BASKETBALL
Visitors Play ROwdy Game. Fans Are
Treated to a Prize Fight Not Listed
on the Program

Last Saturday nights game was a
hummer. We were visited by a gang
of rowdies who seem to think they
must win at basketball whether by
foul means or fair, and they certainly
showed their dirty playing here. One
of the forwards of the Philadelphia In
dependents, who was playing our for
ward, Tom Delaney, started to trip and
hold Tom whenever the opportunity
came his way. He was warned by De-
laney to stop his dirty playing. The
starting of trouble came in the first
period of play, when the opposing
forward tripped Tom. He thought it
was al accident, but the same thing
happened a second time. Then he was
warned not to repeat the offense again.
He was not satisfied with tripping, but
he tried other mean tactics; then
the fun started Delaney hit him and
a f~ree-for-all started, No one was
seriously injured, but the excitement
was at fever heat. Chief of Police
Cobb stepped in and put a stop to any
further trouble. w. A. c.. was de-
feated by the score of 80 to 2S. The

THE EXCESS CREW LAW

A bill is before the New Jersey legis-
crew law passed several years ago.
The law compels the railroads to en-
ploy more men than is necessary to
properly and safely operate the trains.
The measure was passed at the behest
of the labor unions at a time when it
road companies than it is today. Many
disinterested people believed it to be
an unjust law at time of passage and
observant passengers on railroads
realize that trains could be safely and
properly operated with less men than
at the time of the passage of the law
that it was passed by a legislature
that was afraid of the labor unions
and that its principal object was to
provide jobs for a certain class of
r~ailrOaders. There would seem to be
about as much justice for a law to be
passed compelling the City of Wild
wood to hire men to shovel sand from
one point of the Wildwood ocean beach
to another in order to give employ
ment to idle men. The principle is
wrong and the law should be re-
pealed. The Journal believes that
Senator Bright and Assemblyman Kay
would be justified in voting for the
repeater. A vote is expected to be
taken upon it next Monday night at
Trenton.

Melville was here on Tuesday night,
February 18th, and a prettier game
of basketball was never seen played
here. They came down with a big
crowd of rooters and they certainly
did some roofing.
Millville sent one Of the strongest
teams that has played here in a long
time. They had an Eastern League
star, Franckle, playing guard against
Tom Delaney, and Tom played rings
around him, shooting 9 field goals
against Franckle's 3. There was quite
a difference from Saturday nights
playing. Everything went off like
clockwork. No holding, tripping or
trying to injure a player; just a nice,
clean game of basketball that anyone
would go a long way to witness. The
sports thought they were al a tea
party. w. A. C. won this game in
fine fashion by the score of 35 to 30.
