So you haven't got around to see
a fastball game yet this season?
Well, brother, you'd better hurry
because the last game of the regu-
ular season will be played Friday
night. There's been a mighty fine
brand of play throughout the sea-
son with interest running high.
Play -offs for the cup will be held
during the week starting August

But as of now the Vets record is
still untarnished in league play.
They lost holly contested 10

refuse to make any predictions
but that might be the time for a
slight chance in the picture. They
will face the fast Wilson aggrega-
ton, which team has developed a
definite habit of winning lately.
Toughest stumbling block for the
powerful Vets Will be their Mon
day engagement, also in the Sec

Eagles. AS the old saying goes:
Anything can happen in base
ball." And it usually does and
you are missing a lot of excite

THE CORPSE In THE CLOSET
Continued from preceding page

Gus. All the evidence points to the
fact that Prentiss was killed while
Mrs. Prentiss, DR.. Barker and Miss
Spender were at the party. In a
way, the evidence is true. But
there's something else that makes
very big difference.
He smiled amiably at Sue. Does
the detective story writer get the
point of the bump? A bump comes
from a blow. So Prentiss got a
blow on the head some time before
he was dead - long enough time
for the bump to form. In other
words, Prentiss came here earlier
before you left for the party. One
of you let him in and, either in a
heated quarrel or with premedita-
ton, hit him on the head with the
statue. The blow was strong enough
to knock him unconscious and
keep him unconscious for a con-
siderable time - but not strong
enough to kill him. Okay; one of
you picked up Prentiss' unconsci-
Gus body and hid it in the closet
for future reference"
HE PAUSED. Thanks to Lieut..
Brown, the future reference fitted
perfectly. Brown had called Mrs.
Prentiss at quarter of five. He was
to meet her at the party, leave
early and then pick her up here
at eight. The Lieutenant was an
exemplary scapegoat.
"Now you see how necessary
and how almost clever the note
was. Prentiss was not dead then,
but he had to be dead, and in such
a way that only Brown could have
done it. Okay. One of you slipped
the note in Miss Spender's bag.
And the point of the note? To be
sure that an impartial witness
would be present at the right mo-
ment. That Miss Spender chose a
professional detective for her ser
viceable male was just bad break
for the murderer"
Timothy was watching Dalton
now. Get it? The murderer left
the party just before Miss Spender
and her witness. He arrived here,
where he knew Prentiss was lying
unconscious where he'd left him
in the closet"
The quiet gaze moved to DR..
Barker. "At first l thought Mrs.
Prentiss might have been your ac-
complice. But | see she wasn't.
After Sue let you in, you we're alone
downstairs while the girls were
upstairs dressing for the party,
where they could hear nothing.
That's when Prentiss let him
self in and you knocked him out.
l guess you had no distinct plan
then, but, being doctor, you could
gauge pretty certainly that the
blow had been hard enough to keep
him unconscious for at least two
hours, which was all you needed.
Evening star., 1947-02-16

After the party, you drove Mrs.
Prentiss home. You let her dis
cover the so-called corpse. Natu-
rally she called you, doctor, to
examine Prentiss while she phoned
the police. The statue was nearby.
While she was on the phone, it
was the easiest thing in the world
to give Prentiss one quick, lethal
blow while you we're supposedly
examining him in the closet"
DR. BARKER's face was gaunt but
he did not speak.
1T was split-second timing, but
you had every chance of success"
said Timothy. There was no dam
ger of Miss Spender and me getting
here ahead of you; you were at the
cocktail party too, and could al
ways leave with Celia in a hurry
if you saw us going. AS it was, we
arrived here thirty seconds after
you, exactly the time you intended.
We saw Prentiss was dead and
must have died within the last
haif-hour; yet we knew you
couldn't possibly have had time to
kill him. We were wrong; you did
have time"
Barker's forehead was sweating.
TOO bad about the bump" said
Timothy. "If you'd aimed your
second blow accurately, you might
have obliterated all traces" He
paused. TOO bad about the note
too. That was frankly careless. You
should have done a better job of
tearing the paper. That OPM was
what gave me the clue. | realized
it was part of the letterhead of a
prescription pad. 1t was the end
of 80 PM, or whenever you fin
ished your Office hours
He turned to Dalton. THE mo-
tive won't be difficult. He wanted
to marry Mrs. Prentiss-probably,
if l may be indelicate, for her
money. He was making progress -
and then Lieut.. Brown showed up.
This was wonderful opportunity
to get rid of the husband and the
rival suitor in one fell swoop."
DR. BARKER had been jolted off
his guard. His collapse was not
long in coming. After Dalton had
taken him away, Timothy studied
Celia and Lieut.. Brown almost
paternally. "You had to lose one
of your suitors, Mrs. Prentiss.
hope you prefer the one left"
Celia smiled family and slipped
her hand into the Lieutenant's.
MY sister Freda," murmured
Timothy pensively, "was hoping
you'd marry me-" He grinned.
"I'H try to be brave. Maybe in
time my broken heart may heal"
He smiled at Sue. Maybe you'll
help me heal il" he said. Dinner
tomorrow? Or if it's not too
precipitous - tonight" The End
