Monte has been idling these
past few weeks because of sore
arm and shoulder, which has been
painful, to say the least. But in
the meantime he's undergone
treatments every day, given by
none other than Trainer Mike
Martin, and encouragingly to say.
they've helped a great deal, al
though the former 1882 sensation
hasn't appeared on the mound
once since that aforementioned
June date when he beat the Bos-
ton Red Sox, to 3.
Last Saturday, when the Griffs
played the st. Louis Browns in
the first game of this current
series, Monte took a long workout
before the contest under the
watchful eye of Manager Cronin.
He warmed up fully Is minutes
and gave Cronin every promise
that he was in shape again.
Therefore, the young pilots plan
to start him in one of the trays
against the Chicago White Sox.
Another hurler may get start
ing chance in the White Sox
series, according to Cronin. He is
Jack Russell, who continues to
look every day as if he is truly
ready and rarin' to become one of
the best pitchers on the team.
Saturday Cronin gave him a
short relief assignment in the
opener against the Browns. His
curve worked so we'll that the
Browns went down one, two, three
before they could hardly catch
their breathS.
Moe Berg, who was behind the
bat in this particular instance,
remarked after the game that he
had never before seen Russell
with so much Zip" on the ball.
"His curve not only broke
plenty" reported Moe. "but it had
an uncanny hop, which snapped
in almost before I could catch
it myself. The boy surely looks
good"
The Griffs open in Chicago
Wednesday as per the schedule.
Tomorrow an exhibition game will
be played at Milwaukee against
the Milwaukee Brewers to take
up the time that otherwise would
serve as an off-day. Manager
Cronin's men play the final con-
test of their series against the
Browns today, Lefty Walter Stew
art being due to face Dick Coff-
man, Wally Stewart or Sam Gray.
At Chicago the Griffs will be
facing a team really ready at all
times to hand the opposition a
battle. The Fonseca team lost
Saturday to the New York
Yankees and once again in the
first game of a double-header
yesterday, but broke away and
gained a victory in the nightcap
when that fighting spirit the club
possesses showed to its best.
And So-ooo-oo, the GriffS will
need every bit of good pitching,

No Balm to Peck

OF course zone of these
things could have made Peck
feel very friendly toward Fer
rell and if Ferrell is guilty of
either breach of tactics. the best
that can be said for him is that
his loyalty was at question.
If he didn';5 like Deck and
couldn't work for him, the best
way out would have been to tell
his employ rs he'd like to be
traded because he didn't feel he
could give his best under Peck'S
management.
However, when Ferrell is re-
ported to have made the state
ment last year Mccarthy was
the best manager in the league
he nAAy have said something
which could boomerang back
on him this year. It so happens
that kls new boss, Walter john
son, WaS also managing an
American League ball club
when Ferrell was credited with
his extremely broad statement.
low what does that make
Mccarthy this year and this
month-still the best manager
in the American League, Walter
johnson not excepted?
It is just possible that Fer
rell will take a saner view of
things under the tutelage Of
Walter Johnson. They both
have pit.l. RS minds and
should be in accord along many
lines.
johnson saw Ferrell beat st.
Louis the first day he arrived
in Cleveland, June 10, Wesley
himself getting home run and
the victory breaking a five
game losing streak for the
Indians.
That incident should cement
a pretty fast friendship between
Yves and Walter and you can
look for them to get along.
The Washington times., 1933-06-19

BroadduS' chief rival is Norman
Smith, District indoor high board
titlist in 1892. Smith flashes his
best form under pressure. He won
his championship two years ago
against the .stiffest competition
in the city, with Broaddus taking
third place. Last year Broaddus
won over Smith by a small mar
gin. Only j. E. Wilson of the
other entries has had high board
experience.
Though Onalene Lawrence is
the champion, and enjoys some
thing of a reputation along the
Atlantic Coast, Marie Duvall,
young feminine sensation of last
year, is conceded a slight edge
over her for tonight'S diving lau-
relS. with Lois Bates, a star diver
locally for several years, making
it a three-Way battle. Leonore
Taube, the only other contestant,
is also a strong contender.
Girls In Shape
Because the girls have been
able to keep in practice during
the winter season IN indoor tests,
the various swimming events for
women are expected to produce
interesting competition.
Particularly hard fought will
be the 120-yard free style. Rita
Augusterfer, National junior 220-
yard champion, is naturally the
favorite, but she will have to do
some speedy Water-cleaving to
beat Anabele Whaler to the tape.
Caroline Cox and Betty Kline
are also powerful performers over
the longer route.
Lois Bates, D. C. indoor 50-yard
backstroke title-holder, looms as
the 60-yard victor, with Leonore
Taube providing the stiffest oppo-
sition. Caroline Cox, 50-yard free
style queen, will have to outspeed
Betty Kline in the 50-yard free
style.
In the mems events, George
Croft made quite name for him
self on the University of Penn
sylvania swimming team and
looks like an easy winner in the
60-yard free style. He is in far
better condition than any of the
other entrants, besides being a
talented norman. Vincent Gomez
will force him to good time, pos
sibly a new pool record.
3-Cornered Fight
Thornton Burns and Lorenzo
Snyder battle for first honors in
the 120-yard free style and a
three-cornered fight is in the
offing between Knox Moncure,
Kinsler, of G. w., and Arnold
Wilcox, former Yale U. wizard, in
the 120-yard breast stroke.
No District records are at stake
as the pool measures 30 yards
across, five yards more than regu-
lation. All the pool marks are
in peril in the women events,
however, with the likelihood of
one or two falling as the mascu-
line performers vie for supremacy.

Incidentally johnson is the
twelfth manager to pilot the
Cleveland club since it's organi-

McAleer, who later came to
Washington as the local leader.
Bill Armour followed McAleer
and got along under the Kill
foyl ownership until midseason
1904, when he was replaced by
the colorful Napoleon Lajoie.
The best Lajoie could do with
the Forest City aggregation
was to land it in second place
in 1908 and the following year
the team fell all to pieces.

so Workers at Meeting
Form James Matthews
Branch of L.S.N.R.

NEW YORK "A decision to hold a
public trial of "all officials respon-
sible, directly or indirectly, for the
murder of James Matthews on We'll
fare Island" was reached at a meet
ing held last night in Lafayette Hall,
131st ST., near Seventh Ave, under
the auspices of the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights.
Fifty workers at the meeting
Of the L.S.N.R.
The public trial which will call to
account those responsible for the
Staying of the young North Carolina
Negro is set for October Is, but the
hall in which the trial is to be held
has not yet been selected.
Not only will Tammany officials be
called upon to testify in this, but all
other principals in the case will be
invited to be present, it is announced.
These include Mark Shahian, eye
witness to the Matthews murder
whose affidavit describing the killing
was first published in the Daily
Worker; Edward Kuntz, International
Labor Defense attorney, who repre-
sented Shahian in the Investigation"
which the District Attorneys office
claims it conducted; John L. Spivak,
special Daily Worker reporter, who
barred the details of the murder OF
Matthews, and others.
After continued delly, assistant
U. s. District Attorney Jacob j. Ros-
enblum yesterday informed Attorney
Kuntz that he and his chief, Harold
z. Medalie, would finally see Shahian
on Monday and quiz him about his
knowledge of the operation Of an &C
tive narcotic ring on Welfare Island
Shahian charges that this dope ring
involves prison officials and guards
at the island
1t is also expected that the COM
mittee in charge Of the public trial
will call Rev. A. Clayton Powell, Jr,
who last week barred the use Of the
Abyssinian Baptist Church Of which
he is pastor for a rrotest meeting
against the Welfare Island murder.
The arrangements committee is
holding a meeting to perfect plans
this Sunday morning in the office OF
the Harlem Liberator, 2149 Seventh
Ave.
It has already been indicated that
in addition to the mass public trial on
the Matthews case, a concerted effort
will be made to canvass all candidates
for the Republican, Democratic and
Socialist parties in an effort to force
them to take definite stand on the
case and on Negro persecution and
discrimination in New York. Alder
men will be approached with the re-
auest that they introduce and support
resolutions denouncing the killing of
Matthews and demanding action
against those responsible for the
murder.

Two More Slipper
Shops Sign Up
With Shoe Union

NEW YORK.-The Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union
registered victory yesterday when
two important slipper shops settled
with the union. The settled shops
are the Star Slipper Co., 500 Broad
way, and the Pacific Slipper Co., at
II Waverly Place. These shops are
the key shops in the Slipper Man
ufacturers' Association.
AS a result of the settlement. the
workers will receive 35 per cent in
crease in wages. Three more Broad
way shops have called for settlements
and more gains for the workers are
expected before the week is over.
The National Shoe Workers Assn,
with no membership in New York, is
entering the field of the striking
shops and slipper and stitchdown
workers. Smith, we'll known stool
pigeon, who, on several occasions sold
out the workers whom he presumably
represented, conferred with the bosses
of the Edmore Slipper Co. as to how
he can most effectively demoralize
the crew and get them into the shop
under his scab union. Smith visited
the chairman at home and proposed
a plan to break the strike.
The chairman turned down his pro-
posals and exposed Smith and the
Nationals role in the strike, to the
crew. The strike committee and the
crew have decided to counter-act the
proposal by intensifying their fight
and uniting their ranks. After, the
report the crew formed mass picket
line in front of their shop. The two
police who were on duty did not in
terfere with the large demonstration.
The SLWIU has elected a delega-
ton to the anti-war conference. Fred

ton, which consists of worker of
each department of the union. Greta

MILLS TODAY
Picketing to Thwart
Attempt to Start

PATERSON, N. J., Sept. 28.-The
manufacturers prepared today to
open all mills with strike breakers
while the workers, under the lead
ership of the National Textile Work
ers Union modified to keep all mills
closed with mass picket lines.
While the General Dye Strike Com
mittee and the NTWU was organizing
to defeat this biggest strike break
ing effort since the strike began, the
United Textile Workers Union, affil-
lated to the A. F. of L. was negotiat-
ing secretly with the Mayor and Mof-
fit and manufacturers and with the
Chamber of Commerce, preparing
another sell-out.
1t was revealed today that the As
sociated Silk (UTW) has already set
tied the strike individually with three
Ribbon Weaving Mills and sent the
workers in these mills back to work
under individual agreement. They
are trying to do the same thing with
the jacquard strike. This policy of
the UTW leaders in the Associated
Silk has weakening effect on the
general strike and the workers were
not consulted before these mills were
settled.
Conferences are now going on Gith

ISOLATED Silk, and the Chamber Of
Commerce and Mayor Hitchcliff are

ing in front of the Textile Dye Com
pany plant, which, it is rumored, will
try to open tomorrow morning. When
Johnnie Elan ordered the AFL pick
cts to leave, the ALL members re-
fused and picketed together with the
NTWU, demonstrating their solidar-
ity.
The AFL Dyers Local 1873, UTw. de-
manded the removal Of Moffit, U. s.
Labor Conciliator for the ''haphazard
method with which he handled the
settlement" The manufacturers also
are satisfied with him. A committee
of SIS clergymen, called the Committee
of Social Action, has been formed as
another strike breaking body. This
committee, together with the repub-
lican candidate for Mayor, Heather
ington, telesraphed the demand that
Roosevelt and Watner negotiate a
settlement.
On Saturday morning there, will be
