Samuel Lennox

Camden Crusaders, 1919–1920 Eastern Basketball League Champions

Samuel Lennox

SAM LENNOX was born in Camden in 1897 to James and Catherine Lennox. His father was a railroad laborer. His older brother, James Edgar “Eggie” Lennox, played major league baseball for four different teams between 1906 and 1915, compiling a .274 batting average.

Sam Lennox played professional basketball, and was a member of the Camden Crusaders team that won the Eastern Basketball League championship in 1919, owned by Camden veterinarian Dr. Charles Helm and his partner, W. Penn Corson. Among his teammates were Neil Deighan, Roy Steele, and Joe Hyde, all of whom also went on to successful careers as bar owners in Camden. He also played alongside Eddie Ferat, who went on to work in Camden’s city government for many years. The team, coached by William “Billy” Morgenweck, was known as the Camden Alphas prior to World War I. The Alphas were the league champions in 1914–1915. Renamed the Camden Crusaders after World War I, the Camden five were champions again in 1919–1920, winning both halves of the split-season with a combined 30 and 9 record.

By the late 1950s, Sam Lennox was running the Hudson Tavern, at 12 Hudson Street, just off Federal Street in Camden south of City Hall.

Samuel Lennox had retired by 1970 and was living at the Westfield Towers senior citizen’s high-rise. He passed away in August of 1976, aged 79.

Dolin, N. Deighan, Campbell, Kerr, Steele 1919-20 Pro Champions

By JACK CARTY

There was an era when Camden was known for more than its production of ships, soups, radios and sundry other commercial items. That was when the Camden Skeeters were the scourge of the Eastern Professional Basketball League.

It was over 35 years ago when a banner line screamed across four columns of an old Daily Courier sports page proclaiming that “All Hail the Champions!”

The date was March 11, 1920. It was the day after the Camden team won its first and only championship of the old Eastern League.

Kennedy Was Manager

After 10 years of striving to bring home the coveted flag, Manager “Whispering Will” Kennedy’s Skeeters sewed up the title by defeating the Bridgeport, Conn., quintet, 45-34 at the Third Regiment Armory, now known as the Camden Armory at Haddon avenue and Mickle st.

The date is a memorable one for many, especially those who were around in the days when professional basketball was “the thing” in Camden. Days when such outstanding stars as Neil Deighan, Jimmy “Soup” Campbell, Rich Deighan, Dave Kerr, Roy Steele, Eddie Dolin and others were the masters of the cage game. They mastered it to the delight of two and three thousand fans every time they stepped on the floor at the Armory.

That season and that 1919-20 basketball team provide one of the proudest sports memories in the history of Camden. Although its short-lived glory lasted for less than two years, the mark the Skeeters left is indelible.

Corson, Helm Owners

The Skeeters, owned and financed by former Sheriff W. Penn Corson and Dr. Charles B. Helm, a veterinarian, had many near misses in the search for the pennant. But they never made the direct hit until Kennedy stepped into the picture.

It was the first season the Eastern League had resumed operation following World War I that the ex-Jasper coach took over the club.

He molded a winner with three veterans of former years—Steele, the captain, Dolin and Neil Deighan—with a couple of comparative unknowns, Kerr, and a youngster named Campbell.

With this aggregation as his nucleus, Kennedy won the pennant for Camden and it seemed that only he could have done it.

Frank H. Ryan, late editor of The Courier-Post, who then was sports editor of The Daily Courier, wrote of Kennedy following the team’s successful first half finish:

Describes Kennedy

“He has been connected with the cage game for a score of years, never bullyrags his men and can get results where others fail. Working hand and glove with Steele, who is captain and the king pin of the men on the floor, Kennedy has succeeded in giving Camden what others have failed to do, namely, the much coveted pennant. If the Skeeters can crown their achievement with the second half crown the natives from the city of ships, phonographs, soaps, furniture and fair zone activities can well afford to look our way and give us a silent sneer.”

And they did.

The Skeeters went right on to win 16 more games and the second half, which also included the “much coveted pennant.” They tied a league record of the Reading Bears with 30 wins per season, even though they had one more loss—10.

‘Reading Bear Pit’

Ryan had said of the Skeeters: “The desire to do the right thing at the right moment, a willingness for team play and a general pull together spirit made a combination which the other five teams found too formidable to surmount.” That was one description of the champions.

One of the biggest moments of that glorious season was marked when, for the first time in more than five seasons, Camden was able to beat Reading on the latter’s own court. The Skeeters prevailed 31-24 in the “Reading Bear Pit.”

Campbell, the import from Homestead, Pa., playing his first year in the “fast” ranks of professional basketball, fired the victory with an 11-point effort. That was Jan. 31, 1920—one of the opening games of the second half.

Wallop DeNeri

Prior to that, Campbell, Dolin and Neil Deighan were consistent leaders in point-making to spark the team to the first half championship.

During the season, Germantown, second place finisher in both halves, Trenton, Reading, DeNeri (Philadelphia) Bridgeport and North Philadelphia competed. Bridgeport took over the North Philadelphia franchise in the second half, after the North Phillies dropped out of the league.

In one game against DeNeri, Camden broke all existing records when it beat the Philadelphians, 53-28. Twenty-three field goals were registered by the “coming champs” that December night in 1919.

Campbell set the pace with seven double deckers, tieing the individual high score record for the season.

Only Two Regulars

DeNeri took the floor at the Armory with but two regulars in the lineup. That was blamed for the rout. The other regulars were playing with teams in other leagues—a situation which was to cost the Skeeters the pennant the following season.

The opening account of that particular Camden-DeNeri game read: “That the Eastern League is due to regret the rule which allows its men to play in other leagues was demonstrated by the misfit combination that Manager Myers, of De Neri, brought to this city last night to oppose the local league leaders at the Third Regiment Armory.”

The rule later was amended by league president William J. Scheffer. The amendment cost Adamless Express one of its brightest young stars and took away its championship in 1920-21 when the owners suspended Campbell.

‘Adamless Express’

The 1919-20 Skeeters often were called the “Adamless Express.” When Jackie tucked away his uniform after the league took time out for the first World War, Camden assumed the “Adamless Express” tag.

Brown was one of the mainstays of the North Philadelphia team during Camden’s Championship year, but missed much of the opening half campaign after he suffered a knee injury.

Meanwhile, the Adamless Express got up its head of steam and sailed merrily along its way.

A capacity crowd of nearly 3000 fans turned out at the Armory when the Skeeters opened the 1919-20 season by defeating De Neri, 26-18, on Nov. 5, 1919.

Trenton Causes Trouble

It was Steele, Campbell, Dolin, Neil Deighan and Kerr who played the entire game and Ryan’s account of the victory was very enthusiastic about their showing.

“It surely did seem strange to see the locals enter the cage minus the familiar and popular faces of Jackie Adams and Jimmy Brown as it was the advent of those two stars along with Eddie Dolin that took Camden out of the ‘also ran’ class in the Eastern and gave this city a permanent pennant contender. It can truthfully be said that more than one fan was indeed sorry to note the wrecking of the famous Adams Express, but at the same time no fault can be found with the aggregation Manager Bill Kennedy substituted in its place last night, as the new combination gave a dandy exhibition and looks strong enough to give any club in the circuit a battle for the pennant,” Ryan reported.

There were some squeakers in that first half. Four of them were with Trenton, a team which always had been a formidable foe of the Skeeters.

In the second game of the season Camden stacked up against the Royal Bengals and edged them, 20-18, in Trenton. Camden later won verdicts of 15-14, 24-23 and 20-18, the latter in overtime.

N. Deighan KO’s Schmeelk

However, in a game against Germantown, Kennedy’s cohorts dropped their second verdict of the race—their first at home that season—when the “Germs” prevailed, 21-18. Camden lost its next game and Germantown made it three straight reverses for the Adamless Express when it won, 35-27, Dec. 23, 1919.

The locals league lead was cut to a single game in the rip-snortin’ contest which featured the first fight of the season and banishment of two players. Kerr and Germantown’s Gary Schmeelk had come to blows, but it was Neil Deigham [sic], who entered the melee and “dropped Schmeelk to the floor.”

Referee Bill Kelley banished both men—Schmeelk and Deighan—from the game and both were fined $10.

However, two nights later on Christmas, Camden regained its winning ways by clobbering Reading, 36-15, when Deighan got back into action to score 11 points.

The overtime battle with Trenton clinched the first half diadem—before 2500 fans at the Armory.

Rich Deighan Plays

Camden breezed through the second half without too much trouble and wound up that part of the race with a 16-5 record, clinching the title with the win over Bridgeport and closing the season with Campbell’s 15 points sparking a 35-26 decision over Trenton on March 17, 1920.

Richie Deighan made his first appearance in the Camden lineup early in February that same year when he played the last 10 minutes against Bridgeport. The Skeeters romped home 42-15 winners, with Rich getting three points.

“The last six minutes of action saw the cloak-room boys, Sam Lennox and Joe Hyde in action for Camden and six points of Bridgeport’s total were amassed in this period,” clippings stated.

Rich Deighan, following the championship season, shifted his alliances to Coatesville.

Entered League in 1910

The championship was the end of a long and detoured road for the Skeeters. Early experiences by Camden teams were not quite as pleasant even though it had the pennant in its grasp twice. Once it was awarded to the Skeeters on forfeit, but even then they found a way to get rid of it.

Camden first entered the Eastern League in 1910 when it took over the franchise forfeited by Princeton. The Skeeters just about “tottered along for three years.”

However, they wound up in a three-way tie for first place in 1913-14 season but lost out in the playoffs, finishing second to Jasper. Trenton was third.

Reading Didn’t Show Up

The next season, the Skeeters were part of the league’s worst “fiasco.” Camden and Reading carried the fight from start to finish and ended in a stalemate (identical 25-15 records). Camden, then under Sam Herrmann, won the first game of the playoff at the Armory, but was clobbered in Reading.

The third game was to be played at the Musical Fund Hall at Eighth and Locust sts., Philadelphia. After the hall was packed and hundreds of fans turned away, Reading refused to play the game. In fact, the Bears never showed up.

The Reading team claimed Camden misrepresented the ticket situation. The first decision by the league, which had not handled the playoffs originally—leaving it up to the two teams—was to award the championship to Camden via the forfeit route. But the club owners thought different and agreed to close the season with no championship awarded.

It was one of the worst black eyes the Eastern League ever got.

Third in 1916

The Skeeters fell heir to third place in the spring of 1916 and fourth the following year. The first World War closed the Eastern for the next two seasons and the first year back in the harness Camden started its successful bid for its first championship.

The Champions couldn’t quit [sic] find themselves in the 1920-21 race. Although they were continually in contention for the flag, they never did make it two in a row.

The Skeeters finished third behind Reading and Trenton and ahead of Philadelphia, Germantown and Coatesville in the first half.

Owners Scold Players

They were going great guns in the second half as Campbell, Kerr and Steele began stepping up the attack. The Adamless Express once again was back in first place—all alone. Then one February 4, the disintegration began.

Headlines blurted: “Camden Owners Scold Players. Threaten to Suspend Team Members Playing in Other Leagues. Campbell, Kerr and Deighan Offenders.”

Kerr and Neil Deighan had been playing for a club in the Penn State League. Campbell was active in that and another circuit. Dr. Helm was quoted as saying: “It has come to a showdown. These players will either stick to the Camden team or play with others. A Camden player who violates the rule will be definitely suspended. We want to give the people of Camden a square deal. The players owe it to the fans. No man can serve two or three masters.”

Campbell Suspended

Two days prior to Helm’s attack, Reading had downed Camden, 25-32 and handed Germantown a tie for the lead. Camden won its next game, but still shared the lead with Germantown. Then came the big blow.

Campbell was suspended for not complying with the management. He did not play for the Skeeters again until the next season. There went their chances for the pennant.

Louis Sugarman took over the Homestead star’s position and made a creditable showing, but it just was not up to the standard of Campbell.

‘Say It With Flowers’

Camden retook the lead with its eighth victory by defeating Philadelphia, 32-15, Feb. 9. But a loss to Germantown the following week dropped them into second place and they never were to regain outright possession of first place again.

The Skeeters tied for the lead twice in the late stages of the second half race in March and had a chance of forcing the race [text missing between the crops] week but finished out of the money.

The first half saw the Skeeters in a tight race with Trenton. That half merited Camden second place with over 20 victories. In the final half race Kennedy’s courtmen again became the bridesmaid, despite a 15-5 record.

Campbell was back in the harness again and with Kerr, Dolin, Steele and Neil Deighan they had a pretty powerful club.

Eight teams, including the New York Celtics, battled in the first half, while the roster dwindled to six quintets in the final race.

But the league registered eight teams when it opened its 1922-23 season. It was believed by many to be the best setup for the Eastern League in its history. The other major circuits in the area had folded and the Eastern was supposed to be set solidly.

League Folds

It started an early season (October) and that was the beginning of the end. Football was in full swing. Baseball had just ended. Fans like their sports in season.

The league began to crumble when Scranton and then Wilkes-Barre dropped out. Atlantic City and Reading were next to toss in the towel. A meeting at Musical Fund Hall saved the league for a short time when Trenton, Camden, Coatesville and Philadelphia vowed to make a go of it.

However, in mid-January of 1923 the Eastern League succumbed as the four remaining teams went broke. The main reason for the crackup was put to the “inflated salaries” of the players. But the Skeeters’ backers decried that explanation when they said “every Camden player was worth every cent.” They had kept Camden in first place until the league folded.

Fans Were Confused

Following one of the last games played in the league in Camden, Ryan wrote, “Wednesday night’s crowd would have been a disgrace to the East Side Church League.” That about summed it up.

Constant rearrangement of the league had jumbled the schedule. Fans never knew when or where their teams were playing. The gates were pitiful and the teams couldn’t operate without the money.

That was the end of the championship era of players like Steele, the Deighans, Campbell, Kerr, Dolin and the others. Some of them competed in the Philadelphia League the following season, but Camden dropped out of that league in 1924-25.

Old-timers who can recall the days of the championship Skeeters claim it was the “greatest basketball” team the East ever had.

Players Still Around

And some of the boys who played on that club are still around to verify that. Neil Deighan runs a restaurant in Gloucester and brother Rich manages the Sports Center here in Camden.

Eddie Dolin is a familiar figure as the bridge operator at 12th and Federal sts. Sam Lennox tends bar on Hudson st. and Davey Kerr deals in sporting goods in Ohio.

The rest — Steele, Campbell, Hyde, timekeeper Jim Kane, Helm, Corson and Kennedy—have passed away. But the memories of their court capabilities are very much alive.

GREETINGS

In behalf of Veteran Boxers Association - Ring No. 6, I wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for the help and cooperation we have received through the years. We are celebrating our 13th Annual Banquet and it is gratifying to know that we are progressing steadily forward, for the Veteran Boxers and for the good of our city in which we live.

We are a non-profit organization, our past and present is a matter of record, we have worked and our contribution was greatly appreciated by the Drop-a-Buck Club; we sponsor a team in the Morgan Village Little League; last year we fared four buses of boys over to the Phillies ball park; we take care of our own when they are down, and work to curb juvenile delinquency, for our motto is “One For All - All For One”.

Tonight we are doing honor to one of our own - a Camden boy - Frankie Conway.

I wish to thank the chairman of this banquet, Lew Skymer and two co-chairmen, Frankie Rapp and Pee Wee Ross and the rest of the committee for a job well-done.

I also like to thank our advertisers, patrons, boosters and everyone that has lent their assistance to make this affair a success.

So let us break bread, have joy and merriment, and hope you all have a happy time, and that we may all look forward to meeting again in the future.

Thanks to you all from all of us,

JOE (Kid) MURPHY

President, Ring No. 6

“OUR MAN OF THE YEAR”

Our Guest of Honor, Frankie Conway was born in Camden on November 3, 1900 and in his pre-teen days when he wasn’t selling newspapers down at the Pennsylvania Ferry, he was either playing on one of the city playgrounds, or boxing with the neighborhood kids in some back yard, or in the street. At the age of fifteen, after having a dozen or so amateur bouts, Frankie boxed his first professional bout with Kid Dougherty at the Douglas A. C. in Philadelphia and after six tough rounds he received the handsome sum of $5.00. Now Frankie thought that was better and much quicker than selling papers. He sometimes didn’t earn that much in a week standing outside in all kinds of weather.

So Frankie embarked on a boxing career that took him from one town to another meeting the top contenders in both the bantamweight and featherweight classes. Among some of his bouts were the rough and tough Whitey Fitzgerald, Benny Valger, Harry “Kid” Brown, Bennie Kauffman, Battling Murray, Frankie Jerome, Maxie Williamson and the Gloucester blacksmith, K. O. Joe O’Donnell (a few of these old timers are here tonight).

After almost ten years of boxing and close to 200 bouts and in the early part of 1924, Frankie was not yet 24 years old, when he had the misfortune of losing the sight in his left eye, and shortly after, the same happened to his right eye. Several operations by the best eye specialists in New York proved futile. But Frankie didn’t give up . . . being young and ambitious, he tried his hand in the cafe and night club business and today he is the proud owner of the 11 O’Clock Club at 18 West Cuthbert Boulevard in Westmont.

The petite gal that you see with him constantly is his lifetime manager, trainer and wife who before she became Mrs. Conway, was the former Maude B. Stiles.

Also here tonight are his two sisters, Mrs. Louise Ricciardelli of Westmont and Mrs. Della Uhorchek of Trenton and brother Tony, also of Westmont.

And this in brief, is the story of our Honorary President, the Champion of Champions. Yes, we of V. B. A. - Ring No. 6, are indeed proud and greatly gratified to have you Frankie Conway as “OUR MAN OF THE YEAR - 1961”.

God Bless You!

We Remember When . . .

Your names are on our Clubhouse wall under the word “Deceased”. At every meeting your names are read aloud while we stand in a moment of silence to your memory.

You were a paid up member when you retired from this life.

You may be the fellow who said we couldn’t last.

The one who paid his dues faithfully, whose job would not permit him to attend our meetings.

The chap with all the ideas, who, was too busy to serve on any committee.

The quiet fellow with the pipe, who was always willing to help.

Or the guy who was sure to jump up and say, “I’m against it, it won’t work!” but he put forth every effort to make sure it did work, because it was for the good of the organization.

The member who always promised to do it, but didn’t always get around to it.

You may have been the champ or the preliminary boy. The good member, faithful in attendance and always ready to help. The lax one who would come around once in a while.

Big man in the community, small fish in a big pond but we who remain standing say . . .

May You Rest In Peace
