Editor st. CrolG Avis.
Christiansted, St. Croix,
Virgin Island, u. S. A.

There appeared in the Herald of the
24th ultimo an article bearing the caption
The Virgin Islands Protective League
in New York and the work of its Dele
gates here, in which the Editor of said
paper, by statements and differences, at
tempts to cas- a reflection on the aims.
objects, and purposes of the Virgin Is
lands Protective League.
Even though we. have our Delegates
in the Island, whom we feel confident are
able to defend the principles of the
League of which they are the founders,
we none the less feel it a duty incumbent
upon US as a body to refute those state
ments, and condemn those differences in
which the distinguished Editor? attempts
to cast a reflection upon our organization
by misrepresentation.
First, ne gentleman inferred and
stated that he had promised the League
through its members his Whole hearted
Support. We wish TO state very en-
, 1920-03-03

phatically tina, said statement is Pm un-
qualified falsehood, for three official
letters were sent to him by our cores
pOndence department soliciting his CO.
operation, and all have been ignored.
To none did he respond. Sa d~silence was
so Ominous. that we logically concluded
that he was totally Indifferent to our
movement, if not absolutely opposed
to it.
Secondly, in his attempt to calumniate
our Delegates and leave a lasting stigma
on our cause, he cast all gentIemanly
principles to the winds, and published
private letters that were written to him
at a time when reports of atrocities and
abuses in the Islands, came to US thick
and fast, and caused US to use caustiC as
sertions, against those whom, according
to reports, were responsible for same.
May we ask right here in justice 70 all
cOneerned: what mar or woman In whose
breast there is respect, dignity and
honor. that would remain mute, c~allOuS,
and indifferent at such a time, and not
voiced his or her protest in the mCst
rabid ~language?.
Thirdly, taking the pigment letters of
Miss Hendrickson and others coupled with
the "overdraWn and in many cases false
statements" of the News Papers, the
Editor could have rendered the League
the invaluable service which he claims
10 have promised, by correcting the false
report, (if false they were), rather han
look upon the activities Of the League
with suspicion. The article he referred
to in the New York Call On July %, 1919,
should not have taken so much OF his
breath away, as not to allow him at
least to correct the misstatement and mis-
information, that were made and sent to
the League, especially as he claims to
have proffered it "wholehearted" sup
port.
| have always made it a point to stick
to facts as | know them, and state them
honestly, says the learned gentleman.
FOrsoothe! Did not a splendid occasion
present itself in which to manifest that spi-
rlt by correcting an erroneous statement
which would cause other we'll meaning
people to be led astray? But we are in
clined to believe that the attitude OF 81
Ience maintained, was IL order that the
League to which he had promised his
"W~holehearted support, should labor
under false impression, so far as he was
concerned, and that at an opportuned time
take advantage to cast reflection upon
it.
Concluding, the writer asserts that to
his mind and the mind of the majority
of the population more harm than good

GAME AT THIRD AND ADAMS.
"Jack McDonouah's Nine Will Take on
Ncighborhood Team and Some Game
Is Due.

Things will be lively tomorrow after
noon ut the Third and Adams streets
field when Jack McDonough and his new
ly-organzed band of youngsters will play
the Neighborhood team. The team is
practically the City League team that
paraded through that circuit with q
record of eight straight victories, winning
the bunting of the league with ease. On
Saturday last the youngsters displayed
their class by downing Silverbrook by the
score of ) to 4. The game was never in
doubt until the ninth, when Silverbrook,
by sensational rally. managed to shove
four men across. 1t is likely that Marty
Walsh will get the pitching call. with
Maxwell or Pennock behind the plate.
Briscoe or Dougherty will twirl for Neigh
borhood with kavanaugh behind the stick.
The game will get under way at 3,15.
Manager Lannan's tribe of travellers
will be idle Saturday. but on Sunday they
will get in motion when they will journey
to Delaware City to play the team of that
place. The team has been greatly
strengthened when Manager McDonough
of the All-Wilmington League team turn
ed over Flo Forrest, How Creighton, Jack
Reeder, Mclaughlin, Mcbride and Joe
Tobin. Reilly, an outfielder, is another
new addition, which give the club one of
the hardest hitting teams in the city.
Either Magill or Dillon will do the hurl-
ing against the Canal boys, while Reeder
will most likely perform behind the plate.

be filed by a coming star, Lee Kirk, who is
tearing things up between second and

CARPENTER MAY
NOT MEET DEMPSEY
Paris Critic Says French Champs
Health is Below Par and Doubts
Fight With American.

According TO the New York Times to-
day Georges Carpenters health will not
permit him to meet Dempsey. The Times
article follows:
The state of Georges Carpenters
health, which is rlimorcd in Paris 10 be
far below what it WAS before the war,
is causing some concern TO boxing critics
in the French capital, according to a
letter received in the United States from
the critic Of Boxe and Boxers, a Paris
inn sports journal. This man, who is an
intimate friend Of tho French idol and
hrs known him since childhood, declares
that CARPENTER has lost one inch In all
his measurements since the war, In
which the boxer served as an aviator.
The terrific strain involved In the air
combat and the injuries sustained by
Carpenter ARE said 10 have been drain
on his vitality, especially at this time
when the French champion is attempt
ing to bring himself back To fighting trim.
According TO this friend Of Carpenter,
there has been an incessant runor In
Paris that Carpenter Will never meet
Jack Dempsey In a ring II WAS not To
meet Dempsey but 10 stage triiimphal
tour through the United States that the
trip 10 this country was arranged, ac-
cording 10 the Partisan rtirnors. In some
parts of Paris, the letter continues, 1t is
believed that Carpenticr, in his present
condition, would be choppIng block for
Dempsey and that, unless the French
man recovers his prewar strength and
vitality. be will never venture into the
squared circle with the hard-hitting
American champion.
Before Carpenter left for America,
this critic made an examination OF him
and said that the Frcnchman's face,
drawn and hagpard IN comparison with
what it was in olden days, indicated
TINT he wns losing strength and weight.
The critic e opinion is as follows:
ON my last visi, To Paris, which was
shortly after Carpenter left for Amer
,ca, ostensibly 70 fight Jack Dempsey.
| learned that there was an insistrnt
rumor that he would never fight Denp-
sey His manager, Descampe, and his
physician, realizing that he would never
recover his pre-war strength and health,
had decided the trip TO America TO he r
tour for money purposes only. At first
| placed little credence in such fool
story and simply wished deep in my
heart that Carpenter could come back
fast and strong as Re was before he
enlisted that memorable July, 1914. after
he fought and beat Gunboat Smith. If
not, his fight with Dempsey will be a
slaughter Being loyal Frenchman,
am afflicted by the thought"

SHIPLEY OUT OF GAME.

Seaford, July 16.-Ashby L. Shipley
Seaford's star baseball catcher, will be
out Of the game for at least month, the
result of an accident in the Seaford-
Centreville game of Tuesday.
He received badly split finger from
catching one of 'Dar' Culver's fast ones
with his bare hand. He was compelled
TO retire from the game. The loss Of
Shipley is a severe blow to the Seaford
baseball club, as he had developed into
one of the star backstops Of the peninsula
and his services were in demand, not only
on the home team, but In other peninsula
towns.
