BANCROFT BIC FACTOR
IN GIANTS PLAYING

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Out on the
field directing the defensive play
that neither John -McGraw. the man
.agcr, nor his first ass stant, Hughoy
Jennings. could do frcm their places
on the bench, all season has been
Dave Bancroft field captaining the
Giants to another pennant.
"Banny" is listed by many of the
competent critics of the game to be
the gre Attest shortstop in baseball to-
day. The teams that have won pen
nants with a poor, or even mediocre
man at shortstop--the pivot of the de-
fcnse-arc few and those that have
come through winners of the world
series virtually all had tOpnotchers.
Before the 1922 season enGed base
ball writer's began casting about for
the most valuable man to MS team of
III the major lcaguers and number
mentioned Bancroft, placing him IN
tlNe class with Joe Tinker, Of the old
Cubs, Hans Wagner of the Pirates,
RABBIT Maranvi,le, Of Pittsburgh and
Boston, Jack Parry of the Athletics
and Red RoX, and Il greater player
than Arthur Fletcher. now with the
Quakers. who was Eancrofts prcdc-
cesSor.
The Giant captain is of first class
calibre both on the defense and Of
fensc and as field general. As a
lead off man he ranks with the best
of all time He covers an amazingly
area i'm the field and is a pcstering
dangerous runner on the bases. He is
considered quite a biz better than the
cold figures show him to be.
Last season bancroft hit over 800
for the first time in his career. He
began his career as poor batter and
his rise has been due to his superior
fielding and his inspirational defense.

Gently paid $40 in taxi fare to get tc
the Chicago ball park in time to play
with the Yanks in an important series
The mere matter of a train wreck
and several other obstacles did not
discourage him and he succeeded in
keeping his long record of competition
in consecutive games unbrol!en.
# In figuring how player of rather
frail build like Scott has been able to
play in almost a thousand straight
games, it Is only necessary to consider
the spirit that keeps him going.
Other ball players might have taken
the train wreck as an excuse for'an
extra day of liberty. Scott didn't and
that is the reason why he is making
a record that perhaps never will be
equalled or surpassed.
Promoters around New York argue
that boxing cannot be conducted at n
profit for smaller prices than now pre-
vail at the box offices
n 1t is done nevertheless in Philadel-
phia. With top prices of SO boxing
Is conducted the year round in the
Quaker City and the outdoor season
this summer was a big success.
u Cards just as good rs are put on in
New York were staged at n profit for
all. Four high shows were put on at
the National League ball park there
and the receipts were more than
s135, 900.
n Tex Rickard maintains, however,
That boxers who work in Philadelphia
for Il purse of 5000 demand 100000
