GIANTS Westerners Bid Farewell to Polo Grounds Until 1922 New York, Aug. 24.—George Kelly lashed out his twenty-first home run and Davy Bancroft acquired his fifth at the Polo Grounds yesterday after- noon.

He held the American league leaders an‘i champions to five hits, and Babe Ruth rammed two home runs to the distant beyond with a man on base each time. Between Quinn’s timely production of winning pitching and’' Ruth’s equally timely and much more dramatic clouts to the world outside, the Yan- kees won handily by 6 to 1 putting them one point behind the Indiar: in the race for the American league pennant. Ruth made first his forty-seventh, then his forty-eighth home run of the home run bedecked vear. He is with- in six circuit belts of his record of last year and is biffing all comers with great freedom and enjoyment. Yet he and Quinn had no monopoly on the serviceable deeds. Schang was a batting live one, too, and fielding of uncommon speed and precision was done by McNally, Peck and Ward, with a brilliant running catch by Ruth of a short foul to the left field line. i Caldwell was the sufferer in the Cleveland box. The Yanks made bat seven hits in all, but made five of them off Caldwell, and manipulated their seven hits for six runs. Oppo~- tune batting did it and the opportunc error by Wambsganss of the home circle. The score: -] 3 MO O ®Ht WA Miller, cf Peck’h, ss . Ruth, 1f Meusel, rf Pipp, 1b Ward, 2b .
