ton. Lonk flies that would go for extra bases in other parks are rou- tine out at Bees field because of its vastness. And the Bees play 77 games at home.
 Pitching has been one of the an- swers to the clubs rise. Clutch distinguishing when hits count is another. Tony Cuccinello (.299) has been head man in this particu- lar department. Gene Moore (.28D is next. Vice DiMaggio (.228) has been doing his share of run-produc- ing. In fact, the three have batted in one-third of the 32S runs scored by the club this year. Gil English (.308), who has played 37 games, rates with Moore as dangerous clutch hitter.
 Defensive strength is another big factor in the Bees phenomenal rise. They rate second only to the league

Indians. Senators Got Only Three Hits Between Them
July s7, 1915. at Washington

July g, 1915, at Washington CThis is the American League con- test in which the fewest hits were made)
 washington defeated Cleveland, l to o, in nine innings, the former getting two hits of Hagerman. while the Indians got only three of Gall lie. All were singles.
 This feat tied the American league record made by Detroit and Washington, June 10, 1913. when the Tigers gathered two singles and the Senators one. However, two games have been played in the National league in which fewer hits have been made by both contestants.
 Gallia and Hagerman staged a beautiful duel, and had not the Senators scored in the first round on Clyde Milan's clean steal of home. it is questionable just how many ciphers Gallia and Hagerman would have dished out before being scored upon.
 nly two Indians reached base of Gallia, Turner hitting safely in the eighth, and Southworth walking in the ninth. Neither advanced past first base.
 Milan singled in the first inning and went to third on Hagerman's error of Shanks' grounder, from where he stole home on Hagerman, catching him completely of his guard. Henry singled in the second inning, after which Hagerman did not allow Q hit.
 Gallia walked but one batter, while Hagerman issued three passes.

SUICIDE SQUAD
 JUST FAILS IN
 GREAT ATTEMPT
Push Mine to Near Idzumo Whe Lookout
 Gives Alarm
EXPLOSION QUICKLY
 FOLLOWS IN RIVER
Defense Line Rushed by In- fantry-Turned Back in
 Terrific Slaughter

SHANGHAI, Sept. 29.--A daring Suicide Squad of 20 Chinese soldiers sacrificed their lives at dawn today in desperate attempt that just failed to destroy the Japanese flag ship Idzumo, as the mine they propelled through the Whangpoo Rived blasted a l50-foot geyser of water that sprayed the battleship with shrapnel.
 Immediately the entire water front battle lines northwest of the city crashed into the inferno of war and the Chinese declared that the long awaited Japanese big push on the Shanghai front had begun. Invaders Hurled Back
 Chinese troops manning the de- fense lines stretching % miles northwest of the city, hurled back wave after wave of attacking Jap- anese infantry with terrific slaugh- ter.
 The blast of the mine, few hundred yards north of the star board side of the flagship rocked the Idzumo and the cruiser Aug usta, hurling officers and sailors out of their hunks.
 Suicide Squad Starts During the night the suicide squad, some swimming and some using sampans, gradually floated the mine from the Pootung shore, across the river from Shanghai, through the line of Japanese pa- trol boats.
 Mine Set Off
 A Japanese lookout on the ship spotted the suicide squad which was about ready to push the mine through the steel net that sur rounded the ship.
 Chinese comra rades on shore touched off the mine, destroying the squad and ripping a wide hole in the steel net.

 On December 24, 1865, six men o the disbanded Confederate Arm! met in the law office of Judg, Thomas M. Jones in small bricl building at Pulaski, Tenn.
 One of the six, Captain John c Lester, proposed a club to dispe gloom over the defeat of the South It was proposed that the name should be "Kuklos," Greek for banc or circle. Someone suggested Ku Klux, and Lester said: Let's ado Klan to this we're all Scotch Irish" That name was adopted.
 Even Horses Wear Sheets
 That night the Klansmen dis guised in sheets, their horses also covered with sheets, rode through town frightening negroes. Members saw in this organization a weapon against negroes and against carpet baggers from the North.
 A year later in ruined house outside Pulaski the Klan really was born, in it's first important con- clave.
 A delegation was sent to General Robert E. Lee in Virginia but while he is supposed to have given the Klan his blessing, he refused to join.
 General Nathan Bedford Forrest Southern cavalry hero, became Grand Wizard" in convention at Nashville, May, 1867, and Klansmen in full regalia paraded in Athens, Ala, and Pulaski.
 Acts of Violence Start
 Acts of violence in the South by men in Klan regalia followed. Pub lie sentiment was aroused against Klan. Tennessee Legislature passed an anti-KKK statute in 1868 Trials of Klan members held in Alabama and South Carolina ended in non- convictions.
 But lawlessness attributed to Klan was factor in it's decline, begin ming in 1869. The Congressional investigation of 1871-72 also hit it hard. By 1873, XXX was syn onym for the most sinister and dangerous forces in American life" (outside the South, according to Prof. John Moffatt Macklin of Dartmouth. Then for almost half a century XXX was in eclipse.
 Revived in 1915 In 1915 William Joseph Simmons (tall, thin-lipped, spectacledD had dreamed of a new Klan to take in all sections on credo of basic Amer icanism."
 On October 16, 1915 he and 34 associates signed a petition for a charter. Petition was granted.
 On Thanksgiving night, 1915, Klan gathered under blazing torch or Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Ga. Continued on Page Two)

LoYALIsT STAINS OFFER

Now that involved only a matter of a couple of million dollars, not much in comparison to what the war ultimately cost. But Britain at that time thought seriously about owing us $2,000O00. Yet when the stop order landed in New England there was a cry of indignation. The company had spent much cash already making machinery, and to stop would mean loss of a nice prof it.
 Moreover, other manufacturers began looking askance at such acti- yities and wondered if this busi- ness of selling to belligerents was such fat oyster as it first ap- peared. It was a critical moment. as documentary evidence found by the Senate Committee disclosed. England finally came across with full payment for the order as proof of her desire to do right by the outfits from which she expected to- buy her shot and shell.
 Now this isn'e an exact parallel, but fresh in the news is the offer of the Spanish Loyalist govern ment to begin paying at once the defaulted claims of Spanish com panies which owed $30,000,000 to $50 ,00000 to American merchants on pre-revolutionary business. Gen ial Miles M. Sherover. representa- tive of the Spanish government in settling the claims, didn't mince matters. He said the negotiations were undertaken now to convince the world the Loyalist government didn't share the communistic disre- gard for private property.

Propaganda Being Circulated
 M U. s. m Various Ways to
 Get Nation m Foreign Wars
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.--If you wake up one of these mornings with a desire to fight the Japanese, or to shoot your Chinese laundry man or even in send some money to help fight the war in Spain don't be surprised. Somebody is try ing to make you feel that way. Attempts being made to propa- grandize the country by one side or another in the two current wars are as evident as dent in fender. It is a favorite failing of Americans to want to mix in when the slug ging starts and enither of the bel- ligerents can be blamed if they try to get us to slugging on their side
 During the World War the culti- vation of the noble American sem timent began early. So early did it begin that some of the sirenlike ging starts and neither of the bel- gestures were not even recognized ganda until 20 years after the war, when the Senate Munitions Com mittee looked under the carpet.
 There were the matter of rifles, The British Government ordered 80,000 good fighting rifles from a New England gunnery concern and paid down a starter of cash to per- init the plant to set up the special machinery to make them. A few months rolled by, the Germans roll- ed across the Rhine and the amaz- ed British discovered that not ri- fles but machine guns were needed to stop them. So they wrote over to J. P Morgan and Company, their fiscal agents, to cancel the order for rifles.
