His last three times at bat yester-
day George Kelly was broken reed
at bat He grounded out once and
struck out twice. But before those
dire things happened-and they weren't
so dre-the tall sycamore Of the maui
ash struck a winning blow for his
affairs and his fires and his fellow
Giants which made his Subsequent
shortcomings paltry and things to be
viewed with tolerance. He hit a
Kellyesque home run--three on bases
and a powerful lift into the left field
bleachers in the first inning, and with
the vital help Of this hit the Giants
beat the Cardinals, Z to 5.
Stern chase Kelly is having trying
to keep UP with the Ruth pace in
homers. but he Is making the Babe
step, and his homers have gathered
runs In bigger quantities than Ruth's.
He loosed his eighth yesterday. and it
was made off Jesse Haines just after
Southpaw Sherdel had filled the bases.

That's the way they're working on
Ruth now. with no unparalleled degree
OF success, and that was what Haines
and Schupp employed to confound Kelly
after his Homeric bolt to the crows
nest. Each outguessed "Kel'' and
slipped third strike over on him after
some rather shrewd mixing to prepare
the way for the outguessing.
The Cardinals started Sherdel. who
collapsed in the first inning, and the
Giants started Jesse Barnes, who lost

The game was well played, though the
day was too chilly for its undue length

before the game was over.
