Gibbs, the University of Pennsylvania
honor student, who vanished without a
trace more than three years ago.
The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry c.
Gibbs of 1921 Newton street, have tried
every conceivable means of obtaining
q clue to the whereabouts of their son,
who was 10 years old when he disap-
peared from the university campus on
the night of January 6, 1888.
The police were enlisted along with
the Department of Justice and the
United States consular service abroad.
Gibbs had more than $4,000 circulars
printed and distributed in likely COM
munities. A hundred clues were run
down.
Won't Be Discouraged.
Yesterday the parents, who refuse to
be discouraged, made still another
effort to locate young Gibbs by appeal
ing to the Internal Revenue Bureau to
search their files for his name. The
bureau promised to do everything pos
sible to help.
Since young Gibbs was student of
financial affairs, and particularly in
dustrious, his mother believes he may
have worked his way into the income
tax class. He would be % years old
now. and likely making his own way.
The search has developed almost no
definite clues in three years. Several
months after Gibbs disappeared. a
young woman resident of Mexican
city across the Rio Grande from Ell
Paso, Tex. reported to Department Of
Justice agents that youth who said
he was James Huntington" applied
for temporary work. Gibbs has q
younger brother named James.
The youth explained he had run
away from college" and was catching

Tinker and Evers
Rose on Mutual Hate

Most other long term msunderstand-
Ings are ended as quickly when old
time foes are united in mutual cause.
Yet once there was feud which must
confuse the theorists who babbIe that
all the best in sports life is destroyed
by battling.
That was when Joe Tinker was at
ShOrtstOp and Johnny Evers was at
second base for the Cubs. After claw
ing at one another as they rolled over
the clubhouse floor one day, they de-
cided that frequent fist fights could
never settle the issue between them.
They agreed to quit speaking to one
another.
BY all the copybook maxims this
silent hatred should have shattered
them as we'll as the team. Instead,
Tinker outplayed himself each day so
that he might excel Evers. Johnny
strove to reach new heights so that he
might tower above his unloVed neigh
Dor. 1t was then that the most famous
doubIe-pIay combination in history,
Tinker to Evers to Chance, was born
while the Cubs were battling their way
to various pennants.
Naturally I do not advocate drastic
measures yet it is all too true that
there have been far too frequent mo-
ments when the silence of the ball
parks has been broken only by the
signs of fans who felt that they had
spent their money in vain. AS one
of those who have often sighed for the
good old days, l extend very best con-
CALCULATIONS to Mungo and Bartell.
While doing so, | also heave some
posies in the direction of a guy who
occasionally may have been saluted
with bricks in this space. Possibly
Ford Frick could have gained undyinq
fame if he had handed each of the
ooys bonus for putting one of the
best of all feuds back in circulation,
but am not complaining.
With due memory of the dire punish
ment B'n Dickey received for wallop-
ing Carr Reynolds on the snout in the
other circuit, it is pleasant to note that
the National league president behaved
with admirable good sense in letting
the boys off with twenty-five bob
plaSters. s

Jerome D. Travers, rated as one of
the steadiest golfers of all time and
as man who rose to the heights IN
der fire, played the Sandwich course
in "A on his last round before the start
of the British amateur championship.
The next day, when the title play had
started, he had a 90. There was no
alibi. The same thing had happened
to him that could happen to any duffer.
For the first-and perhaps the only
time in his life the great champion had
permitted his nerves to work them
selves up to such state that he had
been awake all night shivering over
the prospect of making poor showing.
American league players are COM
planning that their circuit is all out of
balance. They claim that the league
should have loaned money to the ST.
Louis Browns so that they could have
taken advantage of some of the Phila-
delphia offerings Among 9TH
er things Buddy Hassett is a cross

Young Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt is
so boxing conscious that he has named

:. Dogs run truer to form in
races than do horses and neither the
condition of the track nor the weather
has much effect on them.
Brief description of the forIorn Ath-
Ietics: "They look like money in the
bank" Horsemen are complain
ing about the amount of attention CIV
en- to the "EIectric Eye" at Jamaica.
While this device is being installed the
track is so cluttered up that they have
to break their gee-gees from the first
turn and then gaIop them around the
back stretch. Such antics, they say,
greatly interfere with serious training.
Although his home towners arranged
Berkeley Bell Day" when he visited
Austin with the pro tennis troupe the
Texas net star has a secret sorrow.
He envies that sort of fame which
caused a sandwich to be named after

4 FTER too many seasons overbur-
n dened with brotherIy love, | have
been noting recent doings of the
Dodgers and Giants with considerable
gIee. In baseball, as in most other
businesses, there ever are too many
people eager to pat you on the back
with a knife. 1t is much more pleas
ant to see the boys carrying on in
the open and-as the maenates should
know but always seem to forget-it
brings far better results at the gate.
Undoubtedly such knowledge added
greatly to Ty Cobb's stature as ball
player. So far as I know he never
spiked an opponent Intentionally and,
off the field, he was a genial citizen.
Yet when he came into a base with
high-fung spikes glittering you felt
that he regarded the fielder as a nat
ural enemy. In press box or in bleach
ers that feeling always caused pulses
to strum faster.
1t is just as true that John Joseph
McGraw would never have been the

tant kinfolk of his enmity. Once, for
instance, his ancient Chicago foes were
in town for a series. That was in the
glowing baseball year of 1908 and feel
ings were running high anyhow. When
the Chicago baseball writer's arrived
at the Polo Grounds press gate they
saw a notice pasted there. 1t stated
simply and starkly that, by order of
J. J. McGraw, they were not to be
permitted to enter the park that after
noon.
Perhaps this did not serve any useful
purpose in deciding events upon the
field, but ! am not so sure about it.
At least it convinced both fans and
players that there was nothing half
way about the famous managers likes
and disIikes. ....
Burleigs Grimes is another who
might be placed high up on the list of
haters of opposing uniforms. Once
frankie Frisch bumped into him when
the pitcher was covering first base.
1t was an incident similar to the Van
Mungo-Dick Bartell cause celebre of
recent date. No blows were struck but
harsh words were passed and the
feud was on.
For years after that, whenever
Frisch faced Grimes, it was 100 to I
that the first ball would be thrown
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
Frankie's head. BY the same token il
was necessary for 6urIeigh to take a
few extra precautions when arriving
In the vicinity of second base.

the game was to overflow with sweet
