And a Whip Cracker is ... ???

 SCREEN STAR AND NOTED SPORTSMAN ARRIVE FOR POLO ---- LOS ANGELES, CALIF ...... Robert Montgomery, popular film star, and Snowy Baker, well known Australian whip cracker and all-round sportsman, as they arrived at the Riviera Polo Grounds for the match in which Hollywood notables recently participated.  3-23-1933.  


Mr. Montgomery attired in all white ... the impeccable polo player.  Looking good, young man.  But there is something different here.  


Oh, I finally see it.  Bob is au naturel, in this case meaning he has not slicked (oiled) down his hair.  Rather like it this way.  


Whipcracking was actually a sport in Australia.   Wiki has all the information you could ever want to know about it.  I'll stick with baseball.
