 It was before Joe Louis, Sam Snead, Joe Gordon, Billy Conn or any of 1939's football heroes were born. Gene Tunney wasn't to be- come known as fighter for 10 more years and J. Donald budge. at the age of two months. had just begun work on his backl1and and hadn't even started to practice on serves.
 The war interrupted the Hitch- cock career for year or two and Tommy traded his ponies for fight ing planes. But he was back on the turf in 1919 and 1920 was ranked as seven goaler Only twice since then has he missed the perfect rat ing, and once he was simply toe busy with business to give polo enough of his time.
 The surprising thing, even more surprising than the fact that ht has out-lasted every contemporary is that he has lost none of his skill Last summer while Hitchcock was leading the United States to victory over Great Britain in the interna- tional cup. Deveroux Milburn - a truly great player in his own righ. a few years ago told me Hitch- cock was better than ever.
 "He may tire bit near the end now,' Milburn said, but he is just as fast and smarter. You can't pick a smarter player anywhere in the world"
 So perhaps 1t is just as well Whalen overlooked him. The man who forged the time capsule admits 1t will last only 2,000 years. By that time treless Tommy will be barely middle-aged.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent,

Atlanta, Ga, December 14 - (UP) When Grover Whalen sealed his time capsule and buried 1t deep in the heart of what only yesterday we were calling the World of Tomorrow, he carelessly neglected to include the most enduring ob- ject to be found anywhere.
 refer to tireleSs Tommy Hitch- cock, who others refer to as the Peter Pan of Polo or the Methuse- lah of the Mallet If any living mortal. and I don't exclude any holdover from the stone or iron ages, deserved a place in the World Fair capsule along with the books and bottles and toys and trinkets, 1t was Hitchcock and no other.
 Whalen could have done much worse. He could have searched val- leys, climbed mountains and sailed all the seas - Atlantic, Pacific and high - without discovering a bit of bric-a- -brac capable of ranking one- two with Hitchcock for sheer, down. right, free-style Instability The Hitchcock capacity for endurance Is immense; he is, honestly, a glutton.
 And there Is no reason to believe this enormous appetite for ageleSs- ness ever will diminish. For the United States Polo Association has announced the rankings for 1940 and guess who heads the 500 odd gentle men who take their exercise by par ticipating in what amounts to a slightly modified version of hari- kari on horseback?
 If you can't score 10 on that brain -twister, I won't forgive you but will tell you. The answer is Hitchcock. And I'll tell you even more. The year of l940 will be the 18th in his 2l seasons of hell fol leather galloping taht Hitchcock will carry the honor of a perfect l0-goal rating.
 Nothing Better
 As you know, A l0-goal rating Is the equivalent of a 400 batting average in baseball, a score of 65 in golf, a hand of 13 spades in bridge or seven straight passes in the grand old recreation known as barnyard golf, There is no higher rating in polo and the score of 10 goals is so awersome that in some years no player in all the 500 attains it.
 Now consider Hitchcock's record He started the same year he dis carded his three-corrsred pants, probably because they didn't wear well on a horse. By 1914 he had

T., Townies, who for the past two seasons have given the Liths their hardest fights, matching their talent for scoring fast and often to the delight of the customers.
 Winners of the Northern Rhode Island A. A. U. tourney for the past two seasons and unbeaten by a state rival for three years, the Townies took IS of 22 games last season, one of their four losses coming at the hands of the Knights as they split two contests with the locals at the Brooklyn hall. Capt. Wilson Farley, a brilliant shoemaker and skilled defensive player, will show at guard along with Dave Clark, former Georgia Chain Gang performer.
 Charles Dobozynski, of last sea- sons Rhode Island 0. Y. o. champs, will hold down the center post and forward duty will be divided be- tween Len Soup" Campbell, of last years Brown university quintet, and Alex Plociak, flve-year veteran of the Townies.
 The Pawtucket team has been in- vading Connecticut the past two years and mopping up in general without too much trouble outside of Waterbury and may always be counted on to give a splendid &C., count of itself.
