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, St. 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 oends Larry to Ncv/ark 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 g.ing and he agrees. Larry is in love with Frances Clark. Pep's pretty daughter, and Terry with Alice An- drywj. Big Boy Planer, Cleveland's all around star, is poisoned -. d In- capacitated, but lives. Terry outlines his plans to Kelly, who has become his friend, before the crucini scries between the Blues and Washington. Terry fears Larry is marked for death.

Device That Com- bines Three Deocribetl to Radiologists A new electrical device which mukcs the heart nutomalicaHy tal:e X-ray pictures of itself was shown before the International Conprcss of Radiology at ("hicago last week. With it physicians for the first time Rct accurate pictures of the size and shape of the heart in health and discT.se, instead of an nppro.ximate image, according to its inventors. Dr. I. Scth Ilirsch and Dr. Myron SehwarzschilJ, of New York City. Amplified 10,000 Times In operation, it combines three of science's newest toolsâ€" 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 are picked up from the surface of the body, amplified about 10,000 times, andpassed into the cathode ray tube where they arc 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 coll 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 chanjfo 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- ity. Many ca.scs of rariy lung disease can thus be found which otherwise would be blurred by the lung move- ments. Stereoscopic pictures made of the heart and lunsrs with the new device, called a "cardiocairograph." give "perfect fu.sion and a clarity and richness of detail that is truly sur- prising," ho added.

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 picture.?, the comedian admitted he has decided to attempt the transition from pantomime to speech. "I cannot say how soon the story will be ready â€" a year, perhaps," Chaplin said. ".Miss Pauletto Godard will appear with me."

Mrs. Ruth Winnek, dressmaking ex- pert and schoolmarin of the new in- stitution, feels that the inconvenience of missing buttons, porous sock.?, etc., 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 throe months and cost $25. A lot of men have signed up â€" mostly bachelors. Lord Tweedsmuir's new book, ".-Vu- gustus" is included in the list of books scheduled for fall publii-.ition.
