ORDER HAS GROWN RAPIDLY
Knights of Columbus but Forty Years Old and Already q Powerful
 Organization.

The Knights of Columbus was founded by the Rev. P. J. McGiv- ney, in 1882, in St. MaRy's parish, New Haven, Conn. From an origi- nal membership of eleven it grew from Gty to city in Connecticut, from state to state, and even be- yond the United States, until now its membership is more than SO0,- 00O, with members in Canada, New foundland, Mexico and Cuba. It has moro than 5000 conncils, many of which own their buildings. It is governed by state iurisdiction and supreme council composed of elected state representatives, while executive power is vested in 6 board of directors. There is an insurance feature connected with the order. Insurance of members now in force is nearly S25O,O0O,OO0. The order founded the first chair of American history in this country, at the Cath olic university, Washington, and it endowed the same university with $5OO,OOO for fifty new scholarships. The order first did war welfare work during the Spanish war. During 
 the World war it did extensive work both at home and abroad, and after the war financed chain of employ ment bureaus, finding work for nearly 500,000 former service men.

Eastern League Also Hit:
 Eastern League attendance figures thus far are below normal, including Bridgeport. With the possible ex- ception of Fitchburg, which absorbed the Worcester club and where league ball is a novelty at this stage Of the race and also in Albany, where the Lawmakers have awakened new en- thusiasm after two disastrous sea- sons, has the attendance reached any extraordinary marks.
 Bridgeport and New Haven has fairly good opening day crowds. but the Sunday audiences have fallen be- low expectations. The same can be said of Waterbury. Springfield and Hartford have also experienced slumps while the champion Hillies are re- ported to be holding their own. Per haps, the late Spring weather is part ly spccounta,pIe for the present situa- ton.
 But the majority of fans are hang ing to the idea that the admission prices are too high: The present rate in the Eastern League calls for the payment of S4 cents for a pew in the grandstand, and there's a healthy undercurrent of opinion demanding 50 cent rate.
 National League cIubowners are ser iously thinking of getting together on the question of prices and lower them to the pre-war level. In New York there is a demand for the. return of the l75 cents grandstand seat and the CIV York clubs may heed it.
 According to reports from the met ropolis there is going to be a special meeting of the National League early in June when the Western clubs come East. Then, the question of reduced prices will be threshed out.
 Should the New York clubs go back to the former grandstand rate of 75 cents the action will naturally force the Eastern and other minor league to act accordingly. As the pendulum swings in New York on baseball mat ters so goes the east Or, in other words, the Polo Grounds is q baro- meter.
 Whether the absence of Babe Ruth from the game has affected the Yan- kee attendance will soon be known. The test will come after May 20 when Ruth is slated to return to the game.

Bennett Or Bach
 Against Derbies

Either one or the other of Jack .Mack's crack southpaNS - Ben- nett or Bach-is likely to face the BridgeDOrtS tomorrow after noon when Eitchburg will pay it's first visit to Newfield Park this season. Bach and Bennett are rated as a pair of the craftiest 1eft-handerS in the Eastern and are well known to local fans. Either Bach or Bennett will go to Rochester next season as a result of the $S,OOO deal put through between Jack Mack and George StaIlings which sent Kenneth King to the upper New York State town. At the time of the deal it was announced that Rochester would have the pick of Bach or Bennett. First Baselnan Jerry Belanger is another one of Maclx'S players who will go to Rochester next season as part of the deal

H Starters
 Carded For
 Derby Race
PROBABLE STARTERS.

Louisville. Ky, May 13 - Eleven thoroughbreds, aristocrats of the American turf were carded to face the barrier at Churchill Downs toi day in the forty-eighth renewal of the Kentucky Derby, the great Amer@ jean classic. A record crowd of 6O,@ 900 will see the race.
 In the memory of those who have watched the big event during the last half century no year has boasted a field of greater prominence and never has @ colt faced the barrier with the degree of favOritism possessed by Morvich. The great Benjamin Block three-year-old today is called upon to show the calibre that brought him glory as a two-year-oldh T Among the other ten, for that is the way they were discussed last night in crowded hotel Hobbies and on thickly congested sidewalks. the B. R. Bradley entry loomed strong est when scurying clouds gave prom- fse of a fast track. Deadlock and My Play also ranked high in the approximations of thousands who expected to see the race. !
 Tests at high speed by practically every candidate put the finishing touches to training and today every entry, perhaps, with the exception of Busy American, ace of the Brad ley stable, stood ready to answer the final call.
