The opening game is a pitchers' battle. Whitpur, the Phila. delphia star twirler, is jealous of Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie short- stop, because ot Pop Clark's pretty daughter Frances. He tries to iin- timidate Larry with a bean ball and when he throws a second one at Lar ry's head Doyle knocks him down with a right to the chin. Larry is put out of the game. Later Whit- per hits a home run with a man on base but as Whitper is nearing the home plate, he drops dead, shot through the heart... The Blues win and it "is generally believed that Whitper was killed to allow them to win. Detective Kelly suspects Larry because he will not account fo) his time atter leaving the diamond.

Rawlins shook his head, "We went over to the dugout and hunted for both the boy and the bat. None of the men remember seein the kid after Dirk! went to bat." "That's bad." "I'll see it we can locate the boy through Pletro," Rawlins suggested and began searching in big pockets for a notebook, " '18 that the funny little. hunchback you've always had " And then as he waited for Rawlins, "Where is Ple- tro?" "That's what 1 am looking for," Rawline said impatiently, 'He has an uncle over on Jerome avenue and 1 was supposed to go over there to- nicht and have a real Italian supper. I had th. address somewherc, Yes, Here it is." He .handed it to Kelly. Kelly called information and asked it t.ere was a telephone under that name at that address.

"Dirkin had a' favorite bat an. rarely usea any other," Right after "e was pulled ut of the game, Doyle wandered all the way over to! our dugout and sort of looked around. "I thought that wasn't allowed," Kelly said. "It isn't. He was sort of absent- minded and went back when one of my men guyed him. 1 don't know what he wanted over there unless it was to do a little snooping," Rawlings suggested. "It might be just that very thing;" Kelly grabbed at the idea. "I'd like to have that up here." "I'll go down myself," Rawlins of- | fered. "Just a minute," Ke: ly sald. "rn send a man with yo.' "I don't need a guard," Rawlins protested. "No reflections, Rawlins, Kelly has- tened to say, "but murder, you know,' is a peculiar thing. While you and your team have everything to lose by Dirkin's death, yet there could easily be other reasons. We have to protect ourselves." . Rawlins went out accompanied by a policerian and was gone for so long a time that they all become uneasy." "Dirkin's favorite bat is not down there anywhere," Rawlins finally re- ported.

A generous low-cut collar does wonders for the larger sizes.

Mq Mosquitoes This May Seem Funny But Nevertheless It's True The time to 'prepare measures te combat mosquitoes. {8 now, before the warm spring sunshine melts the snow | and: ice. in fields and woodlands, and' releases nature from winter's icy "|grip. » The mosquito hordes 'that will appear in Many and-June are now helpless inthe egg stage, lying harm: less to man and animals, on soil. and leaves, under a blanket of snow, in jthe low places where water accumu- lates when nature awakes in spring. When water covers these eggs they will hatch and give risé to tiny larvae or '"wrigglers." The development .of the larvae in the cold water is slow at first, but as the sun's rays'inerease in strength and warm rains fall, it quickens, so that by early May many of the larvae will have transformed to pupae and some -of the winged forms will have emerged, and the fe males among them will be seeking food from: their. warm-blooded hosts, Once 'the mosquitoes are flying, they cannot, be effectively controlled, and the victims of their bites are reduced to swatting and complaining, or to using sprays and dopes which are at best only temporarily or partially pro tective. Therefore, now is the time to 'p'ar -1for action to combat mosquitoes, wher they are most vulnerable; that is, af ter they have hatched from the eg3t and are concentrated, as larvae and upae in the transient: water bodies f spring and early simmer, Like other. animals, these c¢reatures must breathe, and this they do. largely {through tube-shaped organs which they force. through: the . water surface at frequent intervals into the outer air. It a film of petroleum oil has been sprayed on the water the larvae and pupae are cut off from the life-giving - air, and in their efforts to reach it, their breathing organs and hodies be- come fouled . with: the joil and they quickly die. Better still, because the effects are. permanent; the removal of the water from the breeding places by drainage also destroys the larvae and pupae and prevents the: development of ofhers. By these means enormous - numbers of - mosquitoes may be de- stroyed at:small cost considering the benefits that follow. For best results proper planning and organization in advance is. necessary. This matter has been discussed more fully in a circular entitled '"Mosquite Control. in _ Canada," .copies of which may be secured by those interested from the Publicity and Extension Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, hava: Finds Greater 2 Opportunities Mrs. M.
