ST. MARK’S
WIN OVER
SWASTIKAS
Episcopal Basket Ballers Take
Victory in Final Moments
of Play.
FINAL SCORE; 21 TO 15
Messrs. Elmendorf and Dum-
phy Feature Contest by
• Brilliant Work.
The St. Mark's basket ball team
won over the Swastikas In their bat-
tle in the City League series Friday
night on the St. Mark's court by the
score ot 21 to 15.
The winners pulled the game out
of the Ure in the last few minutes of
play after a most exciting session
with the leather sphere. The teams
both b titled as though their lives
depended on it and no quarter was
given by either live.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 10 to 8 In favor of the
Episcopals with the Swastikas bat-
tling every inch of the way.
The second half was spectacular
and excellent plays abounded. Both
teams playing against that cellar
championship. The Swastikas were
playing against great odds and the
unfamiliirity of the court was some-
what against them. Not until the last
few minutes of play however was
the outcome decided.
Played Uphill.
The Swastikas had played an up-
hill game and deserve credit for the
gentlemanly way in which they took
their loss. They tried hard and no
one can do more.
On the other hand the St. Mark's
team played a good clean game and
the brilliant manner in which Messrs.
Stickney Muir and Cunningham
guarded their positions was a treat
to the spectators.
t aptain Elmendorf was the main
point contributor of the melee and
the boss of the Episcopals made
some excellent shots from difficult
angles upon more than one occasion.
All told. Elmendorf gathered eleven
points for his clan which with the
able assistance of Dolan and Miller
put the winners over the tape. I
Pumphy left forward of the Swas-
tikas played exceptionally well
through both halves and besides an-
nexing nine points for the winners
contributed to some excellent defen-
sive work. Holbrook Garza and
White each added two points to the
losing fives's total.
Thayer as has been the case in
previous encounters was a power on
the defense and proved himself a
general all around nuisance to the St.
Mark's.
Rische and Seng alternated as um-
pire and referee and their work was
above criticism. The lineup:
St. Mark’s (21). Swastikas (15).

The match was featured by mans
good plays and high games. Boren
was credited with the highest single
game of the match scoring 240 pins

which was hung up by the Eagle
Furniture Company's team. The
"Telephone" boys piled up a count
of 946.

before word wa s received here of
the signing of Pitcher Brennan and
Catcher KilUfer by the Federal

iness manager said:
“It looks a s if they are trying to
break up the Philadelphia team. I
did not think KUlifer would leave
us and as for Brennan I thought
that was out of the question. If
there was ever any player well treat-
ed by any club it Is Brennan. He
has been given everything he has
asked for and he cauld not have
been dissatisfied. The Phillies how-
ever will he right there when the
season starts raid or no raid.”

serving for the winners in his best
form. The second encounter was
