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 commis- sion by serious injury. Whitper, Phil adelphia 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, 8t. Louis pitching ace, is poisoned; Rawlins, Chicago manager, is hanged in the hotel 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 Ito 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 poisoned and In- capacitated, but lives. Terry outlines his plans to Kelly, who has become his friend, before the crucial series between the Blues and Washington. Terry fears Larry is marked for death. Terry hurried off to meet Alice, who wanted to go to Washington with him. She knew something was afoot and had been furious with him for run- ning those articles and endangering hig life, but he just laughed and in- gisted he knew what he was doing. "All right," Alice said somewhat petulantly; "but be careful." She kiss: ed him then and gave him a shove toward the gate. Terry ran down the steps, his por- ter trailing him. Halfway down he turned to wave, but Alice had gone. When Terry was clear of the stairs, a grinning porter signaled Alice and she, too, hurried down the - steps. There were only two minutes léft be- fore the train left and Alice waited on the platform until the train was under way. Terry was not in her car and she did not look for him until the train was between Philadelphia and Baltimore, "For the love of Mike!" he exclaim- ed as she stood beside his chair and he looked up in surprise. "Want-to' go back in the. lounge?" she asked quietly. They made their way back through the train. 'You need a bodyguard young man," she sald as they paused on one of the plat- forms. "For life," he replied, fore she knew what he was doing he had grabbed her in a bear hug and kigsed her. "Idiot!" she cried, but smiled at him indulgently. "You shouldn't have come," he said when they sat down, but his eyes were soft and appreciative. "And why not?" "Because it may--" he checked him- self. "Be dangerous, you were going to say! I wouldn't let you run any new risks, Terry, You've been trying to get yourself killed for the past few weeks. Why have you done {t?" "I want to get at the bottom of this." : "Why should you risk your life? Doesn't it mean anything to you?" "You don't know how much, now that I have you. Just trust me a lit tle longer, will you?" "I'll always trust you, Lut I'll keep my eye on you at the same time." They laughed at that. In Washington they found Larry at the hotel waiting for Frances. She was to come down on the late train. After Alice had left them alone, Ter- ry asked, "How do you feel, Larry? Worried?" THA little" "So am IL." "You ought to be. You certainly have tried to get yourself in trouble these last few weeks. What's the idea?" "You sound like Alice," Terry grunt- ed. "I've been trying to draw them out, but they are too smart for me. They haven't made a sign, not one." "And you keep tiying to have your- gelf humped off, is that it?" Larry asked. "I can't tell you the plans, but my ideas have changed, since we talked this over the last time. Kelly is work- ing with me. The gamblers are in for a trimming, are up in arms and are trying to get the dope for the police. The cops have promised them immun- ity in New York State. If the Blues win, the poolrooms are going to be hard hit. They don't want the Blues to win. We are hoping they will run this thing to the ground for us.

With Bernstein, Dorfer and Tinkey working with us, your chances are much better." "Unless something happens soon, Washington will win the pennant." "And I hope they do," Terry sald vehemently. "If the Blues should win now, heaven only knows what will happen to baseball. The Feds must win and whoever has been doing these murders must be brought to justice." "l hope they get caught," Larry said with real feeling. "I didn't know Alice was coming down here. She put one over on me, I have a job I want to do; will you take her down to meet the train with you when you go to meet Frances?" "Cainer made me promise I would- n't leave the hotel without his per- mission. He's worried stiff. He may not think I ought to meet Frances." "Why don't you call Cainer?" After a long telephone talk with Cainer, Larry said, "He doesn't want me to go. A funny thing has hap- field called Cainer a little while ago and told him the pet pigeon is gone." "How would he know that?" "He'd know, all right. You know they are all tame, but there is one of them tamer than the rest. You've seen it circle over the field and come down on the diamond during a game, The head groundsman has been a lit- tle jealous of me because I've sort of cut him out with his pet, It comes up, lights on my shoulder and takes peanuts right out of my mouth. He would know if it were gone. .." "It has probably been captured by some lad who makes a hobby of pig- eons," Terry suggested, Terry got up. "Look. I'm going to beat it while Alice is still in her room. I'll be back in a little while. I want to see the fellows for a few minutes." i Terry took a cab and. went out to the ball park. He wanted to know more about the missing pigeon. The groundsman said it had been there Saturday afternoon; he had fed them himself. When or how his pet was taken he did not know. Terry tried to fit the pieces to- gether, Who would want to take the pigeon, in the first place? Did they take it just to add one more thing to break the morale of the Feds? Some- how he feared it was in connection with, Larry that the pigeon had been takerf, but why? They knew, of course, that the pigeon always flew to Larry on the ficld. Would they try some new and unexplained method of killing Larry? (To Be Continued.)

The groundsmen out at the Heart Takes Own Picture New Electrical Device That Com- bines Three Described to Radiologists A new electrical device which makes the heart automatically take X-ray pictures of itself was shown before the International Congress of Radiology at Chicago last week. With it physicians for the first time get accurate pictures of the size and shape of the heart in health and disease, instead of an approximate image, according to its inventors, Dr. I. Seth Hirsch and Dr. Myron Schwarzschild, of New York City. Amplified 10,000 Times In operation, it combines three of science's newest tools--the electro- cardiograph, which picks up the small electrical waves generated by the heart; the cathode ray tube which makes electrons dance visibly to show the electrical waves, and the photo- electric -cell, or electric eye, which transfers light rays into electricity. The electric waves from the heart arc picked up from the surface of the body, amplified about 10,000 times, andpassed into the cathode ray tube where they are made visible, As the heart reaches its maximum expansion it produces'a characteristic long wave which is picked up by the photo- electric cell. The cell instanteously closes a circuit to the X-ray tube which makes a quick snapshot of the heart at that point. Also Photographs Lungs By a simple change in the appara- tus it may also be used to photograph the lungs at any desired point in ex- pansion or contraction, Dr, Hirsch explained, and diseased conditions can be diagnosed more readily than ever before because of the greater detail obtained by continuous pictures made at the same point in lung activ- can thus be found which otherwise would be blurred by the lung move- ments, . \ Stereoscopic pictures made of the heart and lungs with the new device, called a '"cardiocairograph," give "perfect fusion and a clarity and richness of detail that is truly sur- prising," he added.

Charley Chaplin Discards His Old Comedy Outfit A little tramp with baggy pants, gargantuan footwear and tooth-brush moustache is no more, Charles Chap- lin announced recently. The tramp sang his swan song, a jumbled lyric, in "Modern Times" after a career that stretched back to 1913, And Chaplin, his creator, is at work on a story in which he will project an entirely new personality. After a decade of evading talking pictures, the comedian admitted he has decided to attempt the transition from pantomime to speech. rigs "I cannot say how soon the story will be ready--a year, perhaps," Chaplin said.

Mrs. Ruth Winnek, dressmaking ex- pert and schoolmarm of the new in- stitution, feels that the inconvenience of missing buttons, porous socks, ete., has come to outweigh the traditional sissy connotation of sewing, and she is' determined to make the men in- dependent. "The sewing school for men has a definite place in the scheme of life of the modern American man," she says. The course will last three months and cost $25. A lot of men have signed up--mostly bachelors. wks Lord Tweedsmuir's new book, "Au- - gustus" is included in the list of books scheduled for fall publication. The book, a biography of the Roman Emperor, will be issued "by John Buchan," the name Canada's Govern. or-General made famous by his pen long before he was raised to the peerage.

TINS « = 70¢ Reducing Helps = ~ Spoil Eyesight . | - Never Read When Facing a Light. _ Streamlining the figure by strenu- ous diets prescribed by persons with 4 no scientific training in food values or nutrition, may cause permanent impairment to the eyesight. The rea- _£cn for this is that three foods par- .- ticularly important to eye health are either tabu or are put at a minimum'® in most of these diets. Just recently scientists have dis- covered that the substance-jn the ey which i8 sensitive to light and which they term "visual purple" is really a protein that is bleached 'by the ac- tion of strong light and renews itself by returning to its original color in: & the dark,' - Deficiency of Vitamins Whenever there hag been slowness in color restoratibn, scientists have found it due to a deficiency of a par- . ticular vitamin in the food of which the best sources are butter, cream and milk, and in a lesser degree, egg yolk, liver and fresh vegetables. Cod liver oll is richest of all in it. Dr. E. V. Mc- Collum of Johns Hopkins University points out, however, that by drinking a quart of whole milk daily butter may» be omitted. "Visual Purple" When the eyes are exposed to strong light, the 'visual purple" pro- tein changes rapidly to yellow and then slowly becomes colorless. If the system is plentifully supplied with es. § sential elements, regeneration . takes place as soon as the eye-ball is re-- moved from the glare, but when the elements are lacking, the process is slow and defective. Recent experi: ments have shown that it is danger- ous for certain people to drive at night because the 'visual purple" in their eyes i8 not restored quickly after hav- 'ing been bleached by the glare of on- ~ ly coming headlights. When a deficiency of the essential ' vitamin continues for any length of time, actual damage to the membranes covering the eyes takes place. Other important considerations for eye health are: Protect the eyes from strong light glare by wearing dark ¢ glasses. Never read while facing a strong light. Problem Children . To Be Examined Before Being Dealt With - By e British Courts Britain is to have a new Observa. ° -« tion Centre. To it, the "problem" children who have got themselves in- to_criminal difficulties of one sort or » another may be sent for examination before being dealt with finally by the courts, The Goldsmiths Company has made this centre possible by offering £6,000 for the setting up and equipping of it, : and it is thought that the offer will meet, at any rate in part, one of the main drawbacks hitherto experienced in individual cases in order to pre- vent the development of a criminal career. Education Rather Than Punishment Ways of reaching the causes which lead to juvenile delinquency are being considered seriously in Britaii-and in many directions, since the rising de- lingyency figures among young people are giving/ more than a little anxiety 0 to authority. A further proposal in regard to the treatment of the child was made re: cently by Edward Fuller of the Save the Children' Fund, speaking at the International Conferénce on the Pro- [ 4 Ks tection of Children in Paris. Mr. Full er urged that more attention shkotld be given to the constitution of mag isterial benches in juvenile courts. Public opinion, Mr. Fuller addcd, had been roused to see that magis- trates should be young and in youth- ful sympathy with-:the children who came before them, but public opinion has not yet realized that all juvenile court procedure should be in relation 2 to education rather than to the pcnal pon system, 1 Li Calls Banking ) of 1 o Boring Business Cashier Claims it Can Turn a Person Into a Cabbage Banking 1s the most monotonous work that a man can do.
