EVANS SAYS GIANTS
 WON BY A DROP KICK
Famous Umpire Likens Wards
 Error to a Football Play
By Billy Evans Especial to The Herald)

Polo Grounds, N. Y, Oct. 6.-The Giants won by drop kick that trav- eled at least thirty yards. Don't get me wrongt, l am not describing a football contest but the third game Of the world series that was won by the Giants 3 to 0. Second Baseman Ward of the Yankees was the inno. cent victim of the football stunt that paved the way for the Giants second victory of the series.
 The break of the game that sent the Giants out in front at two run lead came in the third inning. The Giants had threatened in the first two sessions, wasting two hits in each in ming without being able to score
 Scott opened the third with a single to left. On hit and run play Ban croft hit sharply to Wards right. The Yankee second sacker dashed over to make the play. With the slow mov- ing Scott on first he had an easy dou- ble play in front of him.
 Boot Spelled Defeat.
 A false bound spoiled the entire af- ternoon for the Yankees. Instead of the ball striking Wards glove it came into contact with the toe of his right foot A beautiful drop kick that car ried the ball far into left field was the result.
 Instead of two out and none on the bases, Hoyt was in a hole with run ners on second and third and no one cut. A sacrifice fly and base hit gave the Giants two run margin.
 Wards drop kick was the break of the game. The Giants made enough runs through that boost to win the ball game
 Giants won a drop kick tells the story Of the third game that makes the National Leaguers strong favor ite to win. The Yankees are decided ly up against it. Huggns and his team have their backs to the wall. The pitching of the Yankees has been good enough but the club has failed at the bat.
 Tanks Weak With Bats.
 The Yankees made only five hits and were unable to score run 9 gainst Scott At the opening of the season the Cincinnati club released | 0NOlL Oull lSll btCduSt Dl DdI dl H. I Picked up by the Giants a short time before the close of the season. he is tonight the hero of the New York | fans who lean toward the Giants.
 In baseball it is customary to refer | to the pitcher with a bad arm as a | broken armed twirler. The fact that | Scott held them helpless doesn't speak | very well for the Yankee sluggers.
 The peculiar part of Scott's pitch ng was that he worked in a manner hat usually meets with the approval ,f the Yankees bats. scotts fast ball vas usually over the plate, likewise lis curve. It was the style pitching avored by the Yankees. yet they ,ould do nothing with it.
 Had Ruth's Number.
 Nehf and Barnes in the first two ,ames worked the corners. This made he Yankees go at bad balls. When Ruth was up they resorted almost to the slow ball or 1oater. pitched in Ruth's groove, yet he fail d to hit ball out of the infeld.
 The Yankees threatened in only one ming, the seventh, when the score tood ? to c against them. With Ieusel on third and Schang on sec md and one out, the Tanks had the fig opening to tie up the game.
 It was the irony of fate that Ward vho hit the ball over the left field ence in the second game should be aken out for a pinch hitter Elmer mith who in 1919 when with Cleye and, hit a home run with the bases He'd in the world serieD with Brook yn, was called upon to put the Tanks n the running. With the count three alls and' two strikes he swung at 9 ad ball and the Yankees one req nance was snuffed out.
