Eyes, through the heart"
"Now, who did 1t and how?" Kelly
unused aloud.
THE doc thinks it was done with
a rifle," Terry offered.
"why?" Kelly swung toward the
doctor.
"As explained it to this young
man, this was an accurate shot and
you couldn't trust revolver from SO
| great distance"
Where do you get this distance
stuff" Kelly demanded
Well" the doctor began, "it's pos
sible, but not likely. that a man on
the field fired the shot. If the shot
was not fired from the field, then it
came from the stands or outside
somewhere. See what I mean? You
can't command accuracy at too great
a distance with revolver"
That's a good point" Kelly said
"Only I don't like it. If that bozo
was shot with rifle it could have
been done from most anywhere, UP
on the bluffs, from some housetop
| from the top of the stands.
"Or even from the elevated station,
Terry suggested.
Two policemen hurried in. Hello
Kelly, what are you doing here?" one
of them asked.
Just wandered over to see what the
eXcitment was all about" Kelly an
swered. And when I saw it was hot
stuff called Centre street to see if
could have the case. I'm on"
Whats up?" the second policeman
asked.
Looks like murder"
Pop Clark and Walsh, the Philadel-
phia manager. came in just as Kelly
said murder
1T can't be murder" Pop said.
"It is, just the same" Kelly replied,
unless the doc here is off his base. "
"Of course, some one would have to
murder my best player just when was
winning a camel" Walsh was as mad
as a wet hen.
"Tt's impossible!" Pop muttered.
trying to grasp the implications Of
both Kelly and Walsh.
II lost the game, didn't II" Walsh
snapped. Lost it when I had it
dead man and the verdict will have
to stand. How could my men play
ball after what happened?"
Then the Blues won?" Terry asked.
Don't be funny, young fellowI Why
wouldn't they win?"
The tramp of feet and the noise of
men bustling around in the locker room
could be heard plainly in the silence
which followed Walsh's bitter speech.
Kelly turned to Pop Clark. II want
you to hold all the men, both teams,
until I can have chance to talk to
them. You boys see to that, will
you?" he instructed the policemen,
and" he added as an afterthought,
'frisk all of them. both teams"
The men gone, he continued, "Ill
get the medical examiner up here to
verify the examination of this doctor.
Is there some place we can go, away
from this?" he asked Pop,
MY rooms" Pop suggested.
They walked down the hall and
when they were seated, Kelly said
to Terry, Take notes for me, will you,
kid? They may come in handy"
Then he turned to Walsh. What do
you know about Whitper?"
mot great deal. You probably
know more about him than I do II
you are fan. He's been with us
for three years now and was our best
man. We got him in trade from
the Detroit Bears. ss
"Is he married."
mot that I know Of"
Then that eliminates jealous
wife from the picture. Was he
well liked on the team?" was the
next question.
mo. He was too arrogant most
Of the time I don't think any of
the boys actually disliked him, but
they left him pretty much to him
self. He didn't pal with any one in
particular"
What did he do with his time?"
He was. great on the social stuff.
He had good connections and knew
people in most of the cities. He was
quite a handFwith the ladies'"
That opens up quite a line for in
vestigation. Did he ever have any
trouble over women?"
None that know about except"
Walsh stopped and glanced at Pop.
Except what?" Kelly demanded.
He means my daughter" Pop said.
