In the Blues' first game Whitper, Philadelphia's star pitcher, is killed with a bullet through the heart after smashing out a home run. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had shown her preference o\er 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. Dir- 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 It 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 knows 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 murder gang. The baseball games went on and for a time there were no more at- tempts at murder. As Mullins rather cleverly pointed out, there was no further need for murder at the time. The Blues were forging ahead Larry's hunch was right. He was sold to the Washington team and helped them to climli up and up. Aflcr the series of crimes which crippled all the good teams, the Washingtons kept right on the heels of tlic Blues as they mounted toward the top. Washington met the Rubes in a blistering hot four-game series over Labor Day in St. Louis. The Feds made a clean sweep of the four games and gained first place, sink- ing the Rubes into second position. At the same time the Blues crept up with n a few percentage point<; of second place by downing the Pe*ro:'. Bears three out of five The Bluv.> were playing their heads of? now an<l the work of Reynolds in the outfield was a revelation. He got four hits in the first game of the last series and two in the second. Sid Reynolds gave his brother a great spread in the Brooklyn Leader for th<' magnii!- cent hall he played with thj Blues. Sid Reynolds was justly proud of his baseball-playing brother. He took several digs at Terry about his fav- orite, Larry Doyle, but Doyle's play- ing was its own recommendation. With the sudden jump of the Feds to te:) a great cry went up from sports writers all over the country. What would happen to Washington if they kept their position at the top? Would the murders be revived and, if so, which player would be picked as the final sacrifice for the Blues to win the pennant? The Blues moved into second place, downing the Rubes in a double-header upon their farewell appearance out west. The police were on the alert again. Terry had had some theories of his own, but kept his own counsel as he watched and waited. He was kept familiar with all the activities of the New York police. Kelly had obtained a search war- rant and raided Tony Murallo's place. Murallo admitted placing some money on the Blues early in the sea- son because he believed in Pop Clark. He admitted he had increased his beta for all he could place after the sec- ond murder and said he had had a hunch. You can't hang a man for betting money and there is nothing incriminating about having a hunch. There was nothing the police could do about Murallo. The three big poolroom operators were frantic. They had taken all the money offered to them early in the season at 200 to 1. With the Blues crowding the other teams for first place, Tinkey in St. Louis, Dorfer in Chicago, and Bernstein in New York stood to lose their well-known shirts. They gladly opened their books to the police on the promise of im- munity, but there was nothing on the books that was incriminating in any way. Murallo had more money up on the Blues than any other single bettor and a number of Murallo's henchmen were betting, too. Terry's bet of ten dollars was discovered. Sid Reynolds, the reporter, had $100 on the Blues. There were other odd bets here and there. If the Blues brought home the pennant, the three operators stood to lose about .$400,- 000. "It's enough to make the bookies get together and kill off the Blues," Kelly said to Terry, when they were talking it over. "But I don't think they'd dare, because, you see, we know too much about them. But I'll tell you right now they won't be an.xious for the Blues to win and if they can unearth this fhing for us they will." "Why didn't we do sojuething like this before?" Terry asked. "There are a lot of things about police and politics and protection you don't know. You've heard of protec- tion and things like that, haven't you ? Well, that's your answer. Now they are worried about themselves and will come through. There is a code "honor amen? thi.-vcs' .-ind all that." "I've been iii;r.;;.ii^' .i i^i. aoout this mess â€" have from the very start â€"and for a time I was sure it was Murallo and his gang. I Know he has a lot of money and he has a repu- tation as a fi.xer, but I don't believe he is the prime mover in this." "Just why?" Kelly sat b:u-k and listened. "For one thing. Muiallo is essen- tially a yegg gone into business. There has been a great deal of im- agination put into these crimes. They haven't been the sort of thing you would expect from gangdom. When they want to get a man. they go out and get him. They don't sit and scheme and plot and plan. They just shoot. "How many ^,angster murders have been poison cases?'' Without wait'ng for a reply, Terry .vent on. "I don't say Murallo's skirts are clear, but if Girl First to Scale Mount Stupendous Vancouver Girl Climbs Peak Named by AlcKander Mackenzie VANCOUVER. â€" A 'tean-aged Kirl liaa scaled the towering mountain which Alexander Mackenzio, tlrst white man to cross the North Amer- ican Continent north of .Mexico, nam- ed "Stupendous." in 1793. Edith .Munday, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don .Menday, Vancouver, was the first person to mount the peak tower- ing 9,000 feet above the floor rf Iklla Coola Valley, B.C.. when she joined her parents and Henry S. Hall, .Ir., Boston secretary of the American Al- pine Club, on a mountaineering trip, recently, it was reported ne"e this week. Fightins floods, avalanches and snow squalls, the party ascended Mt. Stupendous, 250 miles north oi Van- couver, completing the final climb from their base camp in 11 hours. Imagination Held Only Difference Between People Proved in Test of Individuals who Aflade $5,000 Annually Through Depression and Tnose Making $35 Weekly. The quahty of imagination was found to be the only difference be- tween 100 men who made $5,000 a year all through the depression and this scheme was his, I don't believe he would have gone about it in the way it has been done. He would not have gone to all the trouble that was taken in Boston. A gangster would have riddled the cab with machine-gun bullets and killed them off. No gangster would have bother- ed to get Dirkin in the way he was killed. Shooting would have been easier and less risky. The same thing is true about Scotter in St. Louis and Rawlins in Chicago. They could have gotten to Planer in some way less spectacular. Whoever thought of this thing thought of it first in terms of baseball and murder second. "If a gang were after me, would they have come to my apartment the way they did and just throw a scare into me?" (To Be Continu.J.) ICO nun who didn't nial;e over $3.") a week, in a study reported to the Am- erican Association cf Applied and Professional Psychology meeting at Minneapolis. The report was made by Dr. F. W. Walls of the psychology laboratory, Boston, in a study of "100 superior men." He said that in four different intelligence and personality tests the two groups of men rated virtually equal. The imagination or "creative abil- ity" was found by the "spontaneous test." In thi.s the men answered v/hat should be dene in an unexpect- ed emergency â€" questions like â€" Oil in Denmark "Wliat should be done if you knew that extensive cil fields were about to be discovered in Denmark?" Or â€" "suppose the .Atlantic sea- ccast were going to sink 50 feet in the ne:;t year, what ought to be done?" The $r),00O-a-year men, said Dr. Wel'.s, made the better answers. There was more "richness" and more "reasonableness"' in their discussions of pc.ssibilities. They could write 200 words with convincingness, while some of the low-saiaried men could not think of anything to write. Further investigation, Dr. Wells said, indicated this ability to use the imagination did not "grow with age." The men either had it or not. "Multiple Choice" Tests A popular form of question sup- posed to show intelligence, in which a person tries to select the correct answers out of a long list which are all wrong except one, failed to spot the "superior men" at all. This test is known by psychologists as "mul- tiple choice." Dr. Wells said the test evidently shows nothing but "multiple choice'' mentality, and this part of mentality is not by itself significant of unusual ability. "Many external factors," he said, "may conspire to hold in the low- salaried group an individual whose personality traits are actually closer to the men of the high-salaried group; just as the present high salaried group doubtless shelters more than one inadequate, who would be well down in the low-salaried group but for the grrace of God." Dr. S. M. Shellow, of the Milwau- kee Psychological Service Centre, said a few industrial psychologists had misused their positions to in- form employers of labor union activ- ities. As a result, she said, labor unions have come to regard person- nel workers as "spies.''

Tradition Is Most Oriental oi All Far East- em Islands Both white elephants and Siamese cats are virtually extinct in Siam, but the country is the most Oriental of all Far Eastern islands. The temples of Siam are as muni- ficently dazzling as any dream of the Orient could be. Outside they tower impressively in mulii-colored grand- eur and uiside there is every storied tribute to Buddha that the devout and imaginative Siamese can devise. In Siam one finds Buddhism in its most flourishing present form, and the Tem- ple of the Emerald Buddha in Bang kok â€" with its eight vividly polychro- matic towers, symbolizing the Eight- Fold Path of the Gautama â€" is the most striking shrine of this leligion extant with the possible exception of the Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon. In atmosphere, too, Siam conforms to occidental notions of what the East should be. There is uu altitude ot lotus-eating languor, and any show of zeal in work that may be observed is by Chinese immigrants. The Siamese viewpoint, expressed in one old prov- erb, is that "in the water there is tisn and in the ground there is rice ' â€" which with the sparse population means that not much industry and no worry are required for their simple wants. So they take life easily â€" and smilingly. Demand Ideals With Husbands British Actresses Apparently Like Their iMen Tall Mere males at a London literary dinner squirmed while actresses out- lined their conception of the "ideal man." Said Cathleen Nesbitt: "He must be of a goodly stature â€" like Gary Cooper; his qualities must include a comely countenance, radiant and modest charm, the humanity of the late John Galsworthy, and all these must be larded with the nice ripe humor of George Robey.'' Jeanne de Casalis declared: "I ilo not believe women go in for little tilings like ideals. We are realisis and like what is nice and handy, ami we like to concentrate en what is get-at-able. The really nice women like a man who is either a Utile b.t of a bounder or a weak, pathet.c little creature. They hke someone whom ihey can either reform or someone whom they can hold up." Edith Day added: ".My ideal man is any man with whom at the m<,'ni- cnt I happen to be in love." And Marie Burke said: "My ideal m:;n must be six feet tali, and I do not care what are the o;)lors of his eyes or hair. He must not be fat, ,jut must sing like Tauber.' William Moliison rounded off the debate with: "No decent woman would live with a man such as has been described by the speakers, for three weeks. She would shoot him. My conception of the ideal man is the man who makes the honeymoon last the longest number of y'-ars."
