Stilled was the hideous rat-tat-tat which for the past three springs has played havoc with the neighbors' Adolphus, tiie drain pipe drumming woodpecker, is dead.

Among those whose sleep has been stopped at dawn by Adolphus' unfailing reveille was seven-year-old Franklin Phillips, scion of the Mervyn C. Phillips family. It was Franklin who brought peace to the neighborhood yesterday after the best marksmen of the Chicago police department had failed. Franklin did it with his little slingshot. For three springs at the same hour each morning Adolphus had perched on the copper drain pipe of the Phillips' home and with gusto and self appreciation tapped out ear-splitting compositions.

Sleep had ended when Adolphus began. The weather permitting, most of Eastern Indiana's ball diamonds will be in use Sunday afternoon. The following games are scheduled: Portland Centlivres Saratoga Independents, at Saratoga. DeSota A. vs.
