But, his job weuld be imperilled should he play here. Baseball starts on ifs final next Sunday afternoon when the Falcon-Kensginton. “ series opens ‘This will probably be the last of the games played this son because it appears now as if the Burritt-Falcon eeries will not be played unless the final games are played while the snow flies. run “Tubby"” Beloin and Johnny Gripp are among the outstanding stars on the Fordham football eleven this year. Beloin is one real star, accord- ing to the grid coa ‘the univers- ity and atthough he has had some stiff competition for his guard po- sition this season, he is not likely to be left out of the varsity lineup. Gripp u punting better and better this scasuu and he should prove to be one of the consistent backfield men on the team. Johnny has the nerve and he has the stamina. He s poepular and well liked and there isn’t any doubt but that, barring in- jurfes, he faces a big season this fall. CONFESSES T0 THEFT -~ OF FUNDS FROM BANK Edward R.

Four prominent Los Angeles sci- entists who have been working sep- arately in their investigations of the murder farm story, have met and compared notes. After the meeting an announcement was made that bits of bone and blood soaked earth found on the Northcott .chicken farm were undoubtedly frem the bodies of two beys. Story Verified The statement helped substanti- ate the story of Banford Clark, who had charged that Northcott had murdered at least four boys. The acientists who helped in the investigation were Rex Welch, city chemist; J. Clark Sellers, criminolo- gist; Professor W. Lytle, paleontolo- at the Los Angeles museum, and William A. Bryan, museum di- rector. They said they were positive the bones were from the bodies of two - boys. Meanwhile a new and startling development came with the confes- sion of a youth returned to Los An- geles from De Kalb. I, that he was not Walter Collins, kidnapped son“of a San Quentin convict, as he had pretended to be. “I do not know who I am,” the lad said. “but I know I am not Walter Collins.” The mother of the real Waiter had refused to accept the boy but Others had expressed the belief that his claims to the boy’s identity were genuine. Going to Vancouver The story of the Clark youth had intimated that Walter was one of the alleged victims of Northcott and the confession lent credence to thia theory. Northcott and his mother, who was arrested at Calgary, Alta., prob- ably will be taken to Vancouver, B. C.. to await extradition to Califor- nia. Both admitted their identities when questioned by provincial po. lice. Northcott denied any connec- tion with the Riverside crimes.
