WARD'S SLIP COSTLY II TANKS:
 GIANTS MN HURUNC DUEL AND
 GRAB ADvANTAGE FORF|R5T TIME

Ye olde baseball fans may get your last chance to see a worlds series baseball game today, for if the Giants grab this afternoons battle from the tottering Tanks, the 1921 series will be history
 Another big crowd was on hand for the seventh game yesterday. as played on the Arizona Republican's s Wonder Board. It was a hard game Tor the Tank fans to see tricl1le away, especially in view of the great ball dished uW by Submarine Cari Mays. But there are slips even in worlds series games and when Snyder crash ed out his two-base pelt following Wards error on Rawlings easy rol- Ter, deep sigh went up from the crowd.
 It seems that Phoenix fans, or a majority of them at least, are pull ing for the American leaguers. But big Player Board is true to life, and when Ward made his pebble, it was depicted to Phoenix fans just as it happened on the Polo Grounds
 But, after all, yesterdays game was bearcat. It was snappy af- fair, with a speedy fielding a feature Several close plays at first base gave the fans plenty of thrills.
 Then when some Tank or Giant swatter woula pole a long one deep into the outfield, the batter would round first and start for second. In some of these instances, the run ner would be nearly to second base before the catch was made and 1t kept the fans in suspense, just as the game itself does.
 r;f al %ha way with Douglas and Mays oppos- ing for the third time of the series. The Tanks started fast and it look ed as if Douglas would be easy meat for them But the Giant Spitball art ist frightened after the third frame and held the junior major leaguers at bay. They got five of their eight hits in the first two frames and scored their only run in the second on some good consecutive hitting. Pipp started the fireworks with a double, went to third on a prettily placed bunt and scored on McNally's | single base swat to center.
 Home Run Baker got his first l chance to perform on the infield yes terday when McNally hurt his shoul- | der sliding into third McNally may | be unable to take part in today's | game. but he has a worthy substitute l in Baker, who poled two of the Tanks 1 eight hits Wednesday. His absence will not weaken the Tanks to any ex- tent in the all important game to- day.
 Waite Hoyt, twice victor over Me- Graw's men, will be sent to the fir ing line by Manager Miller Huggins this afternoon. He is the last hope | for the Tanks and even should he l turn in a victory today, the Ameri- | cans will still be up against 1t for | a moundsman for the ninth and de- ciding game of the series Friday. Tn | that event, Huggins would probably | send Mays right back.
 McGraw is fixed much better. how ever. He has Toney Nehf and Shea available for today, with Slim Sallee held in reserve. Nehf will probably draw the assignment, though Toney is not out of the realm of possibility. Toney is much better pitcher than he has shown in the present series and McGraw may give him a chance to show his worth this afternoon.
 Today's game will be called at IF o'clock, noon, Phoenix time. Be there and enjoy what may prove to be the final game of the greatest worlds series ever played.
