Chairman Cole, Junior Olympics,
Station KERG, Eugene, this week.
A search of the area disclosed
a hole cut in the ice of tha lake
and the bodies of the boys cram
med through the hole. Two of
the boys had been shot and the
third had been killed with an
axe. The depth of the snow over
the burned cabin indicated that
the murder had been committed
about Christmas time.
The icy winter had covered all
possible clues. The only lead was
the finding of the fox skins stor
ed in a warehouse in Portland,
but the owner of them had got
ten wind that they were being
watched and never came back.
This was the beginning of a
myth that a madman was run
ning loose in the Cascades. Many
incidents in the following years
lended credence to this story. In
a later article I will tell you
some of the stories.

Al Rosen Out
With Injury
PHILADELPHIA m The
Cleveland Indians, battling to re- j
tain a percentage-points hold on
first place, got good and bad news
Saturday involving key men Bob
by Avila and Al Rosen.
Good fortune smiled on the
Indians when Avila drew a $100
fine and not a 10-day suspension,
as called for by the rules, for
bumping plate umpire Bill Grieve
in New York Friday. Second base
man Avila, leading the league
with a .384 average, charged the
umpire after he was called out on
strikes in the sixth inning.
Tough luck hit the Indians
when they learned that the hand
injury which slugger Rosen had
shrugged off since May 25 turned
out to be a broken finger that wiil
sideline Mm for a week to 10
days.
The first baseman, named the
most valuable player in the Amer
ican League iast season, hurt his
right hand while fielding a hard
smash by Jim Rivera at Chicago.
Saturday morning, friends he
was visiting at Norristown, Pa.,
urged him to see Dr. M. H. Gen-
kms, who ordered an X-ray exami
nation. The plate showed a chip
fracture of the middle joint of
the index finger.
