ST was taken to their hideout and
there ] found Pietro, who helped me
to get away. From the conversations
Pietro had overheard. knew I was
on the right track. They were going
to use the pigeon to give some one
a chance to kill Doyle. 1t was close
squeak for you, Larry. In another
second or two he would have blown
one Of those darts into you, concealed
the pipe and no one would have been
the wiser. The chances were one in
a million that any one would have
been looking at either Reynolds or
Doyle down there on the field. They
would have bcen watching the pigeon.
1t was good idea for distracting at
tention. I had no idea how they
would attempt the murder. Turner S
illness gives us, think, the last clue.
I feel certain Turner was given some
thing last night that would make him
i'll. A stomach analysis will probably
bear me out in this"
There can be no question about
their guilt" Althone said. They
were caught red-handed."
But what would they have gained
for all of this?" Frances asked.
Money" Pop answered sadly.
They have probably put every
cent they could scrape together on
the Blues to win at long odds. They
put it up in small bets. Sid had
a hundred at Murallo's in his own
name and he denied all knowledge
of the Odds"
And the question now is" Althone
said with a sly look at Pop Clark,
who will win the series?"
Il threw today's game" Pop re-
torted, but you'll have to fight for
the next three"
May the best team win," Kelly
said with no sense of his triteness.

Turner was sick and couldn't
play"
"Oh, I see. You don't know any,
thing about his illness, do you?"
NO"
Just then there was a commotion
ut the door. you can't go in!" a
stern voice was saying.
But I'm going in!" 1t was Alice
and she sounded as If it would take
the United States Army to keep her
out.
Terry sprang 20 the door. An
amazed policeman on guard looked at
the young couple for moment as
they fell into each others arms and
then turned away and tried to whistle
unconcernedly.
The game was over. The shouts of
the crowd came through the open
door. In few moments Gamer, Pop,
Larry, Frances and Althone, the own
er of the Washington Feds, came in.
"You got them all right?" Pop
asked dejectedly.
.Yes, thanks to Burke" Kelly
answered
And to think that one Of my own
men was mixed UP in it!" Pop Clark
sank into a chair.
Frances went to him and stroked
his snow-white hair. ITS better this
way, Dad" she said softly.
He put up a grizzled paw and patted
her hand.
"One question before they take these
men away" Terry turned to Pop.
How long has Turner been sick?"
To-day"
"What is the matter with him?"
He said he thought he had touch
Of Summer complaint"
Then it was sudden and unex-
pected. He hasn't complained be-

mo. He even said he would try to
play, but I didn't think it advisable.
He thought it was something he had
eaten, melons or something like that.
He looked pretty green
II thought so. Thanks" Terry
turned to the officers guarding the
two men. Take them away"
Tell us how you ran this thing to
earth, Burke" Althone suggested after
the Reynolds brothers were led away.
There was a chorus of agreement.
You tell them" Terry turned to
Kelly.
III tell them nothing: it was your
idea. Go on, now. God knows, you're
not shy"
There was a chuckle at that and
Terry plunged into his story.

the Boston affair. Why wasn't killed
as Stream, the gunman who wrecked
the taxi, was killed? They weren't
afraid of me, but they weren't sure.
I was visited by three men in my
apartment and left bound and gagged
with threats of further violence. Why?
They wanted the thing to look like a
real gang affair. A gang wouldn't
have gone to all that trouble. I'd
have been shot and that would have
been the end Of me-"
Alice shivered.
Reynolds and all the other news
paper men knew that had been called
to New York to tne conference of
owners. I began a campaign then to
try to draw attention to me. I wrote
articles, pretended to know more than
/, myself, actually knew, but nothing
happened. A gang would have fin
ished me of without any delay after
that. convinced Kelly that the
crimes were too imaginative to have
been done by gang. He finally be-
lieved me and was very patient with
me-"
ut was hard to keep my hands of
last night, though, with the young
lady begging me to do something %
Kelly cut in.
In Cleveland I was almost certain
that my suspicious were right. When
we were standing at the counter eat
ing hot dogs, Reynolds moved over
to the counter and was the person
who was nearest to the mustard pot
that Planer used. / was sure that
Reynolds could have dropped the
poison into the mustard when the rest
of us we're trying to figure out the
puff of smoke seen out on the dia-
mond. When Planer was taken sick
was certain, but how to prove it?
We were all near enough to have
done it."
Positive. They have had accom-
plices and we will be able to round
them up. The Maryland State police
probably have the man who guarded
Pietro. There we're at least two others.
There had TO be man in Cleveland
to throw that thing out in the field.
There was a man to shoot Whitper-
it was probably Stream. I don't know

kin, but l think we will be able to
find out. I've no idea who killed
Rawlins, but it must have been one or
the other of them or perhaps both,
although the maid said she saw only
one man.
IT was afraid Doyle would be the
next victim, but had no idea what
would be done. When the pigeon
vanished, I felt certain that it was to
be used in some way to bring about
Doyle's death, but how? Then I
was tricked into thinking that Miss
Andrews had been captured and was
in danger. I didn't stop to think.
rushed out and did exactly what they
told me to do. I played into their

cat first believed it was a gang of
crooks operating in a big way. I be-
lieved that up until the time Scooter
was killed in st. Louis. The other
murders had been smart, but that
one was a little too good"
But when did you first begin to
suspect Reynolds?" Larry asked.
II don't know just when it started.
guess it began to lurk in the back
OF my mind in st. Louis. Craven and
I were the only men who were in on
Scotter's death and yet Reynolds beat
me with a story to his Brooklyn pa
per. I didn't think about it very
much at first, but it kept coming
back to me.
when I called the press box Null
Inns answered me and he didn't know
about Scooter, yet Reynolds had a
beat on the story. As time wore on it
became more and more obvious that
the person or. persons planning these
crimes was on the inside of the base
ball game. The crimes denoted keen
understanding of the game and a
knowledge that the ordinary person
couldn't have. 1t was hard to give up
the gang idea, however.
when the jigsaw puzzle was sent
to Scooter, it was addressed to his
room number and all. Why was it
put on? The person sending the puz-
zle wanted it delivered without delay.
I didn't fall for trap that was set
for me in st. Louis: Reynolds was the
man who showed surprise when re-
joined them for drink.
Early in the season Reynolds de-
MED any knowledge of the odds being
given on the Blues, yet he was con-
Stantly at Murallo'S. 1t was his hang
out and you can't know those people
without hearing something about bets
and betting. Most men know the
odds; it's a part of the game. I didn't
because I hadn't read Joe Veeder's
column that day, but Craven told me
what they were. None of these things
were important in themselves, but as
I thought about them, they began to
take on new significance.
After Dirkins murder, it was Rey-
nolds who pointed the finger Of suspi-
cion at me- He tried to convince
Kelly I knew more about the crimes
than l should"
Kelly nodded agreement to the
statement.
In Chicago Reynolds was with us
after the game when we rode back to
the hotel. We talked over the Chi
cago situation pretty thoroughly and
all agreed that Rawlins was the most
important man left in the Chicago
outfit. That days game proved that
without Rawlins the team was not up
to snuff. 1t was rather evident that
the murderers had been thinking in
terms of players and not managers.
AS soon as Rawlins' importance was
pointed out to Reynolds. RawlinS was
killed.

from his own hand.
South won with the jack and began
to get panicky. He was afraid that
the declarer had the odd spade and
would run the suit, discarding all his
losing diamonds, unless South set up
a diamond trick for his partner before
South's other heart stopper was driven
out. Therefore he led back the deuce
of diamonds.
If South returns the king Of hearts
the declarer is blocked in his own
hand. and must lose two diamond
tricks to North's ace-queen. South
can be excused for running, however.
To play the spades before touching
trunps could only be condoned if
East held three spades. Even in that
case, it's poor play.

to be the most elaborate and beau
tiful representation of the events OF

dramatic effect, and is said to make
a deep impression upon those who

people especially should see it. The
general public Is invited. No admls-
