Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 10. Ia a base
ball gamt erupting sensational, unique
and thrilling play - far beyond the
wildest dreams of an imaginative fiction
or scenario writer, the Cleveland Ameri
cans defeated the Brooklyn Nationals,
n to 1, in the fifth eoateet of the World's
Series here this afternoon. An unassist
ed triple play by William Wsmbsganos,
a native bora ana of Cleveland, and
homo runs by Elmer Smith and Jim
- Bagby were a trio of Individual feats
on the brains rf the fans ., which ao
fnture diamond battle eaa erase.
The victory broke the. tie existing
between the pennant winners of the
two major league and tonight Cleve
land is confident that the first American
League pennant jver wen by this city
will be overshadowed by the great glory

Sherrod 8atltn Only Hope.
The Brooklyn Bobins crushed by
the two terrible catastrophes of Batur
C3, ' and today, are clinging desperately
to the hope that Sherrod Smith may be
able to check the savage-batting
enslaugh' of the Indian, bat the home
team and funs declare that nothing can
'atop" the rush ef the 'Clevelandera now
that they have solved the mystery of
the Flstbusa hurling staff.
' aathered front the fact that the world's
records were established daring the
hectic hoar and C3 minutes in which
the tribe of Speaker tore great haadfuls
of ploaiage from the stunned and help
leas Bobins. Never ia the history of
the World's Series had a. triple play
been made by one player and so seldom
hits this baseball feat been aeeom
ilahed in the history of either major
or minor leagues that each-and every
such play Is familiar to thousands of
fans. ;
Homer With Baeea rail.
A home run with the bases full la
also an innovation in the modern
history "of... the super -series, yet - both
thess records were - made at League
Park here this afternoon, with a see
vad home run, four doable plays and
a score of other fielding and batting
features which would have been ac
claimed as thrilling during the course
of a normal world s conflict .
There wae something uncannily local
about Wambsgansa triple 'play. The
Indians' second basemaa was torn, ia
Cleveland ia 14, and after learning
the fundamentals of the national game
at Concordia College, entered the pro
fessional baseball ranks. After a com
paratively short period of; minor league
experience with the Cedar Bapids club
of the Central Association, he came to
the local teans ia 1914 and has tlnee
beea a fixture with the Indfins. That
a, native-born ball player of Cleveland
should have made such aa unusual end
infrequent play ia a coincidence, and
that a previous similar play should hnV I
beea made ia the same park elevenX
years ago savors ox something beyond
coincidence. ;
But eleven times ia the reeorda of
the-American pastime has aa unassisted,
triple play beea accomplished, if the
- annals of baseball eaa be relied on.
Of these feats but two were prsvoiusly
scored ia the major leagues. : ,
Beeall Neal Ball's Feat
It was Neal Ball of the Cleveland
club of 1909 who awept three opposing
payers oat oa a similar handling Of
the bait Ia that year during the gams
betweea the Boston Bed Sox and the
Indians, played ea July 19, Stahl was
on first aad Wagner on second with
MeConaeU at bat, whea Ball accom
plished the play which ia the dream of
-every fielder ia the game. .
. Hew Wamy Did It.
Today the stag setting was much the
same. Both Kilduff.aad Miller had
singled to centre ia tura at the begin
ning . of the fifth inning aad were
perched on seeoad and first, Respectively,
whea Pitcher Mitchell came to bat. The
Brooklyn hurler, who had previously re
'lievtd Grimes in the box, drove a hoi
liner high and to the left ot seeoad
base. Wambsgaass leaped inte the air
aad came dowa with the ball clutched
ia the gloved hand, for the fraction
of a seeoad he appeared to hesitate and
it looked aa though the play would take
the usual course of a force out. Whea
Wamby realised the golden fielding op
portunity that confronted him and be
fore the startled spectators eonld grasp
the plsy, he had sprinted to second and,
stepping oa the canvas nag, eumiaateu
Kilduff, who was wen oa his wsy to
third.' Miller was tearing down to the
' mid-way sack under the belief that the
hit was aa absolutely safe one, and it
wss a comparatively easy matter for
Wambsgansa to rua up the base line

Cold Blooded Misrepresenta

' out a Parallel
GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY .
TO SUPPRESS THE FACTS
Transcript of Notes of PresL
dent's Paris Speech Shows,
He Never Took Position as
Claimed by Senators Spen
cer and Eeed; Said League
- Would Prevent Aggressions
The News and Observer Bureau,
s03 District National Bank Bldg.
(By Special Leased Wire.) .
Washington, Oct lO.-It ia believed
that in cold blooded misrepresentation,
vilification, distortion and suppression
of truth the present campaign is with
out a parallel in the entire history of
American politics. Democrats - from
every section ef the North and West
who come to Washington are charging
that the Republican managers and the
Republican press have entered into a
gigantie conspiracy to prevent the Amer
ican people from getting the other side
of the campaign. . Wherever suppres
sion cannot be practiced outright mis
construction and misrepresentation are
resorted to. ; Ths most notable example
at this moment is the controversy raised
by the charge of Senator Spencer of
Missouri that ths President at the eighth
plenary session of the peace confer
ence said to Premier. Bratiane of Bu
mania 1 "You must not forget that it ia force
which is the final guarantee of peace.
If the world is again troubled the
United States will send to this side of
the ocean ita army and its fleet,"
Makes Prompt Denial.
President Wilson denied ever having
made such a statement as eoon as he
saw the report in the press. Ths Re
publican Senator from Missouri being
branded by the President of the United
States with having told a falsehood,
retorted that he got the statement from
Senator Bead's speech on .the floor of
the Senate. The President then replied
that hs would lave the question of verac
ity : between the Senator and himself
to be settled by the voters of Missouri.
Ea said this beea ass hs had ne copy
of is peeh before the peooe confer
once whose eighth session waa held in
secret '
But it now appears that the official
American stenographer, whs made a
copy of the Presidents speech oa that
occasion, aaw the report of the speech
ef Senator Spencer. The stenographer's
asms is P. A. Carlson, and he resides at
1101 Ashland Block, Chicago. Mr. Carl
son immediately consulted his shorthand
notes to see if he could find any such
language as the Be publican Senator
charged the President with having ut
tered. .
Mr. Carlson translated his notes and
sent his report of what the President
actually did say to ths President's offi
cial stenographer at the White House.
That report will be given to the public
in the afternoon papers tomorrow. Only
one or two statements can be made in
advaaee concerning . that report
Whea it was received at the
White Bouse, and carefully scanned
there waa aa exclamation of joy.
Secretary Tumulty told ths newspaper
men he hoped not a minute would be
loat in giving it to the public and other
ofllclale there said that it would com
pletely refute the charge made by
8enstor Spencer. ,
Mr, Carlson in sending his transcript
Mid he would be willing to mnke aa
sffidsvit as to its correctness. Mr.
Carlson was in the American Expe
ditionary Force, and after demobilisa
tion, was engaged ss an official stenog
rapher attached to the American dele
gation at Paris. He was promoted to
take charge of all the stenographic
rscords of the American commission.
Had Lssgae Ia Mind.
It wss said that a reading of the trans
cript furnished by Mr. Csrlson will
show that while the President's remark
about the employment of United States
military and naval forces - to help
European nations might, taken by itself,
Indicate that he had promised such aid
the context of the speech will demon
strate that he hsd in minonly that, if
in certain contingencies, as the one men
tioned, the League of Nations would b
in a position to call npon the United
States to aid a nation which was threat
ened by unjust aggression.
The importance of ths Csrlson trans
cript lies in the fact that it ia a direct
transcript of stenographic notes taken
In English as delivered by the Presi
dent The-evidence heretofore avail
able, upon which Senator Spencer bssed
his charge, consists of a French trans
lation of the President's alleged re
marks. Presumably the President's
speech was taken down in English
then translated into French and ths
transcript used in the country in con
nection with ' the Spemter incident
translated from ths French again into
English. -The possibility of error
through this course ia obvious.
No Betrsctlen Expected. - '
It is not supposed that ths publication
ot ths Carlson transcript will esuss
Ssnstor Spencer and--his Democratic
colleague, Senator Reed who made the
charge originally In speech in the
Senate on February 2, 1620 to with,
draw his aceasstioa against the Presi.
ddht The Bepublican claim ia certain
to be that-even if the context of the
speech shows that the President Indi
cated that American armed help to Bu
mania and Siberia eould be furnished
only ia certain contingencies and st
the request of the League of Najions,
the remsrk of ths President is a eoa
fessioa that ths League had the power
to require the United States to furnish
military aid to any nation which in ths
opinion of the League wu in danger
f aggrsssion. ' - ,

prehension of Parties That
Burned Several Gins and
Mercantile Establishments
in Alabama and Georgia ;
Many Warnings
Atlanta, Ga, Oct 10. Farmers ia
Northern Alabama, where several gin
neries and mercantile v establishments
have been fired recently, hare been
warned that if they attempt to pick
their cotton while the staple is selling
for less than forty cents a pound it
will be destroyed in the fields. This
new development in the attempts of
night riders to keep cotton off the mar
ket while it is bringing less than what
many planters term the cost of produc
tion, has been reported to Conrad W.
Austin, Alabama law enforcement offi
cer, by State Fire Marshal W. J. Wil
liams, who ia investigating fires ia the
HaneeviUe section.
Warnings which continue to be re
ceived by gin operators and business
men ordering them to close their estab
lishments have beea brought officially
the attention of the authorities and
the governors of several States have
received appeals for protection.
Offer ef Bewards Made.
Governor Kilby, of Alabama, has an
nounced that the State would pay a re
ward of $250 for the arrest and cob
vinction of any one implicated in the
destruction of property and the Morgan
county branch of the American Cotton
Association, at a meeting yeaterdsy ia
Albany, Tbted a reward of $200 for the
conviction of any tferion guilty of such
acts in Morgan county. ,
The night riders also have been active
in Georgia and the receipt by gin
operators at Toecoa of warning that
their plants would be destroyed if they
did not close down for sixty days has
resulted in the posting of armed guards
about their1 premises, with instructions
to shoot to kifl if an attempt is made
to cany ant the threat- '
V - Other Incendiary Efforts.
The American Cotton Oil. Company
and the city council of EUaville jointly
have offered a reward -of 0300 for the
arrest and conviction of persons who
attempted Friday night to fire the EUa
ville gin operated by the corporation.
In Jaaper county four gins and stores at
Farrar aad two fins at Broughton have
been poated. the night ridera threaten
ing to destroy them if they do not close
until cotton reaches forty cents.
Activities Widespread.
Activities of the night riders are wide
spread, warnings having been received
also in Texas, Arkansas and South Caro
lina. -Several gins in Texaa have been
destroyed after their owners had ignored
warnings to close down and gina ia An
derson county, South Carolina are
operating with armed guarda about the
plants. i - .
Authorities investigating the situation
say the threats and fires art the reault
of activities of local unorganized bands
only, notwithstand that warnings re
ceived in widespread localities bear the
signature of "The Black 75" and "The
Citixens of Everywhere."

Muskogee, Okla, Oct 10-"Hc thinks

of service to men, to women and to ehil
-Ten
first rand the accumulation or
erty as an incident to human life of
great value, but no of such value as
to have priority over life itself." Thus
does Senator Robert L. Owen,, of Okla
homa characterise CUveraor James M.
Cox, Democratic nominee for the presi
dency of ths United States.
Senator Owen, editor and lawyer, &
one of the best known authorities on
banking in ths entire country. It v
he who engineered the psassge of ths
Federal Beserve Aet and the Farm Loan
Act by the United Btates Senate. He has
for three terms represented his mate in
the United States Senate.
"It is not by the pledges of g man imme
diately before election that the country
may guBO a candidate. It is only by
his previous conduct, persisted in, that
yon eaa gunge a man justly aad fairly,
and on this basis, judging the future by
the past, Cox is entitled to' the support
of all the progressive elements in Amer
lea, and Harding ia entitled to the sup
port of all ths reactionary and ultra
conservative elementa in America.
''The contest between Cox and Hard
ing," stated ths Senator, "is a contest
betweea the progressive elements of ths
Nation and ths ultra-copservativs and
reactionary elements.
"Cox is a constructive progressire, and
Senator Harding is his antithesis.
"Whatever Cox believes in, Harding
will be round opposed to.
"If Cox is in favor of the League oa
any basis, Harding is against it; if Cox
believes in preserving ths prineipls of
the League of Nations and resiieeting
the sovereignty of Mexico; Harding will
be found against it.
"If Cox believes in a serious recoh
struetion program to put the United
States where it belongs as the gressest
producing country in the world. Hard'
ing will be found advocating policies
that will msks this difficult because
Harding will etsnd for ths high rates
of interest' Which are threatening an
inunfttrial depression in this country
the Bepublican platform eommemla
high rate of interest under the heading
''Bunking and Currency" and Harding
will bo heard talking about deflation
instead of stability with reasonably low
rate of interest.
"Although Senator Hnrding is dlscov
ering that it is necessary to raise the
tariff rates, which, of courser continued
Senator uwrn, "would make it more
difficult for Europe to pay its dobts to
Am cries with commodities, and they can
only pay with commodities. Senator
Harding can be relied upon to find
ways to favor ths special interests,
whils Cox will be found opposed to
pecial privileges. Why! Ask Lodge, and
Knox, and llninilegee, and fenrose.
' "My opinion is this country is two-
t in nit progressive, sna that Cox Is en
titled to be elected President of the
United States with a progressive Con
gress and Senate behind him, whether
the progressive wemtiers are all Dem
oerati'or not- because progressive Dem'
ocrats can work in complete accord with
nrngressire Kcnublirana.
"i have stated on the floor of the
