As the sched- ule is played out the stars of the teams opposing the Blues are singled out for spectacular d;ath 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; (our 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 sends Larry to Newark but he is soon sold to Boston and then to Washington. At Clark's suggestion, the owners osk Terry to help them uncover the mur- der gang and he agrees. Larry is In love with Frances Clark, Pop's pretty -daughter, and Terry with Alice An- drews. Big Boy Planer, Cleveland's all around star, is poisoned and in- capacitated, but lives. Terry outlines his plans to Kelly, who has become his friend, before the crucial series between the Blues and Washington. Terry fears Larry i« marked for death. "Hf did," Pop said quittly, "and "\ vmrfX (Jo it. I won't throw my men down at this staffc- of the jranic' [le »tsmpod hi.s foot on the woodon lloor. "But," Ttriy ol>jc-cU'd.

Me, the man who foujcht for clean sport all his life!" Meant Life and Happiness "Dad," France.^ went to him and put her hands on his shoulders and looked into the puzzled old eyes, "Terry is right. The thing he is â- skinK of you is a bi« thinjf, a jrnat »»»M*i*»»»»i''»»»»r' Ihinjr and ho is asking you to do it lieeau.se you have been a clean fiTfhtor tlirouRh the years. You can eas' up this game. You can hold the men liack ao that the Feds will take the lead. Think of Larry, think of me! lie is willing to risk his life out there lierause he feels something bigger than himself. I'm risking my hap- piness for the rest of njy life when Larry goes out on the field today. I'm not doing it because it is fine or big. I'm doing it for selfish reasons. Larry means life and happiness to me. If I don't stand behind him now. if I don't send him back into the game with a smile on my lips, I'll lose him." "Frances!" "Don't say anything, Lairy. I've learned a lot in these last few min- utes. I know now what it means to 1)6 a woman." She turned again to her father. "Dad, say you v,'ill hold the team back. You want these murderers caught, don't you?" "Of course I do. But, Frances, 1 can't be a fixer. I ean't do it!" "I'll give up Larry, Dad, if you will do it. I'll promise never to see him again. I'll stay with you alwiiys." "I couldn't let you make such a promi.se," Pop said, and his eyes were shining. "I'll do it. but I hope it v;ill never be known that Pop Clark fixed a game." â- 'You still have a ehanee to v/in," Frances said hopefully. "If the Blues can take the next three games, the pennant is your.s.'' "All right." He strode out of the room. Frances watched him go and wiped the tears from her eyes. She turned to face Larry and he swept her into hi.s arms. IIo kissed her eyes and mouth and whispered. "I'll love you always," and dashed away. "Bo careful," she called after him and held back her tears. "Is everything set?" Terrv asked Kelly. "Yes. I've the best sharpshooter in the army out there to get that bird. If he misses, there arc two other good shots." "Don't let them do anything to Larry!" P'rances tried to smile through her tears, but it was too much and she broke down and wept. "I've got to keep under cover," Terry said to Kelly. He turned to Frances as Kelly hurried away. ''Where i.s Alice? Does she know I'm all right?'' "She knows you are safe. Kelly wouldn't let her come in. He was afraid they might be suspicious. She's in the box.'" "Go to her. Tell her I'm all right and will see her as soon as the game is over." Frances wiped her eyes. "I've been a priK, Terry, thinking only of my- self. 1 don't want to go out there. I don't want to see It if anything should happen- " The tears filled her eyes once more. ''You've got to go. He'll be looking for you. The slffht of you will give lilm coura.ife. and Ik" needs II ' "111 go!" She went quickly. Just as he reached the door a great shout weni up. The Feds were up and Terry felt sure the shout meant a run for I hem. Pietro eamo forward and put hid h:ind on Terry's urm. "Don't you want to see the game?" he asked. The Misting Bird They crouched down at the end of a concrete runway nc^ar the dug-out. It was the last half of tho seventh. Tlin score was still tied three to three. A.'^ they watched, a roar went up from the crowd. The loudspeakers were bloaling out the news that Doyle was ^idng In for Potts as short-stop. The riowd wns ffckled to death. In the siiort tinie Larry had been at Wash- ington li(' had won the hearts of the fans by his bani?-up baseball. While the announcement was being made Terry saw Pop Clark go out on tho pilohlnit mmnid. Ho waved tho catcher close and the pitcher Joined the rniif:il>. The f;riiiie started again and Terry saw that Pop Clark's trip out to the pitchitii; liiix hadn't been friillless. The Ulucs idtd.or was tossing them up without :i thinf; on the ball. Tho Feds were a lilllo slow in getting onto the fact am' ihen the y sturlod to connect. They boll il tho ball all over the lot.

Brain Tickling ith Electricity Suggested as a New Method of Saving Lives in Operations A new method ot saving lives on the operating table by tickling the brain with weak electricity was sug- gested at the closing session of the National .'Veademy ot Science's f.tll meeting, at Rochester N.Y. Dr. W. K. Smith, of the University of Kocheslor told the academy mem- bers that he had found in experiments with nionk'js, cats aiul dogs very de- finite arcan In the cerebral corte.x, or covering of the brain, which stimulat- ed and retarded breathing, but did not slop it. Control of Breathing These areas do not In themselves control breathing, he added, but seem to act in harmony with the area deep in the hiiiil brain which does control respiration. Slight niatiipulation of the areas in the corte.v, however, produced either a quickening or a slowing of breath- ingn according to wliich one was touched. When the nerve fibres Tun- ing according to which one was responos • disappeared, but could be produced asaln by stimulating the cut ends ot the nerves with weak electric- ity. Dr. Smith said. 735,500 Barrels Ontario Apples Production Up in Western, Down in Eastern Ontario Ontario's apple crop was estimated at 735,500 barrels in the agricultural department's fruit and vegetable crop report tbbi week. In Eastern Ontario apple production was down 23 per cent, from 1930 but In Western On- tario It was up 2S per cent. The 193C crop estlni;ile was 70,1,600 barrels. Peach crop was estimated at 623,- OOO bushels, 30 per cent, above 193G, and the plum crop at 66,900 bushels, up 38 per cent. Pears were down, ea- timated yield being 157,100 bushels as against 1!)",SOO in 193C. The report says: Present fruit prices are generally below last year, particularly for peas, apples and plums, allliough peas exported to Hritaiu have brought satisfactory re- turns. Price's for basket grapes have been uiuisually variable and following frost dnmasp, grapoa in bulk tumbled from $45 a ton to as low as |20.

Murlin, Dr. Law- rence E. Young, and Dr. William A Phillips, announced they had success fully treated some human beings and dogs suffering from diabetes v.ith the new solid preparation. Compounded With Resorcinol The compound is composed of in- sulin and hexyi-resorcinol. a common antiseptic and fever-reducing drug. The resorcinol acts as an emu'sifier to clean f.it from the linin.i^s of the stomach and intestines by mal.in.c; It more soluble in water tlinn it is nor- mally. The University of Rochester ex- porimr'ntcr.<3 hail provioualy shown that insulin can be iibsorbf=;l through the stomach and intestine,'? and then acts in the ordinary way to buin up the excess sugar In the blood v.-hich produces diabetes. Prcsenro of fats, acid conditions, and the enzyme pep- sin prevented this absorption, how- ever. The next step, nc»arin.'; completion in tests on human bciTi.2;s. was the ad- dition nf the re;;orcinol to neutralize the pepsin, produce an al'iialine condi- tion, and cnulsify thfi fat in order to clean up the diso-tive tr.'ict for en- trance of tho insulin. Trials cnaJ^e human diabetes suf- ferers enable the Rochester men to •'state with certainty," Dr. Murlin said, that "inouUn can be absorbed In sufiicient amount to produce abrupt changes in blood sugar."
