aon House BY PHOEBE ATWOOD TAYLOR The Story So Far: Asey Mayo, Cape Cod detective, is investigating the murder of Marina Lorne, whose hus- band’s post office mural has aroused Quanomet. She was killed by a left handed blow from her sister’s knife. Asey knows Pam Frye is innocent, as well as. Tim Carr, boarder at the Frye’s Octagon House, Marina was married to Tim, unknown to Jack Lorne, and also had played around with Roddy Strutt, who is now being “menaced,” Then the barn burns down, Tim and Asey are knocked out in the woods, and Pam’s father is found unconscious in the Lorne’s cot- tage. The problem uppermost in Asey’s mind is a°$50,000 lump of am- bergris: Pam found the doy of the murder. Pam says she hid it in the coal-bim. Aaron Frye says he moved it to the barn!

FIESTA FIGHTS: Eight bouts have been scheduled for July 4th” in Key West during the Celebra- tion. The Golden Gloves winners of Cuba will met Golden Glove winner of Miami. SPORTS! SPORTS! The cruis- er races and baseball games will attract many followers. The schedule: Key West will play U.S.S. Charleston nine on the morning of July 2 and Railey- Milan club in the afternoon. Sun- .. day, the winner of Saturday aft- ° ernoon’s game will meet the Cuban nine, and the winner of the opener will play Key West in the nightcap. But what will hap- pen if Key West wins them all? We predict..viétories for. Key West, so the locals will have to play a twin bill Saturday, a game on = asthe nightcap of the dowble- header on that day will haveity be played between other teams 43 Key West can’t play itself, and one on Monday—four games in three days should the locals, as we predict, win all their contests. The schedule will probably be re- aranged before the International series gets underway. CATES’ POSITION should be at second for the present, we be- lieve. He played third last Sun- day and did not seem as the Cates of old at that bag. With Cates on second and Baker at third we will have a much better combination. The rest of the club is very good as used by Manager Hamlin last Sunday TRYOUT: M i fans are gen- erous and are sending three Mi- ami boys to Philadelphia for a 10-day tryout. Les Mann, head of the United States Amateur base- ball congress, is in charge of the boys and those selected will make a trip to Europe, all expenses paid Lefty Schmer, Harold Graham and Terry Schrader are those who are going to make the trip to Philadelphia from Miami. Schmer is well known in foot- ball, softball and baseball circles around Miami. Graham and Schrader are just out of High ters (4-9) or Davis (4-3) vs. Tobin G-3) St. Louis at Chicago—Weilsad -6) vs. Lee (8-3). in this 2, and Ashe hav¢ make.the.grade if given’a chance. for Bareelo could be one of them and, jami High | » defeaté sure could make a good showing at the amateur congress if they ihad the ehance the above boys are getting, but the Key West ppleyers did not get those kind of ybreaks. We believe Izgy Rod- riguez, Sterling, Al. Rodriguez, ucilo.and.a few others can like the*others, he is single, and a trip likeythat could do them a world 6f good.
