As the season opens the sports writers, with the exception of Terry Burke of the Star, (ive them little >:hance. He bets $10 on them at 200 to I at the restaurant of Tony Murallo, a (ambler, in the Broadway district. From the first game, in which Whit- per, the Philadelphia pitcher, is killed with a rifle bullet throug!'. the heart after smashing out a home- run, death or injury cripples the Blues' opponents. Both Whitpcr â- nd Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop and ex-Fordham star, had been attentive to Clark's pretty daughter, Frances, and she had shown her preference for Larry. When four Boston players are in- jured, Burke learns that Sid Stream, notorious New 'I'ork 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 much die!" Terry has the news first also when Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead from poison after hitting a homer. Th«4 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, • nd warn him he knows too much. He swears his bea's are due to lucky launches. Both Terry and Doyle have been suspected by Detective Kelly, and Clark tends Doyle to Newark. Larry plays good ball there, is sold to Boston, and is be- coming one of the most popular players in the league. "Ls he KU-'IK t" III' iiH liKhl?'' TiTiy jisktd anxiously, "I think so, I don't know, Maylie wi' Ki>t him ju.st in tinu'. i can't do anything hut try to keep hi,s hi'art goinij.

"JiRsaw, eh? We'll have to look into that." The ambulance came and took Craven away, Terry waited until the inspector came up. "What have we here?'* Inspector Dowell a.sked as he came into the room. "I wi.sh I knew," the examiner re- plied. "This fellow, it's Scotter of the Rubes, i.s dead, and I've just sent a felknv off to the hospital who may die." ".Scotter? That's tough. What liappened to him?'' "I don't know. The lad I sent to the hospital acted as if he had been gassed, but how in hell he could have been, I don't know. lie was a pal of this man here and he says he was okay when they came up." The inspector turned to Terry. "Who are you?" Terry explained who he was and how they happened to he in the room when the bo<ly was discovered, "left's see, aren't you the fellow who was mixed up in tho.se murders in N'ew York and Boston?" "I wouldn't say I was mixed up in them. I scooped them and was under suspicion for about ten min- utes when Dirkin was killed.' "It wa.s just your curiosity asain that hrouK+it you here, eh?" the in- spector asked and hs lone was not too friendly. "What made you feel so iuiious?" "We were down in the lobby wait- ing for Scotter to conic out. When Abley began to get uneasy I hung around him and when he caftie up here Craven and I followed him." "What happened to your friend, Craven?" "I don't know.' The examiner cut in and toiil the inspector all that Terry had told him just a minute before. "You say .Scotter was gassed?' "(iassed or poisuned, I don't know which." "Klen!" the inspeilor balked. "Yes, sir!" Klein came to the door. "t!lear that room and don't tuuih or let anyone else touch anything in there. ' "V(S, sir." "How long will il lake you lo Had out what happeneil to Scotter and the other man?" the inspector asked the (luelor. "I don't know, luit 1 wouM like to lake some of that jil'saw puzzle with me." "Why?" "Kver hear ..f the .Medici?'' "I've an idea," \.\w. medical exam- iner an.swercd his own question, "The Medici had all sorts of tricks for kill- ing people, Maltresses that, when a person slept on them, killed Iheiii because the heat of their bodies lib- erated a poisonous gas. That puz- zle has something lo do with the death of Scotter and the condition of the other man.'' "Klein!" Inspector Dowell liarkcd once more, and when the detective came lo the door, "The doctor wants to take part of that puzzle away with him." Then to the doctor, "Be care- ful. Doc. We don't want to lose you," Through the door Terry wat.hed the doctor slide some pieces of the l)uzzle onto a newspaper; then he took a blotter and scraped onto the paper seme fme white dust that look- ed like wooil powder. "Be as quick as you can," the in- spector called after the doctor. "May I go now?'' Terry asked. "Go where?" "I'm supposed to report the game for my paper."' "I guess you'll have to miss the game, young fellow." "Okay."' Terry moved to the tele- phone. "What's on your mind?" Dowell asked. "My job." "Nothing doing." "But why can't T send out a wire?'' Terry objected. "Because there is nothing to send," "Gosh, inspector! It's great news for my paper. A faim)us player is found dead, the cause unknown! Don't you see how it hooks up with these other murders ? Craven, a newspaperman, is stricken by the same malady in the room with the dead man. It's tremendous news- paper stuff!" "Yeah, I know, and it's damned queer how you just happen to be around each time it happens." "Will you do something for me?" Terry asked. "What?" "Wire Detective Kelly at Centre Street, New York, and ask him if it is advisable to hold me. Kelly is the man who has had me under sus- picion." "What does he know about you." "He has had me covered ever since Dirkin was killed." "I might, at that,'" the inspector said reluctantly. "Give me a break, won't you?" Terry pleaded. "All right. I'll do il." "Will you let me go out to the game? Send a man with me, if you like. You can get the press box if you want me before the game is over."

Pine Is Tested For Newsprint To Supply U. S. â€" American Publisliers Fear Can&diat;! Price Boost NEW YORKâ€" James G. .Stahlman, of Nashville, Tcnn., to!d the .Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers' Associa- tion last week it is time to bring the newsprint industry back into the Uni- ted Slates. The declaration followed a discus- sion of increasing cost of newsprint paper, practically all of which is manufactured in Canada. American publishers have been ad- vised cost of paper will be increased from $4.'!.,'')0 a ton to $50 a ton the first of next year and will be held at that figure at least for the first six months. Stahlman, vice-president of the A.N.P.A., and chairman of the news- print committee of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association, declared "southern pine offers the opportunity" to restore the industry within the United States. He was expected to be elected president at the concluding session of the discus- sion. He said a mill soon will be estab- lished in Eastern Texas, to care for the need? of publishers in that state and Oklahoma, Arkan.sas, and Louis- iana. Stahlman said there was hope a similar mill will l)e put into opera- tion east of the Mississippi River in a southeastern state. The Nashville publishi.>r declared it would be a good thing to build mills where they, would not be "harried by politics and other conditions in Can- ada," A new manufacturing process, he said, is being developed through the "bleached sulphate process," the same used in making kraft wrapping paper. Since .January, ISKiti, Stahlman ad- ded .$GO,000,0U0 has been invested in kraft units lo utilize southern pine, and he explained those same mach- ines, with minor changes, will make a fine grade of newsprint paper. Stahlman declared "the publ.sliers in Ihs country are coming to the point where they will support, through contracts, any group of capi- talists who set up the mills,'' He said the newsprint paper could be made available lo the publishers at cheaper prices than elsewhere. "When the newsprint industry has moved back within the h:)undarie.s of the United States. .American publish- ers wiil be freed from the (lon-.inat ion of Canadian and foreign newsprint interests, " he asserted.

We are out to dispel that idea and here are some recipes which prove that quick-setting jelly has an Infinite variety of uses which will endear it to the hearts of busy homemakers. These packages of jelly In bright col- ors ard various flavors can come to your rescue on numerous occasions when you feel you just can't make a meal out of what is left over and yet you can't throw the scraps ^way.

But once you have tasted them, it won't astonish you to find that the family will want them again and again.

Or mold in ring mold and serve as salad garnished with may- onnaise. Serves .^ The Tempting Omelet There is nothing terrifying about attempting an omelet. Omelet-making is not an over- crowded profession, and any one showing nmrked gifts in that direc- tion is credited with a skill amount- ing almost to wizardry Catch hold of this frying pan. It is a thick iron .int- and is kept ex- clusively for the making of omelets. It is not washed after use, but is simply wiped clean with a cloth or tissue pa|)er. Its bottom is perfectly flat so that it cannot reel about on the gas-ring or over whatever hot flame the ome- let is going LO be cooked. The flame must be hot and the pan must be hot, because speed is the essence of good omelet-making. Slow cooking means toughness. For this reason, do not pui, more eggs into the pan that will form a thinnish layer on the bottom. A Plain One Since the plain omelet is the basis of a thousand others, we will make one. Let the pan get hot, and place in it a piece of butter, which, when melted, will do no more th.in just cover the bottom of the pan. Three eggs is a handy number to start prac- tice on. Break them into a basin, and beat them just enough to mix the yolks and the whites, adding i seasoning of pepper and salt. A teaspoon chopped parsely may also go into the bowl. Pour the eggs into the pan and let them spread evenly over it. Shake the pan very gently to prf vent sticking, and when the undei part of the omelet .starts to set, lift up its edges with a thin knife and let more liquid, upper part run down below. Serve at Once Before the middle has quite set, fold the omelet over with the knife, and carefully slide it out of the paM onto a hot dish. Serve it instantly. Commit any other faux pas you like, but never keep an omelet wailing. After all, it has not kept yot7 waiting, for an omelet is quick mag- ic. Two or three minutes does th« whole trick. -».
