"Rhufflln' " Douglas' pitching and Ward's error in the seventh gave the Giants a close win over their Yankee rivals in the seventh game of the world's series, giving MeGrnw's men the edge in the series of four games to three. The final score Is 2 to 1. It was the closest game of the ser les, with both teams hitting the ball hard, and with a fast fielding fre quently nipping the batting rallies be fore it was well started. Doth Mays and Douglas pitched great ball, only one base on balls being issued, and that by Douglas. Had Ward handled Rawllng's grounder in the seventh with his customary speed, the battle would probably have gone to an ex tra inning. The Yanks made their first and onfy run when McNally singled in the second, scoring Pipp. The Giants waited until the fourth frame before getting a tally across. Young singled and K. Meusel singled, scoring him. In the seventh Rawl ings hit an easy roller to Ward, who fumbled, and Snyder, next to bat, doubled, sending the winning run cross the dish. First Inning.
