Description

The US Trade Information Bulletin for 1925 contains a report by the US vice-consul in Fort De France saying "Baseball is scarcely known in Martinique and was witnessed for the first time on the island when the American sailors from off the United States battleships calling at Fort-de-France gave a few exhibition games on the "savane" in 1919."

Martinique is an overseas possession of France.
