It's a Gibbons Town

While all the hordes of strangers
coming in are looking mostly for en-
tertainment. the natives are more in
tent on making money and singing
praises OF Tom Gibbons, the challeng-
er. There is no doubt that this is a
Gibbons town. They look upon him
as a sure winner.
Gibbons had another quiet day Fri
day. He did seven miles on the road.
and then went out shooting prairie
dogs in the afternoon. He is better
with his fists, however, than with a

THE PLAY

Here ~ rather unusual query that I re-
ceiyed from western sports editor.
The batter hits ball for what should be .
legitimate home run the ball passing over
center field fence
On turning frat base bstsman sprains
ankle. He continues on to third. but on
reaching that base rs in such pain that he
can no longer run.
Would II be considered perfectly proper If
ner making IL possible for him TO hObble TO
the plate?
Would 1t be permissible for manager OF
the team at bat 10 remove injured player
from the game. substitute another player.
and permit that player 10 complete the cir
cult by running from third to homef
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-06-09
THE INTERPRETATION

Plays involving an injury TO a bassrunner
always prove Troublesome If runner suf-
fers an injury while ball iB in the playing
field and there is chance TO make a play
the umpire has alternative other than
opermit play to continue
In the case cited the ball was hit over
the fence, entitltng batsman to a home
run. Had I been the umpire In the game ]
would have permitted the coacher to have
helped runner home or would have allowed
manager to substitute a player and permit
him to complete the circuit.
Either ruling would have been in keeping
with common sense adm good sportsman
chin

MORRIS RESIGNATION REGRETTED IN SWEDEN

STOCKHOLM. Feb. 10.-The an- nouncement of the resignation of Ira Nelson Morris. American minister to Sweden. has been received with re- gret here, q feeling which is voiced by the leading daily papers of the capital and other cities, together with praise of his work during the eight years since he was appointed by Pres ident Wilson. Grateful comment is made on Mir. Morris helpfulness in smoothing out difficulties during the World war, and in preserving and promoting the friendship between the United States and Sweden. The Stockholm Tidningen says:
 - "The minister's enthusiasm for more active cultural exchanges be- tween the two countries was genuine; he was prominent in the organization of the Sweden American foundation, and he strongly indorsed the estab- lishment of the American Swed ish News Exchange
 Minister and Mrs. Norris made many lasting friendships in Swedis sh society,"" the Svenska Gadbladet re- marks, due to their charming per- sonalities and sincere kndliness to persons of all degrees. Great admir- ation is expressed for their hospital ity at Oak Hill, the magnificent villa rented from Prince William"
 At the time of his resignation Min ister Morris was the dean of the for eign diplomatic corps in Stockholm.

BOR0UGHS HAPPY LONDON TO HAVE TOWN BAND

London is to have town band. The practicing night has not yet been fixed and no decision has been reached as to whether the musicians uniforms will be copied from the cos tune of the beet eaters" of the Tower of London or the jockey-like c uniforms of the cavalry band, bor- rowed annually from King George for the lord mayors parade.
 The boroughs composing London have long rejoiced in their own brass bands and their earnest. hard play ing performers, but there has never been d band to represent the British capital as a whole One of the first recommendation of Cyril Jenkins, the composer, who was recently ap- pointed musical adviser to the Lon don county council, was that the ex- ample of American cities be followed in the subsidizing of municipal or chestra and band MT. Jenkins point ed out that the musicians brass band was the only kind having a general appeal to the people, most of whom have never attended an Albert hall classical concert
 Composers will be urged to write good music, especially suitable for brass instruments.
