diagonal strokes. but while he had d.
reetion down pat he was not sure with
his hitting and his strokes were weak.
Malina Native Wonder.
John Malina was the star player of
, the Rice Brothers team. He got busy
at the start and stayed busy to the
finish. This native polo expert wa

ran off with it while the others were
maneuvering for an opening or swing

seconds TO spare.

during the first half of the game. They
CROPPED around for the ball when it was
right there all the time and when one
got away with it he lost out on the
chase or made a miss stroke when he
had the ball on the run,
'They can't hit it when thew get
it, the sideline bunch groaned.
At the end of the third inning the
score stood six to one and a half, and
the Kauai team won out on this big

a clean-cut at q narrow angle that inst
squeezed through for a goal.

, on him and rode him off while another
red followed up and drove the ball
back.

in the first period. but got I'D and re.
