By GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent

 Although this is. Q minor league convention, all major league clubs are represented and many supply the big news. Many of the major league club owners and managers are in a trading mood and may ne- gotiate trades here in advance of the annual big league meetings in Chicago next month.
 Most of the deals put through so far, have been by the minors. The Galveston Texas League club made the first big deal, getting Outf1elder Charles Hostettler, First Baseman Pete Susko, Inf1elder Daniel Me- Gee, and Pitchers Beryl Richmond and Mark Filley from the Albany International club in exchange for Catcher Bob Linton and cash.
 Max Bishop, veteran American League second baseman cut adrift by the Boston Red Sox, signed to manage the Portland Pacific coast league club.
 Pitcher Bud Timing, formerly with the Chicago Cubs land St. Louis Cardinals, was released on waivers to Indianapolis by the Co., lumbus American Association club.
 Combs to Coach
 The first action taken by the ma- jors was by the New York Yankees who signed Earl Combs, veteran outflelder as @ coach for next sea- son, replacing Joe Sewell. Sewell is after 8 minor league managerial berth.
 A three-cornered deal between the Yankees, Red Sox and Senators is understood to be under negotia- ton. The reported deal was Heinie Manush and Jack Russell going from Washington to Boston; Ben Chapman, Jimmy De Shong and Johnny Murphy going from New York to Washington; Jonathan Stone and Bump" Hadley from Washington; Roy Johnson from Boston to New York.
 Branch Rickey, vice president of the St. Louis Cardinals, Bill Terry. New York Giants manager, and Rogers Hornsby, St. Louis Browns manager, are all here and in a trading mood.
 Deans with Cards
 Hickey announced only eight Car- dinals are sure of their jobs next season. He named Frisch, the two Deans, Moore, Collins, Medwick, Durocher and Haines. Rickey is said to be after Carl Hubbell, Giants southpaw. Two Cardinal players who are coveted by Terry are First Baseman Collins and In. fielder Burgess Whitehead.
 Rogers Hornsby, as always, says he'll trade any man on his ball club If he thinks he can improve the Browns. But Hornsby ended rumors that he was after Al Simmons, White Sox outfielder, to use him in a deal with Detroit.
 The Chicago Cubs are represent. ed by five officials, including Man. ager Charlie Grimm, but contenl- plate no big deals.
 we are trying to make working agreements with several minor league clubs to develop our young players" Grimm said.
 The International League has voted to continue for the fourth year its "Shaughnessy playoffs, making 1t doubtful if the little world series" will be resumed with the American association pennant winner. The International League will play 154 games, with the sea- son opening April l6 and closing Sept. 2.

BRAIN INJURY
 HANDICAP WAS
 BEATEN BY STAR
Popular Athlete Turned in One of Greatest Come
 backs in Sport
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff COrrespOndemH
 New York, December 1S - (UP) = Tommy Hitchcock, who refused to believe that his number was up in 1894 when he suffered Q serious brain concussion, again stands alone at the top of the polo world.
 Shorn of the 10-goal ranking he had held for 1S consecutive years after injury removed him tempor- arily from active play, Hitchcock made a brilliant comeback last sum- mer and was rewarded yesterday when the U. s. Polo Association, in its annual rankings, again gave him the highest rating in the world.
 Hitchcock suffered a concussion several years ago in the east-west matches. In 1884 he took a bad spill, which again sent him to the hospital.
 FOrtitude
 But Tommy fooled his critics - came back equipped with a special helmet to protect his head and led greentree to its first triumph in the U. s. open championship tourna- ment last summer.
 The one-tiine world war flyer, on the first day of stern competition since his recovery, scored nine goals against Long Island and then carried the brunt of the attack as Green- tree smashed to the title with 7-6 overtime victory over Aurora.
 Hitchcock, now 35 years old, is the only 1O-goal man in the world. At the start of 1894 he shared that honor with Cecil Smith, hard-riding Texan, and Elmer Boeseke, Cali fornia.
 All Alone
 Behind his return to form stands one of the greatest sports records of all time. He has been playing high-goal polo since the end of the World War. His 13-year streak at the top of the heap represents the longest period any player ever held that honor. He played on three open championship teams, five victorious international teams adn led Amer ica to triumph in the 1924 Olym- pic games.
 Yesterdays ratings included other important changes. Winston Guest and Smith, who were ranked at nine goals last year along with Hitchcock, were. dropped to eight. Gerald Bidding, who played number 3 on Greentree, was upper one to nine-the only man in that bracket.
 Other men who gained the eight goal mark, both of them being rais- ed one. were Stewart B. Iglehart and Elbridge T. Grey, both mern- bers of Aurora's semi-fnal four.

New York, Dec 18-The sons and daughters of old Hambletonian the Tenth, the Abraham of the trotting horse tribe, will pull their little bug gies over the Rockies and into Cal ifornia next summer for the first grand circuit meeting ever held west of the Mississippi.
 It's very fitting that Hambleto- nian's descendants will be the lead- CTS in this latest gold rush, for the old man was foaled in May, 1849, just when the citizens of the coun- try were lighting out for California and the real gold rush.
 New Track
 The trotters will make their Cal ifornia debut at Pomona about Sept. 20, then to San Francisco and finally to San Diego, where million dol- lar plant is under construction. The far western invasion will end with 8 six-week meeting at Phoenix, Arizona.
 The long choo-choo ride should not b other the trotters much because they are bred and trained to stand
