Terry Burke Is the only sports writer ta give them a chance. He bets $10 at Tony Murallo's restaurant in the Broadway district. In the Blues' first game Whitper, the Philadelphia pitch- er, is killed v^ith a bullet. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie chortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had shown her pref- erence over Whitper, are suspected at first by Detective 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 Boston play- ers as the Blues are to open a series. Then Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead after hitting a homer, from poison on a photograph needle fixed in the han- dle of his bat. Pictro, Chicago's bat boy, disappears. Clark sends Doyle to Newark but he is soon sold to Boston. When the Blues go to St. Louis, Scotter, the Rubes' star pitch- er, is found dead from a gas given off by a mysterious powder In the box with a jigsaw puzzle sent anony- mouEly. Craven, a New York news- paper man who handled the puzzle, is also gassed but lives. Each time Burke hs5 a beat on these sensational happenings and mrsked gunmen truss him up, ':uest;on him and warn him he knows too much. When Inspector Dov/cll suggests that Doyle may have had an accomplice mail the puzzle, Terry asks "What would be the point?" "The bos.s wants to see you," the (It'tectivL- w!ii.spi'rc<l.

Terry a.sked anxiously. "It has you buffaloed, has it?" "I don't mind admitting that it has. I expect to be bumped off or framed almost any minute. I don't feel too healthy right now." "You had n row with Doyle after the first murder, didn't you''" "He beat me up," "Terry replied with candor. "What do you know about him?" "You may not believe it, but we are pals now. Just like kids. We made up after the scrap and pal around now whenever we can get to- Kether. He's a great boy and a fine ball player." "He's doing; pretty well with Bos- ton, I uniler.stand " "He's a born ball player and he would do well wherever he is, I don't Ml your dealor atout lbs new Coleman Slaves that make tholr own Kas, or wi itu - ThoCuleiiian lamp anil SlDvu Co., till..

"Hoston needs bolstering up." "Sure they do, but Renz, the short- stop, will be back in the game with- in a week or two and they may put Doyle on first bast- then, but I doubt it. I'll bet you dough rifrht now that he goes to Washington. They are coming uji and they need a tnan like Doyle in the infield." "You're sure Doyle is okay?" "I'd stake my life on him." "Umni." Dowell opened a folio and ran through some papers, then handed a letter to Terry. "It's from Doyle," Teriy said as he recognized the handwriting. He read : "Dear Scotter: 'How are things in St. Louis? 1 want you to know how much your faith in me meant to nic at a time when 1 needed encouragement. When Pop Clark sent em back to the minors, I felt way down and for a time feared that my career as a play- er was over. Your encouragement went a long way toward giving me what it takes to work against odds. I've been working like a dog and I like the Boston crowd, but as Renz will soon be able to come back into the game, I'm wondermp what will hap|)en to me. I'd rather be with the Rlues than any team I know and it isn't just Frames Clark either. They are a great outfit and the old man is a wonder even though he can't see me at present. I may make it yet. Let me hear fron\ you. "1 am constantly reading about you in the papers. How does it feel to be such a i)oi)ular idol? Are you still as <|uiet and shy as ever? What you need is a girl. Do you still read a lot and do jigsaws? "I'm looking forward to spending some time with you when you come to Hoston. Yours, "Larry." "What do you thing of it?" Do- well asked. "It's a good lettei- from one friend to another." "It may be more than that." "How could it be?" 'There have been slimmer clues bring a man to justice," Dowell re- torteil. "There's no clue in that!" Terry .showed his indignation. "Now, don't get all hot and both- ered," Dowell advised. "It could be a clue. That's one of the reasons T called you in here. I wanted to get a line on Doyle from some one who knew him. He wrote to Scotter. It's dated a week ago. Scotter received it when the team came back. Sup- pose he an.swered it at once. It would have given Doyle a chance to send the puzzle to an accomplice out here." "That's rot, and you know it," Terry blurted at once. "The puzzle wa.s probably bought right here in St. lyouis." "We've checked all the stores of any size that handle puzzles. Only two stores cary that particular make and they didn't have that puzzle in slock yesterday; haven't had it for months. That puzzle wasn't bought here in town." "So you think Doyle bought it in Boston and sent it to Scotter through an accomplice?" Terry sneered openly. ''It's not impossible, you know," Dowell replied. "I don't know that he is the paragon that you seem to think he is." "I know Doyle and he's as far from that sort of thing ns any man I know. What would be the point?" "Lots of points." (To be continued) Highest Accident Rate India has the highest accident rate for motor vehicles in the world. This fact is brought to light in the report of the Motor Vehicles Insurance Committee which recom- mends the introduetion of compuls- ory third-party insurance and more rigorous puniahmtnt for negligent driving. As a result of the comprehensive inquiries made by the committee in 21-Yr.-01d Wants To Be *Navigatrix' Daugliter of Sea Captain Wrote Examinations to Obtain 'License ALMA, N.B.â€" Miss Mollie Kool looked forward today to being the first woman in Canada to obtain a mate's home trade passenger steam certificate. Mollie spent most of her 21 years aboard her father's auxili- ary schooner Jean K. sailing out of here to various Bay of Fundy ports. She has written her navigation exam- inations. The girl, who hopes to become a "navigatrix" is the daughter of a Dutch sea craptain. Her father, Capt. Paul Kool, left his native Haarlem, in Holland, 25 year.^ ago and establish- ed in this Bay of Fundy port. He was born on a vessel at sea and has followed ships and shipping almost all his life. Sailing with the Jean K in the holidays, Mollie found the time too short, and five years ago she left school and became a permanent member of the vessel's crew. Whenever her vessel put into St. John, the girl sailor visited her friend Capt. Richard Pollock, the navigation instructor. It was from him that she learned the details of the sextant and chart.. So while other g.rls took courses in home economics and pored over cook-books, Mollie was aboard the Jean K breasting the Fundy tides or burying her nose in a nautical alma- nac. Not that Mollie is unfamiliar with the domestic art.s. Her father says she can manipulate a skillet with the best of them, and it is al! the same to her whether she is mending a run in a silk stocking or patching a tough canvas .sail. She will spent this summer on the coaster plying between Grand Manan and St. Stephen, N.B. Beautifying The Job Shakespeare once asked, ironically, "What's in a name?" The answer of today seem.s to be, "Everything''. Samuel Fassler, commissioner of buildings in Manhatan, urged the other day that master plumbers adopt for themselves the new name of "sanitary engineer," so as to make a better impression on the public. And why not? The whole idea these days seems to be to beautify your job with a fancy title. We have seen the press agent blossoming out as a public relations counsel, the under- taken becomes a mortician, the hair- dresser becomes a beautician and the movie actress becomes an artist. If the plumber wishes to become a sani- tary engineer, why shouldn't he? HOW TO SEW, by RUTH WYETH SPEARS Dots and Stripes To Trim Your Sheets and Pillow Cases Patlc-n 5-S These K^'y n^^w sheets and p How cases are the last word in chic for your guest room or for any bedroom, for that matter. They are inexpensive to make and have a decidedly modern air. The trimming consisl.s of bands of gingham applied in such a way that no sewing shows on the light side. If you want to be technical, they are really not bands at all but extension facings, and they will wear indefinitely if you buy fade-proof fabrics for the borders. lie sure to buy pillow tubing instead of plain muslin or percale for your pillov.' cases. By using the tubular material no side seam is needed. A pair of pillow cases made with extension facings like these iei|uire 1 "fi yards of the tubing. The 20-inch w idth makes a pillow- case of a nice size. The facings for a pair of these and one sheet will reijuire I \i yards of the contrasting figured gingham or this amount of gingham will trim two iiairs of pillow cases if the sheet is not desired. l!ig jHilka clots or stripes give the smartest etfect. Blue, green, yellow, orchid or rose with white dots or stripes are the colors generally used. The facing strips must be cut on the lengthwise threail of the goods. Fach strip is cut inches wide so that four strips may be cut from the p ece of 3(')-inch-wide gingham. It will be necessary to piece the strips for the sheet trimming. Be careful that the stripes or dots are perfectly matched at the piecing. Place the trimming strip right down on the right side of the sheet or pillow case and stitch it to the edge. Turn to the wrong side and hem it down to the seam allowance by hand as shown here at A. It is a good plan to pin the entire length of the material in place before you start to hem it down as this will prevent pulling the goods in as you sew. NOTE: â€" Mri.

The figures for non-fatal accidents reported in India were also found to be high, though there was reason to believe that a large number of such accidents were not reported. â€" Cal- cutta Statesman.

Wins Distinction Making Paints KKGINA. â€" Already a well-known Paskatchewan artist, Mrs. George C. Barr, Chairman of this city's Art and Letters Committee, added further to her laurels by painting what is believ- ed to be the first oil painting ever done in locally manufactured colors. A specialist in sky painting, iMrs. Barr's landscapes do not suffer when contrasted with pictures done in the more expeisivo imported European oils. In her opinion the prohibitive costs of imports will result in more extensive use of ''home-grown" col- ours.

Buying Our Wood Scotland, which knows good value when it sees it, is buying more Can- adian timber than at any time in iti history. The year 1935 saw the beginning of trade between that country and Canada for ready-made doors. It began with doors of Douglas fir, but now includes some white pine, and has grown so rapidly that last year Canada gained by far the largest share of the Sc-ottish trade in im- ported doors. Their totals, through Glasgow and Leith, amounted to 07,- 7r)0, or rou;.;hly 76 per cent. The principal competitors were the Unit- ed States and Sweden. There has also been a marked in- crease in the Scottish consumption of Eastern Canadian spruce. It has, in fact, been the most important of Eastern timbers into the Scottish market, and accounts for three-quar- ters of the year's imports of Eastern Canadian soft woods.
