Kelly Hits 21st Homer

The cantankerous Cardinals handed
the Giants farewell drubbing at the
Polo Grounds yesterday, taking the
game by a score of 10 to 7, and the
fourgame series by three to one. If
the Glanss had won they would have
gained notch on the Pirates, who col
lapsed before the Braves in Boston.
The defeat was far more embarras-
sing than the score indicates and the
ninth inning rally, during which Long
George Kelly slammed his twenty-frst
home run of the season across the hor,-
ION, was never beyond the control of
the st. Louis clan. Two Giants hao
crossed the pan in this inning and two
man slashed tho ball into the left field
stands, scoring Ross Young ahead of
| him.
Although the Giants needed seven
runs to tie the score going into the
ninth, the forlorn fans saw ray of
hope in Kelly's smash and begged for
more, but "Irish" Meusel ended the
j., local eruption by rolling a grounder
to the ubiquitous Rogers Hornsby.
Tennis Champion at Game
Five minutes before the game began
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, brunette star
of French tennis courts, entered one OF
the right field boxes with her mother.
Monsieur and Nine. A. R. de Joannis
and some friends. After she had posed
for a battery of movie cameras she
walked over to the Giants dugout with
Hughie Jennings and was introduced
to McGraw and a swarm Of players.
The French girl was CARRIED in a gor-
geous gown of brilliant yellow, which
seemed to emphasize the blackness of
her hair.
Mile. Suzanne appeared bit be-
wildered as the players jostled each
other in an effort to grasp her hand
and she probably missed the raucous
voice of a bleacherite who shouted {:
"Hey, lady, don't give them guys the
bronchitis cause they're bad enough
already"
Mile. Suzanne remained through the
entire nine innings and seemed to
get lot of rather mystified enjoyment
out of the spectacle. When it was over
she said she thought the Monsieurs in
the gray uniforms and the red stock
ings had been defeated because they
were continually running away when
the monsieur in the middle of the dia-
mond hurled the ball at them. She
couldn't understand why the gentleman
on the field ran so terribly hard only
to get back to the same spot from
whence they started. 1t seemed to be
such foolish proceeding.
Locals Help Visitors
Whether or not the Giants con-
tracted slight touch of the bronchitis
it is a fact that they never looked the
same after they had entertained Mile
Lenglen in their dugout. They ex-
celed at doing the wrong thing at the
right time-for the Cardinals In the
first inning they started off as though
they were going to make short work of
the visitors, but Rickey's men choke
off the budding drive in snappy style.
Burns walked but was out by mile
when he attempted to steal. Then Dave
Bancroft looped the bali into the right
field stands for a home run. One run
In and ore thrown away. Jesse Haines,
pitcher for the Cards, then walked
Frank Frisch and was promptly given
the air in favor of Bill Sherdcl. The
first thing Sherdel did was to catch
Frsch fat-footed off first, and the
Giants subsidized.
The first ball Jesse Barnes pitched
in the second inning caught Mueller
in the ribs. McHenry sent him to third
with double down the left field foul
line and both scored on single by
Clemens. In the third the Cards added
two more, when Fourier singled
through Bancroft and scored on
Hornsby's single, which was the first
of three timely wallops he gathered
during the afternoon. The second base
man died trying to stretch the hit into
a double.
Mueller followed with a single and
McHenry was safe when Bancroft
! fumbed his grounder. Mueller scored
on Doc Lavan's one7base drive and Nc
Henry was nailed at the plate
Frlsch scored one for the homo talent
