviator to destroy an en
emy plane. He allot down two planes
and was thrice decorated before he
himself was forced down In enemy
territory with a bullet In his hip
and his plane out of control. Alter
months In the hospital and prison
eampa, he escaped Into Switzerland.
Discharged In 1019. he waa back
In his old polo form In a short time
Be played abroad, in England and
on the Riviera In 1030.
In 1931 England held the old West
chester cup when the United States
called upon her to defend the Inter
nstlonal trophy. The Amerlcsn teem
wsa composed of Devereux Mllbum
t bsck. Watson Webb at No. 3,
Hitchcock at No. 3, and Louie Stod
dard at No. 1. Aa a result of the
American victory, all four members
of the team were elevated to 10gosl
rating In 1033.
Over the ycers from 1923 to 1933.
Hitchcock played probably the most
ensatlonal polo of any man In the
history of the game. In lnternstlonal
matches, particularly did hla game
rise to great heights.
Por a time, partly due to hla ex
periences In ths war, Hitchcock's
health was not of the beet. But he
simply would not atsy off the polo
fields. In 1934. stimulant were need
ed to keep him going In the cup
mstc.hea with England.
There was something about his
reckless riding snd terrific hitting
mst caught the fancy or the crowd. 1
He had the natural gift of showman-1
ehlp. without conscious effort on his
part to practice It.
Unlike many of our sports champ
Ions, his path of glory waa no Ion,
hard grind. Ills name helped him
there. Polo waa In the very air he
breathed aa a youngster. Hla father
before him waa an International polo
player. The eenlor Hitchcock orga.t
lrl and played on the first Amerlcsn
International polo team.
Tommy made the acquaintance o:
horses and learned how to hsr.rtv
them when he waa still a bsby. Th'

DROPS SIX FEET
Residents of Jacksonville ln.ee t
sertoui situation resulting from the
system of shallow mines that honey
comb the layer of gravel "pay dirt"
six feet below the surface of some
36 properties within the town. ITour
cave-Ins, caused by heavy precipita
tion during the last several weeks,
bave endangered miners and equip
ment, and one five-foot drop 30 feet
In diameter caused a ang In Cali
fornia, or Main, street that has di
verted traffic. No cave-Ins were re
ported Saturday, but residents said
more might occur at any time.
This largest cave-ln la on the
Dave Dorn property, abandoned
when the elide came. The street haa
been fenced off around the sag and
precautions are being taken In other
place where street have been under
mined. Aa yet the city council haa
been unable to prevent miners from
digging under the streets by a rul
ing from the state supreme court.
The highway dppartmnet Is also with
out authority to bring to a stop fur
ther excavatlona which endanger traf
fic. Other properties on which cave-Ins
have occurred are the Johnson prop
erty near the old Catholic church,
where buildings are an Id to have
been thrown at precarious angles as
the ground settled, and the Dave
Dorn property. At the outset several
daya ago of the aeries of rave-Ins,
Oscar Knutson was seriously injured
when caught by a slide he waa trying
to prevent with timbers.
Although conditions were said to he
"stable" Saturday, mlnos have seen
little activity during the last several

by the heaviest rains and snows Jack

Many of the old paangeways were
dug as early aa 1H80, according to
mining men of the historic town.
while most of tbe untlmbered ones
have been excavated In the recent
"backyard" mining revival.

The sum of gains and losses regis
tered by business and Industry last
week eased Into a level looked upon
by nation-wide reports as satisfac
tory In view of conflicting develop
ments.
A high tide of activity surged over
the year-end, and it la now leveling
off under the Influence of an ex
pected seasonal business Increase.
Cold weather and heavy snows In
many sections deprived retailers of
some trade. In Chicago an especially
sharp reversal waa Indicated, and
Kansaa City merchants reported a 4
per cent decline from the corres
ponding week In 1934. Bitter cold tn
Texsa caused millions of dollars loss
to stockmen and vegetable growers.
Reports from construction, steel
and automobile centers were most
heartening of trade guides.
Construction contracts for the first
half of this month were 25 per cent
over the December dally avernge
with residential work leading the
van. Alterations claimed most atten
tion of workers.
SAN FRANCISCO Pacific const
lumber snips, ahead of last year, fell
moderately during the week. Bank
statements showed a general level of
business 14 per cent above a year
ago. Citrus sales were cut by eastern
cold, but general retail and whole
sale trade was fairly steady.

MILK BOARD HEAD
TELLS POMONA OF
Pomona Orange at Sams Valley
schoolhousc, had a large attendance
Saturday afternoon, and after the
regular program. Master Andrews in
troduced E. O. Harlan, chairman of
the Oregon Milk Control board.
Using a number of graphic charts
that showed how Oregon dairymen
were faring under the present law,
Mr. Harlan made a convincing dem
onstration of what the milk law has
done in the way of recovery in the
dairy buslneu. That Oregon's milk
Is higher standard, and still la below
the national average; that produc
ing dairymen on the Portland mar
ket are getting 160.000 more per
month over a year ago; that there
are now 010 shippers on that mar
ket, and that there haa been no loss
in a year, whereas 226 shippers went
off the market due to ruinous con
ditions. Just prior to the sdvent of
the milk law; these and other show
ings were made and they elicited In
teresting comments from Grangers
present.
The fact that Rny GUI, state mas
ter, had spoken favoring the milk
control at the hearing held In Salem
yesterday when the Honeyman bill
was under consideration, was com
n.ented upon favorably by Master
Andrews and Chnlrman Harlan.
A meeting will be held in the
Medford Chamber of Commerce rooms
Hn turd ay evening, and Ashland and
Medford milk dealers and producers
will meet with board represent a Uvea.
Mr. Harlan la accompanied by G. M.
Hafenbrack of the Portland office.

An Indication that the supreme
court had reached a decision on the
legislation suspending gold payments
was seen today by observers In the
fact that the nine Justices did not
hold their regular weekly conference
this afternoon.
Thla waa not conclusive evidence,
however, for the court sometimes
falls to meet on Saturday to discuss
pending cases.
A lengthy session was held last
Saturday. A decision could have been
reached then.
When it will announce an opinion
was known only to members of the
court. It Is generally expected on
February 4.
