BOOT R ROLEX XXX XX XX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXXXXX] SOOO HI IN °, PIXXX XX ne BY CORTLAND FITZSIMMONS a Synopsis of Preceding Instalments: It has been ten' years since Pop Clark has won a United League pennant with his New York Blues, and as the season opens the sports writers, with the exception of Terry Burke of the Star, give them little chance. He bets $10 on them at 200 to 1 at the restaurant of Tony Murallo, a gambler, in the Broadway istrict. In the hard fought, open- ng game with Philadelphia, Whit- per, the visitors' star pitcher, dies from a rifle bullet through the heart as he is nearing the home plate after smashing out a home- un. The Blues win. There has [an ill-feeling between Larry Doyle the Blues' rookie shortstop, ex- Fordham star, "and Whitper because Clark's pretty daughter, Frances, i shown her preference for Larry. etective Kelly suspects' Doyle une til he learns that Larry was talking with Frances under the stands at the time the shot was fired. Terry writes a story about Frances clear- > Whitper's rival of suspicion and arry beats him up at Tony's. When the Blues are to open in Boston, four of the Boston stars are injur- d. By clever work Terry learns hat Sid Stream, notorious New York gunman, wrecked their taxi by firing a rifle bullet into a tire. Stream fs found dead and Terry receives by mail the warning: "People who mow too much die." Dirkin, the 'Chicago star, dies from poisoning ust after hitting a homer. Pietro, the Chicago bat boy, disappears, and t is suspected Dirkin was somehow isoned while handling his bat, Terry suggests: ft may have been thrown into the nearby Harlem River. "I know. It's your job to get ews, the way baseball is mine. Can fou spare a little time?" "Have you had - your dinner?" Terry asked. : "No, but 1 won't go downtown," Doyle hastened to add with a grin. #1've learned my lesson. How about '4 place on 126th Street?" They left the building and walked toward the avenue.

BURKE OF THE STAR, HELD UNDER SUSPICION; IMPLI- CATED IN 2nd BLUES DEATH The young reporter on the Star, who has been scooping all the news on the recent base- ball tragedies is being held un- der suspicion by the police. Burke scooped the town again today with the first story of the sccond murder at Blues Field. Burke, although he was in the press box at the. time of the tragedy, was able to get information to his paper about the murder before it was known to the police. While young Burke's part in the Boston af- fair was spectacular and on the side of law and order, the police want to know how it is possible for him to have news, if not be- fore it happens, at least simul- taneously. Ig It was Reyno!ds' Brooklyn paper and Terry crumbled it in a rage. "Why--" he exploded, 'the dirty. low, rotten--" Doyle laughed. "I don't blame you, but now you can underitand -how.1 felt. And there is more you didnt read. I'm in the paper again with thé rehash of the old story. They knew Kelly questioned me and they made quite a point of my look- ing over the bats. What have the bats to do with it, anyhow?" "The Butchers have a regular bat -boy, named Pietro, a little hunch- back, a young lad, not more than i|- sixteen or seventeen, who. hag .been.. with them for several years. You . know how superstitious imen on a. team become? Well, Pietro ' was their mascot, too." "But what has all this to do with . the bats?" Doyle asked. "Pietro came from Chicago with the team. When they arrived, he went up to Jerome Avenue. to stay with his uncle, who has a fruit and vegetable store. Just before the game started today, Rawlins re- ceived a note form Pietro saying he was sick and sending a substitute. Rawlins didn't have time to bother about the thing and just took the new boy on. Kelly thinks it is pos- sible that Dirkin was poisoned "through the bats. That's why he questioned you. -They can't find Dirkin's favorite bat, and what is worse, Pietro is not at his uncle's; he was not sick, and the substitute boy has vanished. It's too bad you went near the bats this afternoon." "I don't like it, Doyle said. "I guess it's my finish on the Blues." "Why should it be?" "Why shouldn't it? Pop won't stand for me being under suspicion. We're both in the same boat," Doyle said seriously. "You've got to watch your step just--as I must watch mine. do anything to save his face. We'll be watched from now on and I think we ought to work together." "Doing what?" "Getting at the bottom of this thing. These deaths can't be call- ed accidents any longer, Stream's death proved that. There's some- thing sinister behind them. If it gets out that we are suspected, what's to prevent our being framed?" "Why was Stream killed? If these people can keep the police off the real scent, it all becomes that much easier for them. We could be framed easily." "Framed !"

"During the past twelve months," Sir Ernest told the House, ' a new drug 'hag been tried, and the re- markable result - has followed that the maternal mortality rate has de- creased from 22 to 2 per cent." Sir Ernest said that the new drug, known as "sulphonamide," was disclosed to the Pathological Society of London only recently. It was of simpler constitution than many of the earlier drugs recommended for the same purpose. Toxicity was very much less, and another advantage was that it was best administered by the mouth. There was no secret for- mula or patent, and the drug was at the disposal of the medical profes- sion, he said.

Hot Summer Generally Follows Mild Winter Argues Welland-Port Colborne Tribune The amateur prophets suggest that because of the unusually high tem. peratures that have been characteris- tic of this Winter, we are likely te have a cool Summer, The records do not tend to sup- port such a prediction. In the pas when there 'was an exceptionally mil Winter, the succeeding Summer usu- ally was hot. That was- actually the case, in seven Summers following the nine mildest 'Winters in the last 96 years, according to statistics of the Canadian meteorological department. The general explanation offered by weather experts as to why warm Sum. mers follow "warm - Winters is that trends in weather persist.. It is also the case, as in the present Winter. That tremendous areas of the country are clear of snow and ice so more heat from the sun's rays can be ab- sorbed and given oft by radiation. If. - a Winter is unusually cold, with deep snow, the Spring {s usually late and it requires more heat from the sun to warm the earth. : : : Of course it is possible to have ex- ceptions. The law of averages has to be kept in mind but it appears from past perfor+ances that we are likely to have a. warm Summer following this nild Winter. It is recalled that during the Win- ter of 1879-80 men went about in shirts sleeves in. Ontario, sat about on benches in the parks, dug their gar- 't~dens and mowed grass, Interesting "incidents of the mild Winter of five years ago are also relited. Even as - far north as the Soo, bees were out in the open and some even go so far as to say tha tmosquitoes were active, ~The average oitizen, however, has forgotten the details for unugual wea: ther does not make a lasting impres- sion on the memory except in the case of those who make a hobby of keeping tab on the weather from year to year.
