their first swords out Of sharpened

As rapidly as possible, Cavalry

REVIEW OE The NEW BCQOK[

not Immediately admit the charge but then
there would have been no story. Soon after. on
a park bench at Richmond Pinkerton over
hears two women gossiping and limiting at
the feeding of poison to an old lady by her
son. He Is disguised at such malicious scandal
mongering, but then his suspicious detectives
nature asserts itself and also he remembers
his bet. In no time at all he is in the chick
of the Richmond poisoning case, which is
destined to be famous. Inspector Bull partici-
pates and two murders are uncovered, a third
is perperated almost under their noses and
they prevent fourth. OF course Evan Pinker-
ton wins his bet. This is one of Mr.. Frome's
best mystery stories

Boston: Little. Brown & Co.
AS THE Bombay Mail tears through the
! y darkness from Calcutta to Bombay with
the private car of Sir Anthony Daniels, Gov
ernor of Bengal, attached to it, all passengers
are peacefully sleeping shortly after the mid
night start. The Maharajah of Zunjore shares
the private with the official party As the
train stops at Moghal Sarai it is evident that
something has happened. Red-turbaned Indian
policemen are being ordered about by an eff
cient European in white trousers, black coat
and khaki helmet, Inspector Prike of the
British Secret Service in India. Heads appear
at all the windows of the train compartments.
On the small, Whlte-tiled noOr OF the bath room
of the private car the body of Sir Anthony
Daniels is found lying face down. Poison, a
pistol and cobra all play their parts in the
mystery. which is of course. very complicated.
The background of India adds interest.

 LONDON PEER
Baron Shell, Labor Leader, Who Has Risen from
 Humble Beginnings

LONDON, May B. An ex-plow- boy who became a peer heads the government of all of London ex- cept the small section known as the city"
 He is Baron Shell of Plumstead, the labor party's first chairman of the London county council over whose work he will preside for three years.
 A farmers helper at the age of eight, then groom, and later a pot-boy washing out beer mugs Henry Shell plodded his way up from poverty and obscurity.
 Student of Marriage
 He is bachelor but one of his biggest interests is in marriage re- form. He went to America to study family courts" and came back with proposal to establish do- mestic courts in England.
 His elevation to chairmanship of the council follows a labor victory at the polls which has busted the ersatives-known as the mu- nicipal reform party-after 27 years of supremacy in the county's gov ernment.
 Another figure in the new regime is Herbert Morrison, an ex-errand boy and son of policeman who has twice been labor member of parliament and was minister of transport from 1929 to 1881.
 Speed Slum Clearance
 The first point of attack is the slum clearance scheme of the con- servatives They figured on spend ing about $175, 100000 but the labor ties say new survey is to be made because the problem has never been sized up." Plans are to be launched for rehousing "on a faster and wider scale"
 Whatever the council plans will have to receive government ap- proval but Godfrey Shakespeare, parliamentary secretary to the min istry of health, has given indica- tion of it's support.
 London is expecting of it's coun- ty council" he said, whatever the complexion of the rulers, a bold and challenging program. The na- tional government will render every assistance"

for long. A seemingly trivial acci- dent put Hughey Critz, the regu- lar second baseman, out of action Ryan took over his job along the exhibition route but the Giants were losing steadily and Blondy looked none too good.
 Without Critz, the Giants will be seriously handicapped"
 So warned the camp followers as the opening of the season ap- preached. And so, to make a long story short, Ryan started the cham pionship race, played sensational ly and "is our second baseman, un- til further notice."
 The truth about Ryan is that he has the happy faculty of doing his best under pressure. Neither a great fielder nor & great batsman, he comes through when it counts and when the going is toughest. What more can the critics ask?

FOLTA BAGS GRIZZLY
 AT HERBERT GLACIER

The first bear reported to have been killed this season was bagged last Saturday night by George w. Folta, Asst. United States Attorney and bear hunter extraordinary It was a seven-foot grizzly, probably three years ago.
 This is MT. Folta's 83rd bear, his records show. It was a fine speci- men of the grizzly and the pelt was in splendid condition.
 The kill was made near Herbert Glacier in an alder thicket. The animal had apparently been out of winter quarters but a short time as it had no food in it's stomach. He saw no other bear sign any where in the district, which led him to believe that the animals are still in their winter dens.

-SPORT-
 SLANTS = & ALAN GOULD -

Another chapter in the extra ordinary career of John Collins Ryan was written when Manager Bill Terry of the Giants took time out after the opening game of the National league season to remark "Blondy is our second baseman un- til further notice"
 If you didn't know it was actual fact, you would be inclined to laugh off the story of the boy from Lynn, Mass, as bit of pleasant fiction another Frank Merriwell yarn.
 Baseball men considered Ryan just fair minor league shortstop, a lad with lots of college spirit but not much else, before Terry took him over. They continued to smile as he stepped nonchalantly into the great Travis Jacksons shoes last season and told the Giants they were on top to stick. That was in the spring.
 Ryan will fold when the going gets tough" said the wise guys"
 Blondy not only kept up his great work but when he was spiked one day at the Polo Grounds and forced out of action for a couple of weeks, the Giants went into their only serious slump of the 1883 campaign. It was his famous telegram to Ter ry-"They cannot beat us. En route. J. c. Ryan"-that heralded his re- turn to the game in the west, with a shinguard to protect his injured leg, and the end of the Giant nose dive.

A HARD MAN TO DOWN

Most everyone recalls how Ryan rose to emergencies during the world series, how he was feted during the winter by the folks down east and came bounding into the spring training camp full of energy and enthusiasm.
 What can you do with a guy like that?" Terry asked, as he watched Ryan romping around at Miami Beach. He comes in week ahead of time and is willing to spend his own money if necessary, to get an early start
 Then things turned dark for Blondy. His father killed himself. The youngster sped home by air plane. Recovering from this shock, Blondy returned to camp to find his job gone. Jackson was the Giants regular shortstop again, due to remarkable comeback.
 A less buoyant and courageous spirit might have been crushed by this double blow. If his heart was heavy Blondys smile kept it hid den. He buckled down to whatever Bill Terry wanted him to do. He paid tribute to Jackson.
 If had to lose my regular job. Jax is the one guy don't mind seeing in there," Blondy said the day he returned to Miami Beach. I'm not discouraged"
 HE COMES THROUGH
 Ryan couldn't last. He's back where he belongs now, on the bench"
