 Frank Snyder, the Giants bulky catch l er, shot one of Carl Mays underhand twiSters into left centre field for a | two base hit in the seventh inning at 1 the Polo Grounds this afternoon and 1 sent bome the tally that won the sev- euth game Of the worlds series for l the New York National Leagues cham 1 pions, The Giants, by winning this contest two runs to one, went for the first time into the lead in the series, with four victories to the Yankees three TIis McGFaw men need but one more to give them the series and the big end of the money. If the Yankees win tomorrow and niTtf7 T"re Is nec- esssary, the Giants viii be the home team, the Yankees b.t.,.a9 first. This was decided in the club house at the Polo Grounds late this afternoon. Con- missioner Landis tossed a coin and President Stcneham of the Giants call- ed the turn.
 TOday's game, probably the snappi- est and tensest in the series was wit messed by a holiday crowd of 36,503 perons, which was by all odds the xsost demonstrative of the throngs gathered for there games.
 It seemed almost as if the roar that greeted Chick Fewster, the Yankee iead-off man, again substituting for the disabled Babe Ruth, when he stepped to the place in the first in- ming was continued without pause un- til Phil Douglas of the Giants tossed out Wally Schang for the last out in the ninth.
 For the third time it was a case of Douglas against Mays, and for the second time the verdict went to Dou- glas. 'Shufflin" Phil pitched master ful ball, settling down after a some- what uncertain time of it for the first two innings. He was aided by won- derful support by his Giants team mates, not fielding misplay being made on the Nationals side.
 Carl Mays, while the loser, has to be given credit for an equally nota- ble, if less successful performance on the mound. He was steadier than Dou- glas, not issuing a pass and allowing but six hits, to eight for his opponent and but for a slip, most unfortunate for Mays and his Yankee team mates on the part of Aaron Ward in the seventh inning the game might easily have gone into extra innings with the score tied. one to one.
 
 The Yankee second baseman's error proved the real break" in the game, putting on base the runner who short ly afterward scored the winning tal- ly. The usually reliable Ward, who has been notably busy around second base all through the series, this time let d grounder by Rawlings get away from him after two Giants had been re- tired in the seventh inning. Aaron re- covered the ball and made quick throw to Pipp but was just too late. Then Frank Snyder numbered con- fidently up to the plate and banged the first ball pitched into the out field for two bases.
 Rawlings winged his way around the the bases as Miller and Fewster scrambled for the ball but before it could be played in Rawlings was across the plate with what proved to be the winning tally. Mays famed Douglas for the third out.
 Nip and Tuck Affair
 The game from the very start WAS nip-and tuck affair, the second man up on each team, Peckinpaugh for the Yankees and Bancroft, for the Gi- ants, hit fer two bases in the first in- ming, but both were left. Then in the second the Yankees sent a run across Pipp, the first man up, slashed dou- ble to left and Ward, with a neat sac- rifice, advanced the first sacler tc third. Mike McNally, next up. proved the right man for the pinch. With th( infield drawn in he singled sharply to right and Pipp tallied.
 Wally Schang forced McNally a second out Mays met one of Douglas 1Ff ff~fr7 ,-clv -l,o ing on a line in the direction of righ field. Rawlings, however, leaped higl in the air and hauled down the spher, with one hand, his great catch retir ing the side.
 Neither side Hcored in the third, bu in the fourth +he Giants tied it UT With one out Young got an infield hi D off Ward glove and stole second a Kelly famed. Irish Meusel thel lined a neat single to centre whicl brought Young home with the tyin run.
 The count remained in it's tightl knotted state until the seventh wit It's fatal break fo2 the Yankees an the Giants winning tally.
 McNally, whose hit brought in tn Yankees only run, injured his rfgh shoulder in sliding for second whe he was forced there in the second in ming. When the Yankees took thei place in the field in the third Fran Baker, the veteran third sacker, too up the duty of guarding the far cor ner.
 Baker in Limeiight
 Baker with little to do in the fiel( got into the limelght twice on tn offensive. The Yankees threatened seri ously with two men out in the sevent Baker contributing a hit here, whic Schang followed by another. Bot men were left, however, when May grounded out.
 In the final inning with the Yankee needing one run to tie, the first tw men were easy outs. The last chanc lay with Baker. Frank, as he steppe to the plate. lanced over at the rigf field stand where in former years hom run hits had badly damaged o rruine Giant chances for a world champion
