fellows are all under fifteen years of
age but they make up in enthusiasm
and practise what they lack in years

in good shape for the Mooheaus' third
appearance here.

and get busy with bat and ball.
Bill Espinda s arm is in fine shape
after his stay on Mani and he will be

and there will be no tedious waiting
for the second game to begin.
