At the teaton opcna the iportt writert, with the exception of Terry Burke of the Star, fine them little chance. He belt $10 on them at 200 to 1 at the rettaurant of Tony Murallo, a gambler, in the Broadway district. From the first game, in which Wh;l- per, the Philadelphia pitcher, it killed with a rifle bullet through the heart after smashing out a home- run, death or injury cripples the Blues' opponents. Both Whitper and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop and ex-Fordham star, had been attentive to Clark's pretty daughter, Frances, and the had ibown her preference for Larry. When four Boston players are in- jured, Burke learns that Sid Stream, notorious New York gunman, wreck- ed their taxi with a rifle bullet through a tire. Stream is found dead and Terry receives by mail the warning: "People who know too muck die!" Terry has the news first also when Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead from poison after hitting a homer. The poison comes from a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his favorite bat Pietro, the Chicago bat boy, disappears mysteriously. Masked gunmen truss up Terry, question him, gag him, and warn him he knows too much.

Both Terry and Doyle have been tutpected by Detective Kelly, and Clark tendt Doyle to Newark. Larry playt good ball there, it told to Boston, and it be- coming one of the most popular players in the league. "Wait a minute!" the house de- tective warned. "Don't touch any- thing! Let me look him over." The manajrer, with bulging eyes, watched Croft, the detective, as he felt Scotter's heart and then hold- ing the head in one hand pulled back the eyelids. He let the head down gently and turned to face the waiting men. "I'm afraid he's dead. I'll call the house doctor first and then we'd better notify the police." "How could he be dead? There was nothing the matter with him!" Abley protested. "I'm no good at riddles," Croft replied as he jiggled the hook of the receiver up and down. The house detective hurried in, pulled his stethoscope out of his bag and fumbled with the body. "There is no heart action," he said. "You mean he is dead?" Abley asked. "Butâ€" " "He is dead." "His heart, perhaps?" the manager suggested. "Don't know anything about him" the doctor replied quickly. "I'll have to call Palmer," Abley said, and went to the telephone. Croft had turned to the telephone himself. "Okay," he said. I'll use the one in the other room. We've got to notify the police." "What do you think?" Craven asked Terry as they waited. "I'm going to wait until I am dea 1 fjure this time," Terry whispered back. "I've had enough trouble with the police for liclny a good gues.«er." Abley turned from llic telephone. "I've got to go." He addressed the manager. "Palmer will fi.x things out at the park and be down here just as soon as he can." When the police arrived the man- ager and the house doctor told their stories and hurried away to their duties. The medical examiner was called in and made a hurried exam- ination. Terry and Craven helped lift the body from the talilo and put it on the bed and the doctor went to work. Craven moved over to tho card table and looked at tho puzzle for a moment. He turned his head this way amL that, trying to form an idea of the picture that had been partly pieced together. He picked up a piece and fitted it into place. He smoothed it down with his fingers arid reached for another piece. He became ab- sorbed in the intricacies of the pu'j- zle; fingered pieces, tried them, and swore when they did not fit, put them down and tried others. He lubbcd his fingers several times. His finger-tips were moist and they seemed somewhat sticky. There was a powdery dust on the table, as there usually is when a jig-saw :s spread out. Craven blew at the dust and then sneezed. He reached for another piece and his head began to swim. He leaned on tho table. His throat felt thick and swollen, his eyes hurt and he was suddenly afraid. "Terry!" he gasped in a dazed, choking voice. His arm went limp under him and he slid to the floor. Terry leaped tcward him. "What the hell?" tho doctor eN- claimed as he hacked away from the bed. "Fainted?" "Not Craven," Terry said. "Thoio is .something tei'rihly wrong with him. Come quick!" Craven was gasping for breath and his hands were pulling at his throat. They carried him into the next room, and the doctor loosened his clothes and gave him a hypodermic. "What's the matter with this hozo looked at C riiwn, no had quietGil somewhat. "The same thing that's the matter with the other one," the doctor an- swered, "and the hell of it is, I don't know what!"

No comment was available at the British Columbia police offices but police had stated that in such cases they would swear in special officers supplied by those making the request. A boycott of Doukhobor-grown produce by Canadian residents fol- lowing the recent incendiary wave which destroyed or damaged U build- ings around Nelson was believed the rea.»on for the sudden influx of Douk- hobors to the lumber operations. The Doukhobors primarily arc tillers of the soil. Canadian residents of Slocan Val- ley, about 20 miles north of here, and one of the districts to suffer by the firings, have refused to purchase Doukhobor garden produce. Messen- gers making purchases of staples here for Slocan families said they had been instructed not to buy from any firm which dealt with Doukhobors. Says Hockey Rival Of Music In Canada Mary Kamsay Praises Canadian Audiences After Kecent Tour NEW YORKâ€" Mary Ramsay, Scot- tish pianist, and Anders Timbcrg, Swedish tenor, this week applauded Canadian audiences as "appreciative and responsive to music." They are reti'rning to England after a tour of Canada. "However, I must say we had one great rivalâ€" and that was hockey," added Miss Ramsay whimsically. "We had to postpone one concert as there was a big game the .same evening.'' She went on to tell of arriving in a western Canadian town for a con- cert and being met by the manager of the concert hall with the warning that the recital, if given, would fall upon empty seats as a hockey game was to be played that night. "We finally went to the game our- selves and held our concert the next night," she said. LONDONâ€" In 1932 B. Smith, of Aston, Oxford, bought a litter of pig- lets at 5s. each.

Fear Discarding of Public Health Course OTTAWA. â€" Fear that McGill University may discontinue its gen- eral public health course for nurses was expressed by Dr. Helen R. Y. Reid, of Montreal, in tho round table discussion at the general meeting of the Victorian Order of Nurses Board of Governors. This course is a requisite of every V.O.N, nurse, and has been financed for the past five years by Canadian nurses, contributing about $5,000 a year to its support, explained Miss Margaret Hoag, superintendent of the Montreal branch. They feel they cannot continue this support, she said, and if McGill do not take it over it will probably be discontinued. In the event of that occurring, and with Toronto University having its maximum of students in that course, Fiastern Canadian training nurses would have to go to the United States for this instruction. Miss Hoag said. This, she continued, would be undesirable as Canadian nurses should be trained in Canadian uni- versities where they are taught with a view to conditions and necessities of Canadian nursing. fe|^- Direct from Montreal to ENGLAND.
