This player is listed as "Artie Artejuski" at probasketballencyclopedia and appears to have played one game for Windsor. Being of Polish ancestry, the spelling of the last name looked too anglicized to me. His last name is most likely Ardzieyewski. I also doubt that "Artie" is his actual first name but most likely a nickname taken from his hard-to-pronounce last name.

My hunch paid off! There were a few teams of brothers playing independent basketball around Detroit in the mid 1930's, including a team with 5 Ardzieyewki brothers: Julian, Thadeas, Alphonse, Roman and Stanislaus. So which of the five played with Cooper in the MBC? In an article from the January 19, 1936 Detroit Free Press, there is talk of a semi-pro match up with a team containing many players who played for Cooper that year, and included on that list was brother Julian. So that evidence leads me to proclaim with a good amount of certainty that he is the player formerly listed as "Artie Artejuski."
