They become involved in 8 series of daring exploits and clever deductions, with Miss Colbert In her most scatterbrained and delightful strain and Stewart turning in one of his most engaging comedy per- formances as the much-tried and hard-tested amater Sleuth to whom the oetess, with her unaccountable vagaries and unpredictable whims, is an even greater. feminine mystery than the murder both are trying to solve.
 The tale sweeps with unremitting energy from elaborate night club scenes to an apple orchard, from trains to yachts, from theater to hot-dog stand, from auto camp to railroad trestle, motorboatS and even Sing Sing Prison, with hair breadth escapes and spine tickling murders to garnish the ever-de- lightful bill of dramatic fare.

BY RAY FLAHERTY,
Coach, Washington Redskins.


A letter received from Hal Brad
ley, the end we traded to the Chi
cago Cardinals recently, may be the
means by which we may escape a
lot of embarrassment this after
noon.
A lot of people seem to think thai
because the Pirates are the cellar
place team of the East and haven't
won a game in more than a year
that they ought to prove duck soup
for us today.
Well, Bradley joined the Cardi-
mails just before they met the
Pirates and the notes he sent me on
them are far from encouraging. He
says. in effect, that they are a
much-im improved team over last year.
Pirates Have Better Backs.
They may not have Whizzer
White, but that they have more
good backs than surrounded Whizzer
last year Fellows like Sam Francis,
the Bears old star; Dick Nardi.
formerly of the Lions, and Carl
Littlefield, who showed up we'll at
Cleveland last year. Not to men
ton couple of promising rockies
in Ernie Wheeler and Hugh Nc
Cullough.
AS matter of fact, if you exam
inc the scores of the Pirates games
this year you won't find them badly
beaten in except in one. The Bears
knocked them off. $40. but they
outplayed the Giants and led them,
TO, at the start of the fourth quar-
ter, before losing, AT; dropped only
a 1877 decision to Brooklyn and a
100 game to the Cardinals. There's
no room for talk of setup there.
Feels Skins Should Win.
But If the Redskins play as they
did last Sunday think we'll win.
Our youngsters seem to be catching
on fast, especially the linemen, and
you can watch for our new backs
to go from now on There's no rea-
son why We shouldn't go to Green
Bay undefeated, but of course you
never can tell whatll happen in
football, especially pro football.
AS for the remaining league
games, I'm picking:
The Giants to repeat their earlier
win over the Eagles in the return
game at New York.
The Chicago Cardinals to extend,
but not beat, the Chicago Bears.
The Detroit Lions to whip the
Cleveland Rams in probably the
easiest game of the day.
