BURNS HERO IN WINDUP
: His Slam Breaks Tie-Ryan
Allows Only Six
Safctics.
BY DANIEL.

When d. James Bancroft, shortstop
for the Giants. goes on hitting tear 1t
is bound to be no half portion celebra-
ton. And when George Burns faces
pitcher in the tenth inning with the win
ming run on third base that poor finger
has about MS much chance as Carpenter
had against Dempsey. These salient
facts were ilustr ated rather strikingly
at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon
when the Giants went an extra inning to
beat the Cardinals by to 3 and make
1t three straight.
1t was Bancroft who staggered the
Cardinals with his clouting and was
pretty mucn the whole works in the
New York attack while the game
skipped through the regulation period.
First with the count on him and 3.
he slammed a home run into the left
field bleachers in the third inning, to tie
the score NJ 1 to / and put the New
YorSs into the battle. 1t was his third
homer OF the year. Then he hit triple
to left centre in the fifth, which shortly
was converted into a run that once more
tied the count, at to 3. Later he got
a single ana sacrifice.
1t was Burns, who. with two out and
Johnny Rawlings skipping back and
forth off third base like a disciple of ST
Vitus in the tenth frame, clouted hit
to right which broke the deadlock and
earned the gratitude Of some 5000 fans.
10 whom cooking odors weae like a red
shirt Haunted before an enraged bull. 1t
was George Kelly, who started that
rally with a hit. And. let us emphasize,
IS was Bill Ryan who smothered the
Cards with MS fine pitching and de-
served a far easier decision over Bill
Bailey. the left handler who went the
route for the visitors.
SIX Hits or Ryan.
Ryan gave only six hits. three of
which went 20 the great Rogers Hornsby.
who finally found his batting eye. In
the two previous games the batting
leader of the league had got only one
safety It was a double by Hornsby
which started the Cards toward their
run in the second. and it was another
double by the chief of the Clouting Cir
Gus which was the nucleus of a second
tally in the fourth. A wasted single in
the eighth completed the Hornsby coll
lection. with q fly to left sandwiched in.
AS for Bailey, he was in trouble all
the time and was combed for fourteen
hits But he was favored with some
pretty nifty support. In the second,
after Kelly had singled. a double play
started by Hornsby avoided lot of
trouble, for Rawlings and Snyder fol-
lowed with singles which went to waste.

Bailey Loses Control.
Bailey pitched himself into a mess

lowed by a sacrifice by Cunningham.
Rawlings sent up fly TO McHenry and
Kelly dashed to third. Snyder looked

he was passed on purpose. Bailey
