was made couple OF hours prior
thereto, crowd of about 200 voters
assembled in front OF the Glendale
mills and listened to an address by
Congressman j. II. johnson Yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Johnson began speak
ing at 3 o'clock and continued for
about an hour, during which time he
briefly enumerated some OF the prin-
cipal matters of his stewardship to
the people. The congressman was
Siven excellent attention and a most
respectful hearing. The crowd ap-
pcarcd to be a thinking gathering.
Congressman Johnsons speech was
pitched on high plane and contain
ed nothing personal or offensive to
any one
MI. Johnson began by calling at
tcntion to his work for better mail
facilities in this congressional dis
trict. When he went to congress, a
little more than II years ago. there
were only three rural routes in this
district. The law provided for the
establishment of rural routes, but
| there were practically none. Now
there are l2S rural free delivery
routes, the mail is carried to every
section OF the district, i2S persons
have good, permanent positions, due
to the industry and influence OF their
representative in congress.
The speaker narrated Interestingly
how he went in person all over the
district, sought out men and urged
them to make petitions for rural
routes, gave them the benefit of his
information on the subject, and spent
weeks with postofIice inspectors lay
Ing out these routes. Several years
afterwards, when the existence of
the routes was in danger, he went
In person throughout various parts of
the district and wrote many letters
to other portions, pointing out to the
people the absolute necessity OF rally
ing to and materially supporting their
mail facilities--as Il result not one
route in his district has been dis
turbcd or discontinued.
Continuing. Mr.. johnson told of
his earnest and painstaking efforts in
collecting old war claims claims for
carrying the mail prior to the Civil
war, claims for horses taken from
Confederate soldiers in violation of
the terms Of their, paroles, etc. He
collected many thousands Of dollars
In this manner for the people, with
out pcnny's compensation, and il
was work OF pleasure to him. In
all he collected more money for the
people Of his district than all the
other congressman from South Caro-
lima and the two United States SEN
ators combined for the other portions
OF the state.
During his career in congress he |
has passed over so bills He dwelt
on the nature OF his committee work,
its Importance and high rank. He
told his hearers good humorcdly that
when people came along saying Joe
Johnson had done nothing for his
friends not to get mad, but just treat
these persons as if they were modern
Rip Van Wrinkles.
MI. Johnson dwelt particularly on
the fact that he was one Of the few

ROYAL TEAM LEADER
EXPLAINS POSITION
Gives Facts About the Recent Can
cellations by Hassett
Team

Exceptions have been taken by Jo-
Seph Y. Russell. manager of the John
X. Royal basketball team to the ex-
planation from the directors of the
Hassett Club for recent cancellations.
He has sent the following letter to
the Telegraph. Both sides having
been heard in print. Any further diff
ferences will be put up to a board of
arbitrators. The letter says:
"A letter in your issue of January
p signed by I. b. Johnson, director
of the Hassett Boys Club, was read
carefully. The writer of this letter
attempts to state the facts concerning
the cancellation of a basketball game
scheduled to be played between the
Hassett five and the John X. Royal
team of this city, on the armory floor,
Saturday, January II.
Facts, like mules, are stubborn
things and while stating facts some
things should not be overlooked and
real facts given. l am surprised to
thing that r. Is. johnson would detract
from the dignity of his high calling,
to engage in newspaper controversy
over a game of basketball.
Now | desire to state just a few
facts myself. When as manager of the
Royal team 1 interviewed the man.
ager of the HaSsett team. / did not
state that there would be no other
team representing the p. R. R. Y. NJ.
G. A. l did state there would be no
representative team from the p. R. r.
Y. NJ. c. A this season, a bulletin to
that effect having been posted by the
management of the P. r. r. Y. NJ. c..
A. at that time.
Made No Claims
L do not now or never did claim
that my team represented the P. R. r.
Y. NJ. c. A. 1 only claim to be what
We are, an Independent amateur team,
not P. r. r. Y. NJ. c. A. second
team or a scout team as Mr.. Johnson
chooses to call us.
I'VE do not claim to be in a class
with the Harrisburg five, either. If
the Hassett team had been sportsmen
enough to have fulfilled their prom
1se to play us, perhaps they would
have found out what class we are in.
The Hassett team never played any
p. r. r. Y. NJ. c. A. team except the
second team, the Reserves. / tried to
arrange another game with the Has
sett five and their manager. Mr.. De-
lone, asked me to play them Satur-
: day, January "a, to which l agreed,
only to have him again cancel.
Further in his letter Mr.. Johnson
states their reason for concelling was
because the games arranged without
the consent of the director of the Has
sett team, but Mr.. Delone. their man.
ager, had said at the time of the first
game, that they had to go to York to
play and at the time os the second
game, that two of his players had to
work.
I'm justice to my team I will say
that our only connection with the
p. r. r. Y. NJ. c. A. is that they are
all members and L am an employe
of that association. The P. r. r. Y.
NJ. c. A. is represented on almost all
the leading teams in the city, even
the Hassett five is coached by a P. r.
r. Y. NJ. C. A. member.

TR|-S1ATE ACTIVITY
RAISES ENTHUSIASM
Three Clubs Expect to Land Man.
ayers During the Week;
Kind Words Are Many

More enthusiasm is now in evidence
in the Tri-State than was shown in the
majority of the towns throughout last
season. From all sides is coming
strong encouragement from the back
ers and boosters, and President George
Graham will start this week with his
injections of ginger which he hopes
will result in still further activity to
bring about a game of higher stand
ard.
The George Washington Heckert
deal has been pulled through success
fully. Reading, Allentown and Tren-
ton will get busy this week In the
signing of managers. According to re-
ports there may be general switching
of players among these clubs. Bert
Conn is trying to land the Allentown
berth, and Johnny Castle may sue
ceed Conn at Trenton. Reading Is still
after Eddie Plank or some other big
leageur. Referring to the change in
the Tri-State the Philadelphia Tele-
graph says:
Dawn of New Era
"a new era has dawned for the Tri-
State League. The Tri-State has been
slipping back in recent years, and
the club owners called for new deal.
With Graham, who has always been a
very ardent supporter of the Tri-State
League in command, it is believed
that the organization will get off the
rocks, and soon be enjoying period
of prosperity. Graham was given
term of only one year, SO that 1t is
up to George to make good.
"The new president announced that
the league intended to change its
policy regarding players. Hereafter
the clubs will try to develop young
players instead of being a refuge for
ball tossers who have served on the
diamond for many seasons
The league has also suffered Sc
verely for years because of lack of
publicity. At this angle of the game
President Graham should be a past
master He knows news and he
knows how to get it in print. The
owners of the Tri-State League have
proven game lot of sportsmen. They
are deserving of success.
with a new deal, the chances look
good for the organization being put
on its feet, and the national game
once more fiourishing throughout the
circuit"

THE reserve clause was inserted in

no inroads on our circuit. The out
laws haven't landed any players of
standing excepting Tinker and Knabe,
and they can't carry a whole eight
