VALUABLE RELICS
 DUG UP IN LONDON
London Museum Inspector Has
 Many Valuable Finds

London, Aug. 10 R1The scene IS the sidewalk in front of the eXcaNa- tion for q new building. Board-tenc- ing and scaffolding overhang the sidewalk. Under the scaffoldlng short broad -shouldered, spectale led man stands In his hand is satchel. It is the noon hour. AS workmeA emerge through Sae fencing gate they spy the man. whom they call | 'Stoney Jack.' Some of them take him a few bits of metal or stone found in the depths of the founda- ton clay. As the dirty old objects go into the satchel shining half crowns pass from his fingers into the hands of the workmen.
 This is a scene from the life of G. F. Lawrence. inspector of ANca- vations to the London Museum. St. James. It might be titled New Half-Crowns tor Old stones It has come to light only with the resignation of MT. Lawrence from his museum position.
 Forty years ago MT. Lawrence realized that unless someone got busy hundreds of priceless Roman, Savon, Medieval and Tudor London relics buried many score feet be- heath the surface of the city would be lost. So MT. Lawrence himself got busy" EXcavators soon grew aware that his pockets seemed to overflow with half-croWns for those who were lucky enough to have touched with their spades an old Roman stone or a bit of medieval pottery or ornament.
 When "Stoney Jack" became con- nected with the London Museum his shop served primarily as re- ceiving station for the museum. By means of his inevitable satchel and his shop MT. Lawrence has added l2,0o0 objects to the Museum.
 Lawrence has had some strange finds" One Saturday night sev- eral workmen entered "Stoney Jacks" shop with sacks over their backs and thumped out onto the counter several great chunks Of clay
 We've struck toy shop, guy nor," one of them declared.
 Lawrence dissected the clay Jumps. He found in the heart O
 them tangled gold chains of Tudol design, engraved stones of the Stu
 art period, canoes, carbuncles
 rings. amethysts. At intervals dur
 ing the next month the workme1
 returned with handkerchiefs filled
 with jewelry. In this manner tn
 greatest hoard of Tudor and Stuar 1T jewelry ever discovered was gath of cred. One room of the London
 Mueum is full of it, and it is on " of the sights of the Metropolis. n Lawrence is retiring from tn le museum to devote himself who'll III to a shop he set up some years age ne This is the golden age for findin a relics Of old London, he believe ~s because the foundations of the ne he tall buildings being erected mu. h. be sunk far below the Victoria i- level into the rich treasure hous st earth of the Tudors and Stuarts.

BRITON'S HAIL
HAGEN'S GREAT
GOLF TRIUMPH
Critical British Press Pays
Tribute to Comeback of
American Ace

London, May 12.-(AP)-Walte,
Hagen, who has been criticised ad-
versely in the past by the British
press, was acclaimed today for
his dramatic comeback in capturing
the British open golf championship
after his defeat by Archie Compston
in special match.
Having watched Hagen win the
open for the third time tho British
experts were wondering today
whether another American, Glenna
Collett, would have the British
women's golf championship in he,
possession at the end of next week.
Hagcn's capture Of the British
open made the seventh American
victory in nine years and there were
regrets and heart searchings over
the British failure. but no excuses
were offered and Hagen's superior
, ity was universally acknowledged.
Commenting on Hagen's recover
ing after being beaten by Compston
Is down, The Times admiringiy said:
"Any other man would have been at
least temporarily crushed by that
fearful beating, but to Hagen it
acted only as spur. OF the Eig
men he has incontestably proved
himself the biggest"
"No finer display of sheer deter.
mination to overcome difficulties
was ever Witnessed" Sporting Life
said. Referring to the Hager-
Compston match, the paper declared
that Hagen's performance at Sand
witch was ''the most dramatic come
back in the history of the game"
Sentence after sentence in this
vein was written by golf experts
and editorial writer's on Hagen's

CAN CHANGE BATTERS
II the team at bat discovers
the man at the plate is the inn
proper batsman before he is re-
tired or reaches first base, has
1t the right to substitute the
proper batsman?
In such a situation the team at
bat has perfect right to substitute
the proper batsman and thereby
escape the penalty that would be
inflicted if he continued his time at
bat and the mistake was properly
discovered by the team in the field
When the team at bat discovers
the man up is the improper batter,
it should Immediately substitute the
proper man. The proper ba.smar
shall assume the count that was on
the improper batsman when the mis-
take was discovered. If the count
is two balls and two strikes the
proper batsman must accept that
handicap when he is substituted.
In some quarters there prevails
the impression that once a ball is
pitched to an improper batsman he
lays himself open to penalty, which
is the calling out of the proper bats
man.
This is erroneous. Not until the
improper batsman reaches first safe
" or is retired is it possible for the
team in the field to get action on
the slip in the batting order.
It is obvious that the team at
bat should not be made to suffer
if it corrects mistake before the
improper batsman has done any
thing that affected the play. The
penalty Of making him take the
count on the improper batsman is
severe enough.
