HUGGINS PLACES
 CONFIDENCE IN MAYS
Yankees Manager Hopeful That Carl Can Win Next Game

z. and Tanks were keyed Up to a semi tone or so above normal today for the seventh game of the world series, tied at three games all by the Giants 8 to 5 victory yesterday after a week of warfare at the Polo Grounds.
 They seemed to think that tricky something called the break in the game would make it's appearance this after noon and point out the ultimate victor in the championship struggle. Whoever wins today will be only one victory away from the throne, while the losers must take the next two games in succession to become champions of the world.
 Mays Against Douglas.
 Carl Mays will be sent against the | awakened Giants today Manage,. Hug gins said to be followed tomorrow by Waite Hoyt who permitted the Ma tional leaguers only one run in IS innings. ''Shufflin'' Phil Douglas, is the likely choice of McGraw
 Should this big spitball artist be put to work this afternoon it will be the third tome he has opposed Mays They pitched the starter last Wednes- day and the Tanks won it 3 to O. When they met again Sunday the Giants won to 2. Douglas will carry handkerchief with him to the fray He has bad cold it was noised about by his comrades. Perhaps it will keep him from pitching. If so, McGraw said he would select either the aged and slender Sallee or Pat Shea, new conner. Shea in his few weeks of active duty with the Giants this past season won five games and was beaten only twice. McGraw said he would like to give the youngster chance in the series.
 Metropolitan fandom believes the rumpus up at the Polo Grounds will go the full nine games. Regard, they say how the teams, over the span of whole week, showed themselves im- bued with a tit for tat spirit. The Tanks took the first two then the Giants won a pair, after which the Tanks forged ahead only to have the Giants catch up with them yesterday by pummeling the service of Harper and Shawkey for 13 hits and runs.
 Giants Have Edge.
 The advantage of power in the box now lies with the Giants. Douglas and Barnes have shown they can halt the rush of Tank bats. Douglas is booked to pitch today, and Nehf tomorrow. Nehf lost two games to the Tanks, | largely because his team mates made but one run in Is innings they labored l with him. This would leave for the possible ninth game assignme mt Barnes, who twice has rescued Toney from the fury of Tank attack and then held them while the Giants pounded out victories. Besides there are the second string fingers as yet untested.
 1 On the other hand, Huggins has trotted out only two successful pitch 1 CTS, Hoyt and Mays-and the Giants VOW they no longer dread the under. hand shots of Mays. having beaten hir on his second start. It is Mays whe may have to pitch a fourth time if the series go the limit.
 Yesterdays game was exciting, thu
 first innings so crisp and full O thrills that what followed seemed drowsy though the closing fpunds pro duced as much of interest as the aver age contest
 Nobody may remember these las innings a year hence but even the
 most calloused folk do not expect te stop talking about the three home runs in less than ten minutes, the three wal lops when f1e1ders stopped terrific l clouts they should not catch by hurl- ing themselves in front of the flying sphere, the long run of Chick Fewste1 to absorb Young's foul, hit to the
 bleachers in the first inning, the un- daunted spirit that carried the Giant. to victory after the Tanks had twice gone ahead of them and the manner il
 which Barnes curbed the Tanks wher
 their bats were swinging merrily witl
 the joy that Toney furnished.
 Cool After Homer.
 There was big hubub by the root
 CTS over the three homers in the sec
 ond inning. But the players wer'
 surprisingly calm in their reaction tt
 these wallops, just as if banging thu
 ball into the outlying sections of thu
 amphitheater was nothing to make
 fuss over.

 functory. It used to be that pla. couldn't go on until the home rul
 maker had been congratulated by al his team mates but that simply ism being done these days. The home
 that Snyder poled a moment later tn players appeared to accept withou particular enthusiasm and this als was the case immediately afterwar' = when Fewster put the Tanks ahea' once more by hoisting one into tn
