The month of September has been home to many historical events over the years. Here is a look at some that helped to shape the world in September 1924.

On Sept. 2, Negro National League President Rube Foster announced the first Negro World Series would be played in October. Foster announced the series would feature the champion of his league and the champion of the Eastern Colored League.

John Dillinger, who was ultimately identified as the mastermind behind a gang accused of robbing 24 banks and four police stations, attempted to rob a grocery store in Indiana on Sept. 6. The attempt marked Dillinger’s first attempt at a major crime, but he and his accomplice were quickly apprehended and sent to jail.

Twenty people, including four police officers, were killed during a gun battle in the American territory of Hawaii on Sept. 9. The Hanapepe massacre stemmed from a dispute among striking workers at the McBryde sugar plantation on the island of Kauai.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Jim Bottomley set a major league record when he drove in 12 runs in a nine-inning game on Sept. 16.

On Sept. 18, the United States military occupation of the Dominican Republic ended after more than eight years.

Joseph Stalin ordered the arrest of Alexander Krasnoshchyokov on Sept. 19. Krasnoshchyokov was the first prominent Bolshevik to be arrested under the leadership of Stalin, who ultimately allowed Krasnoshchyokov to rejoin the government in 1925. That second chance proved to be somewhat brief — Stalin ordered Krasnoshchyokov’s execution in 1937.
