HITCHCOCK REAL
LEADER AMONG
ATHLETIC STARS.
BY MARY X. BROWNE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

Copyright, 1927, by United Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 30
Every athletic event has its hero
very season: its outstanding stars,
averv battle its dramatic moment.
Tommy Hitchcock is to polo what
Eobbv Jones is to golf. Both the
.ssence of skill, intelligence and
yameness.
Tommy Hitchcock, Bobby Jones
md Gene Tunney stand out, in my
opinion, as the dramatic figures in
he battles which make thrilling
sports history.
In practically every respect Tom
NY Hitchcock rode as no other play
ersupon the polo field dared. But
)eyond that, he hit accurately and
Nth more power than any one on
.ither team. His pace was notched
rcyond the best, just as the pace
set by Bobby Jones was so far in
,dvance of all contenders that a
London sports writer said only
when Bobby Jones retires will golf
return to normal.
Tommy Hitchcock started polo at
he age of l3, tutored by his mother,
)no of America s best horsewomen.
Vt Is he was playing big time polo.
Then the war found Tommy flying.
After the war, while Tommy Hitch
'ock was student at Oxford, the
American polo team came to Eng
and to lift the international cup.
Tommy then only 81, filled No. . po-
3itiOn and ever since then has risen
to the heights as the world s great,
st forward.

Historical Film
Plays at Airdome

The greatest American Indian
conspiracy against the western
progress of the white man plays an
important role in "The Frontiers
man. a spectacular film produced
by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer with Tim
Mccoy in the starring role, which
comes to the Airdome tomorrow.
This starring story has to do
| with the efforts of Tecumseh, a
Shawnee chieftain, and his brother,
The Prophet, to orm league with
| Chief Weatherford of the Creek
Confederacy.
This league actually was formed
and included most of the red tribes
from the then northwest to the
Gulf of Mexico. Tecumseh is said
to have secretly journeyed from what
is now Illinois to what is now Ala
bama to lay his plans before Wealth
| erford.
That this strong league of war
like tribes was broken up and the
Creek nation annihilated as fight
ing unit, was due to the efforts of
General William Henry Harrison in
the north and General Andrew Jack
son in the south
During the absence of Tecumseh,

whites. He was met at the battle
of Tippecanoe by Harrison, who Sc
