Terry Burke is the only sports writer - to give them a chance. He bets $10 at Tony Murallo's restaurant in the Broadway district. In the Blues' first game Whitper, the Philadelphia pitcher, is killed with a bullet through the heart after smashing out a home run. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter, Frances, had shown her preference over Whit- per, are suspected at first by Detec- tive Kelly. It is Burke who discov- esr it was Sid Stream, notorious gun- 'man, who wrecked a taxi with a bul. Jet through a tire and injured four Boston players as the Blues are to open a series. Then Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead, after hitting a hom- er, from poison on a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his bat. Pietro,' Chicago's bat boy, disap- pears. Clark sends 'Doyle to Newark but he is soon sold to Boston. When the Blues go to St. Louis, Scotter, the Rubes' star pitcher, is found dead from a gas given off by a mys- terious powder in the box with a jigsaw puzzle sent to him. Each time Burke has a beat on these sensa- tional happenings and masked gun- men truss him up, question him and warn him he knows too much, Rawl. ins, the manager, is sick when the Blues go to Chicago, and New York wins the first game.

PECK, Manager i Se went on, "The Butchers are the best all-round players, I don't think there is any argument on that score, but without Rawlins, who rates about top as a pilot, they can't hope to win very often when they buck a man like Pop Clark. Pop won the game to-day; that's why, when he gets a team behind him, he can't be beat- en." ' "They've had everything to help them this year, including sudden death," Craven said. "But they have been playing ball, too," Terry insisted. "I don't say they would be where they are now if it had not been for these acci- dents, but you must admit they have played much better ball than they did this time last season." "It looks as though we were going ito get throuhg this series without a murder," Reynolds remarked as a cab pulled up for them to get in. ~ "Not disappointed, are you?" Hover asked as he sank into the rear seat and spread himself out comfort- ably. : "If they don't stop this nonsensical _ killing soon, there won't be any men left to play ball." "Well, the Butchers have had their murder," Terry said. "1 guess they are safe for a while." "Not while they are place," Craven said. "But there is no one man on the team now who stands out more than the others," Reynolds said, more as if he were asking a question. "Ask Terry about that," Hover chuckled. "He won a five today on the best man." : in second "You mean Rawlns?" Reynolds asked. "Sure. He's the best man they have. Without him, they could sink out of sight in no time. You ought to know that yourself; you are sup- posed to.know-baseball." } "I haven't been at it as long as you have," Reynolds retorted. After an early dinner Craven said he was too tired to go out; he still felt the effects of his ordeal in St. Louis. There was a moving picture theatre across the street running a picture Terry had wanted to see, and it was after ten when he went up to his room. The door as open into Craven's room and Terry heard him moving about. He went to the door. "Hover just tclephoned," Craven said. "He's coming up with Doc Biers. He's as drunk as a lord, evi- dently. I tried to discourage him, but he said he had something to tell us." - "Pll have them in my room," Ter- ry suggested, "and if you get tired you can go to bed." There was a rap on Craven's door. "I'll open mine. Come on in!" Terry moved over and opened his "door and called to Hover, who was leaning against the wall. "My father is drunk," Doc Biers grinned as he helped Hover along the hall. "Old fool!" Hover my asthma." They sat down and. Hover leered up at Terry for a moment and then asked, "Haven't you got a drink?" Biers shook his head at Terry, but Hover saw it and said testily, "Mind your own busines." "What's on your mind, Bill?" Cra- ven asked. "You said you had some- thing to tell me." ' "It's worth a drink. It's worth two or three drinks. You're late on a story and I won't tell you unless you get me a drink." Terry looked a question of Biers, who shook his head. "I beat you for once, Terry, my lad. Think you can get all the beats, don't you?" "Come on, Bill, was annoyed, "Nope. It's worth a drink and I don't tell you unless I get my drink." Between, drinks and wheezes and puffs they pieced together an amaz- ing story. Hover fired the first bomb- WANTED LOCAL muttered. "It's. Spill it."

The mere idea of extracting bromine from the sea and selling it to. gasoline refiners who would in turn pass it along to automobile drivers as a component of ethyl gasoline thrilled us. Now come the figures of production for the last 12 months. Some 158,735,000 pounds of ocean water were pumped through the Kure Beach plant. And in all these pounds thére was contained potential wealth appraised at $96,379,460. Here is the itemized statement of values: Sodium chloride or kitchen salt,. 2,140,000 tons, worth $33,200.000. Epsom salts, 542,500 tons, $18,050,000. Calcium chloride, 61,000 tons, worth $4,880,000, which, if made into fertil- izer, would enrich about 1,000,000 acres of soil, Magnesium, 48,000 tons, worth $33,600,000, enough for 1,500 million worth photographers' flash bulbs, 100,000 airplanes or 25Q,000 stratosphere gondolgs. Aluminum, 139 tons, worth $58,200, enough to make the pistons of 68,000 automobiles, ; Strontium carbonate, 160 tons, worth $99,600, enough to make a mil- lion irrdescent drinking glasses, Iron, 145 tons, worth $17,300. Boers Are Shocked By Female Garb Dutch Reformed hye In South Africa Flays Morals * BLOEMFONTEIN -- The costumes worn by women at the seaside, sports meetings and drill displays in South Africa were condemned at the Synod held here of the Dutch Reformed Church, ' The Synod declared that the char- acter of the South African nation was being contaminated by these "imported morals." Man was sink- ing to the depth of animals, the:re- port said. An appeal was made to all authorities, societies, teachers and parents to help in putting a stop to such a state of affairs. LER Complaint was also made that the hotel lounge where parents could take their children was "a danger to body and soul," and that the laws against gambling and drunkenness were practically a dead letter. Copper, 9.2 tons, worth $2,760. Three tons of iodine, valued at $10,- 300. Enough gold to make a five-inch cube valued at $42,000. . Silver worth $29,300--enough to make a ball twenty-five inches in diameter, All these values enumerated were thrown back. Only. the bromine was extracted, operation three years.

Very recently a young girl who was alighting from a street car on King street was struck by a motorist who failed to stop.. Fortunately she was not knocked~to the ground but was whirled around and badly shaken and bruised. The offending motorist stopped but had not the courtesy to alight and see if the girl was hurt. Nothing more was-done about it. The driver got away with it and will prob- ably try to pass other standing street cars -- until something serious does occurs. A few days later an .automo- bile. took the wrong side of a station. ary street car and by a few inches it missed striking a girl who was cros- ging in front of the car. The driver looked panicky for a moment, but he continued blithely on his way., He _got away with it and will doubtless try the same trick again. A taxi-driver repeated the manoeuvre a few days later -- and got away with it. These are not by any means isolat. . ed instahces. Drivers cut into through =gtreets with no regard to stop signs. They pass standing streef cars as, it every second was worth a thousand dollars. They ignore the speed limit and dash along the main streets in absolute "disregard of human safety. It is impossible to have a policeman in every block but comon sense and 'a realization of personal yesponsibil ity should restrain every autoist from taking chances-that endanger human life. Reckless drivers may get' away with it for a while but sooner or later they will find themselves enmeshed in a tragedy that will add to the long list of horrors growing daily longer and give them a load of reffiorse: to carry until their dying day.
