HITCHCOCK TO CARRY
U. S. BURDEN IN POLO
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The passing Of Devereux Milburn and
Malcolm Stevenson from international
polo, together with current events of
the polo season, makes 1t certain that
Tommy Hitchcock, youthful veteran Of
American forces, will assume much of
the burden Of defensive play when the
British send over another challenging
team in 1880.
Instead Of the No. post that Hitch
cock made famous. Tommy now is con-
centrating on playing No. 8, where he
can combine defensive work with &C.
casional sorties into enemy territory.
With Eric Pedley of California now In
the East. the rest Of the international
talent is being given a series of tests
with an eye to the 1880 big. four" line
up. Pedley has played No. most OF
the time. but performed nicely at No
3 last Sunday in his first Eastern game
Young Earl Hopping, whose father is
bringing q British team over here late
this season, and Winston Guest are
other top-ranking candidates for any
American team. So Is Averell Harri-
man, who played q good No. l on the
1928 array that turned back the
Argentines.
A lineup composed Of Guest, No. /:
Hopping, No. 2; Hitchcock, No. 8, and
Pedley at back, might fill all require
ments.

YANKS HAD FIRST
CHANCE AT F0XX
Baker Tried to Sell Him to
Higgins Before Calling
on Connie Mack.
BAKER. former Mack an,

TRANK BAKER, former Mack and
- former Yankee, decided he was
managing q future great in
i Jimmy Foxx of Sudlersville, Nd,
and caught q train for New
York to tell his friend, Miller Higgins,
all about it.
Baker hung around the Yankees for
three days trying to convince the mite
manager he had a great prospect, but
Miller only laughed at him.
Baker then proceeded to Philadelphia
and Mack agreed to have look at the
young star Of the Eastern Shore League.
Baker got $4,000 for his club on the
sale Of Foxx.
Generally q Glass D club is willing to
sell its star for $4,000 or less. So Baker
went back to EaSton well pleased and
soon Mack likewise was happy.
Not long after Foxx had been sold
there were many scouts down looking
to see If he had any brothers who could
hit the apple.

Base balls used in the Texas League
this year are not lively enough to suit
either club owners or players.
Complaints that they lack the zip OF
those used last year have been contin-
uous since the season began.
The circuit contracted for the same
kind as used In the National League,
but the club owners believe that cullS.

the current collection the

Dresses for daytime are well dowr.
to the calf, and straight in line,
with small belts at the waist. Tweed

shown, with either or both trimmed

black frocks is trimmed with
touches of apple green. Another, of
black crepe de chine, has blue

are obtained with yokes in contrast

the form of leaves. These all fit

Engagement
Should Not
Be TooLOng
BY MARTHA LEE.

Mary is in love. She has been
going with her sweetheart for five
years. She has every reason to
believe. from the way he acts, and
the things he says, that he loves
her, too.
They have been engaged for al
most two years. She has a beautiful
engagement ring. expensive enough
to make her gasp a little at spend
ing so much for a symbol OF love,
when they were going to have so
many expenses after they were
married.
And the boy has progressed well
in his business. He has had two
or three advancements, accom-
panied by substantial raises.
Three Years of Hope
But they aren't married yet. And
poor Mary, who has been buying
towels and linens and knick-knacks
for her hope chest for three years,
now wonders what it's all about!
She wants to know whether she
should continue to hope, and plan
for that glorious day, when she will
wear a lovely veil, walk down the
aisle Of the church to become Johns
wife, or whether she better had
give it all up, before her hope chest
treasurers becomes yellow with age,
to say nothing about paSse.
Here's her story.
Dear Miss Lee: I have been going with
a boy, whom I love very dearly. for five
years He works nights and makes ample
money to support us both. We have been
engaged for two years now. and he has
given me wonderful gifts and beautiful
engagement ring.
When he gave me the ring, I thought
1t was so foolish to spend that money
on a ring, when we would need furniture
and things for our home, which eX-
pected was to be established soon. But
it isn't, and I am disappointed terribly.
So much time ha selapsed and we still
are just engaged.
Bought Home
His mother is very selfish with him
and makes it unpleasant for both of US.
He bought a home. which We expected
to be our own when we were married.
Now. although his mother has plenty Of
money to take care of all her needs. she
has moved into the house which was to
be home. knowing we two never could
live together. He says he is always be-
tween two fires, trying to please us both.
am not antagonistic toward herA but
I believe 1t has been her interference
which has postponed our marriage for
so long. I will not live in the same
home with her. because she is too critical
and domineering. I know it will never
work.
Would you advise me to give him up
| or should go ahead being engaged in
| definitely, knowing this his mother comes
| first? -
It would be foolish Of you to give
up the boy, when you are in love
with him, and have reason to be-
lieve he loves you too.
Use Feminine Guile
However. it is about time you
| dealt in a little feminine subterfuge,
| to bring about a show down. Five
years is too long for any couple to
be engaged. And especially it is
too long, when the goal is no nearer
in sight than it was five years ago.
Naturally, your sweetheart's
mother is very fond of him. and
