New York. Oct. 5. Outpitchcd,
and outhit, utficldeJ and outgener
alled, the Giants, pennant possesion
of the Heydlcr circuit, were excelled
in every department of an errorless
game by the Yankees, American
league entry, in the annual base ball
classic this afternoon. If not out
classed collectively they were out
played individually excepting only
Frank Frisch, whose hitting and
fielding was the brightest feature of
tlie Giants' performance. And at that

was one of the outstanding stars of
the winner's offense. The score was
3 to 0.
Speculators Stuck.
The crowd, or lack of it, was some
thing of a froit and a rebuke to ex
cessive charges and to the Giants'
management, which is charged with
havinjr played into the hands of spec
ulator who. in manv instances, must
have been stuck with sheaves of
tickets. The gaping holes in the up-
ocr grandstand unreserved sections
attested also to the over-advertise-
tnent of the crush for seats and the
futility of llth-hour efforts to
squeeze into Brush stadium.
Mays Baffles Batters.
But on the other hand, in keep
ing with general predictions, were
the facts that Babe Ruth hit in the
first Yankee run, Frisch was the star
and George Kelly the bloomer of
the Giant attack and Carl May's un
derhand delirery completely baffled
the rank and file of the McGrawian
host.
The game Mays twirled in. Ins
distinctive, subway fashion, was one
ef the finest contributions of pitch
ing skill in the history of latter day
world's series Calm and calculating,
with almost perfect control and a
splendid appreciation of the batting
weaknesses of his opponents, Mays
bowled along-through the nine in
nings to a thoroughly merited shut
out victory. He finished off his per
formance no less strongly man pe
started, forcing Kellv to hit into a
double play for the final outs of the
sterling contest. r ;

Save for Frisch, who poled out
four clean hits, one a triple, in his
four trios to the plate. Mays held

William. Bates, who was arrested
in Council Bluffs on a rum-running
charge 'after an exciting chase by
Motorcycle Officer Bostedt Tuesday
night, waived preliminary hearing be
fore United States Commissioner
Byers yesterday and was ordered
held on $1,500 bail. ''
Bostedt suffered a fractured ankle
in the chase in which an eight-cyl
inder automobile eluded him for
sometime with numerous around-the-
block tourns. .
The driver of the car halted by
Bostedt escaped after being wounded
in the leg, according to the police
man. Detectives announced yester
day that .they 'were searchitig for
Patrick (Packey)Gaughan of Oma
ha as the driver of the car.
.Bates,, whose real name, accord
ing to Bluffs officers, is George
Baker, told State Agent Sumner
Knox that Bostedt .was the first man
to accost him. He declared his ma
chine drove straight west on Broad
way in Council Bluffs and had not
been chased. by the motorcycle of
ficer. .;
'This leads Knox to take up the
theory- there were. two eight-cylinder
cars of the same make hauling booze
through the Bluffs, that the first car
escaped and the second was caught
by Bostedt. " .
Knox received a telegram yester
day afternoon from Chicago stating
that lackey Gaughan nad purciiaseu
a ' new car there several days ago,
and. according to Knox, the numbers
registered for this car. are the same
as those of the confiscated ma
chine' ' , '
Knox believes Gaughan has ire-
turned to Chicago to .secure- mort

pected to surrender later..

Washington, Oct 5. (Special Tel
egram.) President Harding, who on

had been called to meet in Washing

Floor Leader Mondell today in a
statement the representative gave to
the press after his conference with
the president.
Mr. Mondell said that m his judg
ment congress should continue in
session until the program of legisla
tion now pendinar is disposed of. or
so far progressed as to insure its
completion "very early in the regular
session. He suggested tnat a breath

But adjournment during the meet

"The tax bill.' the ereneral ' tariff

"A measure extending the emer

Waihiiigton, Oct. 5. The tangle
in congress over tax revision legis
lation was given the attention of the
administration today at a succession
of conferences between President
Harding and senate and house lead
ers. Wh;;t position the president
may take regarding substitution of a
sales tax for the miscellaneous ex
cises in the pending bill was net dis
closed, those who saw Mr. Hsrding
declaring he was keeping an open
mind on the subject for the present.
Meantime groups in the senate
went forward with conferences on
the whole subject and opponents of
the pending measure continued their
assaults on it The democrats on
the finance committee put in their
minority report which declared the
bill "neither fulfills the promise of
the republican 'party for a simplifi
cation of tax law and procedure nor
satisfies the demand of the democrat
ic party for a complete survey of
existing taxes and their modification
and simplification."
LaFollette Joins Demos.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin,
a republican member of the finance
committee, also filed a minoriity
view, declaring he was tn general ac
cord with the democratic report in
so far as it criticized the "proposals
of the majority to reduce the super
taxes upon large individual incomes,
to repeal the excess profits tax and
the capital stock tax, to retain the
transportation taxes and to greatly
aggravate the existing disparity be
tween corporation and individuaand
partnership taxes."
He added, however, that lie felt the
recommendations of the minority,
would "do little more than palliate
some of the monstrous iniquities of
this bill, without curing- any of its
fundamental evils." .
."There is nothing to be gained
by the forced and. inconsiderate en
actment of the present bill," said
the minority report "The bill af
fords no relief to the country. There
will be no reduction . effective this
calendar ear nine months titer
the advent, to full power, of the party
which promised immediate relief
from oppressive war taxes. ' Prac
tically every change in the rates or
repeal of present taxes is postponed
until January 1, 19Z2, and the re
ductions made after January 1, 1922,
are to be . accomplished' through
promised cuts in expenditures that
may not materialize, with contingent
borrowings in that event as well as
certain borrowings to pay the $170,
000,000 estimated to meet savings
stamps and Pittnian Act redemp
tions and expenditures.
Rap Republicans.
"The. purpose of the republican
majority seems to have been cen
tered upon the exemption . of mil
lionaires from the higher surtaxes
and the exemption of corporate in
terests and monopolies from the pay
ment of proper taxes upon inordi
nate profits. In pursuit of this pur
pose, the committee has divided the
income taxpayers of the country into
two classes: Those who have incomes
greater than $66,000 a year and those
who have incomes, less than $66,000
a, year. . ,
"There are 11,077 millionaires in
the first class and 5,321,683 people
m the second class. The committee,
in its solicitud lex wealth , has
accorded these -11,077 millionaires
very substantial relief by the repeal
of the higher brackets of the sur
taxes while the 5,321,683 ordinary
taxpayers have been given no sub
stantial relief.

U. S. Loose From Organiza

Opposes Ratification.
Washington, . Oct. 5. The peace
treaties with Germany, Austria and
Hungary- were before the senate all
day, with a speech of six hourrs by
Senator Shephard, democrat, Texas,
in opposition to' ratification and an
address by Senator Moses' of New
Hampshire, a republican, "irreconcil
able" in favor-of the treaties.
Senator Shephard . discussed pro
ceedings of the. league of nations,
which,, be, declared. the ' United
States should join' and Senator Moses
in favoring ratification, declared the
treaties were the "consummation of
the struggle to maintain tha inde
pendence of the United States."
"It cuts us loose at once and I
hope forever," said Senator Moses,
"from that body of death known as
the league of nations."
He opposed American representa
tion on the allied reparations com
mission although, he said, it was no
secret that Secretary Hughes fa
vored such representation. He added,
however,- that he did not share the
fears expressed by- Senator Borah,
of Idaho, another republican irre
concilable, that the treaties would
force the United : States into the
league.
" "I can see no reason why any ir
reconcilable should -withhold his as
sent to its ratification," he said.
Senator Shephard declared "the
only, honorable - course for this na
tion is "to . ratify the treaty of
Versailles and join the league of na
tions." The league, he added, had
already, justified its existance.
"I cannot vote ;,fodi any enact
ment,", he said, "in which once more
asserting our isolation from the
league, we "emphasize our desertion
