MEDALS STOLEN
NOTED SOCCER PLAYER’S LOSS. While he and wife were visiting relatives, burglars broke into the house of George Mills, Chelsea centre-for-ward, of Westwood Park, Forest Hill, London, and stole all his medals. Among the medals are a gold one for playing in the England-Ireland match a short while ago, two English League medals, which were presented this season, and a bronze medal for the England-Ireland match in 1933. “If the burglars are sportsmen they will return my medals,” stated Mills to an interviewer. “They are of great sentimental value to me. “They also took a lot of clothes and my wife’s fur coat. I don’t mind them keeping those so much, but I would like my medals back. It has taken me five years to get them.”
