In the Blues' first game Whitper, Philadelphia's â- tar pitcher, is killed with a bullet through the heart after smashing out a home run. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie short-stop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had shown her preference over Whit- per. are suspected at first by Detec- tive Kelly. Death or injury cripple every team the Blues meet, and al- most always Burke gets a beat for his paper on these sensational hap- penings. It is Burke who discovers it was a notorious gunman who sent four Boston players to the hospital with a bullet through their taxi tire. Oir- kin, Chicago star, dies on the diamond from poison on a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his bat. Pietro, Chicago's boy, disappears. Clark sends Doyle to Newark but he Is soon sold to Boston. The Blues are in fourth place when they go to St. Louis, where Scotter, pitching ace, is found dead from gas given off by a mysterious powder in the box with a Jigsaw puzzle sent to him anonymous- ly. Masked gunmen truss Burke up, question him and warn him he knjjws too much. Rawlins, the Chicago man- ' ager, is hanged in a hotel room ad- joining his own. Penny, Detroit's star pitcher, refuses to play against the Blues. Baseball's czar temporarily suspends the playing schedule and at a meeting of club owners Terry agrees to risk helping them uncover the â- murder gang. ' Sony 1 can't provide you boys with « Rolls." the detective said amiably. "What's the lay?" Mulling asked. â- 'Somothing happened to Planer.' "What'?" they chorused. 'Poison, 1 guess." "Is he dead?" â- 'No. They think they .i;ot him in time, but he is pretty bad. The doc- tors say he had an overdose of some- thing or other. Our job was to find out how it was done and who did it. Wo got hold of the kids at the stand first. They said there were a lot of men at the stand when Planer was there. We went for the cops who â- were on duty and they said a bunch of men from the press bo.x had gone to the stand when the field was about clear. The kid recognized youâ€"" "And here we are." finished Craven. They were questioned singly and in a grcup. Each man was asked to give his version of what had happened at the stand, how many of the frank- furters Planer had eaten, who was near him while he was eating them, and a number of other questions. Their stories were amazingly alike, perhaps because they had been trained to report what they saw. There was the greatest discrepancy about the time of the report when the smoke was seen out on the field. Terry and Craven agreed on the time and said it was at the moment Planer was handed the first frank- furter before it happened. Heynolds BABY'S OWN •SOAP- J3cit /c/t ^ou and IJeJbif toQ said he thought Planer had had sev- eral. The two boys did not agree. The poison was found in the mus- tard pot and a little of it would un- doubtedly have killed Planer. The police could not understand the slip- up made by the murderers. They sure- ly knew Planer's weakness where hot dogs were concerned. He always ate four or Ave and that day he had taken six. It was the overdose that saved his life; had he eaten one or two he would have died. They were very anxious to fix the time of the small explosion en the field, as they believ- ed that had important bearing on the case. It was Mullins who remembered that the boy had produced a clean mustard-pot for Planer. The boy was questioned and with tears in his eyes said they didn't change the pot every day, but they always had a fresh one for Planer. The boys insisted that no one had been behind the counter and they swore that the mustard pot Planer had used had been freshly filled that af- ternoon and hn-l r-"' hem used by anyone else. It the boys v.vii.- liglit aud no one had been behind the stand, then the poison must have been put in while the mustard pot was on the counter. The important thing was to know when it had been put in. The mur- derer would know all about Planer and his habits or he would nut have selected that means of killing him. Why, then, was the poison put in be- fore Planer had eaten two or three frankfurters? The puff of smoke on the fifld must have had some bearing r â-  • --p. but what?

As they were leaving he said to Terry: "You're Burke, aren't you? Do you mind waiting a moment?" Terry smiled back at the jovial- faced man. "Do you know anything at all?" the chief asked. ''Not a thing.'' â- 'I thought you might have seen or heard something that you didn't want to say in front of the others." "No. I wish I did know." The boys were shouting the extras on the streets when the men arrived at the hotel. Fiend Tries to Kill Planer was the scarehead. There was very little news in the paper about the crime, but the wires to New York were kept busy for about a half-hour as each man frantically wired his pa- per whatever scraps of news he could find. They talked of nothing else at din- ner and Reynolds said, "You boys are a bunch of saps. I telephoned my "«tory in and I bet we have a beat." The whole country was in an up- roar over the attempt on Planer's life. Every paper had something to say about it. The police were up- braided unmercifully tor negligence. Button was severely criticized for per- mitting Planer to leave his sight. In the meantime the series went on and the Sluts left Cleveland with one out of three games to their credit, which upset calculations considerably. On the third day after the poisoning it was announced that Planer had a bettor than flfty-fitty chance to recov- er. Then the bulletins became less Strenuous Diet May Injure Eyes Vision is Affected by Lack of Necessary Vitamins Streamlining the figure by strenu- ous diets prescribed by persons with no scientific training in food values or nutrition, may cause permanent impairment of the eyesight. The rea- son for this is that three foods par- ticularly important to eye health are either taboo or are put at a minimum in most of these diets. Just recently scientists have discov- ered that the substance in the eye which is sensitive to light and which they term "visual purple" is really a protein that is bleached by the action of strong light and renews itself by returning to its original color in the dark. Whenever there has been slowness in color restoration, 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 MAKE THIS MODEL AT HOME Princess Slio Fits To Perfection PA'ITERN 4484 By Anne Adams Here's just the slip you've been looking for, one that solves every one of your "undie"' problems'.

But it was six weeks before he was able to put on a uniform again.

Night Driving 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 eyeball is re- moved from the glare, but when the elements are lacking, the process is slow and defective. Recent experi- ments hav# shown that it is danger- ous for certain people to drive at night because the ''visual purple" in their eyes is not restored quickly after hav- ing been bleached by the glare of on- 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. Indian Angels In Arctic Church Decorations Designed to Appeal To Dusky Worshippers FORT GOOD HOPE, N.W.T.â€" Black haired, brown-skinned angels, cherub- im and seraphim, make the Oblate Order's mission church at this little post. 19 miles inside the Arctic Circle, the Mackenzie Rivers most noted show place. The little wooden building housing the dark-hued heavenly beings was erected 70 .years ago by Father Petltot and Brother Ancel, French mission- aries. It has a night blue ceiling stud- ded with gold stars. All wall space is covered with murals, pictures and oth- er decorations made by the two al- most entirely from materials available at the fort. All lumber was sawed by hand and the original church, before repairs were effected in later years, contained no nails. It was pegged together. At lirst it contained no ornaments, but the two men, working for years, pro- duced murals in reds, browns, yel- lows greens and blues, using native materials and paint powders shipped to them by canoe and dog sled from "outside". Brown Cherubim It was Father Petitot who thought of the brown-skinned cherubim and seraphim. The Indians he reasoned, would be more likely to consider themselves candidates for a joyous hereafter if they saw the heavenly population reproduced in their own colors. With Brother Ancel. the priest went to work, producing during the many years they lived here, decorations that make this the norths most ornate church. Near the altar, carved at Fort Good Hope, are large murals of the Holy Family and the Temptation. The figures are white. Three fathers and a brother staff the mission now. Father Jean-Louis Michel, the superior, and Fathers Gab- riel Houssais and Victor Philippe came from France, Fathers Houssais 42 years ago. The lone brother. Henri Latreille, is a Canadian who calls Coteau, Que., his home. Brother Latreille says: "I am the woman of the house. 1 do the cooking and look after the place." He is going home for a holiday this fall and will be back on the first boat next spring. Kept Promise 70 Yecnrs ADELAIDE, Australia.â€" Mrs. J. B. Curry, 90, has held a local depart- ment store to a promise made to her 70 years ago. At the age of 20. Mrs. Ci»rry was the first customer of the Rundle St. department store. She went in to purchase some linen damask and to 'christen" the store. The manage- ment, to honor its first customer, pre- senter her wth a long-sleeved frock, a red flannel petticoat, white stock- ings and a white crinoline with fancy frills. "When you are 'JO." she was told "come back and we will give you at\- othor dress." Mrs. Curry returned to the store, loniinded the management of its promise of 70 years ago. and chose a plain black dress.

Home Hints By LAURA KNIGHT YOUR FAVORITE DES.SERT â€" ICE CREAM â€" EASILY MADE Ask any Canadian what his favor- ite dessert is and the answer will be "ice cream." Some may say ice cream and cake, others ice cream and apple pie, but ice cream is the fav- orite throughout the country. You all remember the old methods of making ice cream. You cooked the custard foundation, boiled the sugar, melted marshmallows and did a whole lot of tedious tasks to get a quart of the family's favorite d!sh. In fact, we know of one "horse and buggy'' era recipe which reijuired 14 different steps. But that is all over and hundreds of housewives are get- ting a big thrill out of the ice cream powder which can be purchased so cheaply and easily now. There are all kinds of flavors and even one un- flavored powder which gives you the chance of adding your own favorite flavor. From ice cream powder you can now make delicious desserts in a few easy steps. When serving ice cream let your imagination do the decorating. There are many tricks that add novelty and finer flavor to this old favorite. Sauces, for instance, are particular- ly good to pep up ice cream and either chocolate or butterscotch is always popular. Maple syrup, nuts, coconut and whipped cream will en- able you to make very professional looking sundaes right at home. Here are a few recipes using the new ice cream powder and we'll guarantee that you and your family will be more than pleased with the results.

Police May Adopt Homespun Dress QUEBEC â€" Snappy homespun uni- forms may replace the traditional blue serge which has garbed Quebec City policemen for generations, if a suggestion made by Quebec Mayor, J. E. Gregoire, is acted upon. His Worship feels that the grey homespun uniforms would not only provide a decided contrast to the or- dinary order of things, but would also encourage French-Canadian in- dustry. There is a possibihty of the law also being adorned with colorful woollen belts, such as those worn by snowshoers and "Coureurs des Bois' centuries ago. This is suggested as a tourist attraction.
