SSASO h
The Crusaders yesterday
crushed the CHS Dodgers
baseball team 1872 on Parade
Ground in their first meeting
yesterday.
Many baseball fans were dis
appointed at the poor showing
made by the Dodgers; having
failed to play with the same
perfection as they did before
the League started.
Totals for Crusaders are 10
runs II hits and l error and 9
men left on base. Dodgers: 2
runs, 5 hits, 8 errors and / man
left on base.

In his testimony before a
Joint committee of the House

for the Virgin Islands, the Gov
ernor presented statistics to
show that many U. S. terrific

far less than the VirginIslands.
He showed, for example, that
Arizona had a delegate in Con-
gress when its population was
only 1900; that Indiana had
one with a population of but
o,OOO. There is therefore moth
ing extraordinary in allowing
territory with 10000 people
to have a representative in Con
gress, the Governor said.

would favor restricting candi-
dates for the Office of resident
commissioner, if it is created.
to residents Of the ". l., the
Governor said he would leave
that question up to the voters,
though he anticipated that the
people would prefer a local

Governor HASTE reviewed
his testimony before the SEN

was at this meeting that Sen.
Butler agreed to drop his bill
to provide for a joint resident
