WINS ON A FOUL
Fhl MCGraW of Detroit Is Given Bout Over Sid Ferris Because of Low Blow in Second,

New York. Oct { tPt--Just who is the logical contender for the light weight crown guarded by Sammy Mandell continues to remain in doubt. In 8 return engagement here last night, Phil McGraw, of Detroit, turned the tables on Sid Ferris, his former conQueror, by winning on a foul in the second round.
 Ferris, however, had punished the Detroit battler unmercifully up to the time he was disqualified on q foul. McGraw just lasted out the first round and was ree)ing groggily in the succeeding stanza when Ter ris delivered low blow which sent McGraw writhing with pain to the canvas.

SEEKING
 CH|LD'S ATTACKER
Blood-Soaked Car 7aken-Yic-
 tim's Identity Unknown

Pomona, N. J., June 2S tR-Po- lice today sought the owner of 6 small automobile found hidden deep in the brush five miles from the scene of the reported attack on a boy or girl in the woods near here Tuesday.
 The car. blood-stained and bear ing evidence of a terrific struggle. was the first definite clue found by the posse of state troopers. detec- tives and farmers to substautiate the story of 13 year old Joseph Dellancoe and his brother Tony. ;. that while playing in the woods they had seen two men standing over the body of child. They said they saw the men stab the child three times. They were uncertain as to whether the victim was a boy or a girl.
 The abandoned automobile bore an Atlantic city license number. The windshield was splashed with blood. the seats were torn and door Things ripped off. A Philadelphia newspaper stained with blood. lay on the floor of the car.
 Police believe the car was stolen. but said they would question the owner. whose name they withheld. in an effort to solve the mystery The imprint of a body was found in the soft earth at the spot where the Dellancoe boys said they had witnessed the attack and a blood stained handkerchief was picked up nearby.
 The posse today continued its search for the body which the au- thorities believe may have been hidden in the thick underbrush in the vicinity of the alleged attack.
 A careful check has failed to re- veal any boy or girl missing in South Jersey. This had led to the belief that the victim was kid mapped in Philadelphia. New York or some other city and brought to the spot.

Clever Detectives Turn
Y Prisoners Into e;
Court Discharges Them

There were twenty-five stick-ups
in New York City on Tuesday, in
none Of which arrests were made.
Nevertheless, Detectives Schlieber
and PaladinO showed up in Tombs
Court on Wednesday with twenty
three prisoners, although, as far as
their alert and persipicacious minds
could remember, they had arrested
only twenty-five, on charges Of us
ing boisterous language
The presence of an extra prisoner
was only discovered when the crowd
was arraigned before Magistrate
CorrigaR. The magistrate imme-
diately began an investigation, and
found that David Better, PIT
Broome ST., had done nothing more
criminal the day before than order
cake and coffee in a Thirteenth St.
restaurant. Better was advised 10
sue for false arrest.
When the magistrate found that
'At~ PSaANC ehdA SNo "BAiifst A4te re-
naming twenty-five were as ridicu-
lOus as those usually made against
strikers, some of the men argu-
ing over five cents and the others
playing pinochle," they were dis
charged. The scores of stick-up
men who broke the peace on Tues
day, however, are still at large.
After the police have finished their
on the striking paper bo,
makers, it is estimated, they might
consider getting after the gunner.
