STAR HURLER
FAILS To
RETURN
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

The baseball outlook at George
town University turned dark when
"Packy" White. pitcher, and Bill
Rapp, infielder, withdrew from
the college recently, but the Hill
top diamond situation was only
further complicated by their de-
parture.
1t has been learned that Bill
Lomax. star right-handed mound
ace, did not return to school
last fall and this was a serious
blow to the Georgetown 1881
baseball prospects. AS a sopho-
more last year, LomaX won nine
straight games and was the only
undefeated pitcher in Eastern
college ranks.
Not Signed By Dodgers
1t has been reported that
Lomax is now located at Seton
Hall College, Orange, N. j.
where Red Smith, who coached
the Georgetown nine last year, is
athletic director 1t has also
been rumored (and many Hilltop
students believe the story that
three major clubs were hot on
the trail of Lomax, with Brook
lyn finally getting him.
However, a telegram from
David DriscoIl, business man.
ager of the Brooklyn Club,
spikes this yarn. DriscOll en-
phasized that LOmax had not
been signed by saying that
Brooklyn did not know him."
1t is also whispered about the
Hilltop that Emile Bozek and Bob
Brennan, star G. U. gridders, to-
gether with White and Rapp, will
enter Seton Hall.
Besides the loss of these bases
ball players, Georgetown also
must get along without Ralph
Mccarthy, last years captain and
centerfielder; Johnny Dunn, short
stop, and Paul Donovan and Jack
Tierney. catchers. Donovan, Tier
ney and Mccarthy were gradu-
ated last June while Dunn has
served his three years Of varsity
competition and hence is in,
eligible. The absence Of Rapp
may not be severe blow as
Walter Morris, captain and for
ward of the basketball team, al
ternated at third base with him
last year. Both are Washington
boys and both attended ST. Johns
here.
Pitching MainStays
The pitching mainstays will
! probably be Harry Noznesky, eff
fective southoaw, and Harold
Poole. a righthander 1t is de-
clared that Noznesky is major
league timber. Larry OToole and
Frank Orefice. reserve CatChers,
will probably do the bulk of the

Johnny Bozek will occupy frs.
base, with Captain Johnny Scalzl
holding forth at second base.
Frank Bauman has the first call
for Shortstop. He was used at
this spot when Johnny Dunn be
came injured last spring.
Bob Wholly and Johnny
Evers, son of the Boston Braves
scout, are the hOldOvers from
the Outfield, and both will likely
retain their positions.

the employers to withdraw their demands alto
gether
This shows the necessity Of the revolutionary
workers intensfying their work in the refornist
trade unions in order to destroy the influence of
the reformist bureaucracy, and to build up
powerful organizations on the platform of the
revolutionary trade union opposition.
Already it Is clear, that heavy economic -Strug-
giles confront the workers in many important
capitalist countries. AS the economic crisis
deepens in every capitalist country the line of
the capitalist attack is the same-wage reduc-
tons the speed-up, reduction of unemployment
benefits restriction of expenditure on essential
social services At this moment in England the
lockers builders miners, engineers, shipbuilders,
textile workers and employed are right in the
forefront of the attack. In Germany the metal
and textile workers and the miners stand on
the eve of big conflicts; in France there is
big textile conflict now taking place; in America
it is being made abundantly clear in all the
recent speeches of the capitalists - and more
significant still in the protest of Green, the
President of the American Federation of Labor
that there is being developed big attack on
the wages of the American workers
From these experiences it is clear that the
reformists will endeavour to stifle the resistance
of the workers and where they are compelled
in order to betray. This situation gives added
Importance to the question of strike preparation,
and to the successful carrying out of strike tao
tics and strategy.
This means. therefore, that every active work.
er, whatever his political association, has the
duty Of popularizng the necessity Of working
class solidarity and effective preparation for
meeting the attacks of the employers In this
work Of preparation, and when conflicts actually
break out, the Workers International Relief
takes on an ever increasingly important role
Its activities in recent years have been such as
10 strengthen the fighting power Of the workers
engaged in economic struggles and the very
success it has achieved has aroused the oppo-
sition of the reforrnist trade union leaders, who
has endeavored to create prejudice against the
W.IR. by labelling the W.IR. Communist
ganization. The W.IR. is absolutely non-Party.
1t helps in all economic struggles, whoever calls
them, whoever leads them. This has been clear
y' seen in England, where, when the reformists
headed strikes as in Bradford, South Wales and
Lancashire, the w. l. r. was, through its food
kitchens, its money collecting campaigns, and
so on able TO carry out tremendous task, even
when the reforrnist trade union leaders were

advising the workers to have nothing to do with
the WIR. and to repudiate it.
The WIR. helped the strikers in the unof-
fetal strikes in the case of Dawden and
Llwynypia miners strikes The WIR. played
tremendous role in the recent Berlin metal work
ers strike which was led by the refornnist trade
union officials, and it played an equally i'm
portant role in the Ruhr coal miners strike
when this was called under the direct leader
ship Of the revolutionary trade union opposition.
1t is precisely because of this non-Party char
acter that the WIR. in the coming period
takes on added importance, and must redouble
its activities and efforts to win the broadest
masses of workers irrespective of their political
associations, to support its work. 1t not only
developes solidarity and promotes actual mate
rial assistance but it is able to widen the poll
teal understanding Of the workers in regard to
the whole character of the present situation,
and from this there is tremendous strength
ering of the workers struggle based on clearer
political recognition of the character of the stu
alton and the tasks confronting the workers.
Because of the strike role of the re-
forrnist trade union leaders and because the w.
IR exists to help all struggles to win all
strikes it welcomes the work of the revolutionary
trade union opposition, because it recognize this
is the only means whereby the workers can dew
elop leadership and organization that will en-
able them to conduct the economic struggles
successfully. At the same time the WIR re-
mains absolutely non-Party, and independent of
any organizational relations with other move
ments conducting revolutionary activity in the
factories and trade unions. But it is necessary
in order that the work OF leading the economic
struggles should develop successfully, that the
closest cooperation should exist between all or
CARNATIONS that stand for the victory of the
workers in the economic struggles.
The coming World Congress of the WIZ in
October will give special attention TO the ex-
perepces and lessons gained by the WIR. in
past economic struggles, and in the meantime
it is necessary that the WIR. sections in every
country should intensity their activities develop
ing propaganda of mutual help and solidarity
between the workers of all countries, laying
firm financial basis for the building up of re-
lief work during economic struggles, and above
all. its supporters must in the factories and
reformist trade union organizations try to form
effective, functioning groups that will embrace
every worker who is anxious to see the workers
advance against the attacks OF the capitalists
and in the preparation Of their own offensive.

TFIE economic crisis and its consequent I'M
para1leled unemployment has in no way
damped down the fighting spirit Of the workers.
The attempts of the capitalists to impose the
full burden of the crisis upon the workers has
met with mighty resistance in every capitalist
country.
This is an important feature of the present
situation because on occasion it has been ar
gued that the workers we're not ready to fight
In period of mass unemployment: yet since
the economic crisis commenced in 1929 there
has been series of important economic strug-
giles in Germany, Poland, England, France,
America, Australia, India, Spain and the Latin
A~---'can Republics.
= are some important factors TO be noted
in connection with these struggles:
/. In all cases strikes have taken place in
spite of the opposition of the refornlist trade
union leaders Who when they have needed
strikers under mass pressure, have only done
SO in order TO betray them.
g. The unity of the unemployed workers in
the recent period there has been no single case
Of blackleggng either on national or inter
national scale.
8. The militancy and solidarity of the unor-
ganized workers working and fighting alongside
the organized.
T. The fighting spirit of the strikes during
the actual progress of the economic struggles.
Because of the economic crisis these strikes
assume political character in many cases. and
nave to be conducted against the whole forces
OF the capitalist state machine which is used
against the strikes with the full support Of the
reforn1ist trade union leaders.
Another new feature of the situation in many
countries, particularly in England, is the attempt
TO operate wage reductions through the medium
Of arbitration boards appointed by the Labor
Government in the case of this country where
as a result we have seen the wages of the tex
tile workers, railwaymen and miners consider
ably reduced
One or two facts in regard to the strike wave
in England in the recent period will show how
acute the situation is becoming.
1t is possible to draw some important lessons
from these economic struggles the most impor-
tant being that where the workers have devel-
oped their own independent forms of trade or
ganzation and leadership, they have been able
TO obtain considerable notifications of the cap
itaIist demands and, as in the case of the Lam
caahre textile workers conflict in the early part
Of this year, have actually succeeded in forcing
