will visit Waynesboro. 154 miles dis
tant, at least once, and two or three
times more after they see us play"
says Wyche. And it Is always max
ing overnight jumps of 30. to 100
miles without thinking of them.
And the boys show profit on the
season. Wyche carries an average
of II players because small squads
are easier to handle and cut down
on the overhead. Three of the II
are pitchers, and at least two can
play every position and still find
time to help check on the box Office.
In season. which extends from
early spring until late autumn,
they'll play more than 100 games
and earn between 5000 and $500
each. Whche's list of opponents re-
sembles a post Office guide. Action
is concentrated in Virginia, with
few scattered games in Maryland
and West Virginia. Connie accepts
guarantees only for his boys ap-
pearances-no percentage of the
gate receipts. And guarantees must
be SlZable.
Adds Coakleys to Roster.
Although the roster changes more
often than the weather, Wyche al
ways has a representative group of
semi-pros under contract. Right
now he has Lefty Mcintyre, Lanny
Birch and Frank beavers for
mound staff, with Jimmy Schwab
and Al Stokes sharing the catching.
Now he has signed Francis and
George Coakley, who have just re-
turned from college. He has a bud
ding star in his 15-year-old boy,
Richard Wyche. a first baseman,
who made his debut this season and
has played in three games. Connie
says he'll be big-leaguer sure.
It's a good. strong roster and the
boys rank high with their out-of-
town rivals, but they can't make an
impression in the Industrial League.
In Bill Flester's circuit they're just
another ball club-and Connie can't
understand why.

Connie Wyche, the bespectacled
gent who does the 7-Up teams mas
ter-minding, sorrowfully admits he
can't figure why the club finished
dismal fourth in the first half of
the Industrial League race and yet
won II of 81 road games against
outstanding semi-pro competition.
1t simply doesn't add up, and Con-
ME knows 1t, but he doesn't under
stand why, nor how it can be cor
rected.
1T beats me how we go like
blazes away from home" he said
with a puzzled expression, land get
kicked around like a stepchild in
the league. On an average I'd say
the teams we play on the road are
a little stronger than the league
teams, but we've tried everything
and still can't make any Roadway
In the league. And it's been that
way ever since we've been in the
circuit"
Has Made Great Record.
Comics had team in the field
for the past decade, and has yet to
win the city championship, but in
that time his boys have won more
than 500 games and established a
reputation as one of the strongest
seni-pro clubs in the South Allan
tic sector.
SevenUp is going to Lynchburg
this week end for a single game Sat-
urday and twin bill Sunday. This is
the customary program. The team
averages five games a week, count
ing two league appearances, and is
the most widely travelled team in
the city's history. Signing 7-Up
contract is akin to taking a Cooks
tour.
Last year the club travelled 6,786
miles and Connie confidently ex-
poets to exceed that record by at
least 1000 miles this season. The
squad already has visited Newport
News, Va, 204 miles beyond the
city boundary, four times this year
and has two more games there. 1t

veloped." He advised "a reversion
to the arboreal habits of our an
cestors" to correct malformations
in childrens chests. In active tuber-
culosis, rest is important, so tree
climbing is taboo, but for children
who have no signs or symptoms of
tuberculosis, other than a poorly
developed chest, the old advice is
still good.
Other exercises are climbing lad
ders with the back toward the lad
der; the ladder used is that found
in orthopedic c. fully equipped GYM
nasiums. Swil inning is excellent.
Any work with horizontal bars, or
rings, or other equipment, which
makes the exerciser hang by the
hands, is the kind desired.
These days gymnasium teach
ers are busy teaching children
rhythm which does nothing to de-
velop the chest or expand the lungs,
while the ropes, rings, horizontal
ladders and bars have all been tied
up or put away.

Please" 1 begged, please won't
you begin at the beginning. I'm all
muddled."
"All right, GIRL" Mac consented,
smilingly. Here's the story, and it
goes back a long way. It goes back
to the birth of the murderer. Hor-
ace was an only child. His parents
were strong, stubborn individuals;
he was a weakling. He was reared
by nurses; he was educated by tu-
tors. At eighteen he waged a losing
battle to enter medical school. He
lost as you know. Later his mother
built a laboratory for him. It was
not enough.
when he was twenty-one his
mother married him to mate Of
her choosing. It was an unfortu-
nate marriage, for his wife was as
weak as himself. The years passed.
Horace, ST., died. And he left his
millions to his widow-in trust for
his son! Thereby he sowed the
seeds of murder" Mac paused a
moment, then continued:
"True, Mrs. Witherspoon was
generous according to her lights.
She made Horace a suitable allow

lating not only his life but the lives
Of his children"

swell, Elsie, a man can store up
steam for just so long. Horace got
tired waiting for his money. He
began to poison his mother. Then,
as I have already mentioned, cir
cumstanceS arose that required
desperate measures. Horace was in
the habit of making periodic trips
to New York. On one Of these trips
he met Della Craig. Now Della in
sists that she didn't know Horace
was in love with her, but I'm in
clined to think she's lying. A wom-
an usually can tell when a man is
in love with her. At any rate, she
was sure enough of his affections
to approach him for backing for
her play.
Horace attempted to borrow the
money from his mother. His son,
Richard, meantime, was playing
HIS game. The old lady refused to
grant either request. And thus she
signed her death warrant! The oc-
casion of the house party afforded
a perfect opportunity for the
crime"

"But why" questioned, did he
hire you if he were guilty?"
Because, Elsie, he was clever.
He was positive I'd never unearth
enough evidence to convict him. If
he had let well enough alone, he
would be alive today. But the clev-
crest killers overdo things. They
get to stewing and fussing and to
thinking that maybe they have
overlooked something. H or a e
thought that if ne could fix it to
look as if he, too, were a victim, he
