Los Angeles, Feb. 2l.--(UP)-. There may be a better, quicker formula for success than staying the distance with Joe Louis fin a prize fight ring, but those of us who sat around Arturo Godoy's hotel suite here yesterday have our doubts.
 Even marrying the boss daughter, or winning the democratic primary in Alabama doesn't furnish squick a cut to fame and fortune. Three weeks ago, before Godoy went 15 rounds with the champion in Madi- son Square Garden, he was as un- known as the cause of common cold. His name was @ household that of mamma and Pappa Godby. somewhere down in Chile.
 Now you should see him.
 In Style
 He travelled across country iil the elegance of a inaharajah. His brief stops at such points as Kansas City and St. Louis brought out cheering crowds. He was interviewed and photographed and his listeners hung on his words like acrobats on a
 
 horizontal bar.
 Los Angeles and nearby, Holly wood, neither of which is un. accuntomed to celebrities, were ex- cited by his arrival. The man nobody knew three weeks ago was besieged by so many offers and in- vitations that his charge d'af- affaires could not handle all of them and was forced to engage an assistant b ythe day.
 The movies wanted him. Holly wood called up to ask him if he was available to make several short sub- jects and even the mighty zanuck expressed an interest in having him play in a new super-production, "The South American Way.
 Radio concerns kept his phone busy. Could he speak on this hour? Could he tel of his fight with Louis on his fight with Louis on this IS minutes? And would he have time enough to guest star on the national hookup?
 The theaters went right out and hired him. without asking to see

 Godoy couldn't accept all the of- fers. There were too many even for a set of Siamese twins, working in double shifts. So, with the aid of his tour manager, Billy Mo- Carney, he sifted them out and took only the best. Time was consid- eration, too, because Los Angeles is not the only city that wants a peek at the man who stayed with Louis. He must leave within ten days ot fulfill engagements in Buffalo, Pe- oria, Sauk Center and way points.
 For the moment he is much more of an attraction than the man who licked him. Louis beat him, and kept the title, but dropped into comparative obsctuity, while Go- doy was vaulted into the position of a national figure.
 Godoy is not the only man who has feathered his nest with dollar bills on the strength of having sur- vive6 fifteen rounds with Louis Tommy Farr's defeat by the cham piOn was worth much more to him than any victory he ever scored.

Has Never Played in Los- ing Match Against
 English
Third of 12 stories on "T'he Biggest Sports of AL"
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Spr0st Editor

BY HARRY GRAYSON
 NEA Service Sprost Editor
 New York - There never was polo player like Tommy Hitchcock. There probably never will be.
 In his 40th year he was born in 1900 - he's still at the top, rated at 10 goals along with the young CT Cecil Smith of Texas and the considerably younger Stewart Ingle- hart of New York.
 After you've reached a 10-goal rating in polo, you can't go any higher. But Hitchcock hasn't started down yet and, judging by the polo he turned in against the British In. ternational team last June at Mea- dow Brook, he's not going to start on his way down for several years.
 Five times he has helped the United States defeat British teams for the International Cup in '21, '24, 80 and '39. Teams with which he played have never lost a cup match, not to mention a series, to England.
 You'd think Hitchcock would find his biggest thrills in inter- national competition. But he tells you some of his greatest thrills have come in the club 20-goal championship With 8 couple of youngsters, Alan Corey and Billy Chisholm, who improved amazing ly under his tutelage.
 NEVER LET'S GAME BE
 MORE THAN A HOBBY
 Hitchcock played through the club championship with his young neph- ews, Julian Peabody, Jr., and Averell Clark, as teammates. Both are on the way to becoming first rate play CTS.
 The secret of Hitchcock's polo Is chat the game has never been more than hobby with him. It has not been permitted to interfere with his banking business. The year round, Q a. m. finds Hitchcock in his office.
 In the winter, he lives in New York ...... travels to his office by subway. In the summer, he lives at Sands Point on Long Island,

are not scheduled to challenge again for the trophy until 1943, and, be- cause of the war, may not be able to do so even then.
 But regardless of whether he gets in another hitch against England Or Argentina, Hitchcock has written a glorious chapter in international polo which only Devereaux Milburn can possibly challenge. And Mill burn, Americas back star from 1909 to 1927, will be the first to testify that Tommy Hitchcock is the daddy of them all.
 Milburn, the veteran, and Hitch cock, then the youngster; were team mates on the international teams of '2l, "A, and '27.
 Asked to name the greatest game of polo he ever saw, Tommy Hitch cock play ,sthe straight-spoken Dev- ereux Milburn replied:
 T can't tell you that because I never saw Tommy Hitchcock play bad game of polo"
 NEXT: Dwight F. Davis and the
 Davis Cup.

lands his own seaplane on the East River at the foot of Wall Street. He learned to fly as fighting ace in the World War while in his teens.
 He never leaves his office before 4:30 D. m. even during the polo sea- son. When his team is scheduled for practice during the week, the club manager schedules the match for 5:30. He knows Hitchcock will not be available before that time.
 Hitchcock may break away from the office for couple of weeks of polo at Aiken, s. O., during early April. That's the only time the sport is permitted to interfere with his business.
 LEARNED HORSEMANSHIP
 FROM HIS MOTHER
 It was Tommy Hitchcock's re- markable mother who established the horse colony at Aiken. It was there that Hitchcock and a number of others learned much of their horsemanship under her teaching.
 Winter finds Hitchcock playing in- door tennis and boxing almost daily His trainer, Joe Fitton, an old-time boxer, testifies Tommy has a real wallop with an eight-ounce glove as well as polo mallet.
 Yes, Hitchcock, rounding into shape for his 18th season of 10-goal polo, rides alone. As a hitter, he is all by himself. As a tactician, he's the Rockne and McGraw of polo combined. No wonder there has come from England the modulated version of the current baseball wall, Break up the Yankees" Only the British say, Break up Hitchcock"
 They have sent their toughest and toughest horsemen against him the late Capt. Pat Roark, Gerald Balding, Humphrey Guiness. But the answer mas ayways been: "There's no defense against Hitch- cock"
 Tommy Hitchcock was on the na- tional championship team as early as 1916. He helped win the inter- national cup for the first time in '2l. He has explained American teams, except in 1886, since 1928.
 WAR MAY POSTPONE
 ENGLISH BID UNTIL 1943
 He has learned through many seasons how to pace himself and his mounts. But when the chips are down he has to get in and dig, Hitchcock is unbeatable.
 Perhaps Hitchcock has played his last international polo. The British
