BY GARRETT WATERS

Pitching is going to win the
pennant for the Washington
Griffmen if such a pennant is
going to be won this year, 1t
has been definitely decided upon
by Manager Walter johnson, who
still figures his team has a good
chance to overcome the AS and
cop that old gonfalon.
eyes, sir, pitching is the
thing that will do the trick"
is the way Walter sizes things
up. "And if our mOundsmen
can only keep up their good
work we'll be up ON top to
stay before long,"
Viewing the situation in this
manner at this stage of the race
is a timely idea, is the thought.
For the Washington ball club
seems to have everything else
when it comes to winning games.
The local hurting corps has
held up wonderfully we'll so far
this season. True, it has not seen
Crowder click or Hadley pitch in
the form known of him, but
games have been won by sheer
manipulation of the starters and
finisherS.
Fred Marberry has been big
help when everything is consid,
cred. And Bobby Burke and Carl
Fischer have flashed excellently
whenever called upon.
HadIey Rallies
The bright thing about the
present moment is the depend
able way Irving Hadley has raj
lied to the cause in Marberry's
absence. The big pitcher has
turned in some nice relief work
in the last week or so, something
that is a revelation to every man
ager directing a big league ball
club.
1t might seem rather odd to
talk so earnestly about the
Washington hurlerS right now
with Connie Mack's day in and
day out pitchers such as Grove,
Earnshaw and Walberg working
so easily and so powerfully.
But there is not every club in
the league that has a trio as
polished as the Philadelphia
three, who can work every day
whether it is in a starting role
or a finishing effort.
The AS certainly are fortunate
to have that trio. And Connie
Mack is thanking his stars daily
also wondering how long they
will be able to keep up their
"iron man" work.
The Griffmen, incidentally, open
a long home stay here today
when they entertain the New
York Yankees in a double-header
at Griffith's Stadium beginning
at 1870 o'clock.
Western Clubs Invade
The Yanks will be here for foul
games all told, single contests
being booked for both tomorrow
and Monday. The slender Bobby
Burke and Sam Jones will do the
pitching this afternoon while
| Lefty Brown is slated for tomor

company. Every means of reducing
the wages of the workers and de-
creasing their skilled was made use

Six Company, Dea Chong, a militant
worker is now held at Angel Island,

a direct result of the activities Of the
N. A. A. G. P. leaders and the 10
cal preachers under their influence
who, for days before the An-South-

visiting churches and organizations
in an attempt to terrorize the work

defense of the boys. In many cases
they threatened workers with arrest
if they dared to support the united
front fight to stop the legal lynching
Of the inc boys.
This latest outrage against the de-
Tense and the lives Of the nine boys,
far from soaring away the masses
from the fight to save the boys, will
only serve to further enrage the white

End Week of Campaign
For $4,000. Finds 10
Districts MOtiOnleSS

The eleventh day of the Cam
paign for $4,000 finds practically
every District In the country with
the exception of New York and Chi
cagO at virtual standstill. 1t Is an
interesting commentary on the ex-
tent of District responsibility, to
the Daily Worker, when out of a
total amount raised, as of June list,
of $5,426.O2-S4,621.O9 of this amount
was sent in by New York and Chi
cagO alone. 1t is necessary to report
that the other 16 districts combined,
subscribed SSO4.93, as of June LIST.
What is the matter with the Dis
tricts? Aren't they sufficiently
aware of the financial state of the
Daily Worker, that makes immediate
income of funds imperative to its
survival? Must New York and Chi
cago do everything and the others
nothing? The Daily Worker is ap-
parently read in every state in the
union. Why should funds to sup
port the Daily, not be coming from
every state in the union in which
there is q District or Section head
quarters.

Why is District 5, Pittsburgh,

For eleven days we have been wait

Dear Comrades;

This is no collateral in the eyes of
these paraSitical bankers.
Bankers Help Landlords.
This is not all isolated case, but
most of the share troopers over the
whole irrigated tract here of 100000
acres are in the same or even worse
condition. The bankers are helping
the big landlords and not the real
producers,
The local newspapers are full Of
propaganda about Soviet dumping"
and forced labor" They lie so
much that the people are beginning
to say: ct don't believe the Russians

Worker to point out their lies and
why they lie.
Although the papers and Governor
c. Ben Ross spout hypocrisy about
maintaining high wages and high
commodity scales, both wages and
commodity prices are being cut more
and more.
Farm Pay Cut.
On the farms where workers were
previously paid from $50 to $50 a
month, $40 to $35 is now the wage
scale-most of the workers getting
$50 q month.
I keep passing the Daily Worker
around here and you would be sur
prised at the way lot of the fell
lows have changed. They are talk
ing about the Soviet Union. We are
going to try and get an organization
started here soon--a branch Of the

happen to their pay envelopes this
coming year if there was a crop
failure. The pay of most of the
teachers has been cut, as has also
the pay of the postmasters and post

Many of the school teachers have
had to take discounts in cashing

school districts have been depleted
for lack of taxes coming in.
In addition to the generally low
economic tone of the entire country,
the threatened drouth and crop fall
ure of this locality is worrying the
small town bankers and financiers,
who are going about publishing re-
ports about the sound conditions Of
their banks and even having laws
passed prohibiting talk of bank fail

of the bankers are anxiously assur-
