The Birds Loyal Allies.

The migratory bird law has been
singularly justified by its results. To-

robins have been held as lawful game.

to 10 to defeat before the North

the third and another trio in the
fourth
AT the beginning OF. the fifth inning
Manager Colombo put Wiley. whom ne
had been saving for the White River
Junction game yesterday, into the box
and the Northfield batting averages
took decided slump. He scored eight
strikeouts in five innings, allowing only
three hits and no runs. The local team
had rally in the eighth when the first
three men up got on on singles amid
the cheers of the crowd. Wilson ard
Zanleoni struck out and Johnston, com
