love or money.

grounds, also a few automobiles.
The outstanding stars of the game
were: Hanky, with his dead sure peg
down to second, and a bear with the
willow; Johnny Kaluakini who was
always there to receive said peg and
is a coming Babe Ruth; George Doone

ion; Dan Doone, stopping everything
down at the keystone sack, and Ka-

sticker; all for winners. The rest of
the team were weak.

Ceiving end, Hatsu Itchy at short and
first, S. Burrows at third, Tommy al
