Pirates Option Gibbon
To Kinston Farm Club
PITTSBURGH (AP)—The Pitts-'
burgh Pirates sent pitcher Joe ;
Gibbon to Kinston. N.C., in the
Class B Carolina Leaghe yester
day on 24-hour recall.
General Manager Joe L. Brown
said Gibbon probably will be re
called within two weeks.'
The 27-year-old lefthander from
i Hickory, Miss., starred for the
! Pirates last year, but has been
sidelined this season, with a
'Strained muscle, in his left elbow.
Brown said Gibbon was sent to
Kinston because “Kinston has the
warmest climate of any city in 1
| the Pirates’ farm system.”
