need JUS, one more game. They
won from the Yankees yesterday BY
a score Of to 1. and for the hrsi
time they lead in the World Series
The total is 4 to in their favor.
Hitherto the issue has hung upon
the deeds Of heroes. superman has
slashed at superman. The battles
have been above the clouds. But
yesterday proved that after all pro-
fessional ball players are a little less
than the angles.
Man Is still in the making. Achil-
les had his heel and Aaron Ward
his thumbs High above yester-
days game rose the horns OF the first
World Series goat.
There is every probability that
Carl Mays would have pitched 10
shutout but for Ward. Walt Whit
man once wrote a poem dedicated
10 ali men who failed, soldiers who
lost IN battle and sailors who went
down with their ships. There ought
TO be something Of Nhis lyric quality
in any chronicle OF the errors OF
Aaron Ward. They we're the mis-
takes OF A very gallant player who
has been a bulwark all through the
season and the series. He was
brilliant. making some amazing
stops and throws. He faltered just
twice an dthat was enough TO lose
the tightest game OF the series.
Ward became. therefore, a tragic
figure, but II sympathy Is to be
brought around in baskets Car
Mays probably would like his share
He pitched almost as well as on th'
hrst day. with only two days o.
rest he far surpassed his enort o
Sunday. Phil Douglas. who repeat
"a at the same short notice, wa
brilliant, but he was not quite as mn
as Mays in any close analysis. IN
i Yankees made eight hits 10 six OF IN
Giants, one OF which was question
able. Mays struck out seven me-
and did not give a single pass. Blu
he lost.
The Yankees gave him a one-rui
lead with which to work In the sec
ond inning. and he was determine
10 make Il last. His thirst woul
have carried him through nicely
IL had not been for Ward. The mrs
misplay OF the inhelder came in IN
fourth inning and led TO the Giant
tieing the score. No error wa
charged officially. but Mays kne1
and Ward knew that he should hav
had a play. After Mays had throw
Frisch out Young banged the ba'
hard but straight at Ward. II
was set. a little too set; the ba|
bounded somewhat awry and struc
, him in the thigh. Perhaps II wa
not within even par baseball 10 pre-
vent that. Wards lapse came d
not following the ball up. He coul
not see il. though II lay only thre
feet away. He looked about help
lessly. hoping that IL might cry
Here / am" or repent and com
back TO his hands again. 1t jus
