Storm Destroys Many Birds.

Hundreds of little birds lost their
lives as consequence of the rain
storm that prevailed for several
hours last Tuesday night. The
downpour of water was exceedingly
heavy, and very probably death
came to the little feathered crea-
lures simply through drowning
Wednesday morning dozens of them
were lying in the streets; in a few
instances life was not vet quite ex-
tiuct, but the birds were exhausted
and bedrsggled, A number of
them we're secured and are now on
exhibition in a show window at the
Bell Cafe, where in most cases they
have revived aud are quite lively.
Some Of them are of tue plumage,
notably q pair somewhat resems
bling our cardinal birds,
A strange thing in connection
with this tragedy in the career OF
the birds is the fact that several
species were observed among the
victims which were unknown by
people whose interest was attracted
by the unusual occurrence. Both
adults and children examined nu,
merous specimens which they were
unable to classify. These strangers
belonged to several different spe-
cies. Where did they come from
An answer to this question ma,
be that the birds were on theil
regular spring migration from thu
tropics to the arctic regions. where
millions Of members of variou,
tribes go at this season OF he veal
to spend the summer and live il
luxury on the abundance of insects
and wild berries to be found there
The specimens all seemed small
like swallows, orioles or canaries

By POLLY Hy.

The Wilmington High School Ath-
TIC teams, baseball and track, will get
plenty OF action this week. Three
baseball games, two OF which are 10
be played on foreign fields and the
track meet at Frazer Field, Univer-
sity of Delaware, on Saturday.
The baseball schedule calls for
the first game to be played with
Cheltenham at the latter's field to-
morrow. On the following day they
Will travel to take on the Tome ag-
gregation. On Friday the Camden
nine will play the Highlets at Bay
nard Field. Two OF these games
should prove hard fought battles as
Tome and Camden baseball squads
are the best that have ever repre-
sented their Alma Matters.
The Cheltenham game should not
prove so bad. with Herb White and
Maxwell forming the batteries for
the game. II will be remembered
the ''CheltsH had the Cherry and
White nine, last year, by the score
of 7-3. up until the seventh stanza
when Len" Jones clouted a homer
with the bases full. This tied the
score and also saved the game, as
the two captains had agreed upon
playing seven innings.
This afternoon the varsity squad
will practice for a short time on
Baynard Field. Wood, only south
paw. will probably come through a
little later on. as the youth needs a
little more experience and he should
prove good next season.
ALA Weiner, who played center
field in the entire Coatesville game
was given another trial in the deep |
garden. Newell" Bradway per-
formed well in the field and he can
also cover a wide territory.
The baseball squad will leave for
Cheltenham tomorrow at l.S0 by
bus Those who will make the trip
