Tha rurfaway prison2r Man-man was caughtda ¥ brought back to the hospital yesterday a‘—' ernoon. CORRECTION. Our announcement in yesterday’s paper of a ‘‘refrain sesvice’’ in the Lutheran chureh, is corrected to read a reformation service. To the Editor of the Avis. Dear Sir:— There appeared in yesterday’s is- sue of your esteemed paper an article relative to the football team expected here on H. M. S. Constance. Among other things the writer drew attention to the victory secured by said team over the *‘Qt. Thomas Stars’’ which club he claims holds the championship of the Virgin Is- lands. This last assertion is wrong, and I am sure that the writer has been mis- informed on this point. The ‘St. Thomas Stars F. B. C.” does not hold the champi- onship offfthe V. 1,, they having been beaten by the ‘Dreadnoucht . b G’ of this town a few months ago, and although they made desperate atcempts to regain the lost laurels, their efforts were-futile, In fact there has been nothing for the past mo>lths around here that has p2en able to compate with the Dreadnought, and I challenge any one who kunows to refute this statemant. I would also like &) maation that the Dreadnought is preparinZ to tackle this British team, and if possible the match will b 2 played up here. Thanking you for space. Mr. Elitor, I am, Yours Respectively, JOS. RITZBERG, Christiansted, Nov. 1):h 1922, (The rating accordad rhe St. Thomas Stars is based on the fazr that of the six matches played against St. Croix teams this club scored outright victories in three, played two drawn gam>=s, and lost one to the Dreadnought b2ing also at a disadvantage on that occasion throuzh having only nine men in the field durinz the first half of the game and ten in the finish. We never said that a team f{rom H. M. S. Constance defeated the St Tnomas Stars. Ea.BTST. CROIX AVIS.) S LRVI V1 3 St. Thomas News This morning, the new Commander of the U. Q.

The Very Reverend Bishop Colmore Doctor of Divinity preached at both masses. The Rev. Father u.. ~“*< performed the duties of Master of Ceremonies. At the evening services 24 candles illuminated the High Altar and the Sacramnent was exposed. The Mess was a spiritual treat tc .he over-crowded Church. The ser- on of the evening was taken from the revelation of St. John; and His Lordship, who is a loud and eloquesnt speaker de- serves great praise for the spiritual les- son which can truly be termed an object lesson for all those who claim to be preachers of God and the Church Mili- tant—We will publish this sermon of ser- mons in a later issue for the judgement of Christian minded people. —lb:d.
