Irehioh' SnturdaN-Irenton ut Reading;
This is the closing week of the first
half pennant race of the Eastern Bas-
ketball League and a little excitement
not looked for a week ago. has been
injected into the situation. While Cam
den has the pennant all sewed up
there is merry battle on for the posi-
tion of runner up. Germantown appear
ed sure winner, but the showing of De
Neri in the last two weeks was un-
expected and they still have chance
to defeat the suburbanites.
The Bennis -Poth combination is slat
cd to appear at Moose Hall tonight and
tackle the reconstructed Phils. The
line up will be no different for the
current week, at least, but the club
is under new ownership and negotia-
tions are under way which would place
Joe Fogarty in charge.
Joe is known for his ability in this
line. and while De Neri will lose val
uablc man, it is not considered likely
that Manager Myers will stand in his
way. just what changes will take
place in the personnel of the team is
difficult to say, but there are three or
four clubs that plan radical ones in
the next half.
DE Neri May Move
And from all accounts this city will
be minus one OF its three clubs if every =
thing goes as planned. for the De Neri
management is making strenuous Of
forts to transfer its franchise to another
city, and if the deal is consummated
other changes in the local ranks will
occur.
In tonight's game at Moose Hall a
new center will be seen in the German =
town lineup in the person of Jester. n
local Germantown product. who at ono
time was captain of Penn State. and
was also member of the ambulance
corps at Allentown.
1t is likely Trenton will ask for the
reinstatement of Doc Ncuman for the
second half. and Germantown will make
au appeal for the reinstatement of Nee
han. The latter jumps for Scranton,

with Nanticoke for the peunaut. In

PAT MORAN BROKE IN AS
FIELDER, BUT NO ONE CARED
Champion Manager Had One
Hit in His First Big League
Game With Boston in 1901

A FTER man climbs over the heads
\ Of others and reaches the heights
his achievements and activities of years
ago become not only important, but
interesting.
Just a step less than nineteen years
ago, a rookie broke into the big league
as right fielder with the Boston Ma
tiouals. The dispatches sent out from
Beantown that night carried no men
tiou of this fact. Nobody cared.
That rookie was Patrick j. Moran,
who now has two good sized feet well
planted on bascball's pinnacle. Most
everyone will tell you that the boss of
the worlds champion Reds was n
catcher in his day. He was, but he
broke in as a right fielder.
At the time Pat Moran horned bis
way into the big show. the American
League was raiding the clubs in the
parent circuit and talent was beginning
to get scarce. Few players enjoyed the
game as bench spectators. Extra cat
chors and pitchers filled in the outfeld.
For this reason the Fitchburg fighter
played right field. He made a hit in
that first game, single. and had one
put out. Then he got his chance be-
hnid the plate and with the indomit-
able spirit of n champion he made good
and stayed there.
Moran remained with the Boston Cluu
until 1905 when he went with Franz
Chances famous Cubs. lie left the
Cubs for the Phillies in 1912.
Pat never was star as Il catcher
but he gathered untold baseball knowl-
edge, and when he showed his coaching
powers with the Phils pitching staff,

golfer doesn't fret much about these

redeemed? What progress has been
made in the settlement of foreign or
domestic questions?
Twice the President went before
Congress, since the termination of
hostilities, calling attention to needed
legislation. He urged the passage of
laws relating to prof1teering; meas
ures to simplify and reduce taxation;
appropriate action relative to the re-
turning soldiers; the passage of
resolution concerning the construcz =
tive plans worked out in detail by
former Secretary Lane, and the meas
ures advocated by the Secretary of
Agriculture. He suggested that the
Congress take counsel together and
provide legislation with reference to
industrial unrest and the mutual re-
lations of capital and labor. After
more than a year of sterile debate.
our country has neither peace nor re-
construction. Barren of achievement,
shameless in waste of time and
money, the record of the present Con-
gress is without parallel for its in
completeness, failures and repudia-
tions. Are the American people SO
unjust or so lacking in discrimina-
tion that they will reject the service
of a party which has kept it's word,
and place trust in a party which
merely renews the broken promises
of a previous campaign?
Republican leaders have been
moved by a strange and inexplicable
jealousy of the President. Their fe-

There would have been an inevitable
breaking down of the economic
structure of our country. We

were. might then have become alto

Republican Record
Is Quoted Since 1918.
The republicans have now been in
control of the Senate and the House
for more than a year: They won the
election of 1918 upon the faith of
alluring promises. They said that
they would earnestly support the
President, at least. until the tasks of
war were finished. 1t was their con-
tention that they would enter upon
the work of reconstruction with su
perior intelligence and even with
greater patriotism than would be pos
sible under democratic leadership
They gave publicity. when they en-
tered upon the recent session. to de-
tailed and ambitious statements as to
their program. If we are to be
judged. as / hope we may be. by the
record. let them also be judged by
the record. What Iave the republi-
cans accomplished since their politi-
cal success in 1918? What beneficial

people?. What promises have been

10 the fate of the President of their
own country
And what was his offense? Merely
this-that he strove to redeem The
word that America had given to the
Wofld; that he sought to save A future
generation from the agony through
which this generation had passed:
.nat ne mad taken seriously the prom
lSeS that all nations had made thar
they would unite at the end of the
war IN a compact to preserve the
peace of the world: and that he relied
upon the good faith of his own peonle
IL there was any mistake, it was that
ne made TOO generous estimate of
mankind, that he believed that the
idealiSm which had made the war a
great spiritual victory could be re-
lied upon to secure the legitimate
fruit of the war-the reign of uni
versal peace.
In one sense it is quite immaterial
what people say about the President
Nothing we can say can add or de-
tract from the fame that will flow
down the unending channels of his
tory. Generations yet unborn will
look back to this era and pay their
tribute OF honor to the man who led
a people through troublous ways out
of the valleys of selfshness up to the
mountain tops of achievement and
honor. and there showed them the
promised land of freedom and safety
and fraternity. Whether history re-
cords that they entered in or turned
their backs upon the vision, it is all
one with him-he is immortal
American Honor
Bound Up in Contest
There are men who seem to be an
noyed when we suggest that Ameri-
can honor is bound up in this contest.
and that good faith requires that we
should enter the league of nations
The whole republican case is based
upon the theory that we may, with
honor, do as we please about this
matter, and that we have made no
promises which it is our duty to re-
deem. Let US turn again to the
RECORD.
The republican party in its plat
form in 1916 had declared for world
court "for the pacific settlement of
disputes" The progress
sive party in 1912 and in 1916 had
likewise declared for an arrangement
between nations to make peace per-
manent. The democratic party in
1915 had specifically declared in favor
of the establishment of a league of
nations. The Senate itself, on August
2S, 1915. by unanimous vote, passed a
measure requesting the President to
take the lead in such a world move
ment.
On December IS. 1915, the President
addressed an identic note to the
nations at war, requesting them to
state the terms upon which they
