As the sched: ule Is played out the stars of the teams opposing the Blues are singled out for spectacular death on the play- Ing field by shooting or mysterious poisoning, or are put out of commls- slon by serious Injury. Whitper, Phil adelphla pitcher, Is shot through the heart; four Boston players are sent to the hospital by the wrecking of their taxi; Dirkin, Chicago's star bat-. ter, Is poisoned, and Pietro, Chicago bat boy disappears; Scotter, St. Louls pitching ace, Is poisoned; Rawlins, Chicago manager,..Is hanged In the hote) room adjoining his own. When Penny, Detroit's star pitcher, refuses to play against the Blues, baseball's Czar calls a meeting of club owners. Terry Burke .has had beats on most of these sensational murders for the Star and Detective Kelly at first sus- pects both him and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop. Clark sends Larry to Newark but he Is soon sold to Boston and then to Washington. At Clark's suggestion, the owners ask Terry to help them uncover the mur der gang and he agrees. Larry Is In love with Frances Clark, Pop's pretty daughter, and Terry with Alice An: drews. Big Boy Planer, Cleveland's all around star, Is polsoned and in- _capacitated, but lives. Terry outlines his plans to Kelly, who has become his friend, before the crucial serles between the Blues and Washington. Terry fears Larry Is marked for death. "He did," Pop said quietly, "and I won't do it. I won't throw my men down at this stage of the game." He stamped his foot on the wooden floor. "But," Terry objected. "This isn't 8 question of throwing down your men. If these crooks get away with it now, baseball will never be a clean sport again." "Me be a fixer! Me, the man who fought for clean sport all his life!" Means Life and Happiness "Dad," Frances wént to him and put her hands on his shoulders and Jgled into the puzzled old eyes, erry is right. The thing he is asking of you is a big thing, a great 8 4 «i050 wed of Upe pet) wih . co? oe tof-> ne nob Jo nie SuBE® cLpod -shining. thing and he is asking you to do it because you have been a clean fighter through the years. You can ease up this' game. You can hold the men back so that the Feds will take the lead. Think of Larry, think of me! He is willing to risk his life out there because he feels something bigger than himself. I'm risking my hap- piness for the rest of my life when Larry goes out on the field today. I'm not doing it because it is fine or big. I'm doing it for selfish reasons. Larry means life and happiness to me. [f I don't stand behind him now, ifNI don't send him back into the game with a smile on my lips, I'll lose him." "Frances!" . "Don't say anything, Larry. I've learned a lot in these last few min- utes. I know now what it means to be a woman." She turned aga:n to her father. "Dad, say you will hold the team back. You want these murderers caught, don't you?" "Of course I do. But, Frances, 1 can't be a fixer. I can't do it!" : "I'll give up Larry, Dad, if you will do it. I'll promise never to see him again, [I'll stay with you always," -- "I couldn't let you make such a promise," Pop said, and his eyes were "I'll do it, but I hope it will never be known that Pop Clark fixed a game." "You still have a chance to win," Frances said hopefully. "If the Blues can take the next three games, the pennant is yours." "All right." He strode out of- the room. Frances watched him go and wiped the tears from her eyes. She turned to face Larry and he swept her into his arms. He kissed her eyes and mouth and whispered, "Pll love you always," and dashed away. "Be careful," she called after him and held back her tears. "Is everything set?" Terry asked Kelly. oh : "Yes. I've the best sharpshooter in the army out there to get that bird. If he misses, there are two other good shots." - "Don't let them do anything to Larry!" Frances tried to smile through her tears, but it was. too much and she broke down and wept. "I've got to keep under cover," Terry said to Kelly. He turned to Frances as Kelly hurried away. "Where is Alice? Does she know I'm all right?" _ "She knows you are safe. . Kelly wouldn't let her come in. He was -|-afraid they -migit-be-suspicious. She's in the box." "Go to her. Tell her I'm all right and will see her as soon as the game is over." Frances wiped her eyes. "I've been a prig, Terry, thinking only of my- self. I don't want to go out there, I don't want to see it if anything should happen--" The tears filled her eyes once more. "You've got to go. He'll be looking for you. The sight of you will give him courage, and he needs it." IN PACKAGES 106 POUCHES 15¢ "I'll go!" She went quickly, Just as he reached the door a great shout went up. The Feds were up and Terry felt sure the shout meant a run for them), Pletro came forward and put his hand on Terry's arm. "Don't you want to see the game?" he asked. The Missing Bird They crouched down at the end of a concrete runway near the dug-out, It was the last half of the seventh, The score was still tied thrée to three. As they watched, a roar went up from the crowd. The loudspeakers were bleating out the news that Doyle was going in for Potts as short-stop. The crowd was tickled to death, In the short time Larry had been at Wash. ington he had won the hearts of the fans by his bang-up baseball, While the announcement was being made Terry saw Pop Clark go out on the pitching mound. He waved the catcher close and the pitcher joined the confab. The game started again and Terry saw that Pop Clark's trip out to the pitching box hadn't been fruitless. The Blues pitcher was tossing them up without a thing on the ball. The Feds were a little slow in getting onto the fact and then they started to connect. They belted the ball all over the lot. But try as they would, they got only a couple of runs for their pains. = In the Blues' half of the eighth it was easy. The boys went down, one, two, three. Again Terry thrilled as he realized that Pop must have passed the word around. Then the Feds came to bat again. With one out and two on, Larry Doyle came to 'bat. A loud cheer went up. He quickly responded by hopping on a fast one and lining a screaming sin- gle dbwn the third base-line. Another run crossed the plate. There was an- other wild cheer. Larry was taking a long lead .off first, ready to steal sec- ond when a shout of surprise echoed through the stands. Hands were pointing into the air and the action of the game paused for a moment, Every one in the park was looking in- to the sky. Terry stood up. A pigeon was circling over the field. It was the missing bird. Pietro stood up and craned hig neck to see.

Joseph Pearce, a judge's messenger was remanded for trial... Officers in Bow Street court testified Pearce sold the wigs to a store, saying they had been given to him. Lord Justices Slesser, Greer and Scott, who were forced to borrow, misfits, got their wigs back, cleaned' and renovated by the store. RUN-DOWN?

Brain Tickling With Electricity Suggested as a New Method of Saving Lives in Operations A new method of saving lives on the operating table by tickling the brain with weak electricity was sug- gested at the closing session of the National Academy of Sclence's fall meeting, -at Rochester N.Y. Dr. W. K. Smith, of the University of Rochester told the academy mem- bers that he had found in experiments with monkeys, cats and dogs very de- tinite areas in the cerebral cortex, or covering of the brain, which stimulat- ed and retarded breathing, but did not stop it. Control of Breathing These areas do not in themselves control 'breathing, he added, but seem to act in harmony with the area deep in the hind brain which does control respiration. Eo Slight manipulation of the areas in the cortex, however, produced either a quickening or a slowing of breath- ingn according to which one was touched. When the nerve fibres run- ing according to which one was respones disappeared, but eould be produced again-by stimulating the cut ends of the nerves with weak electric. ity, Dr. Smith said. 735,500 Barrels Ontario Apples Production Up in Western, Down in Eastern Ontario at 735,500 barrels in the agricultural department's fruit and vegetable crop report this week, In Eastern Ontario apple production was down 23 per cent. from 1936 but in Western On. tario it was up 28 per cent. The 1936 crop estimate was 703,600 barrels. Peach crop was estimated at 523, 000 bushels, 30 per cent. above 1936, and 'the plum crop at 56,900 bushels, up 38 per cent, Pears were down, es- timated yield being 157,400 bushels as against 197,800 in 1936. 'The report says: Present fruit prices are generally below last year, particularly for peas, apples and plums, although peas exported to Britain have brought satisfactory re- turns. Prices for 'basket grapes have been unusually variable and following frost damage, grapes in bulk tumbled from $45 a ton to as low as $20.

Three University of Rochester phy- siclans, Dr. John R. Murlin, Dr, Law- rence E. Young, and Dr. William A. Phillips, announced théy had success- fully treated some human beings and dogs suffering from diabetes with the new solid preparation. Compounded With Resorcinol The compound is composed of in- sulin and hexyl-resorcinol, a common antiseptic and fever-reducing drug. The resorcinol acts as an emulsifier to clean fat from the linings of the stomach and intestines by making it more soluble in water than it is nor- mally, "The University of Rochester ex- perimenters had previously shown that insulin can be absorbed through the stomach and intestines and' then acts in the ordinary way to burn' up the excess sugar in the blood which produces diabetes. Presence of fats, acid conditions, and the enzyme pep- sin prevented this absorption, how- ever. The next step, nearing completion in tests on human beings, was the ad- dition of the resorcinol to neutralize the pepsin, produce an alkaline condi- tion, and emulsify the fat in order to clean up the digestive tract for en- trance of the insulin. Trials on the human diabetes suf- ferers enable the Rochester men to "state with certainty," Dr. Murlin sald, that "insulin can be absorbed in sufficient amount to produce abrupt changes in -blood sugar."

They wait only for Winter's first snows to get the traps for the gray, white-fanged killers whose extermina- tion the Federal Government has or- dered. : With increasing boldness, wolves have raided reindeer and game herds in Alaska the last few years, Their depredations caused a threat of fam- ine among the Arctic natives last Spring. Coyotes, the wolves" cousins, likewise come under the proscription because of inroads they have made on smaller game, » Traps Distributed The Territorial Legislature, alarmed 'by the increasing numbers of wolves, appropriated money at its last session to aid in wolf control. Part of the money went to buy wolf traps which are being sold wholesale to trappers, Harlan H, Grubser, district agent for the division of game control in Alaska, has taken charge of distribut- ing the traps and of instructing trap- pers in new methods of luring the cunning animals to their deaths. Wolves in large numbers were ab- sent from the Northern Territory for some years, probably because they followed caribou herds which migrat- ed eastward, Mr, Grubser says." When the caribou returned to their former ranges in 1931 and 1932,-the wolves Aollowed and found greatly increased _reindeer herds easy prey.' 'Canines Tattooed For Identification Latest Scheme is Found Satisfac- tory at Guelph O. A. C. Experiments in tattooing dogs, an- swering a number of questions which have been asked about this practice are described in the annual report of the Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph. which has just been released, More than fifty dogs and pufples were tattooed during a period of six months, and results to date indicate that the method is most satisfactory for identification purposes. The report days in part: "A dog of any age can be tattooed, but it has been found that it is best done ag soon as the ears of the pup are large enough to have some room for the letters. In most breeds about two months is probably the best age. The larger breeds may be done at six weeks of age or less. Toys may have to be older on account of their small ears, On Inside of Ear "The choice of the situation for-the marking must be left to the breeder, but it would appear from our present knowledge that the marks are best placed on the inside of the ear. If a dog's ears are examined there will be found a spot, a little over one inch long and about half as broad, free from hair and wrinkles, situated about half way down from the tip of the ear and just above the folds that are about the opening of the external ear passage, It is in this situation or near it-that the best results in mark- ing will be obtained. Do not place the mark too near the tip or too near the edge of the ear, as later on the hair will tend to mask the letters and make them somewhat harder to read."
