Terry Burke is the only sports writer to give them a chance. He bets $10 at Tony Murallo's retsaurant 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' rookis shortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had _shown her preference over Whitper, are suspected at- first by Detective pe Kelly. It is Burke who discovers it was Sid Stream, notorious gunman, who wrecked a taxi with a bullet through a tire and injured four Bos- ton players as the Blues are to open a ser'es. Then Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead on the diamond from poi- ton on a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his bat. Pietro, Chi- a rago's bat boy, disappears. Clark sends Doyle to Newark but he is soon tqld to Boston: When the Blues go to St. Louis, Scotter, the star pitcher, is found dead from a gas given off by a mysterious powder in the box with a jigsaw puzzle sent tz him anonymously.

Again there is no clue to the murderer. \ Kelly was to keep Terry covered at all times. Terry was not to go to any unusual places without first in- forming Kelly, or if he was in an- other city he was.to get in touch with the chief of police there. Their plans were: pot iron-clad and they all centered on Terry's ability to bring the gang out into the open. If Terry succeeded or if through him the gang were caught, then Terry was to receive twenty-five thousand dollars. If Terry was killed or dis- appeared, the same amount was to be paid to Alice. When Terry left the meeting, he went directly to Alice, who was wait- ing for him. "What happened?" she asked. "I was worried about you. You were such a long time." " "Nothing happened. They just talked and talked, I was only in on the end of it, but lad to promise not to say anything. There will be a statement for the papers to-morrow. I was arranging for somes life insur- ance. [I made you the beneficiary in case anything should happen to me." "Don't talk like that, Terry. It makes me nervous." ' "Nothing is going to happen to me. I thought I'd do it now while 1 had the chance. I'd do it anyway as soon as we are morried. to | thought I might as well get the job done." "V/hen do you go away again?" "They will resume their schedules Mcnlay, so I'll have to leave here Cundey n'ght. How about dinner and a show? We've only got tonight and to-morrow, but I'll be back for the end of the week. We are finish- ing our western swing this week." They had a grand time that even- ing. Terry looked about him often, trying to spot the men who were covering him, but he could not be sure. In the restaurant there was a man sitting two tables away who looked like a plainclothes man, At the theatre the same man stood at the rear of the orchestra and Terry felt easier i:. hs mind. Terry had a short talk with Larry the next morning. "The whole thing doesn't it?" Larry asked. going to do anything?" "Slated For a Swop" "They decided to go on playing ball and to ask for help from the po- lice in each city. There really isn't anything they can do. What they need is some luck. Yow are things go'ng with you?" "Fine. I don't believe I'll be with Boston much longer. I have a feecl- ing in my bones that I'm slated for a swop. Renz has nearly recovered and will be playing full time next week. There isn't much of a place for me. I've heard rumors; there is supposed to be a deal on with Wash- ington and I'm to be sold at a fairly good price." "You'll go big down there," Terry prophesied. "I've got to make good and convince my family and Pop looks bad, "Are they . Clark that I am a worthy young man, so to speak." "What do you think of the pigeons down there at the Feds' park?' "They bothered the life out of me the first time they began . flying around. That one pigeon, though, is a wonder. The Feds certainly are superstitious about that bird." When Terry checked in at the hotel in Cleveland next morning, all the reporters closed in on him with eager questions about the meeting. "Nothing happened," Tery- said. "Just the usual bunk, Trying to nail me to the cross as usual. They'll do anything to solve this business. Some day they will believe me," 'Are, they excited about it out here?" Terry asked. : "Excited" Hover exploded. "There is a special detail of cops watching the Reds, and Planer has a body- guard all his own. The boys seem to be in pretty good shape, but their women-folk are a bit hysterical, There are a lot of boys who have been asked not to play to-day." "I think it's all a publicity stunt," Reynolds eut in. "Yeah?" Craven snapped. 'Won- dor what Whitper, Dirkin, Scotter and Rawlins think of the publicity, if they can think?" One of the greatest crowds in the annals of Cleveland baseball was out at the park that afternoon. There were plenty of police and they were needed more to keep the crowds in order than for anything else. The publicity in the papers and the talk about Planer had done miore for the gate receipts than anything in base- ball history. "Look at em, the ghouls!' Craven: said as he looked out over the stands and bleachers. Just behind the pres box a man wag sitting. He looked familiar and Terry paused and lookei at him a second time. That was the man who had the room next to him at the ho-. tel. Terry had seen him going up in the elevator in the morning as he was checking in. He remembered the clerk had said, "Yes, Mr, Burke, I've been holding a room for you." Terry hadn't thought of it at the time, but had supposed that Craven had reserv- ed a room for him. That was not the case, however, It was his unknown body-guard. * "The crowd is gong to be awful disappointed if we don't have a mur- der to-day," Biers said. i "I'l bet Big Boy Planer has the jitters right now," Mullins changed the subject. "There he is coming out," Doc Biers pointed just ag, a cheer rang through the stands. A Stellar Player With the exception of the famous "Babe," there has never been a fig- ure as popular as Planer in all the history of baseball. He could hit and field and never made a wrong move on the diamond. His baseball sense was intuitive. . ~ Big Boy Planer had arwuys been a romantic-figure. He ran away from home when he was ten and traveled round the country for a year .or so with one of the smaller circuses. He Iwas in. the South and discovered a baseball training camp. He became a hanger-on with the Orioles, He was bat boy and general utility man. He ate, drank and slept baseball. He was a prime favorite with all the men, and old Keenan taught him all he knew about hitting. When Planer was eighteen he went out in the sticks playing sand- lot baseball. Then he went into the minors and after a couple of years he went back to the Baltimore team. The kids had always been crazy about him. He was full of the tricks that endear a man to the hearts of children. For one thing, he never grew up himself. He was still a big boy, always had been and always would be. He spent thousanas of dollars every year doing things for boys in orphanages. He probably au- tographed more baseballs in a few years than any player living or dead. He was known and loved from coast to coast and from north to south. Planer was full of pep today. There was no trace of nervousness as he began to warm up for the game. The eyes of the entire sports world were on him, but those people there might happen to him during the course of the game. : (To be Continued.) Women's Dress Tell Their Nature Screen Dress Designer Advises Mere Man to Study Feminine ~~ Raiment : HOLLYWOOD. -- Judge a woman, not by the company she keeps, but by the clothes she wears, Milo Anderson, screen dress designer, counseled this week. "If you want to know what kind of wife your girl will be, look over her clothes," Anderson advised. Woman's actions and speech are a poor basis for an -estimate- of her worth, Anderson said, explaining: "Remember, she's trying to impress you and is on her guard, but what she wears is a dead give-away of her char- acter and habits and is an accurate forecast of what your life will be with her after the honeymoon is over," Hero are some of Anderson's ob- servations: Women who are addicted to long, dangling ear rings talk a great deal. Girls who always wear high heels are inclined to be coquettes. Girls who like to wear big picture hats are always seeking a background for their beauty--they want you to be part of that background. Women who choose 'dizzy" hats lack 'discretion and are easily delud- ed, And so on. What to do? "The best wife timber," Anderson sald, "is the young lady who makes her own clothes, yet looks as if she'd emerged from a swanky shop." Grasshoppers Threaten, Weed and Thistle Crop REGINA--Southern Saskatchewan farmers turned to the weeds and Russian thistles that began growing in the drought area after recent rains for feed for live stock, but find that grasshoppers and other insects are beating them, reports said. "In addition, grasshoppers are riddling clothing articles whenever hung out- side to dry during washday. : "You can't teach acting." - . __ ==Ethel Barrymore. in the stands were wondering what" Glamorous Girl Has Trained Mind Real Beauty Goes Below Surface Charm; Conservation Important True glamor--the enviable variety which lasts through the years, like real beauty, goes deeper than a sur- face of expertly applied cosmetics, lovely hair, even good posture. Much more important than exquisitely simple, flattering clothes, correct makeup and a chig coiffure are a per- sonality, great tolerance and the ability to be interested as well as in- teresting. One who has decided to be a glamor girl, ought to give attempts to improve herself (her inner self) place number one--right out in front ahead of everything else. To be a thoroughly charming person, as well as a neat, well groomed, physically attractive one is an admirable aim and "sure to pay huge dividends. Do Without the "I" Try eliminating the personal pro- noun from your conversation as much as possible. Get into the habit of listening (really listen'ng) while others speak. And don't argue for hours or be too dogmatic in your opinions. You don't have to be a namby-pamby yes - woman -- but neither should you be just plain prejudiced or stubborn. You read the daily newspapers, don't ydu? And current magazines as well as historical novels, biogra- phies and other good books which make you thjnk and eprich your store 'of knowledge. Little use in looking giamorous if your mind is stagnant and you have nothing interesting to talk about. yo If you want men to like you (and what girl does not?), better give up malicious gossiping, being catty about other women ang discussing diets and clothes for hours on end. Say what you will, men like a little sweetness in a woman. And no matter how glamorously lovely you look, they will be disappointed if and when they dis- cover that you-are totally lacking in Want To Be First Woman River Pilot Gabrielle Lemay and Laura Arche er Both Want to be Canada's Leading Female Navigator QUEBEC.--Two girls with but a single thought are Gabrielle - Lemay, 20, of the tiny south shore village of St. Jean Deschaillons, and Laura Ar- cher, 19, of Bracebridge, Ont.--they both want to be Canada's first woman river pilot. ' Miss Lemay first mate on her father's oil-carrying, motor-driven ves- sel Adelphie, will attend a marine school at the close of navigation next fall, preparatory - to applying for a master's certificate. Veteran river men down this way say she has shown rare navigating ability at the wheel of the Adelphie. on its journeys between Quebec and Montreal. Capt. Alphonse Halle, di- rector of the marine school here, ex- pressed the opinion she will complete her course and be in position for a master's papers before next Christ. mas.

Indians May | Sell South Dakota Hills RAPID CITY, S.D. -- Four age- wrinkled Indian Chiefs, all of whom saw the "Custer massacre" of 1876 complained last week of ill-treatment at the hands of the United States government and talked of offering South Dakota's scenic Black Hills to Canada.

Quick-cooking Taploca Cream is the basis of seven different ani tasty desserts, all of them practical, delicious and very economical too. This cream requires only five min- utes to cook after the liquid scalds which is a defin'te improvement on 'the old kind of tapioca which took at least fifteen minutes to cook. It saves time and saves dishes and gives you a tapioca -pudding with a new delicacy of texture. Quick-cooking tapioca cream con- tains so many food essentials that it suggests planning the meal back- wards--merely supplementing the dessert with a few simple dishes and a beverage. It contains eggs and milk, fresh fruit and energy-giving tapioca, all_of which go. a long way towards meeting the family's daily food needs. Then all these good things are offered in a fluffy, creamy dessert, they banish all thought of duty and are eagerly eaten up. Here is the recipe for the Tapioca Cream. d - Quick Cooking Tapioca Cream One third cup quick-cooking tap- ioca ~ Half cup sugar Quarter teaspoon salt 1 or 2 egg yolks 4 cups milk 1 or 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten 1 teaspoon flavouring Combine quick-cooking tapioca, sugar, salt, egg yolk, and milk in top of double boiler and stir enough to break egg yolk. Place over rapidly boiling water, bring to scalding point (allow 5 to 7 minutes), and cook b minutes, stirring frequently. and Cheyenne bands wiped out Gen- eral Custer and his troops in the bat- tle at Little Big Horn. Oscarione Bull, one of the Indian's nephews, voiced the complaint of the quartet: "The white man," he sa'd, "has never carried out his treaties with us. Many old Indians starved to death last winter for lack of rations. If the President doesn't do something for us, we are going to Canada to talk to them." Parliament Has Quota Lunatics and Donkeys OXFORD -- If Parliament were fully representative of the commun- ity, it would have as members one or two criminals, a few lunatics, some hefty children and in true democracy, an elderly donkey, said Miss Margery Fry, speaking at the summer school of the Howard League for Penal Reform. The next speaker, George Benson, Labor mem- ber of Parliament for Chesterfield, retorted: "I can assure Miss Fry that Parliament is fully representative, and our democratic system is far more perfect than she seems to realize, ' Cri had di pb Lk aa Remove from boiling water, Fold a small amount into egg white; add to remaining tapioca mixture and blend.

[lustrated here are four desserts that can be made and even more var- iations can be turned odt by the im- aginative housewife. Once you have the basis, there are all kinds of fruits and sauces which can be added to the cream or poured over to make a novel dessert. Upper left shows a plain tapioca cream dessert with a maraschino cherry to add a bright bit of colour. Lower left shows what can be done by the addition of fresh fruit. Add erushed berries to the cream and leave a few whole ones with which to garnish the top. In the upper right corner is a dessert which will appeal particularly to the juvenile members of the family. It is Tapioca Cream with chocolate sauce poured over and garnished with fluffs of whipped cream. In the lower right is Tapioca Cream garnished with fresh or canned peach halves and topped with whipped cream. This is an all year round dessert because you can use either canned' or fresh fruits and vary the according to the scason. garnish Device Records The Heart-Beats Promises To Be Valuable To Phy- sicians In Treatment of Heart Ailments LONDON, -- Research workers of & laboratory in King's College Hospital Medical School have perfected an am : azing apparatus, which, it is declared, ; not only enables human heart-beats to : be heard, but records them for repro- duction as often as may be necessary, This machine, which has been cal led the "phonostethograph," promises to be of great value to physicians in the treatment of heart discases of various types. The problem of rctoiding heart sounds for the purpose of records and study has been one which has occu- pied the attention of physiologists and clinicians for many years, In fact, the first attempts were made as long ago as 1856. None of these earlier at. tempts produced results of a satisfac. tory nature, but the evolution and tha rapid improvement of thermionic valves and electrical amplifying sys- tems enabled attempts to be made by means of the modern microphone to pick up the heart sounds through the chest wall and reproduce them by means of loudspeakers. Some of the microphones used however amplified the frictional noises caused by the rubbing of the microphone against.the graphically the heart sounds, The ex.- fra skin and the contraction of the inter: Fa costal muscles to such an extent that HX y the resultins bose canada = ra pot BAL clem p's I IAN NEW Sh eo ven ee LLOOGESS ABR: The instrument now produced is the IN result of experiments with a new clec- rl trical technique and records phono- Br SC ir periments have proved very success.

This "chest pidee'" is the equivalent of the steth: oscope famitinr to tigze--who are old enough to rgmember it-as the queer little ne] appliance carried by the family dector of former days in his top hat. The modern stethoscope is quite different and the modern doctor listews in through two earpieges as most of us have seen. -- In the case of the phoudsthethos graph, the doctor listens in with the earphones, adjusting -the amplifier controls until Le pets {:c maximum volume of sound which he wishes te observe and then brings the loudspea- ker into operation and obtains an ab- solutely faithful reproduction of the heart sounds without one atom of the usual "scratch" associated with ve- sords Not only he, but any one near can here. NO LIMIT TO SOUND VOLUME In fact, there is no reason why the amjuification should not be increased to such an extent that the beat of the human heart can be clearly heard in the Albert Hall, London, Eng. If the doctor wishes to have a per- manent record of the heart he {is lis. tening to, he sets the recording unit in operation, and in a few minutes he has n record which is unbreakable and permanent. A Lalas SET 5 - The crormous vitues of tals new tnstriment can hardly be .completely appreciated for the present, but by its records of heart sounds it will enable the case of a patient to be far more definitely folowed than by the old me- thod of making notes. Further, stud. ents will be enabled to listen as often as necessary to a sound heart and to a heart which is not normal and thus become familiar' With those sounds that they would otherwise onty he able to hear by frequent experiment with their stethoscopes. Further, when records are made, the lecturer can in- terpolate his own comments and so the records become anextremely valuable iY teaching unit.
