...Open Polo Championship last week reached its final round. Across the close-cropped turf of Meadowbrook Club, Westbury, L. I., the Sands Point team, headed by Thomas Hitchcock Jr., only 10-goal U. S. poloist, charged to decisive victory and a chance to cross mallets with the Hurricanes, Irish-American four. The Hurricanes, led by Irish Capt. C. T. I. Roark, internationalist who has played on Spanish, French, Irish, English, and Indian polo fields, had defeated but one team (The Roslyns) in order to meet the two-time victorious Sands Pointers in the deciding match...

The Old Aikens-the college team, three parts Yale, one part Harvard. They have played together for years.

The Post Office Department has not been on a paying basis since Frank H. Hitchcock was Postmaster General (1909-13). In 1924 the deficit was 13 millions; in 1928, 32 millions. Fiscal 1929's "operating" deficit was 95 millions, to which had to be added 42 millions for back pay to railroads for mail transportation. Unless something was done and done promptly, President Hoover foresaw where...
