isan GEORGE KELLY STILL H _THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1921, ete eee KELLY'S 7THHOMER HELPS GIANTS T0 ROUT BRAVE TEAR New York First Baseman Prov-| .. ing His Early Hitting No Flash in Pan. By Robert Boyd. HD lean, tall, awkward figure of George Kelly looms up on the | baseball horizor to-day as a} more dangerous rival for Babe Ruth's | Batting laurels than was first ex- pected. At the beginning of the sea- #on, when (elongated) George shot | into the lead in knocking balls into| the stands over his American League | rival, it was remarked that his hit- ting streak was a “flash in the pan” and it would svon come to a halt as} the opposmns, pitchers got better weather to limber up their arms, But no such thing, in fact Kelly is hitting ‘em harder and more frequently than during the early part of the season. In the environs of the Back Bay, yesterday, Babe Ruth caught one of Sam Jones's fast ones on the nose and sent it into the stands for his sixth home run of the current season. This | happened just about the time Kelly's long bat connected with a straight ball over the plate thrown by Watsor the Boston National twirler, in the first inning, and it too went into the left field bleacher stands for a homer, ‘The comment “I will soon leave bim behind,” uttered last week by Babe Ruth, when he was informed that Kelly had hit another homer in Eb- bets Field is not being taken as ser!- ously now as when he first nade the remark. If anything, from the way | Kelly has been keeping a lead of one | homer over Ruth, it prompts us to| ea that George Kelly will @| pomething to say with his wagon tongue as to whether or not he will be left behind in the struggle for the | Jong distance hitting honors of 1921 Orty the difference of a few fee robbed the Giants’ first baseman from ting another homer in the thin ing. This time the ball travelled fm the same direction as ‘is previous hit, far over Cruise's head (the Boston left fielder), but lacking two feet of clearing the sign base of the stand. Cruise waited for the wallop to re bound off the sign board and held George to a two-base hit. Exclud'ng Kelly's geventh homey there was far from anything thrilling in the third game of the present series with Mitchell's Boston tea: It was ust one of those typical games where the Giants lambasted three of Mitchell's twirlers to every corner of the Polo Grounds for twelve safe hits From the twelve hits the New York team managed to rol! up eight runs, Miss STirung LATER of in By William E.
