The weather man excelled HIM
self last Sunday in providing ideal
weather for the opening day of the
national sport. McBryde met and
defeated the Makaweli team
Makaweli, the score being 26 20
10 in favor of the McBrydes; the
Lihues took a hike to Koloa where
they met an overwhelming defeat,
the score being 3 to o IN favor of
Koloa. Over on the Kapaa grounds,
the second best game of the day
was pulled off between the home
team and the Kilaueas, the latter
being defeated 4 to o. The result
of Sundays games would indicate
that turn in the tide of Koloa' s
luck has set in. 1t has battery
which will prove snag to all COM
petitor. Kuhlman throws ball
which has the speed of bullet.
He has a man at the receiving end
fully capable of completing one Of
the strongest batteries in the league.
Lihue's chief reason for defeat
was due to their inability to locate
Kulhmann swift twirlers. The

singled - and in t h G confusion
brought on by forced play, Ellis
put on brakes between Ist and End

goat at 2. No run.

straight into the c. f. NIT, Perry
