Vaping late in gentlemen, this is Bill Stearns broadcasting from Chicago. We're in Chicago to broadcast the International Golf Championship. But here in Chicago tonight, we're ready to bring you a 357th edition of the Colgate Shave Cream Sports News Rail featuring strange and fantastic stories.

Some little legends others may or here say, but also interesting, we'd like to pass them along to you. Our guest tonight in person is one of America's most famous orchestra leaders, Sammy K. But before we bring you Sammy K, let's begin with real one.

Portrait of fate. Once again big time international polo matches are being played. And because polo has come back on Saturday August the 24th, two weeks ago, the New York Times carried a polo story that's one of the strangest I've ever heard.

heard. For the New York Times story was the legend of Tommy Hitchcock. Tommy Hitchcock was born of rich parents. He was a millionaire son. And yet at the age of 17 during the last World War, Tommy Hitchcock ran away, ran away and enlisted in the French Air Corps.

He shot down two German planes before he himself was shot down and captured by the Germans. It mattered not to the Germans, but Tommy Hitchcock came from one of America's wealthiest families. All they knew was that he was a prisoner of war.

That is, he was a prisoner of war until one day he managed to escape, and for five days and five nights, seventeen-year-old Tommy Hitchcock roamed around the German countryside. He knew that if he'd be caught, he'd be shot.
