over there in the corner making a phone call. I'll
go tell him that. Then I won't hate him if
you put the lot of the plot.
Speaker 2 (01:08):

Now hello hello? Oh I can hear you now? Okay,

him right after the cave today. And now back to
our story and in a few moments, we'll meet Dick
Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to those who make him
(01:46):
an enemy, friend to those who have no friend.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Twenty of Paul players were shot with the rifle a
little while ago out the ball park. Who could have
killed him? You don't know, I don't know who does know?
And you guys got any ideas? How about you? Hawire First,
I'm Lefty Jones suspected. I'm captain of the team.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
All I can tell you is if that was a
cleaner fall player in the business of Mike or a
cleaner living guy.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Either everybody liked him, that right, make oh fine?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
When he was killed, so somebody didn't like him. Now
we know it wasn't any of you guys from the
angle of the poet. We know the shot came from
the center field stands, but from who on the stands?
There were thousands of people out there.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Conspective, Mike was my friend.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Whoever did kill Mike better hope that you'll find him
before I do, because if you have pleasure to bounce
a bat off his head, we don't know anything. You
told my assistant an hour ago that you remember Mike
calling Boston Blankett before the game.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yes, but Blackie boys in the home, and I don't
know what he wanted to talk to him about. Man,
I got a man out looking for Blanky. Let's get
out of facts.

Yo, Dunald it's you've got any reason to believe Mike
Allen was mixed up with anything crooked.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Player in the league. He was, well, I alright, you

out in the grounds.

Oh yeah, okay, you guys sit around on those benches
over down, relax, take it, take it easy, wow, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So Mike Allen made a phone call to you before
the game. Huh what did he want? I don't know.
I wasn't came before the game. Where were you out?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You're gonna be a whole lot more rout before I

Speaker 2 (04:49):

kill Allan. I'll prove you had the opportunity.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Paraday, dear friend, Paraday, in reply to your most recent
and most ridiculous suspicions, may I say that A.

ball game and see I am going to help you

Speaker 2 (06:45):

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Okay, Now I'll run home now, but you'll need an
awfully big score book to keep the error as.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You make before you finally strike out on this case.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
All right, Blackie, Now that I've rip my only pair
of nylons climbing over a fence to get in here,
tell me what we're doing in a ballpark at ten
o'clock in.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The evening where I'm going to see a ball game
coming at this time? It's a night game with that
any lights? Sure o? The fire flies are playing the Mosquitoes.
Oh Blackie, please please you or please watch you?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Tell me what we're doing here? He told me you
tell me why we were here when we do here?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Alright, we're here now?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Why I also told you that I didn't want you
to come. Why don't you remember that I'm married my memories.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
A convenient time.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
So that's why I didn't come. We hold your flashlight?
I would, and I'm glad I came. I don't trust
you with a flashlight. You'd probably trip over something and
break your neck.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh me, I never tripped over anything in my pol
What were you saying? Oh? Who ever left up pictures
box in the middle of a baseball that was very
very to care or something?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Come on back, you tell me what we're doing here.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Alright, we're on the way to second base.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's it right over there.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
That's very helpful, Thank you very much. And now tell
me what's second base.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
It's what Mike Allen was sliding into when the shot
caught him in the top of the.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Head, telling we know that, why come off, ses, I.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Wanna try something here. We are marry now.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
As I remember the game this afternoon, Mike Allen got
up to the plate, whigking his bat, moving around. He
wasn't much of a target until after he hit the
ball and slid into second base. Here then for a
moment he was still go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That was the moment the.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Murderer was waiting for. He fired the shot that killed
Mike Faraday. Figured at the angle of the bull was
indicated that the gun was fired from the grand stand.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I wanna see if he's right. Okay, but what do
I do all this time? Well, you're the second basement.
Oh goody, you stand right there. That's right now.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I'm gonna be Mike sliding in. I'll start the slide
from about year and here I come.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You're owing your suit.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Oh, not to mention what I did to my stomach.
In paradase theory, uh, very much. There are two kinds
of slides. One is the fallaway, where the runner comes
into the base feet first time.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
The other is where he comes sliding in on the stomach. It.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah, And here's the big difference in the fall away
the top of the slider's heads out towards the stands.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
In the stomach slide, the top of heads, it's taward.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, let's see, it's toward the scoreboard. Mary Faraday figured
that Allan used the fallaway slide. That's natural.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Most ball players do.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
What didn't Alan?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
No, he came in on a stomach. I saw the
game today. Faraday figured the shot came from the stands. Actually,
it came from behind the scoreboard. Let's take a look
at that. Here are the steps leading into the back
of his cardboard. Mary, that's what we wanna see.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Come on, listen to calling.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
We walked up here off, then just wait till I
get my breath find beauty.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You are, I take your own breath away?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Fine friend, you are help me out to a ball field,
and don't even.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Throw me a ball. Catch You've got enough trouble, gotch
in your own breath? Good? Uh?
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Oh, well it's open now you can't show off pick
the loss. Okay, at least I get some conversation from that.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Mm it shouldn't be open. Now, come on, in silence,
have that.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Flashlight right here it is and here I am the way.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I figure it's marry.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
The murderer hit up here until he could get a
good shot at my calendar. When ill on slid he
shot it.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But wasn't there a boy up here?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Uh? Boy who puts the balls and strikes and outs
and everything?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I should have been.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yes, Yes, there was a boy here right there. He
is over there in the corner. The murderer probably knocked
him out, but he hit.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Too hard the blocky he did. I wonder the door
wasn't locked. No, sign of a little murderer might have been,
let's get out of here.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Saturday ever finds you here with that body, you'll never.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Let you out of Jahil. What would Faraday be doing here?
What would be doing up here? I'd be following you, Blackie.
You could get a blood? How to do that? If
you do it faster and look better than you do? Ah?
I thought I told you to stay away from here, blankee. Yes,
I suppose you did.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
But you didn't tell miss Wesley to stay when I
couldn't let her come out here on escorted?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Could I inspect you? Do you know that at first
he wanted to let me come out here alone a.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Cat es when as they don't, I have enough trouble
with Blankie, aren't you assurance?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
But oh sure, I'm sure, and I'm al so sure
that you want something to do with the murder of
Mike Allan, And I'll approve to you, Blankie.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You're not so smart and I am not so dumb.
Now all back to Washington, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
After Mike Allen, baseball star, is mysteriously shot while sliding
into second base, it has learned from Lefty Jones, another ballplayer,
and his wife that.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Mike had the cleanest record of any man in the
major leagues.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Boston, Blackie, Inspector Faraday's perennial suspect, has figured out that
the shot that killed Alan came from behind the baseball scoreboard.
He's investigating the scoreboard when Paraday surprises him to complicate matters.
The scoreboard boy has been found murdered. As we return
to our story is a few minutes later, Blackie, Mary Wesley,
(12:39):
and Paraday are still up behind the score.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
That's all I've got to tell you, Pal. You were
following me, so you know I didn't kill this boy.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Here.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All I've done so far is show you where the
shot killed Alan came from. Blackie, Why is it you
always show me something you think.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I don't know why, Inspector, because I always have one
less suspect to look for.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You waste too much time.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
On me, Lankie.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'd like to go home. Please? What are you asking
him for? I'm the one who the science. Where you're
gonna go?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Well, where am I going to go?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Inspect Oh take a home, lay and believe me. If
you don't stay out of this case from here and
it'll be bad news for you.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Believe me, inspector. If I do stay out of this case,
that'll be good news for the murderer. It don't look
like much of a hotel to Melanie. You gotta take
what you can get nowadays, should he? Besides, the baseball
players travel alive, and they used to once overlight the accommodations.
(13:40):
Let's go in push the revolving dogs. Shat he. I
wanna know what it's like to be a parasite.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Okay, boss, don't look like much of a lobby either.
Nobody wrong except the porter a bye nothing yeah, whereas everybody,
how do I find out a certain room member?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well?
Speaker 1 (14:04):

Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's Italian for thanks. You can't out of language me, lady.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
She tell me to try, wasn't it Marry You can.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Thank you quite at all. Oh this is ernest. The
portom is the fringe. I think you wanna talk to me.
What are you talking about, Aniston mster fringe.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I was at the ball game today, got there early
on account of you gotta get there early to get
seats in the bleachers, you know, And I saw you
sneaking in the back.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Of the scoreboard. I don't know what you're talking about.
I think you do.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
In an hour, I'll be in a room that's him
undered wears down on twenty Falls Street. It might be
a good idea for you to come up and discuss
this matter, don't you think.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Good Bye, darling, Would you mind telling me what was
the big idea of the menstrual routine?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Well, first of all, nobody seems to have a reason
for killing Mike Allon. But the batting order of yesterday's
ball game was switched at the last minute, with Mike
batting and Lefty Jones spot.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Now suppose somebody didn't know it was switched, and.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
You only that Jones usually batted in the fourth slot.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Well, then that's somebody wouldn't know much about baseball. All
line ups are subject to change without notice.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
And the hotel clerk I just talked to doesn't know
baseball at all. It was too far from a scoreboard
to see a player's face. And maybe he intended to
kill Jones, who usually batted Forth.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yes, but why would he want to kill Jones?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I heard the talk between him and missus Jones. Why
that gal has him doing handsprings? Maybe he figured with
Jones out of their way, he could get her to
marry him. If I'm right, he'll come up to meet
me and I'll put the heat on him and turn
him over to paraday on Ice.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Thanks for letting me use your room, Shorty. When you
hear a knock on the.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Door, it'll be the room click French, so scram out
the fire escape right.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Well, suppose it's now knock on the door, boys, then.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
French is probably innocent. Only I wouldn't want to think
that there is Shorty jurm boss.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't wanna show you, Okay, boys, I'll see jersal Man.
Is that you boss?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Is that me?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Boss?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's me Faradaya Blankie. What are you doing here? I
could ask you that question with better reason.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Believe me, I get it, Blankie. Now you're adding blackmail
to your other activities. You called French and gave him
some story about seeing him go behind the scoreboard yesterday. Huh,
And he called you and told you that. Of course,
Well he said the hotel porter called him. Now what's
that all about? That was me playing hotel porter Friday.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I think I've got something, yeah, and I've got guilt,
which is nothing.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Listen, Uh, I think French shot my calendar, yah, thinking
he was killing Lefty Jones, and that he still thinks.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
The porter did see him at the ballpark.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Look, he could never stop me from telling what I knew.
If I were the porter and did seem good, he so,
so he told the story to you, knowing if he
did no matter what I said from there on and
he'd be in the clear.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Saturday. I hate to ask for favors, but well this
time I'm gonna. Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
This time, you've gotta ask for favors. I got a
gun in my pocket I'll use in a minute if
you get tough.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Here's your gun. I took that out of your pocket
right after you came in here. What. Yeah, take it
as heavy.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I listened to me pardying, give me one more chance
to prove the French is the man we want. One
chance in one hour.

twenty fourth Street, there was nobody there.

(23:29):
I've seen you coming down the street, so I know
it's you this time.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Huh, all right, turn on the light. We don't need
no light balls. It's busted in the first place. Besides,
I can feel money. I don't have to see the
color of it.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
You can feel money. Maybe you can feel this too.
I wouldn't shoot no more if I was you, mister French.
Somebody's like to get hurt, all right, somebody in name you?
Speaker 2 (24:00):

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Millick?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Right here? Only I moved around the line. The rest
of this time. I'm getting out of here. That's gonna
be a little tough. The dog is kind of locked
to be. What do you want? What is it? One thing?
I don't wanna be a poler no more, and a
little dog fixed that.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I wanna get paid the spine on you and missus jibones,
So he used to watch his Sure, and I seen
you at the ballpark too. Like I said, chances are
the scoreboard boy saw you too, so you had to
kill him.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's worth a thousand bucks in the balls. Alright, you
know what you're talking about. Get me here, get your money. Okay, Yeah,
come there you go. I forgot to see I was coming,
but I was ducking too. You try and duck this
(24:58):
line eight, you've had enough. I wonder what it was
about that guy's chin that attracted my fist.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Well, man, it's a wonderful afternoon. Where would you like
to go? Where would you like to take me football game?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Who's been murder?
Speaker 7 (25:21):
I mean that who's playing today?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Oh, let's go, But uh, I wish you'd tell me
first what poor Mike Ellen might have told you about
the day he was killed.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, i'd ask him for an autograph baseball for you
and nephew married. Oh, he probably just wanted to tell
me that he had it. You know, what's a curious thing.
Mary French had never been to a baseball game until
the day he went and killed Allan and the scoreboard boy.
What's curious about that that the first time he sees
the national pastime.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It's his last time
Let's car boss, what's up. I'm shifting the batting order
for today's game. I'm going to have rules lead off,
Duncan batting second, and I'm moving you up to third.
Mike Gallon will bet fourth.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
In your roads.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Fine, all right with me, boy, just like me, only
one in the line up where I get a chance
to put a couple.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I'm happy. Right left, your.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Team can right out the new batting order and give
it to the MS shore boss and tell Mike that
is batting forth by the way way where is he?
He's around for beetic practice and he's still around. He's
over there in the corner making a phone call. I'll
go tell him that. Then I won't hate him if
you put the lot of the plot.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay, but I got an idea he knows that. How's he?
I'm Joe. Hello, Hello, Mike's bad connection. I think it's okay?
Now hello hello? Oh I can hear you now? Okay,
it's Blackie home? Oh he's not.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
This is Shorty. Who's this? This is Mike Allan? Look now,
poster Blackie has got to talk to him. I'll call
him right after the cave today. And now back to
our story and in a few moments, we'll meet Dick
Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to those who make him
(01:46):
an enemy, friend to those who have no friend.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Continuing, we're the last half of the first innings. Coast
for yet no scorn and to out and russ a second.
Mike Allen is up here. We have to like I
just want to hear him. I can and I'm like
you taking three games and then.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
At least tell him the second points the battle, know
how he's meeting then swinging if.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm lying dry over the ending up as getting first second?
Where wires the.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Ball Bohn's and he's safe?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Where is Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Alan isn't
getting him. He may have pressed his and we go
see a glass please thank you? Ohks, Mike Allen didn't
press his angle. He's bleeding from a home on the.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Top of his head.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Here it looks like he's been shot and it looks
as if he's dead. O's okayn, I have bod where
all him?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I have a y tho stressing a rockets.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Where As the manager which one here is the manager
of this club? Okay?
Speaker 6 (03:08):
You?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Twenty of Paul players were shot with the rifle a
little while ago out the ball park. Who could have
killed him? You don't know, I don't know who does know?
And you guys got any ideas? How about you? Hawire First,
I'm Lefty Jones suspected. I'm captain of the team.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
All I can tell you is if that was a
cleaner fall player in the business of Mike or a
cleaner living guy.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Either everybody liked him, that right, make oh fine?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
When he was killed, so somebody didn't like him. Now
we know it wasn't any of you guys from the
angle of the poet. We know the shot came from
the center field stands, but from who on the stands?
There were thousands of people out there.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Conspective, Mike was my friend.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Whoever did kill Mike better hope that you'll find him
before I do, because if you have pleasure to bounce
a bat off his head, we don't know anything. You
told my assistant an hour ago that you remember Mike
calling Boston Blankett before the game.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yes, but Blackie boys in the home, and I don't
know what he wanted to talk to him about. Man,
I got a man out looking for Blanky. Let's get
out of facts.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yo, Dunald it's you've got any reason to believe Mike
Allen was mixed up with anything crooked.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Mike, not himnifty told was the cleanest ball.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Player in the league. He was, well, I alright, you
getting key, come on in tide here he is. It's
like Sir Washington, Blackie. I found them stooping a round
out in the grounds.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh yeah, okay, you guys sit around on those benches
over down, relax, take it, take it easy, wow, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So Mike Allen made a phone call to you before
the game. Huh what did he want? I don't know.
I wasn't came before the game. Where were you out?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You're gonna be a whole lot more rout before I
get through with him. Where were you when Alan were shot?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Still in the same place by day out? Not where?
No place to take it, just out rollins, grab his arms, pas,
maybe we would get somewhere. Uh just a minute, Rowlins.
You haven't got his arm? Right it triumph better grip?
Oh good and tight? Okay, I'll do it. What now

(05:30):

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Our penalty you. I'll find a reason for you to
kill Allan. I'll prove you had the opportunity.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Paraday, dear friend, Paraday, in reply to your most recent
and most ridiculous suspicions, may I say that A.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I did not kill Mike Allan. B.
Speaker 5 (05:46):

ball game and see I am going to help you

Oh? Thanks you all right? I heard it with a
radio for a ballplayer?
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Was killing?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Did you think? Lady? Who are you? You inspected? Parody
of the police, And if you stay here one more minute,
you'll make you a suspect.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Now, this is my wife inspector regarding it was Mike
who was.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh no, well Michael, hear that Mike dead?
Speaker 8 (06:26):

Now I have a request to make there I go.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, I can always lay my hands, honey, wan, I

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Only keep away from this ball park, hear, y, keep away?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Okay, Now I'll run home now, but you'll need an
awfully big score book to keep the error as.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You make before you finally strike out on this case.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
All right, Blackie, Now that I've rip my only pair
of nylons climbing over a fence to get in here,
tell me what we're doing in a ballpark at ten
o'clock in.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The evening where I'm going to see a ball game
coming at this time? It's a night game with that
any lights? Sure o? The fire flies are playing the Mosquitoes.
Oh Blackie, please please you or please watch you?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Tell me what we're doing here? He told me you
tell me why we were here when we do here?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Alright, we're here now?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Why I also told you that I didn't want you
to come. Why don't you remember that I'm married my memories.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
A convenient time.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
So that's why I didn't come. We hold your flashlight?
I would, and I'm glad I came. I don't trust
you with a flashlight. You'd probably trip over something and
break your neck.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh me, I never tripped over anything in my pol
What were you saying? Oh? Who ever left up pictures
box in the middle of a baseball that was very
very to care or something?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Come on back, you tell me what we're doing here.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Alright, we're on the way to second base.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's it right over there.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
That's very helpful, Thank you very much. And now tell
me what's second base.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
It's what Mike Allen was sliding into when the shot
caught him in the top of the.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Head, telling we know that, why come off, ses, I.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Wanna try something here. We are marry now.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
As I remember the game this afternoon, Mike Allen got
up to the plate, whigking his bat, moving around. He
wasn't much of a target until after he hit the
ball and slid into second base. Here then for a
moment he was still go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That was the moment the.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Murderer was waiting for. He fired the shot that killed
Mike Faraday. Figured at the angle of the bull was
indicated that the gun was fired from the grand stand.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I wanna see if he's right. Okay, but what do
I do all this time? Well, you're the second basement.
Oh goody, you stand right there. That's right now.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I'm gonna be Mike sliding in. I'll start the slide
from about year and here I come.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You're owing your suit.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Oh, not to mention what I did to my stomach.
In paradase theory, uh, very much. There are two kinds
of slides. One is the fallaway, where the runner comes
into the base feet first time.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
The other is where he comes sliding in on the stomach. It.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah, And here's the big difference in the fall away
the top of the slider's heads out towards the stands.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
In the stomach slide, the top of heads, it's taward.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, let's see, it's toward the scoreboard. Mary Faraday figured
that Allan used the fallaway slide. That's natural.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Most ball players do.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
What didn't Alan?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
No, he came in on a stomach. I saw the
game today. Faraday figured the shot came from the stands. Actually,
it came from behind the scoreboard. Let's take a look
at that. Here are the steps leading into the back
of his cardboard. Mary, that's what we wanna see.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Come on, listen to calling.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
We walked up here off, then just wait till I
get my breath find beauty.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You are, I take your own breath away?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Fine friend, you are help me out to a ball field,
and don't even.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Throw me a ball. Catch You've got enough trouble, gotch
in your own breath? Good? Uh?
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Oh, well it's open now you can't show off pick
the loss. Okay, at least I get some conversation from that.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Mm it shouldn't be open. Now, come on, in silence,
have that.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Flashlight right here it is and here I am the way.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I figure it's marry.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
The murderer hit up here until he could get a
good shot at my calendar. When ill on slid he
shot it.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But wasn't there a boy up here?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Uh? Boy who puts the balls and strikes and outs
and everything?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I should have been.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yes, Yes, there was a boy here right there. He
is over there in the corner. The murderer probably knocked
him out, but he hit.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Too hard the blocky he did. I wonder the door
wasn't locked. No, sign of a little murderer might have been,
let's get out of here.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Saturday ever finds you here with that body, you'll never.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Let you out of Jahil. What would Faraday be doing here?
What would be doing up here? I'd be following you, Blackie.
You could get a blood? How to do that? If
you do it faster and look better than you do? Ah?
I thought I told you to stay away from here, blankee. Yes,
I suppose you did.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
But you didn't tell miss Wesley to stay when I
couldn't let her come out here on escorted?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Could I inspect you? Do you know that at first
he wanted to let me come out here alone a.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Cat es when as they don't, I have enough trouble
with Blankie, aren't you assurance?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
But oh sure, I'm sure, and I'm al so sure
that you want something to do with the murder of
Mike Allan, And I'll approve to you, Blankie.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You're not so smart and I am not so dumb.
Now all back to Washington, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
After Mike Allen, baseball star, is mysteriously shot while sliding
into second base, it has learned from Lefty Jones, another ballplayer,
and his wife that.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Mike had the cleanest record of any man in the
major leagues.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Boston, Blackie, Inspector Faraday's perennial suspect, has figured out that
the shot that killed Alan came from behind the baseball scoreboard.
He's investigating the scoreboard when Paraday surprises him to complicate matters.
The scoreboard boy has been found murdered. As we return
to our story is a few minutes later, Blackie, Mary Wesley,
(12:39):
and Paraday are still up behind the score.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
That's all I've got to tell you, Pal. You were
following me, so you know I didn't kill this boy.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Here.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All I've done so far is show you where the
shot killed Alan came from. Blackie, Why is it you
always show me something you think.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I don't know why, Inspector, because I always have one
less suspect to look for.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You waste too much time.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
On me, Lankie.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'd like to go home. Please? What are you asking
him for? I'm the one who the science. Where you're
gonna go?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Well, where am I going to go?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Inspect Oh take a home, lay and believe me. If
you don't stay out of this case from here and
it'll be bad news for you.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Believe me, inspector. If I do stay out of this case,
that'll be good news for the murderer. It don't look
like much of a hotel to Melanie. You gotta take
what you can get nowadays, should he? Besides, the baseball
players travel alive, and they used to once overlight the accommodations.
(13:40):
Let's go in push the revolving dogs. Shat he. I
wanna know what it's like to be a parasite.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Okay, boss, don't look like much of a lobby either.

In an hour, I'll be in a room that's him
undered wears down on twenty Falls Street. It might be
a good idea for you to come up and discuss
this matter, don't you think.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Good Bye, darling, Would you mind telling me what was
the big idea of the menstrual routine?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Well, first of all, nobody seems to have a reason
for killing Mike Allon. But the batting order of yesterday's
ball game was switched at the last minute, with Mike
batting and Lefty Jones spot.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Now suppose somebody didn't know it was switched, and.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
You only that Jones usually batted in the fourth slot.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Well, then that's somebody wouldn't know much about baseball. All
line ups are subject to change without notice.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
And the hotel clerk I just talked to doesn't know
baseball at all. It was too far from a scoreboard
to see a player's face. And maybe he intended to
kill Jones, who usually batted Forth.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yes, but why would he want to kill Jones?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I heard the talk between him and missus Jones. Why
that gal has him doing handsprings? Maybe he figured with
Jones out of their way, he could get her to
marry him. If I'm right, he'll come up to meet
me and I'll put the heat on him and turn
him over to paraday on Ice.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Thanks for letting me use your room, Shorty. When you
hear a knock on the.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Door, it'll be the room click French, so scram out
the fire escape right.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Well, suppose it's now knock on the door, boys, then.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
French is probably innocent. Only I wouldn't want to think
that there is Shorty jurm boss.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't wanna show you, Okay, boys, I'll see jersal Man.
Is that you boss?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Is that me?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Boss?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's me Faradaya Blankie. What are you doing here? I
could ask you that question with better reason.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Believe me, I get it, Blankie. Now you're adding blackmail
to your other activities. You called French and gave him
some story about seeing him go behind the scoreboard yesterday. Huh,
And he called you and told you that. Of course,
Well he said the hotel porter called him. Now what's
that all about? That was me playing hotel porter Friday.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I think I've got something, yeah, and I've got guilt,
which is nothing.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Listen, Uh, I think French shot my calendar, yah, thinking
he was killing Lefty Jones, and that he still thinks.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
The porter did see him at the ballpark.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Look, he could never stop me from telling what I knew.
If I were the porter and did seem good, he so,
so he told the story to you, knowing if he
did no matter what I said from there on and
he'd be in the clear.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Saturday. I hate to ask for favors, but well this
time I'm gonna. Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
This time, you've gotta ask for favors. I got a
gun in my pocket I'll use in a minute if
you get tough.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Here's your gun. I took that out of your pocket
right after you came in here. What. Yeah, take it
as heavy.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I listened to me pardying, give me one more chance
to prove the French is the man we want. One
chance in one hour.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
What can you lose one wonderful case against you? Alright,
go ahead, Blakey, only you better make it good.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Thanks Barday be in the hotel.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I'll be talking to French for an hour when a
certain phone call will show you what a phony he is.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
It's uh, it's just like I told you, mister French.
When we got up to that Roman a hundred and
twenty fourth Street, there was nobody there.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Well, I I knew there was some kind of mistake somewhere.
That's picture.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, uh I'll just hang around here and grab a
smoke for a minute and i'll h well, excuse me
as picture Hello Victor hotel. You call a cop that
wasn't smart for us? Oh uh well, uh uh just
a minute, I I'll see. Oh so she'll be there,
Uh yes, said yeah, yes, of course I'll get it. Boss. Okay,
(22:50):
just don't try the same trick again.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You got thirty minutes to show up here so we
can talk business. I see, that's all. I certainly, certainly,
I I'll be glad to good. Why the room shortage
is getting worse all the time, Inspector.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yeah we even ordered that. Uh Jonathan jail, Well, i'll
be seeing a French. I'm going home, goodbye, Inspector. I'm
going up duty sooner. But I can't go home. I
better go see a friend of mine. Come on in balls,
(23:29):
I've seen you coming down the street, so I know
it's you this time.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Huh, all right, turn on the light. We don't need
no light balls. It's busted in the first place. Besides,
I can feel money. I don't have to see the
color of it.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
You can feel money. Maybe you can feel this too.
I wouldn't shoot no more if I was you, mister French.
Somebody's like to get hurt, all right, somebody in name you?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What are you?
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Black?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Millick?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Right here? Only I moved around the line. The rest
of this time. I'm getting out of here. That's gonna
be a little tough. The dog is kind of locked
to be. What do you want? What is it? One thing?
I don't wanna be a poler no more, and a
little dog fixed that.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I wanna get paid the spine on you and missus jibones,
So he used to watch his Sure, and I seen
you at the ballpark too. Like I said, chances are
the scoreboard boy saw you too, so you had to
kill him.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's worth a thousand bucks in the balls. Alright, you
know what you're talking about. Get me here, get your money. Okay, Yeah,
come there you go. I forgot to see I was coming,
but I was ducking too. You try and duck this
(24:58):
line eight, you've had enough. I wonder what it was
about that guy's chin that attracted my fist.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Well, man, it's a wonderful afternoon. Where would you like
to go? Where would you like to take me football game?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Who's been murder?
Speaker 7 (25:21):
I mean that who's playing today?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Oh, let's go, But uh, I wish you'd tell me
first what poor Mike Ellen might have told you about
the day he was killed.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, i'd ask him for an autograph baseball for you
and nephew married. Oh, he probably just wanted to tell
me that he had it. You know, what's a curious thing.
Mary French had never been to a baseball game until
the day he went and killed Allan and the scoreboard boy.
What's curious about that that the first time he sees
the national pastime.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It's his last time
