A victory for the Giants today will make the series look vastly different and much depends on tOday'S game.
 Carl Mays was the logical selection of Manager Huggins of the Yankees. The subway delivery specialist stood the Giants on their heads in the first game and Hug must use him again today or send Harry Harper to the mound. Harper, a wonderful pitcher when. he is right, is undependable- as a rule. Choosing him to pitch is the Mays looked like a bod carrier.
 Giant fans, and critics who have been watching McGraws tactics be- lieved that he would shoot Phil Doug las back at the Tanks today. Douglas is one of the biggest and strongest pitchers in either major league. He rest is enough for him. If he can come back today at all he stands a fine chance of winning according to Giant philosophy, but no one expects game as he did in the opener
 With a game tucked into the batbag the Giants~today looked like a team that may carry the series quite a ways and if they succeed all sorts of records will go by the boards.
 Paid attendance to date has already passed the 100000 mark and receipts have overshot s335,o 900 which is a
 If the teams should play eight games. more than 3oO,0o0 fans will witness them and more than S750, 900 will be taken in at the box office. No previous series has had the dimensions of this one for possible attendance or recepts and because of the prices and the New York monopoly it may be quite a while before another series ap- breaches it.
 The weather today was threatening. Overcast skies greeted the fans when they crawied out of their downey beds and the weather man predicted rain with a possible clearing of the atmosphere by game time.
 The biggest crowd of the series was; expected to witness today's game. This being Saturday practically every New Yorker had a half day off and every one who thought he had a chance to get into the Polo Grounds started that way shortly after the noon hour- Where 36,509 paid to en- Ter the Brush stadium yesterday it was estimated that fully 39, 900 would at- tend today's game as paid customers and at least ten thousand would be turned away.
 Betting the series which found odds strongly in favor of the Tanks Friday simmered down today The Tanks. with two victories to one for the Giants are still favorites but the odds dropped back to to , from a plane of to 1 in many instances.
