What will the New Year bring?
Will Alex and Johnson lose more

Will Wagner come back in the
spring?
Will nineteen-eighteen with its
stars and its goats
Develop another Frank Chance?
Will Mack win a pennant? Will
Rowland lose out?
Will Fam after Ed Collins dance?
With al the guessing on dope
that's to come
The eadest part of my job
Is to figure whatever the New
Year does,
Il won't bring another Ty Cobb.

ter Rabbit for the Green Forest in
quest OF Tommy Tit the Chickadee, OF
Drummer the Woodpecker or both
Now. Tommy Tit is a very little fellow,
Drummer isn't SO very much bigger,
and the Green Forest is a great big
place. Where to look for them Peter
hadn't the slightest idea. 30 he Just
wandered about this way and that way
hoping that he would blunder on them
somewhere. He was about ready to
give up when in the distance he heard
a faint rata-tat-tat. ON started Peter
headlong in the direction of the sound.
for he knew that none but Drummer
the Woodpecker could make that rate
a-tat-tat.
He ran until he was quite out OF
breath and then he had to stop. He
had seen nothing Of Drummer and he
had heard nothing further. He didn't
know whether he had come far enough
or too far. He was a wee bit dis
curaged. To be quite truthful. he was
more than a wee bit-aAiscourage ged-he
was whole Let discouraged. Once
more he was aboat to give Et when he
other direction. It was the voice Of
Tommy Tit the Chickadee and or
started Peter once more.
This time he had better luck Before
he was quite out Of breath he spied
Tommy Tit fitting about and cutting
up all sorts of antics in some birch
trees.
