organization and struggle of the Ne
gro masses in industry and on the
land. (:
Camp Hiil-A Beacon Light
In the actual penetration of the
Black Belt the events in Camp Hill
showed the tremendous revolutionary
possibilities involved in the struggle
of the tenant farmers and share CROP
pers against the tyranny Of the land
lords. There, as elsewhere, the Ne
gro lackeys of the boxsoe, especially
number of preachers, tried to break
the resistance of the choppers, with
the result that these worthless were
forced to seek other fields of &C
tivity. ,
The political and organizational
experiences of Camp Hill, the share
troopers struggle-must be applied to
our work of penetration of the Black
Belt. In connection with all our work
among the Negro masses there must
proceed the detailed, relentless ex-
posure of the infamous role of the
Negro capitalist elements whose job
today is to try to tie the Negro mass
es to the hunger and war machine
of American imperialism.
Settling Unrest In Black Belt
Our meagre experience already
shows us that the fight against i'm
perianst war will meet with response
from the Negro masses in important
industries. In the Black Belt we
must not hesitate to energetically
carry on the fight against imperiaist
war as an inseparable part of the
work of organizing the masses on the
land to struggle against starvation,
and, at the same time, organizing
definite separate anti-war acUions.
Throughout the whole Black Belt
there is seething unrest. In many
places, such as the Negro neighbor-
hoods near Camp Hill, the white rul-
ing class, their sheriffs and police,
dare not venture at night. The South
ern press maintains a conspiracy of
silence ON the many spontaneous and
very frequently individual outbursts
against the lynch terror of the white
ruling class. In such a situation
there are tremendous opportunities
for effective revolutionary work, cspe-
cially now in carrying on the fight
against imperialist war, directed
against the same ruling class that so
savagely enslaves, fortunes and
lynches Negro workers and farmers.
In the deepest South this struggle
against war will stimulate the move
ment toward the agrarian revolution,
the confiscation of the land of the
big landlords for the Negro and white
tenants and choppers, and for the
right of self-determination--a Negro
state in the Black Belt.

INJURY.
MAY FORCE
NURM| OUT
By TED SHIFTS

LOS ANGELES, July 14.-Ap-
parently unmindful of the storm
clouds gathering over his head,
Paavo Nurmi, heading the Fin
nish advance guard for the
Olympic Games here starting
July 80, today started preparation
for the 10000 meter run and the
marathon.
Nurmi refused to comment on
the question of his eligibility
which will come before the Inter
national Association of Amateur
Federations Council at it's meet
ing here July %.
Even if declared eligible Nurmi
probably would be unable to run
on account of injuries suffered
on shipboard, his trainers and
team mates said. Nurmi, they ex
planned. had been unable to do
much training on account Of an
injury to an achilles tendon, and
much uncertainty surrounded his
condition.
May Never Lift Ban
There is strong possibility
that the great distance runner
will not be allowed to compete in
the games, it was learned. He is
at present under suspension by
the international Federation, and
there is great likelihood that
this may never be lifted.
The bone of contention is the
matter of Nurmi's expense ac-
counts at recent European meets.
Several influential Central Eu-
ropean nations that played host
to Nur1ni on a recent barnstorm
ing trip have made formal protest
of irregularities.
This has come to the attention
of high I. A. A. F.. official and
WI" be laid by him personally be-
fore the I. A. A. F.. Council here.
The I. A. A. F. can reject Nurmi'S
entry for the games without fur
ther ado.
Although Finn ish officials
themselves refused to discuss the
matter. it was believed that Fin
land has no intention of with
drawing from the games even if
Nurmi is forbidden the privilege
of running.
The debate over Nurmi is
bound to be a bitter one, as Fin
land is anxious that its most
famous native son be given a
chance to wind up his Olympic
career by winning the priced
laurel wreath of the marathon.
Firms Workout
Meanwhile Nurmi and his IL
compatriots went about preparing
for the games with no show of
concern whatsoever in their earn
est, tanned faces.
The loss of Nurmi to the team
would not be as severe as might
be supposed, as there are numer-
Gus Finnish youngsters who have
challenged his records, and even
defeated him at times. Included
in this number we're LasSe Virta-
men, Lauri Lehitenen, Volmari
Iso-Hollo, Narri Larva, and Elmo
Purje. These were in the advance
group that arrived here with
NurIni.
The Washington times., 1932-07-14

For instance, Monte Weaver's
work. Three times this hurler has
been given starting assignments
recently and three times has he
delivered with victories-such as
yesterdays against the Chicago
White Sox in which he granted
six hits to win, Is to 4.
Yes sir, the pitching has been
better and it's the most important
reason why the GriffS are in a
winning streak which has reached
five straight games now.
Crowder, Thomas, Aide
General Alvin Crowder and
Tommy Thomas have been others
who have helped the club to win
lately besides Weaver. And Lefty
Lloyd Brown has been "in there"
even though he dropped his last
start to the Cleveland Indians in
the first game of that double
header last Saturday.
Yesterday marked the twelfth
time Weaver has been a winning
pitcher this season. Yes, the
Griffs hit behind him, but even
though the game was one-slded'
Weaver's performance was out
standing from a pitching stand
point because he was so good in
comparison to his bad games OF
last month when he was seem
ingly in the throes of terrible
slump. ,
After the Griffs had corralled
q very large lead, Monte let down
a bit in the later innings because
he did not have to be so stingy
with his offerings plateward.
The Sox scored all of their
runs during the last three in
nings, one in the seventh, two
in the eighth and one in the
ninth, to be exact. But the Griffs
well, sir. Just listen.
Seven Runs Decide
In the third Cronin hit two
singles; Kuhel, one; West and
Weaver, doubles, and ManuSh
a triple-all for seven big runS
Ted Lyons. formerly tough Gus
toner, was routed in this scoring
bee and to feature everything,
ManuSh's triple came with the
bases full.
Pat Caraway and Art Evans,
the latter a rookie left-hander,
saw Sox service before the game
ended. Both were hit exception
ally hard with eight more runs
being driven across the plate off
their offerings.
The Griffs c llected l6 hits all
told to bring out the encouraging
fact that they're willing to hit as
well as the pitchers are willing to
pitch.
and, oh yes, these same Griff-
men hope and plan to carry on
against the St. Louis Browns,
who begin four-game series here
today, and the Detroit Tigers,
who arrive next Monday for five
games in -four days.
May th4 be successful.

Mr.. Dickey Speaks

Bill Dickey, with 10 days to
think over his act in striking
Carl Reynolds here July 4, has
made some statements which
might be interesting to those
who are still arguing over the
matter. That the fans are yet
chewing the fat in the case of
Reynolds VS.. Dickey is indl-
Gated by the letters on the sub
ject which continue to come to
this desk, so today we offer Mr..
Dickey himself, in evidence:
"TO begin with" said Dickey,
81 am 2S sorry as anyone else
that Carl'S jaw was broken. 1
certainly didn't mean to do
that. But 1 believed at the
time, and believe right now,
that I had good cause to hit
him. Further, 1 believe that
any OtI er player on the club in
similar circumstances would
have done exactly as / did, and,
as you know, this club isn't
made up of rowdies and plug
uglieS eager to take q punch at
somebody.

First Fight in Game

"In my own behalf I would
like to point out that this is
the first time / ever was in
vOlved in a fight since 1 have
been in baseball. 1 never be-
fore punched another player or
had any intention Of doing so.
"NOw let me tell you exactly
how the thing came about.
Reynolds, having knocked Sewell
down at third base, was headed
for the plate, and / was set to
take a throw from Sewell. He
was running right in line with
the ball and / was trying to
catch it. 1 wasn't set to block
him, but was intent only on get
ting the ball. If he had slid the
play wouldn't have been close,
but he stayed up and the ball
hit him in the back. Still COM
ing in straight up, he hit me in
the chest with his shoulder and
knocked me down.
"He didn't touch the plate,
but ran by it, and then went
back to touch it. AS I got up
he was coming straight toward
me. 1 didn't have the ball
hadn't had 1t at al. 1 was
plenty mad and we walked
straight at each other. / didn't
say anything to him, but hauled

j. s. STANDOUT.
IN CHASE AND
FIELD EVENTS
By HARRY COSTELLO

By HARRY COSTELLO
Americas field performers and
her steeplechasers are expected
to give a fine account of them
selves in the Olympic games.
Before the Olympiad, however,
a number of excellent performers
must contend for positions on
the American team. The final
tryouts for these positions start
tomorrow at Palo Alto.
Today's form chart gives proven
performances in five of the semi
finals.
Odd For Americans
The hop-stepand-jump is rather
an odd event these days for
American athletes. Twenty years
ago it was quite common, and
was listed on a number of pro-
grams. Bowman. Casey, Furth
and Redd are closely matched,
although Bowman is generally
classified as the best of the
group.
Leo Sexton, former Georgetown
ace; Hugh Rhae, University of
Nebraska; Brix and Gray are
generally rated out in front. Be-
tween these four a merry battle
should take place. Sexton is
slightly favored.
Anderson and Jones, on past
performances, stand out in the
discus. Anderson is strong
favorite to take first place, with
Jones and Purma favored to take
second and third, respectively.
Weight Representatives
Exclusive of those listed in the
form chart as contestants in the
hammer throw, there are Pat
Mcdonald, New York City Police
lieutenant, and Jim McEachern,
of San Francisco. These two
should be up in there, both in
the hammer and in the 56-pound
weight event, which is not listed
IN the chart. Zaremba and John
son are two more to be consid-
cred, although neither is accepted
on the same basis as the giant
Mcdonald.
Nal Metcalf, Bartlett and Will
liamS, the latter a negro from
Hampton Institute, have con-
stantly been picked as Americas S
trio in the javelin. There are
others, not so well known, who
may furnish stiff competition.
Williams, it has been said, can
hurl the javelin as we'll as any
man in the world, but in compe-
tition he has failed to live up to
these specifications.
Steeplechase In Doubt
Regardless of the Americans who
gain places on the Olympic team
in the 5000 meters steeplechase,
they will find tough going in
the Olympiad. Lieut.. George
Lermond, of the United States
Army, is the only one accorded
any real chance against foreign
erS. although some contend that
McCluskey, of Fordham, may
improve enough to test Lermond
to the limit tomorrow and Sat
urday.
Taken by and large. America
seems well prepared in the dashes
and shorter distances, and in the
hurdles and field events. In the
distance events, another Ameri-
can, Leo Lermond, is carrying
the hopes of America. Invading
long distance runners seem to
outclasS Americans.
The Washington times., 1932-07-14

This change is not TO be taken
as a permanent one, Manager
johnson made it known this
morning. In fact, the plans call
for Harris and Rice alternating
from now on, or until the return
of the Griffs' regular right fielder
Carl Reynolds.
II am making this change be-
cause 1 think it will help the
attack of the team" was John
sons comment on the subject.
Harris, by no means, has failed
during his term as a regular,
but he has been in a decided
slump recently at bat when
facing righthanders. Rice can
hit this sort of pitching, and
therefore my reasons for Civ
ing Sam the call when these
hurIers face us. In regard to
the left-handerS, there's no
doubt Dave can hit them. and
he'll get all the chance in the
world to play whenever they
pitch against u.s."
And thus is given the --latest
dope on the right field situation
directing the clubs attention at
this stage of the race. It can be
said it's a mighty important situa
ton, too. because of Manager
Johnson's aim to get the best out
of his players during the winning
squirt now going on, if for nc
other reason.
Harris complete record since
entering the game as daily
player either in center field OF
right field reveals that he has
hit .282 in 13 contests. Included
in these figures are 13 hits in 46
trips to the plate.
Hit Well at First

outfielder's playing for his team

substituted for Sam West, who
hurt his side while running into
a fence at Philadelphia. Dave
actually became the "regular"
right fielder after Carl Reynolds
jaw was broken on July 4.
He hit at WhirlWind clip dur
ing his first few days as daily
performer, but the noted decline
was felt by both his team and
himself during the Cleveland series
which ended yesterday. His .282
batting figure includes his every
appearance from July 2 up to
yesterdays brief assignment from
the seventh inning on.
Hitting against left-handers
only for awhile should be just
the thing to bring Dave around
to normal again." was Man
ager JOhnsOn's added views this
morning. "At any rate the al
ternating plan with Rice in
the lineup against right
handlers, will be effected for a
few days in the idea of finding
how it will work out. OF course
Harris is the heavier hitter
than Rice, but until Dave has
shaken his slump I'm going to
stick to my plans which were
begun for the first time yester.
day."
1t will be interesting to watch
the efforts of these two players
during the next few days with
important games against the st.
Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers
on schedule. In conclusion, it's
good luck to both men, as they
can certainly be great helps to
the Griffs by delivering whether
they're in the game every day
or just every other day.

Historic Vasquez Rock, the mountain stronghold of Califof- nia's notorious bandit of the gold rush days, is used as a location for Ken Maynard's latest Tiffany western, Arizona Terror" which will be shown tonight only at the Coliseum theatre. S
 The group Of rocks is a natural collection of huge boulders, situat- ed some six miles from the high way which threads through Mint canyon on the way to the Mojave desert some 60 miles from Los Angeles.

 It is an impregnable natural fortress and in this retreat the bandit was able to elude his pur- suers or stand them off by force.
 One of the characters in eAri- zona Terror" is that of Vasquez himself. Although he was known to the authorities as ruthless road-agent, the Mexican popula- ton of Southern California adored the bandit for his Robin Hood qualities, as he robbed the rich and gave it to the poor.
