The National League pilot believes
the squad has improved both defen-
Sively and Extensively over last sea-

morning Redeye the Virco brought the
news that there was an egg of Sally

was very much upset.

very near to Redeye and the tempta-
ton was more than he could resist. He
had chased that butterfly and it had
taken him couple of minutes to catch
it. When he had returned he hadn't
noticed that there was an extra egg
in the nest. Mrs. Redeye would have
but Redeye didn't.
The day after Sally Sly had imposed
on Mr.. and Mrs. Redeye Mr.. and Mrs.
the Yellow Warblers were the
victims. Blacky the Crow had visited
the Old Orchard and there was strong
suspicion that he was looking for eggs.
The result was that all the feathered
folk had turned TO drive Blacky away.

most of her opportunity. Sally is moth
