Terry Burke is the only sports writer to give them a chance. He bets $10 at Tony Murallo's restaurant in the Broadway district. In the Blues' first game Whitper, the Philadelphia pitch- er. i« killed with a bullet. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had shown her pref- erence over Whitper, are suspected at firct by Detective Kelly. It Is Burke who discovers it was Sid Stream, notorious gunman, who wrecked a taxi v/ith a bullet through • tire and injured four Boston play- ers as the Blues are to open a series. Then Dir';in, Chicago star, drops dead after hitting a homer, from poison on a photograph needle fixed in the han- dle of his bat. Pictro, Chicago's bat boy. disappears. Clark sends Doyle to Newark Lut he is soon sold to Boston. When the Blues go to St. Louis, Scottcr, the Rubes' star pitch- er, is found dead from a gas given off by a mysterious powder in the box with a jigsaw puzzle sent anony- mously. Craven, a New York news- paper man who handled the puzzle, is also gassed but lives. Each time Burke has a beat on these sensational happenings and m.nsked gunmen truss l.im up, question him and warn him he knows too much. When Inspector Dowell suggests that Doyle may have had an accomplice mail the puzzle. Terry asks "What would be the point?" I>oylo admit.s he'd rather play on tho HIups th.in any othpr team."

They are in sixlli place now and there Isn't a man on the team who is overly Important. They are all good ballplayers and if they had tho right kind of shortstop they might go places. I>hllndeiphia and DoBton are out of tho running now. Philadelphia is In seventh place and the Boston Indians, due to losing four good men, are in the cellar, and even Terry's friend Doyle can't pull them out. Tho race now Is concerned with the other six. Tho Huhcs are demoralized by what happened yes- terday. I'll bet the Chicago team Is as nervous as hell.

Nothing, of course, is farther from our minds during these lovely summer days, than cold winter weather, but it's a good idea to prepare for it. Jams and jellies are things which no house- hold can do without at breakfast time on chilly mornings and there are so many other uses for them as well. Every housewife uses a flash of jelly here and there to bripchten up and add sparkle to her dishes. The first Canadian fruit to be used in this way is strawberries and as the season is not long, the sooner you make up your bottles of jam and jelly, the better. But that docs not mean long hours of â-  hard labor and hot, tiring work over a cook stove. There is a new way of doing this job which really makes it a pleasure, not only because of the time saved but also because the net result is really something to be proud of. By mak- ing your jams and jellies with bot- tled fruit pectin, you can be sure of the result â€" a perfect, tender product which has a flavor beyond compare. Not all fruits, as you may have found out to your sorrow, have the same amount of pectin and that is the cause of the trouble when your jelly won't jell. This is just where bottled fruit pectin comes in. It takes the guess work out of jelly making and insures the results by aj>plying just the right amount of pectin for whichever fruit you may be using. Strawberries particularly, lack enough pectin to be used for jelly makinp unless pectin is aflded. The following recipe gives you just the right amount of oach ingredient to control the relationship between the sugar, pectin and acid and so get HOW TO SEWâ€" By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Can You Make an Original Embroidery Design?

Make wicker furniture look like The idea that strong men and athletes are more '•'red-blooded" than the average man may provide good reading in a dime novel but as far as scientific confirmation goes â€" well, there just isn't any. N'or is there any evidence to support the popular conception that a champion athlete has bigger lungs than the average man. With ordinary-sized lungs, however, he can handle half again as much oxygen as the average man. Research by Dr. David B. Dill, of Harvard's Fatigue Laboratory, re- ported to the American Assoc'ation of Physical Anthropologists shows that hemoglobin, the red coloring ' matter of blood used for transport- ' ing oxygen, is just as concentrated , in the arteries of the average man as it is in those of the superman. The athlete does have an advan- tage, however, in addition to more efficient lungs. When Increasng age begins to take its toll of man's physique, the man who has stayed "in trim" and has trained, is able to resist the general slowing down of the body mechanism far better than the man who has not. His lungs are still more efficient. Man is at h s physical peak, for example, between the ages of 20 and 30. As far as utilization of life-giv- ing oxygen is concerned, men in their twenties are about the same. But when they turn 30 the athlete's efficiency decreases at a much slow- er rate. new if scrubbed with salt and water (no scap), as it stiffens the basket work as well as cleaning it. f).
