DECISIVE GAMES
IN DIP LEAGUE
Marysville to Clash Tomorrow
Afternoon-Port Royal
Plays at Home
STANDING OF THE LEAGUE
SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY
Duncannon at Port Royal

Marysville and Newport. the two
leaders in the Dauphin-Perry cir
cult will meet tomorrow afternoon
at Seidel Park, in what may be the
deciding contest of the season for
the pennant. Should Marysville win
from Newport, it will mean that
Manager Stees' aggregation can lose
all of it's remaining contests, allow
ing Newport to win it's remaining
games. and the worst that can hap
pen to Marysville is to be tied at the
end of the season for first place.
Jumping into the lead on Memorial
Day by winning a double header,
Marysville has kept to the fore with
goodly margin until injuries to
players crippled the team. and the
a half games separate the two lead
ers, and n victory for Newport will
cut down the lead to half a game.
Saturdays struggle will be the last
contest played at home by Marysville,
the latter team having three games
on foreign soil. Should this team
win Saturday, its total of contests
would be 10 won and five lost. With
three games away from home, Marys-
vile could afford to drop all of them
and wind up the season with a rec
ord of 10 won and lost.
More of the Dope
Continuing the dope" provided
Marysville wakes Newport, this latter
team would then have 8 won and s
lost. Should it win on August 80, 1t
would close the season with 9 wins
and losses. One game that ended
in tie with Duncannon would then
have to be played over in order to
willie. Should a victory result, Marys-
willie and Newport would each have
q record of 10 won and 8 lost. But
the dope" nearly always goes wro ng.
ond If the DIP wants to play the
City champions for the local honors.
no time can be lost in playing off a
tie.
Newport takes the view that to win
Saturday will just about mean an
other pennant for Manager Taylor's
crew, who are the heavy clouters in
the DIP circuit. This would bring
the two leaders within a half game
CT each other. and place Mary ysville
at a disadvantage by having to play
all of its contests away from home.

With one of the West Enders out

another on second base, Washinger
claimed that his catcher could not
see the ball on account of the dark

West End players thought that the
inning should be completed, but the
Commonwealth pitcher would not
return to the mound and the game

Marfinique's
Great Figure

BY far the most interesting figure in the
history of Martinique Is that Of Pere Labat,
a Dominican father, who lived in the island
in the early part of the seventeenth century.
Methods of distlling, sugar cane raising
and even engineering projects instituted by
Pere Labat remain in Martinique to-day.
Yet all that is remembered of the etern
fighter, priest and layman, is a legend which
the Creoles use to frighten their children
into good behavior.
Slavery was introduced into Martinique
before Pere Labat's time yet it is always as
sociated with him because of his cruelties
toward the negroes, whom he believed lit
orally to be climbs of Satan" And when at
night light is seen twinkling on an mac
cesslble mountainsde, it is believed to be
the lantern of Pere Labat condemned 10
wander thus as penance for his cruelties.
Slavery was abolished in 184S. Many Gre
oles, especially among the women, we're
freed voluntarily years before, yet Pere
Labat's lantern still twnkles in Martinique.
Socially there is little distinction to-day
between the races in Martinique, and politi-
cally there is none whatever. 1t Is the color
problem, therefore, with our less liberal So
cial and political attitude, which this coun-
try will have to face if the island should be
ceded to US. 1t is the same problem which
faces US in the Virgin Islands, formerly the
Danish West Indies, where class and nor
color was the dividing line under Danish
rule. In Martinique there is also the bar
rier of language, for where English is UNDER

Judging from reports that have reached
me from st. Thomas since the American
occupation, the color problem is not being
met very happily there. That we would be
more successful with the Creoles of Mar
Unique, who enjoy far greater economic
and political freedom than did the native.
