BRAYFORD AND McEWEN STARS
Seward Five Gaining Rapidly As
Last Half Ends—Both Teams
Off In Shooting.
With the team weakened by the
absence of one of the regular play
ers the Seward basketball five lost
the last game of the series to the
Anchorage “Midgets” Saturday nite
at the S. A. C. gym, by the score of
28 to 23. It was the only game the
Inlet team won and the fact they
took the scalps of the locals in Sat
urday’s game is laved entirely to the
broken lineup whereby it was neces
sary to stick in a sub. That is the
only alibi the champs have. They
played the game equally as good as
on the two days previous with one
exception that of shooting baskets.
The average shot directed at the net
went everywhere but through the win
dows. In this respect the Seward
members were away off their “feed.”
On the other hand the visitors
likewise missed shot after shot tho’
in the general team play there were
considerable more unison. The fur
ther both teams went the better they
appeared to be with Seward coming
to the front by leaps and bounds dur
ing the last few minutes of play.
Leslie, who was shoved in the first
half, playing center in place of John
son, the latter playing guard, was
taken out at the beginning of the
last half and Tom Selby, former
basketball star, who only turned out
for practice but three times this
year, was put in. It was evident,
the move was a wise one for the su
perior field work of the old and more
experienced Selby, seemed to stem
the Inlet tide, which in the first
half rolled in heavy and all but
swamped the locals, the half ending
15 to 5 in favor of Anchorage.
The tide began to recede at the
opening clash of the second half and
the local fans’ temperature rose to
a marked degree following the three
magnificent shots by the skipper of
the quintet, Ted McEwen—all within
the first five minutes of play. Mc
Ewen’s field shots were excelled,
however, by the beautiful long shot
of Valuer’s in the first half. Mc
Ewen’s and Valear’s shots were all
clean passing thru the iron hoop, al- !
most without a wrinkle of the net,
but Valear’s was from far beyond
the center. McEwen’s were also long
shots and made while he was in rap
id motion. The spectators widely ap
plauded both brilliant players. It
was in the first half that Johnson also
made a pretty shot from close in;
Boudreau of the opposite players as
sisted Seward in making two points
right off the bat in the second half
when, during a hot scrimmage for
the hide, he temporarily forgot the
change in baskets, and plunked one
into the local’s net instead of his
teammates’ hoop. In accordance with
the rule book this basket was credit
ed to Seward’s score.
As usual the game was as rough as
the former two, thirteen personal
fouls being charged to both teams.
Seven of these were made by the vis
itors and six by the local team. Bou
dreau was charged with three; Ek
and 'Wells each with two. Johnson
with two and Tinkler and Selby
with one each.
Brayford was the star point getter
of the evening making twelve. Mc
Ewen was right behind him making
eleven points for the locals. Next
came Valaer with eight points, then
Johnson with seven; then Ek with
four; Chya, Boudreau and Wells
with two each, not counting the
freak basket throwu by Boudrea
which redowned to Seward’s credit,
and lastly, the one foul line throw
of Leslie’s for one point.
In the first half Brayford made two
field baskets and twTo foul line
throws; Valaer made three baskets
and Ek one and one. Johnson made
one and one and McEwen and Leslie
each made a foul line throw.
In the second half McEwen made
five field baskets, Johnson two and
Chya one. Brayford came through,
with three field baskets. Wells, Va
laer and Boudreau one each. Ek
contributed a foul line throw.
The game started at 8:30 p. m.
owing to the lateness of the lights
coming on, ending at 9:25 p. m. Time
out was declared for two minutes
by Anchorage from 8:43 to 8:45. The
first half ended at 8:52. The sec
ond half started at 9:03. Time out
was declared by Seward at 9:11, be
ginning again at 9:13.
Referee Barnett handled the game
exceptionally well, both teams con
ceding, considering the tactics used,
he was confronted with a hard task.
There was another good size crowd
in attendance ■who were quite free
with their applause. The series came
to an official end when each team
gave three rousing cheers to the op
position.

If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Hem Trader Ycu are a
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself.
K -
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. > They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
. —long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. ' He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money.
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money—not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community. ^
