Terry B-jr'.ie is the only sports writer to give them a chance. He bets $10 at Tony Murallo's retsauranl in the Broadway district. In the Blues' first game NVhitper, the Philadelphia pitcher, is killed with a buliel through the heart after smashing out a home run. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rooki; shortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had shown her preference 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 Bos- ton players as the Blues are to open a series. Then Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead on the diamond from poi- son on a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his bat. Pietro, Chi- cago'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' Bt?.r pitcher, is found dead from a gas given off by a mysterious powder in the box with a jigsaw puzzle sent to him anonymously.

Ten-y was not to go to any unusual places without first in- forming Kelly, or if he was in an- other city he was to get in touch with the chief of police there. Their plans were not iron-clad and they all centered on Terry's ability to bring the gang out into the open. If Terry succeeded or if through him the gang were caught, then Terry was to receive twenty-five thousand dollars. If Terry was killed or dis- appeared, the same amount was to be paid to .Alee. When TeiTy left the meeting, he went directly to Alice, who was wait- ing for him- "What happened?" she asked. "I was worried about you. You were such a long time." "Nothing happened. They just talked and talked. I was only in on the end of it, but had to promise not to say anything. There will be a statement for the papers to-morrow, I was arranging for some life insur- ance. I made you the beneficiary in case anything should happen to me" "Don't talk like that, Terry. It makes me nervous." "Nothing is going to happen to me. I thought I'd do it now while I had the chanc-e. I'd do it anyway as soon as we are married, _so I thought I might as well get the job done." "When do you go away again?" 'They will resume their schedules Monday, so I'll have to leave here Sunday n'ght. How about dinner and a show? We've only got tonight and to-morrow, but I'll be back for the end of the week. Wo are finish- ing our western swing this week." They had a grand time that even- ing. Terry looked about him often, trying to snot the men who were covering him. but he could not be sure. In the restaurant there was a man sitting two tables awav who looked like a phiinclotiies man. .At the theatre the same man stood at the rear of the orchestra and Terry felt easier i. hs mind. Terry had a short talk with I.arry the next morp.ing. "The whole thing looks bad, doesn't it?" Larry asked. ".Are they going to do anything?" "Slated For a Swop" "They decided to 1:0 on playing ball and to ask for help from the po- lice in each city. There really isn't anything they can do. What they need is some luf'i. Ilow are things gong with you?" "Fine- I don't believe I'll be with Roston much longer. I have a feel- ing in my bones that I'm slated for a swop. Kenz has nearly recovered and will be playing full time ne.xt week. There isn't much of a place for me. I've heard rumors; there is supposcif to be a deal on with Wa.sh- ington and I'm to be sold at a fairly good price." "You'll go big down there." Terry prophesied. "I've got to make good and convince my family and Pop I'lark that 1 am a worthy young man, so to speak." "What do you think of the pigeons down there at the Feds' park?" "They bothered the life out of nie the first time they began llying around. That one pi.rocn. though, Is a wonder. The Feds certainly aie superstitious about that bird." When Terry checked in at the hotel in Cleveland r:e\t morning, all the reporters closed in on him w th eager questions aboi't the mesting. "Nothing happened," Tery said. "Just the usual bunk. Trying to npil me to th.> cross as ususl. They'll do anything to solve this Lusiness. Some day they will believe me." "Are they exdted about it out here?" Terry asked. "E.\cited:'"' Hover exploded- "There is a special detail of cops watching the Keds, and Planer has a body- guard all his own. The boys seem to be in pretty good shape, but their women-folk arc a bit hysterical. There are a lot of boys who have been asked not to play to-day." "I think it's all a publicity stunt," Reynolds cut in. "Yeah?" Craven snapped. 'Won- der what Whitper, Dirkin, Scotter and Rawlins think of the publicity, if they can think?" One of the greatest crowds in the annals of Cleveland baseball was out at the park that afternoon. There were plenty of police and they were needed more to keep the crowds in order than for anything else. The publicity in the papers and the talk about Planer had done r:iore for the gate receipts than anything in base- ball history. "Look at 'em, the ghouls!" Craven said as he looked out over the stands and bleachers- Just behind the pres box a man was sitting. He looked familiar and Terry paused and lookei at him a second time. That was the man who had the room next to him at the ho- tel. Terry had seen him gr.:ng up In the elevator in the morning as he was checking in. He remembered the clerk had said, "Yes, Mr. Burke, I've been holding a room for you." Terry hadn't thought of it at the time, but had supposed that Craven had reserv- ed a room for him. That was not the ease, however. It was his unknown body-guard- "The crowd is go ng to be awful disappointed if we don't have a mur- der to-day," Biers said. "I'll bet Big Boy Planer has the jitters right now." Mullins changed the subject. "There he is coming out," Doc Biers pointed just as a cheer rang through the stands. A Stellar Player With the exception of the famous "Babe," there has never been a fig- ure as popular as Planer in all the history of baseball. He could hit and field and never made a wrong m.ove on the diamond. His baseball sense was intuitive. Big Boy Planer had arrays been a romantic figure. He ran away from home when he was ten and traveled round the country for a year or so with one of the smaller circuses- He was in the South and discovered a baseball training camp. He became a hanger-on witn the Orioles. He was bat boy and general utility man. He ate, drank and slept baseball. He was a prime favorite with all the men, and old Keenan taught him all he knew about hitting. When Planer was eighteen he went out in the sticlcs playing sand- lot baseball. Then he went into the minors and after a c'ouple of years he went back to the Baltimore team. The kids had always been crazy about him- He was full of the tricks that endear a man to the hearts of children. For one thing, he never grew up himself. He was still a big boy, always had been and always would be. He spent thousanaa of dollars every year doing things for boys in orphanages. He probably au- tographed more baseballs in a few years than any player living or dead. He was known and loved from coast to coa.^t and from north to south. Planer was full of pep today- There was no trace of nervou.snoss- as he began to warm up for the game- The eyes of the entire sports world were on him, but those people there in the stands were wondering what might happen to him during the course of the game.

Women^s Dress Tell Their Nature Screen Dress Designer Advises Mere Man to Study Feminine Raiment HOLLYWOOD. â€" Judge a woman, not by the company she keeps, but by the clothes she wears, Milo Anderson, screen dress desisuer, counseled this week- "If you want to know what kind of wife your girl will bo, look over her clothes," -Anderson advised- Woman's actions and speech are a poor basis for an estimate of her worth, .Vnderson said, explaining: 'Remember, she's trying to impress you and is on her guard, but what she wears is a dead give-away of her char- acter and habits and is an accurate forecast of what your life will be with her after the honeymoon is over."' Here are some o( .Anderson's ob- servations: Woniou who are addicted to long, dangling ear rings talk a great deal. Girls who always wear high .icels are inclined to be coquettes. Girls who like to wear big picture hats are always seeking a background for their beautyâ€" they want you to be part of that background- Woiueu who choose "dizzy ' hats lack discretion and are easily delud- ed. And so on. What to do? ''The best wife timber." Andeisoa said, "is the young lady who makes her own clothes, yet looks as it she'd emerged from a swanky shop."

Glamorous Girl Has Trained Mind RejJ Beauty Goes Eeiow Surface Charm; Conservation Important True glamor â€" the enviable variety which lasts through the years, like real beauty, goes deeper than a sur- face of expertly applied cosmetics, lovely hair, even good posture. Much more important than exquisitely simple, flattering clothes, correct makeup and a chic coiflfure are a per- sonality, great tolerance and the ability to be interested as well as in- teresting. One who has decided to be a glamor girl, ought to give attempts to improve herself (her inner self) place number one â€" right out in front ahead of everything else- To be a thoroughly charming person, as well as a neat, well groomed, physically attractive one is an admirable aim and sure to pay huge dividends. Do Without the "I' Try eliminating the personal pro- noun from your conversation as much as possible. Get into the habit of listening (really listening) while others speak. .And don't argue for hours or be too dogmatic in your opinions. You don't have to be a namby-pamby yes - woman â€" but neither should you be just plain prejudiced or stubborn. You read the daily newspapers, don't you ? .And current magazines as well as historical novels, biogra- phies and other good books which make you think and enrich your store of knowledge. Little use in looking glamorous if your mind is stagnant and you have nothing interesting to talk about. If you want men to like you (and what girl does not?), better give up malicious gossiping, being catty about other women and discussing diets and clothes for hours on end- Say what you will, men like a little sweetness in a woman. .And no matter how glamorously lovely you look, they will be disappointed if and when they dis- cover that you are totally lacking in warmth antl friendliness.

Vatfiety is the Spice of Tapioca Desserts l3«ue No. 35â€" '37 Câ€" 3 How often, as meal times draw near, do you wonder rather desper- ately what you are going to serve for dessert Here are a few tricks to the dessert trade which will save you a lot of worry and work when that problem comes up again and the results will delight your family. Quick-cooking Tapioca Cream is the basis of seven different and tasty desserts, all of them practical, delicious and very economical too. This cream requires only five min- utes to cook after the liquid scalds which is a definite improvement on the old kind of tapioca v.hich took at least fiftee;i minutes to cook. It saves time and saves dishes and gives you a tapioca puddiir^ with a new delicacy of texture. Quick-cooking tapioca cream con- tains so many food essentials that it suggests plar.ning the n-.oal back- wards â€" merely supplementing the dessert with, a few simple dishes and a beverage. It contains egg.s and milk, fresh fruit and e::ergy-gi\ing tapioca, all of which go a long way towards meeting the family's daily food needs. Then all these good things are offered in a fluffy, creamy dessert, they banish all thougi'.t of duty and are eagerly eaten up.

Parliament Has Quota Lunatics and Donkeys OXFORD â€" If P:'.rliament were fully representative of the commun- ity, it would have as members one or two criminals, a few lunatics, scnic hefty children and in true democracy, an elderly donkey, said Miss Margery Fry, speaking at the summer school of the Howard Leagrue for Penal Reform.
