REbUKE POLICEMAN
FOR BLOW ON HEAD
London, BIuecoat Ordered to
Use Club on Other
Parts Of Body.
ROUGH GIVEN ADVANTAGE
Few British Peace Officers Are Al.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July ia London police
court Judge rebuked a policeman the
other day for clubbing prisoner over
the head before arresting him. He
did not censure the policeman for
striking the man with his club, as
he was violent, but for striking him
over the head with it. He said the
policeman ought to have hit him over
the legs or on some other portion of
his anatomy.
The incident serves to illustrate a
striking difference between the COM
parative freedom allowed the police
in America in using force in subdu-
ing an obstreporouS prisoner and the
restrictions that are sought to be i'm
posed upon them here under similar
circumstances.
Baited by Crowd.
The man who was clubbed was hail
ed before the police court judge on
the charge of assaulting a policeman
who was trying to get a drunken
woman to police station.
The policeman said he was sur
| rounded by a hostile crowd of about
200. Whitehead-the man who was
body In the struggle both fell to
the ground and some one then kicked
the policeman in the ribs. The police
man drew his club and hit White
head, who was still showing fight,
Just where 1 could reach him
easiest"
In many of London's mean streets
a hostile crowd batting a policeman
Is as common a sight as in the United
States it is a rare one.
Carries No Revolver.
Here the policeman carries
"truncheon." which is by no means
such a formidable weapon as the
American policeman's club. And If
he hits 4 violent prisoner over the
head with it, when he ought to have
hit him somewhere else, he is apt to
get into trouble. Only when he is on
very dangerous beat" does he carry
a revolver. The rough who assaults
him ordinarily runs no risk whatever
of getting shot and very little of get
ting badly hurt Therefore. he is not
afraid of scrap" with a policeman,
especially when drunk.
There is strong feeling here
against arming the police. and it must
be assumed that those who have au-
thority over them know their own
business best and what is best for the
protection of the police.

DON'T EVER CUSS THE
HOME TEAM AGAIN

On last Friday the Cubs and the
Phillies played a 1926 game. There
were 81 hits, and 20 bases on balls.
Callaghan, left fielder for the Cubs,
batted three times in one inning, and
the Cubs made IA scores in that inn
ing. The game lasted over three hours.
When they pull such stuff as that IN
the major leagues, we believe it is time
for the fans to LAY off" the home
team when the scores mount up past
the two-figure mark.
