NEW YORK, October 6.—With one victory gained by the methods their rivals were expected to use, the New York Ame cans go back to the fray with the city’s National League cham- pions today, fully confident they The Giants, however, did not appear at all discouraged by their initial de- feat, and were prepared to enter Brush stadium today with more determination than ever to even up the world series | by winning the second game. They pointed out that they came from behind in the league race, and that the same srim fighting spirit would carry them through this time. The Yankees and their followers be- lieved they would win ags by speed on the bases. relentless, aggressive power in the field and opportune hitting ~-to say nothing of the kind of pitching that Carl Mays exhibited yesterday in blanking the Giants, 3 to 0. It was in speed that the Giants were reputed to have the advantage over the American League champions. Even Manager Hug- gins of the Yankees admitted the Giants were faster, but his team showed the most speed yesterday. Yanks Are Home Team. The Giants today were the “visiting team,” while the Yankees occupied the places of the home crew, Beld by the nts vesterda; This changing proc- involved a shifting of uniforms and dugouts.

Ledoux saw half of his followers from New York, niost of them ex-service men, desert him after a fiery speech by “Bud” Taylor of New York, who asserted that Ledoux was not doing all in his power to secure jobs for the unem- vloyed. The New York men, who came from the metropolis in a _sightseeing bus, 12d by Taylor and J. M. Leavitt, called on Senators Wadsworth and Calder at ihe Capitol. They asked that the state armories in New York be opened up as places for the unemployed to sleep. Sénator Wadsworth told them it was a state matter. . Just as the men were piling into the truck Taylor made a speech to the crowd. He said substantially: “I am sick and tired of following this fellow “Zero” around. It isn’'t do- ol the ing us any good to pose before the camera. We are not moving picture aetors. What we want is work. This chasing the cameras here is not get- ting us anywhere. I'm going back io New York and try to get jobs for vou fellows. If any of you want jobs come with me and we will do our best to land them.” Following Taylor's speech about half of Ledoux’s followers on the truck «limbed down and started atier Ta; lor toward the Union station. Ledoux and the rest of the party boarded the truck and went to the White House, where the leader asked that the President come out and view Navy, pull the five-ton load up the strest by his teeth. The President did not appear. May Imperil O. F. U. Appearance of the New York glele- gation in the ctiy and their actions last night may prove detrimental to the aims of the O. F. U.

Senator Lodge Forced by Farm Bloc to Seek Peace After Tax Split. _ BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The solidarity of the republican party hangs in the balance. Tempo- rarily, at least, the administration leaders have achieved a truce. The agricultural bloc, as the group of western republicans are called, has succeeded in making such a show of insurgency as to alarm the eastern leaders, with the result that peace overtures have been made by the jlatter. | " Senator Lodage, administration lead- ler. spent an hour with President Harding immediately after the con- feren at the home of Senator Cap- per of at which the agricul- enators were petitioned to mind the future of the re- Mr. Lodge appeared iin the role of peacemaker and avoided i committing himself to any definite ! program. but carried word that Sena- | tor Watson of Indiana, Senator Pen- rose of Pennsylvania and the other dministration republicans were wi ling to make concessions to meet the | western senators half way. | tural i keep in { publican part Concessions Uncertain. Just what price the eastern repub- ns will_have to pay for- party solidarity h not yet developed. me of the agricultural bloc were the, opinion that the surtaxes on er incomes would have to be and that immediate repeal jof the transportation taxes would have to be agreed to before there |would be any break in their rank: As for a sales tax or manufacture {tax. the agricultural senators made Iplain their unalterable opposition. |Some of them are more favorable to of the high restored, the monufacturers’ tax as proposed by Senator Smoot than any of the arlier plans for a sales tax, but the majority of the wWestern republicans 1will not accept ever that form of ! taxation. { President Harding is plainly wor- ried.. He has been conferring with individual senators getting harmony. His administrati wkesmen are working night nn 1y 1n an effort to prevent a break in the hope of 1 between the eastern and western | senators. It looked for a time as If {the agricultural republicans would form a coalition with certain demo- | crats who feel as they do and bring tabout the passage of amendments to { the House embarrass t ill. which would greatly republican program. H Watson Plends for Unity. nator Watson appealed to his re- ican colleagues from the west to sh things out on oné@ side of the in the Senate and forego the amiliation of party division on the [ first great issue of the Harding ad- { ministration. His appeals were heed- 1. however, only when he signified a willingness to surrender to the | western republicans on some essential peints. | "The western republicans indicated | ¢ that they were very much en- aged by the results of Senator apper’s conference and the informal atements of administration leaders. Meanwhile the democrats are playing | their usual shrewd tactics. As a mi- | nority party they always have man- iaged to get along better than as a {majority. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, democrat. who knows a whole lot about taxation, is framing some plausible tax amenments, which it will be difficult for some repub- licans to vote against. All the | troubles of tariff-making in the old days have been revived only with ever so many more complications and | combinations. ! "The crisis means more to the re- { publican party at this moment than {the democrats for the former have | the responsibility of power. The fight ibetween the republicans representing | agriculturai states and those coming {from the populous eastern constitu- | encies, where big business and man- {ufacturing enterpirses reside is only lines of 1 s {publ s lin its infancy.

But it looks today as_if the agricultural republicans were converting the easterners to their viewpoint and that the true leader- ship of the republican party is com- ing out of the west even though the titular leadership may be vested in the eastern group.
