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.

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. . .

OnONCOlRESS Cold Blooded Misrepresenta tion and Vilification With ' 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.

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.

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."
