Greentree Plays
Polo SemifinalS
TOM HITCHCOCK
LEADS U. STEAM
IN BIC BATTLE
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

International News Service Sports Editor
WESTBURY, N. Y, Sept. 16
Tommy Hitchcock, greatest polo
player of the generation, and Ar.
gentina, one of its greatest teams,
will have at each other just once
more today with Greentree and
the South Americans meeting in
the semifinals of the national open
championship, while old sores are
reopened and old rivalries re-
newed. They've been doing 1t,
off and on, for the last eight years
but the time doesn't temper the
violence of the occasion or soften
the impact of horseflesh with
mans.
OLYMPIC CHAMPS
Anyhow, the checks are dis
tinctly down this time. The Ar
gentines are practically the same
team that won the Olympic cham
pionShipS in Berlin last summer.
Greentree already has won the
national title twice in a row and
wants to make it three for a rec
ord. Meantime, Old Westbury,
with an almost incredible record
of IS goals in two matches here, is
awaiting the winner in the final
round on Sunday.
So today's soiree Is merely a
matter of survival, not Of final at
| tainment.
FLEET PONIES
Greentree, said to be mounted
with the fleetest ponies, also seems
to have the better riders in Pete
Bostwick, the old steeplechase
man; Gerald Balding, the Anglo
American; Hitchcock and Jock
Whitney. But the Argentines
bring to the event a gusto and
fervor seldom witnessed in the mel
lower North American chimes.
They have the best back in polo,
namely, Manuel Andrada. They
have fine No. 3 in Andre Gazotti
and the other two are the Duggan
brothers, Luis and Heriberto. Luis
is a great No. 2 That Heriberto,
youngest player on the field, didn't
look like any chump last Sunday,
either.
All told, it ought to be . polo

! will be.

Vic Smith Hid in Graveyard Three Days Eating
Rosebuds and Snow Because He Carried Drink
of Whisky to 2 Friends on Indian Reservation

Smith was still intent upon going
to the Black Hills, but could get no. one
to make the trip with him through the
hostile Indian country that interviewed,
so spent the rest of the year hunting
and trapping in his Ole haunts.
Became Government Scout
In 1876 Smith became a government
scout attached to various military de-
tachments serving in the Indian
country of Dakota. eastern Montana
and northern Wyoming. He remained
in that capacity until the Indian wars
were over in the later seventies. Dur
ing that time he served under both
many narrow scapes and thrilling eX-
periences and established the reputa-
ton of being one of the most resource
full and capable among the corps of
experienced plainsmen who guided the
United States cavalry on their expe-
ditions in pursuit of marauding bands
of Indians and kept the military COM
of the Indians who went "off the res
e%rvation."
When Smith was a youth on the
plains of Dakota, buffalo grazed over
the hills in thousands: By the early
eighties the hide hunters had made
tremendous inroads on the herds.
In 1883, however, there still remained
one last big herd,' a band OF approx
imately 10000 head on the Cannonball
and Moreau rivers in what is now
North Dakota.
The Indians, who had watched with
grave apprehension for several years
the diminishing size of the herds, de-
cided that their big game was about
to disappear entirely as a result of the
white mans hunting methods, so re-
solved to get what they could out of
the biggest remaining herd, before it,
too, was eXterminated.
In the fall of that year Chief Sit
ting Bull and 1000 members of his
tribe came to where the big herd was
roaming and started in to kill the ami
mails. Their first days run Melted 1000
buffalo.
Day in and day out, from early
morning until late in the afternoon
the Indians hunters followed the herd,
cutting off a few here and a few there
and slaughtering them, mostly with

in his conviction, there We're no wit
nesses to appear against him, and he
was discharged.
Vic Smith is listed by those who knew
him as one of the most interesting OF
the early day plainsmen.
Carried Mail When a Lad
When but a boy in his teens he car
ried a government mail route from Fort
Totten on Devils lake in North Dako-
ia, to Fort Abercrombie in the valley
of the Red River of the North. The
distance between the two posts was
14O miles. The only habitation in that
entire stretch of country which HI
traversed was hat of a white settler,
During the second year that Smith
carried the mail. that settler was muir
dered by Indians. During the summer
Smith Travelled on horseback. In the
winter he made the journey by dog
team.
In 1872 Smith quit carrying mail and
engaged in hunting and trapping. He
joined a party of half-breedS who were
similarly engaged and remained with
them for a considerable time, becom-
ing well acquainted with many of the
in the Indian modes of hunting, trap
ping and living.
The following year Smith went to
Bismarck, which at that time consist
ed of a few cabins, some tents and a
very tough population. He made his
headquarters there for a couple of
years during which time he was en-
gagged in hunting buffalo and trap
ping. His activities were remunera-
tive, but just at that time the gold eX-
element was on in the Black Hills, and
in 1875 he and two other men left
Bismarck headed for that section, in
tent upon trying their luck at digging
gold.
While camped on the Cannonball
river, they were attacked by Indians
night and in the battle which fol-
lowed the Sioux killed one member of
the party, a off their pack horses
and got away with their saddles. Smith
and the other survivor managed to get
to their saddle horses and make their
escape, riding bareback and with only
nose ropes for brides, abandoning. OF
course, all of their equipment. They
returned to Bismarck.

~ WO THIRSTY friends Of Vic
Z ' Smith, for many years a resi-.
dent of Anaconda, once got
him into a jackpot in Dakota
which caused him to become a
fugitive from Indian police and fed
in a graveyard for three days and
three nights with nothing to eat but
rosebuds, and snow to quench his
thirst, and then leave the country in
order to avoid arrest. Years later he
was taken into custody at Miles City
for the offenSe and was taken before
the United States commission at Fort
Buford, Dakota, where he was ac-
quilted.
It was in 1881 that two young men
were running an eating at Poplar
creek on the Sioux reservation In pa
kota. Being on an Indian reservation,
they could, of course, obtain no liquor
there.
Smith, at that time an experienced
buffalo hunter, government scout and
trapper, was a friend of the two. They
asked him TO bring them some whisky
the next time he came their way. he
knew the risk he was running, but ne
took the chance to oblige his two
friends. The Indian police found out
about it and while he was with BOYD
and Knapp at their place one night,
eight Indian police stalked into the
next room, one of them bearing a war
rant for his arrest.
Smith heard the leader of the party
ask for him. He reached for a buffalo
skin overcoat hanging on the wall,
slipped into it and jumped through a
window just as the police entered the
room. Outside he found a Gordon OF
Indians about the place. But luck was
with him.
the building, and he had jumped from
a window on the dark side of the
house and none of them saw him
make the break. When he appeared in
front of them there was nothing to
indicate to the waiting Indians that
he was the man the police sought and

line, appearing to the guards i'm

about his regular business, whatever it
might be.
Indians Learned Mistake
It was only a few moments until the
Indians learned their mistake. But by

hidden. The Indian police, assisted by
government officials. conducted a Wig
orouS search for him. 1t was three
days before the hunt died down suf-
ficiently so that Smith dared leave his
hiding place. He did so safely the
third night, however. At midnight,
when all was quiet about the place, he
came out, took the blankets and equip
ment off the bodies of two dead In
dams who had been Entered" in what
was at that time Indian fashion, in
the open air, and escaped to the hills.
There he caught an Indian pony off
the range and rode.
He quit the Poplar creek country
altogether, and by the time the war
rant did overtake him at Miles City,
the offense was so old that no one at
Fort Buford vas particularly interested

arrows. Squaws followed behind skin
ming the carcasses. The Indians ate
what meat they needed and cured
what they could for winter, but much
of it was wasted. BY Christmas time
the last big herd in the Dakota coun-
try had been virtually wiped out.
Smith was there at the time and
with other white hunters followed
along behind the herd, but keeping
their distance from the Indians, al
though by that time general hostili-
ties had ceased. The whites, however,
took no chances, for many a man lost
his scalp when cornered by a band of
reds in an out of the way place, ever
after peace had been GENERALLY &C.
cepted by the tribesmen.
Smith later came to Montana and
took up land in French gulch, near
Anaconda. where he operated a
ranch. He also maintained a home Ia
Anaconda for his family.
He became a guide for eastern big
game a hunters who sought bear, elk
ton and many of his clients for wears
were rich New Workers..
