Pop Clark is about to lose his baseball team, unless they can win the pennant so he can pay off debts. He hires ace player Larry Kelly to ensure the victory. As well as rival teams, mobsters are trying to prevent the wins, and as the pennant race nears the end, Pop's star players begin to be killed, on and off the field. Can Larry romance Pop's daughter, win enough games, and still have time to stop a murderer before he strikes more than three times? (imdb)

The Baseball Murders! The gambling mafia shameless bribing and killing the players to fix the games. Combining murder mystery with the game wasn't much success. Mildly amusing at best, but the writing feels messy and disconnected with any reality. Ted Healy, once the boss of The Three Stooges, as the umpire had some fun moments in a otherwise difficult film to connect with.

Like Gabriel Over the White House, it's interesting to see a world where mobsters undermine national institutions with such impunity. However, it sure seems that there are more ballplayers than there are detectives trying to break the case. I, for one, would not trust the St. Louis Cardinals with a murder investigation.
