Dear Sir :- ‘Allow me space in your paper to say these few words: While reading your paper of yesterday’s date, [ came aecross a correspondence written by Mr. Joseph Thomas, Capt. of the Neptune Crirket Club, making some most ignorant statements about the re- sult of the match played on Monday last on the Holger Danske Ground hetween his Club and the Christiansted Cricket Club. - - Now concerning the decision made by the two Captains that these two men from the Invincible will play until the other two men that was to play turned up then went aheai plaving, any how one did ST CRO AN L and when he asked for his game it'was decided by the said Captain of the N. C. C. that he will play with the same men that he started to olay with, so what blind excuses he is making now. In the first innings the N. C. C. went - to bat first and they scored 100 runs, ~ while the C. C. C. only scored 98, and ~ the two men that he is speaking about also played in the first innings, that did - satisfy him, when his club won by two ~runs, in the first innings but in the sec- ~ ond innings they scored 17 runs while ~ the two men that he is speaking about .~ went to the wickets first and scored 27 runs nqt out,leaving ten more wickets . to fall, and from the time that happened . he along with his men got disgusted and | stopped the game, and he started to ar- | gue, so the public in general will see | that he is to be faulted. Concerning the decision between him- | self and the Capt: of the C. C. C. that . they made a few days before the match, ! | knows nothing about that, but 1 am | basing on what I heard for myself on that | day, so if the Captain of the C. C. C. | ean’t defend himself in the papers as a . man he ought to be fired from being Cap- ' tain of said Club and I hope the next | time he will understand himself wha- ' he is about to do. i As I don’t want to have no argument ! with any one coneerning Cricket, I con- ' sider the matter closed, but before, doing i so, I will ask the Hon. Capt. of the C. C. I C to play the N. C. C. the return match as soon as possible with his own men, so I if your Club gains the victory over them ' he won’t have no rubbish to talk about. [ am finish, quite finish, and if this is to . be answered again by the Captain of the - N. C. C. Ijwill leave him to fight with . the dogs running along on the public t B'reets 'T'hanking you for space, Mr. Editor, f [ am, | Respecttully, A REPORTER. | [ELEGRAMS. | ST. CROIX STA LION. | St. Lucia, Sept. 4th.—The Hon. james ~ Stanley, the newly appointed Attorney- ~ QGeneral, arrived and assumed duties. | New York, Sept. 3rd.—Finanecial and commercial interests with important connections in Brazil were= without ad- vices today regarding the latest condi- tions in that country. Little surprise was expressed, however, at report of further unsettlement there, exchange rates having moved cteadily against Bra- zil in the market for a long time. London, Sept. 3rd.-—Financial circles have received a report that a powerful group of American Bankers, headed by J. P. Morgan, has concluded arrange- ment with the Freneh Minister of Win ance iaat half of Franee's share of the loan by the United Scates is to be liqui- dated by a new loan. To facilitate ne- gotiation, it is said, France will shortly ship to the United States 200,000 francs in gold. ; _ Constantinople, Sept. 3rd.—Mustapha Kemal Pasha, leader of the Turkish Nationalist forces, is reported to be feeling that his efforts to hold out until the November rains block the roads and give him respite during the winter are becoming impossible. He is said to have lost hope of receiving immediate Bolshevist aid and lacks artillery with which to fight the Greeks, his troops be- ing dispirited. It is anticipated here that he will flee rather than surrender. At the same time it is forecasted that the rew cabinet to be named here will lean towards the Nationalists so that the Sul- tan’s Govt may be accepted throughout Turkey. The Nationalists are going on to this end. Montreal, Sept. 4th.—''Enviableis that teacher in Jewish life who serves in any pulpit under the British flag’’, said Rev. Dr. Wise, Rabbi of the Free Synagogue, New Yeork, in his address at the temple * Emanuel here at the introduction of Rabbi Merritt, as pastor of the synagogue. He added that the British flag had been a leved symbol of the Jewish people for centuries. Belfast, Sept. 4th.—The Thermasen coast guard station near Waterford was blown up yesterday by a party of armed and masked men. Before destroying the station the raiders disarmed the two men in charge. Large quantities of arms have been s:ized by raiders at various poirits in the region of Waterford. A motorecar in which Mr. MeConville was carrying 1,300 pounds to pay the wages of-factory workers was heid up by arm- ed men near Banbridge yesterday. The assailants took the money from him and threw him down an embankment. They shot and killed the dr.ver of the car and escaped with their booly. London, Sept. 4th.—Great Britzir 1s well on her way to re-gain the commer- cial positiois which she held before the war says the Offic al Summary issued by the American Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber bases its opinion on the J ly returns received by. the Board of Trade which makes the best showing since the war, Great Britain’s advese trade balance being reduced to 8,000,000 pounds, says the Chamber statements. Some industries are facing a slump and urnemployment was rising slightly at the end of July. It adds, however, that the depression 1s thought to be only tem- porary as the world is still bhadly in need of goods and the re-adjustment of prices wili increase the demands. Among the unfavourable “factors men- tioned apart from the thr:atened mi- ners’ strike is the decrease in many lines of .export to the United States by which sterling exchange is kept down. Morg,-ovc-r the rise on cost of living has continued notably as regards bread.
