TRAIL IS HOT
IN LINDBERCH
KIDNAP CASE
Mystery Is Two Years Old
But Sensational Clews
Are In Hand
By II. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Mar. 2. (UP)-
Two years ago last night, some
time between 80 and 10 o'clock
the infant son of Col. and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh wa S
"snatehed" from his nursery crib
at HOpekell. n. j., and there IS
ample evidence that the trial OF
his murderers is as hot now as it
was two days after the abduc-
ton.
Pursuit of the Lindbergh kid
napers, who murdered their tiny
captive as they fled from Sour
land mountain, is now concentrat-
ed in the hands of the federal
department of justice. Rumors,
many of them with reasonable
foundation, persist that the most
important clues have never oeen
made public. :,
The last act remains to be
written in the greatest, most
tarpic crime drama of the CEN
tury. When that last act is
written, when the kidnapers are
brought to heel, the. story will
stand as a classic in the annals
of crime daring and criminal cum
ming. L4
of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.,
have eluded the most unflagglng
manhunt in the nations history.
Rut the federal men who now
have charge persist in the decia-
ration that a solution is newt
able. that a break might come at
any time.
New clues, of a sensational
character, are in the hands Oh
authorities, according to Larry
Rue who has spent weeks on a
private investigation ana WnoSg
conclusions have been puollsheu
in the New York Daily News.

STANFORD BACKERS
WORRY ABOUT STAR
Indian Attack Against Alabama
Will Lose Steam if Grayson
Is Not in Fettle.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, December
22.-Stanford partisans are fearful
that Bobby Grayson, the All-America
back, will not be in the best form
when the Cardinals meet Alabama
New Year day in the Tournament of
Roses game.
Grayson is one of the fastest backs
in the game as well as q tremendous
driver and with him under par the
Indian attack. Is certain to lack much
of its customary steam.
Grayson was injured In peculiar
manner in the game against Cali
fornia. He went down in such q way
that the pointed end of the ball was
driven against his ribs, ;ausing q
fracture. The break has healed neatly,
but it is uncertain If he will be In the
best of condition by time for the test
with Alabama.
Should Grayson be unable to play,
Stanford will be in . bad way for q
fullback, since Anderson, the first
substitute. is recovering from pneu-
monia, and Todd, the third stringer.

DENVER, December 22.-Eastern
- and Midwestern basket ball
players coming to Denver for

need not fear the altitude of this
mile-high city.
That's on the authority of william
N. Greim, secretary treasurer Of the
Rocky Mountain A. A. o., who OBJ
served today:
IF an athlete is in good condition
I don't think the rarefied air out here
hurts him any. In fact, many players
have told me they got q sort Of lift
when they came here"
Greim pointed out the atmosphere
appeared to have little If any effect
on athletes in the National A. A. U.
track and field meet here in 1919.
The basket ball tournament will be
held In March, with the Tulsa Oilers
as defending champions.
