TheDonble FaceofMr. Borders,
Misleader of Unemployed
Claims Credit for Victory Which He Tried IN Prea,ent

We let our opponents put things
over on us"
WELL, we are proud and glad and
w the working class of Chicago is
also glad that the membership of
the Chicago Workers Committee on
Unemployment did not carry the
orders of Mr.. Borders to split the
movement, and the membership,
whom Mr. Borders calls enemies"
defeated the aims to split the move
ment. No wonder, then, that Mr..
Borders, in the same New From
tier" declared that membership in
the Unemployed Councils or any
other organization whose aims are
entirely inconsistent with the aims
of the Chicago Workers Commit
tee on Unemployment should bar
these people from membership in
our organization" This shows fear
of the masses, fear of the workers.
This fear is so pronounced through
the whole line of Borders paper
and speeches everywhere, and we
are not surprised.
WORKERS LEARNED
WHO ARE THEIR FRIENDS
The Chicago workers learned
through experience whom they can
trust and whom not to trust and
they learned not to trust Mr.. Karl
Borders And, while we are dis
cussing this question, it would be
worth while also to bring few
other facts to light. Mr.. Borders
elected himself chairman of the
National Executive Committee of
the so-called Federation of I'm
employed Workers League and in
the platform of this organization
they declare: THE Federation
takes a non-partisan political
stand"
So here we are. Mr.. Borders be-
comes the exponent of the policy
OF the officialdom of the A. F. OF l..
But while he speaks that his Or
SHAAACGOAOAl " NC AlO4A- Pal blDtAlls
this however does not correspond
with the article Mr.. Karl Borders
wrote in No. of the Unemployed"
in which he states that in the last
elections the Chicago Workers
Committee on Unemployment was
modified to collect signatures on
petitions of the Farmer Labor
Party and the Socialist Party. So
we see the double face of Mr.. Bor-
ders, on more than one occasion.
AND finally, another example of
II the policies of social-fascist
Musteites in the unemployment
movement. Mr.. Karl Borders is a
staunch supporter of Music and
the Musteites controlled, relatively
speaking, a broad organization of
unemployed in Seattle, Washington,
SO broad, that with their support,
the Musteites were able to elect

BY BILL GEBERT

THE New York papers carried an
interview with Karl Borders,
the social-faSciSt leader heading
the Chicago Workers Committee
on Unemployment. In this inter-
view, Mr.. Borders claims that the
Cook County Hunger March on Oc-
tober 31st, which defeated the so
per cent cut in relief, was put over
by Mr.. Borders Chicago Workers
Committee on Unemployment. Such
a lie Mr. Borders can spread in
New York, feeling that the work
ers in New York do not know the
real facts of the situation. But
the workers of Chicago know bet
ter. They know not only the
words, but the deeds of Mr.. Karl
Borders, and his deeds in the Chi
cago Hunger March on Oct. 31st
were that of attempting to split
the united front conference.
He was not successful, thanks to
the militancy of the membership
of the Chicago Workers Commit
tee on Unemployment, which could
not stand for the policy of Mr..
Borders. Here are the facts.
AFTER the Cook County United
n Front Conference, at which $50
organizations we're represented by
700 delegates, and at which de-
cision was made for Cook County
Hunger March, through the loop
to the city hall, Mr.. Karl Borders,
on Oct. 21st, sent a letter to the
Socialist Party, Workers League,
Committee on Unemployment and
other organizations controlled by
social-fascist leaders. In this let
ter Mr.. Borders declared eve
simply cannot allow the various
groups holding our point of view
to drop out (of the United
Front-GB) in a disordered
route" And further he declares:
that caucus be held of the peo-
pie he sent the letter to in which
decisions to be made as TO "our
relations to the March on the 31st."
Karl Borders thus organized a
caucus of a handful of social-fas-
cist leaders in an attempt to split
the movement. He was not sue
cessful only because, in addition to
the social-fascist leaders, a num-
Der of workers from the branches
and committees of the organiza-
tons came and motion to with
draw from the Cook County Hun
ger March at the caucus meeting
of the Borders clique on Oct. 25th,
held at the Chicago Commons, was
defeated by vote of IA against
the split and 10 for the split. (The
Chicago City Committee of the IN
employed Councils is in possession
of letter from which the above
quotations have been made, and
also has a statement from the
workers who were present at the
Borders caucus meeting on Oct.
25thl.
THESE facts are important and
! show clearly the role Of MIR.
Borders as the one who attempted
TO defeat the united action of the
unemployed. In whose interest?
In the interest of the bosses. Here
we see very clearly the role of the
sociat-fascist leaders, which was de-
feated because the membership did

Show Bat Punch
The Griffs showed some OF
their batting punch which has
characterized their games re-
Gently when they put it to work
on all cylinders yesterday against
the Milwaukee Brewers at Mil
Waukee.
Overcoming a to 0 lead, Man
ager Cronin and his men batted
two Milwaukee pitchers to sub
mission, finally ending up IA to
10 to the good. Monte Weaver,
as mentioned earlier in this yarn,
began on the mound for the Gritts
but retired from the box after the
second inning. Bobby Burke fin
ished out the string and was ex-
cellent in the pincheS, the Brew
ers having man after man lett on
the base paths.
More than 1000 fans turned
out to 60 Fred Schultz honor, Fred
having begun his baseball career
in Milwaukee, but Fred could not
deliver the Semblance Of a hit to
please his admirers. Instead, Cliff
Bolton and Dave Harris took the
hitting honorS with homerS apiece,
besides other timely bingles. Bob
Boken also hit a homer.

Practically No Flukes

Came the Sunday double
header, washington winning by
the ridiculous score of IA to l,
and then submitting to one of
those annoying little 3-to-2 de-
feats. a game which really never
should have been dropped had
major league ball obtained
throughout for us.
Swallowing that uncalled-for
defeat, the Griff Monday fur
ther asserted their unquestion-
able power by registering an
other lop-Sided victory of 10 to
4 over the Browns.
What we mean to point out
Is that while coming from six
games behind, Washington's re-
cent low, there has been moth
ing fluky about our victories;
most of them not even been
close and the two defeats being
only by hair lines.
Therefore our conclusion, and
answer to one and all is that
with the pitching during the
last two weeks more nearly bal
ancing the hitting for the first
time since the campaign open
ed, there is EVERY reason to
believe the club can KEEP UP
THE GOOD WORK.

Drills Worth While
They were tough days, those
practice sessions, but the efforts
of the performers are standing
the team in good stead now, and
just at a time when smart base
ball can be used as we'll as the
powerful type, such as extra base
hitting and alright pitching.
The Griffs, in Chicago for the
next four days for an important
series with the Chicago White
Sox, hope to continue their high
geared base running in the four
games scheduled. No doubt it will
be kept up as the performers have
caught the idea and spirit of the
thing now and this fact promises
to gain the Griffs the pennant
yet-if only those Yankees will
continue to drop games now and
then when those losses hurt them
most.

ROSE PERFORMS
ON DIAMOND
AGAIN

Louie Rose, former Smithfield
jewel, is back in the harness again.
Rose patrols right field for the
Occidental Restaurant nine, a
member of the newly organized
District Independent League. Louie
Louie claims he's in excellent fet-
tie although much heavier (Weigh-
ing more than 200 poundS) and a
few years older. The big out
fielder, who never had any trou-
BILE giving the ball a ride, still pos
sesses that ability.
Players on Team
Besides Rose, the team numbers
Joe Harrison, Red Rhodes, Sarge"
Wilson, Norman Grey, Bob Lilly,
Vincent Marino, Barnett, Don Bag

Harrison is known for his bowl

to deadlock the game.
The Washington times., 1933-06-21

The pitching staff has had to-
work overtime to reach the best
condition. The batsmen have had
to strive earnestly to strike a
dangerous stride, while the gen.
eral play of the team has had to
adjust itself to the Importance
of "going" like a club should go
when fighting for the pennant.
Needless to say the Griffs have
"cut loose" on all of these neceS-
sary things to become the danger
GUS contender they are at the
present stage of the compaign.
Still there has been one other
item that has helped in more
ways than one since the opening
of the season way back in April.
1t is base running.
Yep, Manager Cronin's team
has done a great bit of base
sprinting this season, and it's
helped plenty as many instances
will bring out.
New Item
This item is something new,
for the team as seldom before in
it's history has it run the bases
with such dash and dare as dur
ing this current campaign.
"The boys are taking more
liberties than before, it's true"
Manager Joe CrOnin admits,
"and it's helped make us all the
more aggressive. not to mention
the fact it's aided us to win
more games than one.
"Take the st. Louis series as
the most recent example," con-
tinued CrOnin. "We stole more
bases and ran out more hits
from first to third than we sell
dom have before, the result
being livelier play, increased in
centive to bat the runners
across after they had gotten
into scoring position, and OppOr-
tunities galore where those same
opportunities would not have
prevailed had not most every
man taken the chance to "get
an extra base in the pinch"

this sort of ball now days, are
prospering by all the practice they
engaged in during the spring G
training season. when hours and

ALUMNI PRAISE,
DEPLORE c. j.
ATHLETICS

NEW YORK, June 81. Jack
Hagerty, Georgetown football
coach, told a gathering of Blue
and Gray alumni last night that
Georgetown will have one good
team on the field next fall, but
that if injury overcame any Of
his first team, disaster would be
imminent because the reserve sup
ply was low. Hagerty declared IA
letter men had been lost through
graduation and that at spring
practice but three freshmen re-
ported.
The tone of the dinner, an an
nual affair of the Society of the
New York Alumni of Georgetown,
alternated tWiXt praise for the COL
lege's policy at present.
A stirring appeal for resumption
of football rivalry wi.n the Uni
verSity of Virginia was made by
Frank Gargan, former George
town coach, he also deploring the
system which makes it necessary
for Georgetown to go to Buffalo
to Canisius on Sundays.
That Georgetown is not so dead
athletically as SuppoSe was
vounched for by the Rev. Vincent
Hart, S. j., who asked the alumni
to be reasonable. He predicted
that Georgetown would have its
greatest basketball team next
year and that its golfers would
be of championship caliber. He
was able to promise that within
the not too distant future George
town would be athletically what
the alumni wished it to be.

A Wide Advantage

The next day the Griffs
turned back the Red Sox by
2 to 2, a comfortable enough
advantage.
Their following victory over
the Red Sox was by only 7 to 5
and is the only false chord in
our theory that when the Griffs
have won it has been over
whelmingly and when they lost
1t was by but slim margins.
Examine the score of the
Sunday game here with the
Mackmen. It was 13 to g.
not even close.
A day off was enjoyed by
both clubs and then the Griffs
won handily from Philadelphia
by 10 to 6 before hiking west
for a couple of exhibition tilts
and the opening foray with st.
Louis.
In the Mound City, the first
thing the local club did was to
set down the Browns by 10 to
8, giving no faithful follower of
Washington's fortunes any,

And Monte'S test could be put
down as not such an impressive
one, as the Brewers socked his Of
ferings to all corners of the lot
during his two-ihning stay on the
mound to take a 6-to-O lead.
However, one item is certain
about Monte at this important
stage of the campaign. He says
he feels none the worse for his eff
forts, even though he was not ef-
fective, and even goes so far as to
contend he'll be all right when
ever Manager Cronin desires to
give him a starting shot in regu-
lar game in the future.
81 know didn't look so good
out there" Monte confessed,
"but my arm feels great, there's
hardly a bit of soreness in my
shoulder, and I think I'm ready
to go again."
TO KEEP HIM IDLE
And if Monte says it is so, it
must be so. But it is Manager
Cronin's plan to keep the veteran
under wraps a little longer before
giving him that starting chance
in a regular game again.
"There'S no use rushing him,
especially when he only worked
two innings in the Milwaukee
game" said CrOnin today.
Therefore, 1 believe it best to
give him a couple more days
of workouts before actually put
ting him to a test thatll really
be a test when he finally
pitches in a regular game"
Cronin plans pitching Earl
Whitehill, Gen. Alvin Crowder.
Jack Russell and Alphonse
Thomas in this White Sox series,
he intimated today. Naturally
he's hoping that each of these
hurlers will be able to go the
route without the aid of help.
If such does not happen to come
about, Bill McAfee, the old re-
liable, will get first call as rescue
man, with Bobby Burke and
Walter Stewart ready for all
other emergency duties. The lat
