(By the Associated Press.) The New York Americans made World i Series history here today, shut ting out the Giants 3 to 0 in. the second game ot tne strug' tie. leaving the New York Na tionals runlesa after 18 innings of play in the first two days of the city clubs' conflict. They did it by lively work on the bases and the best possible use of their few hits, supported throurhout bv ' the brilliant twirling of Walte Hoyt, their young right-handed star. The srore was the same as in the first eame yesterday, Hoyt al lowing the Giants only two puny singles. Great Crowd Attend! Unlike the opening incountcr, today's gamo wit played before a crowd that taxed the capacity of the Tolo Grounds and let itself loose at frequent inter vals in lipping outbursts of enthusiasm. It had plenty to enthuse over, for the contest, while a pitchers" battle between Hoyt and Art Neft, who twirled itellar ball for tha Gianta, wa replete, with rattling plays and tense momenta. Possibly the thing that most en eouraged the followers of the Yankees looking forward to the ultimate out come of the aeries, was the splendid pitching by Hoyt, who hell the Giants to one hit np to the eighth. Never before has a world's series opened with two straight shutouts of the same eon tcstant. Airtight Pitching Ko airtight w;,s Hoyt's piching that the Giants never had more than four men at the plate in any one inning. The nearest they eame to the home base was in the ninth inning, when Frisch, with one down, singled to right and weni to second when Young was given a base on balls, lie waa on his wny home from second as a fast double play on Young and Kelly ended tne inning and the gmie. Tie only other n;aa t get to second was Nehf, who was given a base on balls and went down on an out. Rath as Bsse-Stesler Aside from Hoyt's marvelous twirl ing the game rceab-d "Babe" Huth ir a new role, that of the demon base stealer-a role that seemed just about as popular with the crow! as his familiar one rff ''Homo Run King." Th great "Bambino'- stole second and third in rapid soeeession in the fifth inning, and his clean pilfering of the far corner was greeted wi'h tho wildest demonstration of he serifs to date. At the bt Ruth's rcord was color less. He didn't once eonnert safely Nehf sppeared to pitch to him every time, but in trying to cut the corners succeede(rin issuing three pass to ths big fellow, much to the disgust of apparently the greater portion of the crowd. Ruth scored a run, ho ever, getting on the bases once through fielder's choice and finally tallying Mentel Steals Horn Ruth's has stealing feat was per formed late in the inning and did rot result ia a run.

He did not haVe to slide for it, either, for the pitch on which he tore in was wide and Karl Smith, the startled catcher, let it get sway from him for a passed ball. Frbck Aral' Star The Giant rootera got their cTianre again today to grow enthusiastic tnve r the playing of the remarkable Frank Prisch.

GOVERNOR PAROLES MAN IN RICHMOND Little Publicity Attends The Re lease of W. P. Ingram, of Rockingham Rockingham, Oct. 6. W. P. Ingram, nealthy Rockingham citizen convicted of retailing at the January, 1820, term of criminal court and sentenced to serve 12 months on the Richmond County roads, was paroled on tele graphic instructions from Governor Morrison on Thursday of last week. Ingram was able to secure stay of sen tence for 1.1 months after hit conviction through appeals to the Supreme court, nnd to both Governor Bickett and Gov ernor Murri-n, all of which wer de n'ed. He began serving the term imposed February M, li21, after Governor Mor rison had decline dto interfere with the judgment of the court. On account of his health, it is said, Ingram was shown special favors on the ehaingang, being made a trusty and givena job of carrying water to the oth er prisoners. He waa allowed to use his own autonnbile in transporting the water. "He is a very largo man, weigh ing pounds, lie had undergone an operatiou prior to his iricarcenratlon. Following the denial of his appeal to the Supremo court for a new trial on December, 11L'U, Ingram appealed to Governor Bickett for stay of sentence on the ground that ho was desperately ill. He attended the Moriison inaugural on January 1-, and shortly thereafter r&ade application fr pardon. The Gov ernor denied the petition, and directed that Ingram be sent to the roaJs. No notice of application for parole or pardon had been published in the local papers, othr than the formal no tice of petition published when the orig inal appeal was uiado to the Governor. Ingram, who is worth upwarda of JoO, OOO is at his home here. No announcement of the paroling of Ingram was given out at the Executive Otliecs hero when the parole waa grant ed, and the first intimation of the re lease of the man came from Rocking ham yesterday. The case has been fol lowed with considerable interest here, because of the vigorous measures adapted by the prisoner to avoid serv ice of the sentence upon him. Gover nor Morrison when asked sbout the Korkingham dispatch last night eon firuied the fact that Ingram bad been given hia liberty. "He was a criminal and ought to have been sent to the roads," the Governor added, "but I think that in viow of his physical condition, nnd the fact that he hat served a 1 but ithout two months of his sentence, after deducting his time for good behavior, the ends of justice have been aerved by hit parole. He must maintain good behavior, and have respei t fur the law." "I denied hia petition for pardon in February,' continued the Governor, "because I thought he ought to serve his sentence. I have known the man all my life. Many good eitizens of the county have written me, asking that he be paroled, among them tha aheriff of the county. I do not regard the fact that no new publication of the petition ns made as important. The case has been before me nil the while, and tho original publication was sufficient. danvillFyouth goes on trial for murder Greensboro, Oct. .

BRITTOX. (By Special Leased Wire.) Washinston. Oct. 6. One event after another shows that the Republicans of the Senate are entirely at sea as to where they will be finally with another definite plan for tax revision. In the Inst two days this has been aeeentnated. tintil yesterday the administration forhei, coached by Senator Fenrose a program for a revenue bill were giving Imitations of men having going through, and were denying any discoH in Hia Republican ranks in the Honato with lond o'ltcries of astimrd confidence. But all at once the situation changed and they began running around in cir cles with red faces when the Democ rata kept np twitting them with their "wig gle and wobble," performance in jump ing from one proposition to another overnight. Driven from one position to another following the lambasting givon their iniquitous tax bill by Sen ator Simmons last Fridav, the ndminis tration leaders have conferred with the Yrogressive elements of the party' from the West nnd have agreed to make vital concessions so ns to trr to hold party solidarity, have talked with President Harding and found him much perturbed over the situation snd have succeeded in securing an agreement for nil the ne publicans to meet tomorrow morning to go over the situation. To Modify Pending Bill. It was learned late this evening that at this meeting the plans aro to make an agreement to recommend to the fcn ate a modification of the pending reve nue bill that will practically meet and accede to every demand made in the Democratic proposal aa announced by Senator Simmons on tho floor of the Senate last Friday. The plan to have tho meeting in the morning was reached last night nt. a conference held at the home of Senator Cappers, of Kansas, attended by some 14 Republicans, Sen ator Lodge amongst them, and at eon ference held this morning among Re publican lenders, and is in pursuance of agreement among the Republicans that only n complete aurrender to the Simmons Democratic, program will en able them to pass the bill through the Senate. Unless all signs fail the Re publicana at the meeting tomorrow morning will expressly agree to the fol lowing terms in the Simmons program: Kcpeal bf all transportation taxes; a re enactment of the rapifsil stock tax on corporations; raising of the surtax ratet to 50 or 52 per cent, maximum; reducing tho surtax rates in the brack ets below $G6,r!X), repeal of 2.tXK ei emption from incomes taxes of corpora tions and repeal in the case of annoy inb miscellaneous taxes. Senator I!t'hinson, of Arkansas, stated on tho floor of the Senate today that the merciless analysis and stern exposure of the tax revenue bill made by Senator Simmons last Friday turned the light on the monstrous injustices of the bill to such an extent that the Republicans have been squirming and floundering ever since, that the speech had brought forth such an indignant protest from the country against the pending tax bill that the Republican leaders became more and more frightened nntil the climax was rcaehn in their final sur render Inst night.

Senatorial elections will be held in the Twentv flrtt Senatorial district to select a successor to Ssnator M. W, Nash, resigned to become solicitor in the Thirteenth judicial district, and In the Thirty-third district to select a successor to Senstor J. E. Kanipe, of Marion, resigned to become special agent for the Internal Revenue Depart ment Mr. Nash ia a Democrat and Mr, Kanipe a Republican. Plebiscites for the selection of new members of the lower honse will be held in Waks county to choose a sue cessor to Representative G. W.

Bolton, deeaased; snd in Yadkin county to provide a succes sor to Representative . G. Bryant, re signed to become a prohibition agent Dr. Bryant is a Republican. Guilford Skipped No election has been ortlered in Guil ford county to choose a representative to eome to Raleigh in the place of Rep resentative P. E. Donnell, who has been made chairman of the Guilford Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Donnell has not formally transmitted his resig nation to the Governor, although his new official duties make him ineligible for further service. The Governor's order fo- special else tions comes in compliance with consti tutional mandate that require the place of any incapacitated member of the General Assenizbly to be filled by election called by the Governor. Similar situation arote last December when Governor Bickett ordered a special election in Craven county to name a successor to the representative chosen at the November election who declined to serve. Now I'p To Coaatlea Details of conducting the election are left to the county snd district electUn boards. Vnder the Governor's order, they are required to call the election and conduct it in the manner prescribed for regular elections. No new registra tion is required, although the books will be opened in the regular mannar for the entry of new registrants. Without any official delving into the status of the situation, it is presumed in official circles that the redistricting nf the State by the last session of the General Assembly will hare ne bearing on the coming elections. Neither the Twenty-first nor the Thirty-third dis tricts bear any recognizable similarity to their general contours nnder the old status, but it is presnmed that the elee tion applies to the old line up. Four new faces will appear In the !Toum when the Speaker's gavel falls December (1, and two new ones in the Senate, but their presence will likely necessitate little disarrangement in committee slates, etc. Generally, the new member falls heir to the place and position of his predecessor, and (Continard on pag Two.) ;;. - Tsvrr i J u tlir r r-TT 'i 1 "T'l I thejlrst'run cf the World's Perics in T.

Republican Sen ate leaders, i na series ft conferences, today agreed npon a tentative tax re vision program which they believe will close the principal gap within their party ranks in the Senate and at the same time prove acceptable to the Re publicans in the House. Main points in the program are an increase in the maximum surtax rate from 32 per eent to 50 per cent and repeal of the tax on freight, passen ger and Pullman transportation. In addition. It ia proposed to repeal the $2,000 exemption allowed corporations, which would mean an additional $60,- 000,000 of revenue from corporation, sources, retain the corporation capital stock tax, estimated to yield 73,000, 000 next year, and repeal the various so-called nuisance taxes, such as those on soda water, cosmetics, proprietary medicines and the Lie. Higher Estate Taxes There also was said to have been, a tentative agreement to Increase the estate taxes, to as to hsve a maximum of 40 or 50 per rent on estate in ex eese of $100,000,000. The present maximum ia 25 per eent--u estates of $10,000,000. Most leaders were understood to have favored the committee proposal for flat tax of 15 per cent on corporation incomes, but there was aome discus sioa of a graduated tax, with the rate 10 per eent on corporations having an income of $50,000 or" less yearly. The question of increased first-class post age rstes also waa brought np again, but these and other matters are to be threshed out at a meeting of Republi con members of the finance committee, to be called within a day or two. Propose Amsadsnenta la advance of this meeting, Senators Lenroot, of Wisconsin, and MeCormick, of Illinois, leaders of the progressive group, are to draw up amendments em bodying the proposed changes for pret eatation to the eommittee Itepublicant It is the plan to have the amendments presented on the floor as committee proposals with a view ef expediting action on the tax bill. In framing their program, The leaders considered and rejected tho Bnioot manufacturers' sslcs tax plan snd also approved the committee proposal to re peal the excess profits tax as of next January 1. Active fights for the sates tax and against repeal of the profits tax are promised, however, on the Senate lloor. Senators Lenroot and MeCormick went over the proposed changes in the bill with treasure experts today and was said lster that while fhe changes would involve a shifting of a totsl of about $260,000,000 in taxes, the total to be raised under the bill emendert aa planned would be approximately the same as nnder the original measure $3;s:m,ooo,ooo. Ledts in Conference. The conferences today were preceded by one between President Harding and Senator Ixidge, of Massachusetts, the Republican benate leader, who eallej at the White House to lay bef' re the executive the results of the conference of Senators from Western ritatest which he attended last night at the home of Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas. It west nnderttood that the President indicated a desire that every effort be made to smooth out the differences be tween Republican Senators so ss to haten passage ofJeventie legislation. While the Reputilicarn 'Were in eon ferenee. Democratic Senators continued their assault on the eommittee bill Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, re ferring to the meetings of Republican leaders, declared the pending measure seemed ''to t dead in the hands of its friends," and that it was proposed now to bring in amendments to meet tub stantiallv all of the criticism! of the bill made by the Democrats. Simmons In Attack. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina the ranking Democrat on the finance committee, told the Senate that th opposition to the measure had been s pronounced that Chsirman Penrose, of tho finance, committee, had founo necessary to inform the public that the bill was only a temporaiy one. When the eommittee drew the bill, he said it was stated that the measure was to be permsnent, adding that there was no talk of its 'temporary character "un til it has been tkot to pieces on the floor of the Sontte." Srtiator Rned, of Missouri, said tbn if another bill was drawn by the Re publican majority to supplant the pend ing measure "it will be written by the interests, for the interests snd in the interest of the interests."
