Most of the baKeball writers predirt an- other fal'ure hut Terry IJurke of the Star thinks ihey have a chanee and IhrouKh 'I'liny Murallo. who has a restaurant In the Brnadwriy district and is associated with bookmakers and Kambh-rs. he bets $1 on them nt 200 to 1. The opening game is o pitchers' l)attle. Whitpur, the I'hila- delphia star twirler. is jealous of Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie short- stop, because ot Pop Clark's pretty daughter Frances. He tries to in- tim'date Larry with a bean ball and when he throws a second one at Lar- ry's head Doyle knocks him dowTi with a right to the chin. Larry is put out of the Kame. Later Whlt- per hits a home run with a man on basv but as Whit per is nearin^ the home plate, he drops dead, shot IhrouRh the heart. The IJIues win and it i» Renerally believed that Whitper was killed to allow them to win. Detective Kelly suspects Larry because he will not account foi his time «Hcr leaving the di.iinond. CIlAPTEll .Vl.NlO Terry went back to police head- quarters and began a ooiivcr.satioii with the mat. who had insisted the ncoident liad been planned. ''If." Terry bcKan. "Ilic; ai.-cident was planned, as you think, how would a person know that the cab would go through t!iat street?" "noeause all cabs going to the kill park from downtown go that way. JIow did you go out to tlio paik fr ini youi- hotel?" "On that street, i was there wlicn the wrecker pulled the oab nut of the ditch and 1 thought It was Just another accident." "There, you see? Nine out of ten ha -drivers go that way. lOverybody does. It's the way to go." ''I jUBt wanted to be sure." The next niornlnR Terry was at the scene of the .••ecideiit He went to the ditch, where some boys wore looking Into the hole and talking about the way the cab went down and all the details connccled with the mishap. There wa.t a huge pile of ''irt between the ditch and the curb un that side of the .street. Across the way the men v.'ere all working on tlio building and Terry thonghl of how he had threaded his way across the plank.s. Tliei; he remembered the Bol'.taiy niuu who had been working on the concrete while Ihe others were <Vlf looking at the nccidout. He wout •wtohs the !itrt:et nnd spoke to one of the fori'iuen lie askcil lilni liow milch of the floor was llulslied and told why he was Interested. Tlioy talked on and Terry said ho couldn't unitersland why one man stuck to his work when the otlierK wfrn consumed with curiosity. "Th.-v were .-ill oi.l liiiMiv I bad a h of a time with Ihcm Kct'ifiK them l)a(k." the foreman said. ''Hut I saw o-o man working," Tor- ry Insisted "lie wiin poking some- thlna Into tne conirele .Tlid smocith- Ing It over." "It cpuldn'l tie. ' bad '• s'op the mixers. be<'uuse there Is no point In having stuff mixed If the men arc not ready to work It. Voii must have been seeing thingH, young fellow." Terry wont back to headouarters, and asked to see the Police Conirnls- Hloncr anil told hiai his story. "And yon think." the (JoniiniKsloner askcMl. ''I hat ilie man you saw had Bouiethini; to ilo with tliis accident ?" ''If a" th workmen were on the Bln-et with the foreman, who war. the man 1 saw?' "WctH, v\ ; have cha.sed ciazler eiues. What do yoii think he was do- 'mk with the concrete?" "He pokid r.omelhing into it as 1 came up iinJ then smoothed It over. It v'ould make a swell hiding place for » gun. wouldn't It?" Terry asked. " don't know of a heller oiiel" the Commissioner agreed and pressed a button. >:< V V V :^ '^ V I In ten minutes Terry, Detective Mason and two policemen, with siren SCI- 'oming were ucing toward the scent) of the accident. Mason was armod with a warrant and Terry led him at oj.co tr the foreman. •'I've got a search warrant," Mason \'»lalne(, "For what?" Then the foreman spied Terry. ''Oh. it's you back again!" "I want a man with a drill â€" inaybe a couple of men," Mason suggested. Then to Terry, "Where did you see this l)Ozo?" I Terry took them to the section he thought was right. I "It couldn't have been that sec- tion." the foreman protested. ''Wo poured It yesterday. Might he the one behind It, though." i The men went to work with their drills and turned up the drying con-. Crete, but there was no sign of a; guu. I "Try your luck on that piece, now," Maron said. Th(( nun dug in again with their drills and broke up a largo section, and llnally one of them hrouglit to light a sbort-barrolnd riflo. •'Well. I'll he damned!" .Mason said lo Tt-riy. â- â- ] :Ui<! tbou^lil We were, en a wild-goose chase." i I'lielr find .«et the police off on un en I inly new Ir.neU. Terry became the wonder reporter.

While they wailed. Terry tried to recall th:it faro, hut he couldn't be sure. When llie reloueb<>r had rinlshcd Terry insisted that nnmlier 70.000 was the man he had soon. It was Sid Stream, a notorious gunman. The pajiers were full of the news. Sid Stream had plenty of warning to get away or hide, hut he was not successful In iloing either. That night a body was found In a police car standing in front of an uptown po- lice station. The body was that of Si(! Stream and he had been shot through the heart. That night when Terry went homo | ho found a warning In his mall. It was short and to the point and read: People Who Know Too .Much Die! Terry was Interviewed, written up ar.d talked about all over the conn- try.

Miriam Hopkins is Busy -NKVV VORK -- Unlil;e any other living American screen actress, Miri- am Hopkins did not intend to make a picture when she went to England this year. But Khe made one anyway for Alexander Korda and Walter Keisch called "Triant'le" (subse- quently rechristened "Men Are Not (iods"), v.'ith Certrude Lawrence and a promising newcomer called Sebas- tian Shaw. .She says she belongs to Samuel Goldwyii and is siippo.-.eil to do two more pictures for him; then I er dream is to free-lance. The first Goldwyn item will he "The Woman's roucli," nee "The Princess and the Pauper," by the Spcwacks. She was delighted to hear thai she has been leading in a newspaper poll for "Cone With the Wind," but â€" being II native of Georgia girl herself â€" does not know if she could manage the Southern accent properly. Inci- dentally, Miss Hopkins, when in town, lives in un old house in Sut- ton Place, haunted by ihe ghost of Alexander Woolcott, or somebody, keeps tUKboals and seagull.s in her | back yard and has n library in which some of Iho books look as though Ihey hail actually been read.

Most common household stains are easily reinovid if promptly treated- and the majority of these stains re- quire only a iO-minuLe soak in cool or lukewaim water, followed by a hot suds bath. There are, however, Ihe old stains, or those which have been "set" by improper treatment, which liei|',;cntly present quite a problem. Ah a general rule: (a) Grerse stains arc removed by a solvent or an absorbent. (b) Coloring nnittcr requires a ble.Tch. (c) Sugar and syrup arc effectively removed by warm water. (d) Kesinous (summy) substances may be cut with a solvent like alcohol or turpentine. One st.Tin may fall in two or more cla.-:slfications, and in such a case, several different treatments might bo necessary for thorough removal. An ice cream spot for instance, would leave sugar, grease, and color- ing matter nnd might require the use of n solvent, a bleach nnd perhaps an absorbent for thorough removal. Absorbents commonly used: Corn- meal, I'^rench chalk, cornstarch, and Fiiller's earth. Bleaches that are very effective for stain removal are: Ammonia (a 10 per cent solution, purchasable at your drug store is best); hydrogen peroxide, borax, javelle water, oxalic acid (dissolve 1 lb. of oxalic acid crystals in a cup of warm water and lai>el it poison); lemon juice. Solvents commonly used arc: Wa- ter, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, which may be purchased from your ilruggist; turpentine, lard. Some solvents are inflammable or explo- sive and should be used with much caution. The use of gasolene, ben- zine, (M- naptha is not recommended because of this danger. .Method of .Application: - The method of application must he regu- lated to a certain extent by the type of material to which it is applied, but here are some general sugges- tions: 1. Place fabric on a flat surface, over a protecting surface. 2. If the spot is moist, apply the ibsorbent until it has taken up all ihe excess moisture, then shake or finish off. n. Follow with an application ot the absorbent rubbed in gently to avoid injuring the fibres. 4. Allow to stand two hours, or over night. Brush off. .'). Apply a warm iron to wra'i;)ing 'laper or white blotting paper place.! ibiive nnd below the fabric. Bleaches:â€" Bleaches will remove the dye from colored fabrics and un- less carefully rinsed out, will weaken the fabric. 2. Apply the bleach with a medi- cine dropper. 3. Rinse at once by pouring luke- warm water through the cloth. Never allow a bleach lo dry on the fabric, .\mmonia is one of the few bleaches which may be used on silk and wool. Hydrogen peroxide and borax are also suit.ible. Solvents: 1. .May be used on silk and wooL Waterâ€" -warm, especially good for syrups! and sugary substances. Chloroform â€" fats, greases, oils. De.iatured Alcoholâ€" gum, flypaper and varnishes. Turpentine â€" paints. Lardâ€" black grease stains, like road oil. Rub into stain until lard discolors. Rub excess lard off with a cloth and follow with carbon tetra- chloride.
