AGAINST FRIENDSHIPS
Mazer Star For Victors, Scoring
More Points Than Entire
Friendship Team

The d. A. c. basketball five gave
an suspicious exhibition as a closing
to their successful season by defeat
Ing the Friendship lodge team, last
night, by a score OF 81 to Is, and to-
day are the undisputed city cham
pions, and incidentally have a strong
claim to the state title. "Ole Jake"
Mazer, as Is his wont, was the par
ticular star of last nights contest.
Twenty-three OF the victor's points
We're directly due to Jake He rung up
10 free throws out OF possible 20
and made two field baskets.
The game was one OF the toughest
in which either team has INDUCED.
The lodge boys started off like a
lWhirlwind, outclassing their oppon-
ehts in the first few minutes OF play.
They led at the end OF the first half
by score of IA to 10. During the
second half. however, the d. A. c.
took the lead and steadily drew away
from their opponents.
Ben Geddis was the star for the
losers. His work. however. was mar
red by roughness, but he led his
team throughout the contest in fine
style.

MONROE, La, March 23.-Bill LOU
den gives credit for his cleverness
at baseball to Larry Schlafy,' who
played with him in Newark. For two
years Louden was at short while
Larry played second and in those two
years Bill learned lot OF baseball
from the wisest man on the inside
ball in the minors. according to Bits
own opinion.
1t is to Schlafy, too, that Bill gives
the credit for having started him on
his upward path to the Tigers. Lou
den was with Montreal several years
ago, playing with a bunch that was
very, very weak He was breaking
in a short. the third baseman covered
as much ground as his feet occupied,
the second baseman knew even less
about the game than did Bill, and the
first sacker had been hauled In from
