Malvern Oriolettes Struggle With Free Throws In Losses
Malvern and Nishna Valley met in a season tale of free throw woes for the Oriolettes.

It also notes DeWitt Nebrak basketball success and reports a Hall of Fame inquiry into Dakin Miller, a Malvern native born September 2, 1877, who played in the majors around 1900.
