BANCROFT, CAPABLE
GIANT SHORTSTOP,
GOOD FIELD LEADER
(Ry Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Out on the
field directing the defensive play that
neither John McGraw, the manager,
nor his first assistant, Hughey Jen.
nings, could do from 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 greatest shortstop in baseball to-
day. The teams that have won pen.
nants with poor, or even mediocre
man at shortstop-the pivot fthe de-
fense-are few and those that have
come through winners of the Worlds
series virtually all had topnotchers.
Valuable Man
Before the 1922 season ended base
ball writer's began casting about for
the most valuable man to his team of
all the major leaguers and a number
mentioned Bancroft, placing him in
the class with Joe Tinker, of the old
Cubs
Hans Wagner, of the Pirates, Rab-
bit Meanwhile, of Pittsburgh and Bos-
ton, Jack Barry of the Athletics and
Red Sox, and a greater player than
Arthur Fletcher, now with the Quak-
ers, who was Bancroft's predecessor.
The Giant Captain is Of first class
calibre both on the defense and of
tense and as a field general. AS a
lead-off man he ranks with the best
of all time. He covers an amazingly
large area in the field and is a poster.
ing, dangerous runner on large bases
He is considered quite a bit better
than the cold figures show him to be.
Improves Hitting
Last season Bancroft hit over 900
for the first time in his career He
began his career as a poor batter and
his rise has been due to his superior
fielding and inspirational defense. Ten
years ago he hit .213 with the Port
land, Ore, club, but came up to 254
his first year in the majors with the
Philadelphia and was member of the
Quakers the only time that a club
representing that city participated in
the World series.
In 153 games in which he played
last year Bancroft batted .319 and
flelded $50, accepting 396 chances
more than any other National League
shortstop and making 1872 assists, 800
putouts, SO errors. He batted in g.
runs, went to first base on balls sc
times and struck out only % times
He scored 121 runs, made 1913 hits, fol-
a total of 267 bases, including 26 two
baggers, % sacrifice hits and, in add
ton, he stole II bases.

ANOTHER EXHIBITION
GAME WON BY REDS;
MEET PIRATES next

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Sept. 28.-Cin-
cinnati, home-ward bound, stopped off
for an exhibition with the Huntingdon
Yellow Dogs. Although the Yellow
Dogs had two high class hurlers, the
Redlegs pounded on them for early
leads which put them out in front with
a 5 to 3 score.
Harper started the fireworks in the
first inning with home run to deep
left Gield. Two passes and double
by Wingo added two more tallies in
the same round, and the game was
clinched in the fourth on doubles by
Kimmick and Wingo and a single by
the hard-hitting right fielder, Cliff
Markle.
Hurler In Form.
Farmhouse, to have try-out with
the White Sox next year, pitched the
last three innings and could not be
scored on.
John Gillespie kept the sandlotters'
hits well scattered and had the game
well under control.
The Reds left here for Cincinnati
where they open their final two games
of the season, facing the Pittsburgh
Pirates Saturday and Sunday at Red
land field. The Moran club is now but
ond place and by winning both games
at Redland, they will cinch the second
berth. The score:

mo HIT SERIES GAME
NEVER ACCOMPLISHED
EVEN BY GREATEST
(Ry Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Somewhere
there is a manor it may be boy
who some day is going to startle the
sporting world by pitching a no-hit
game in a worlds series, a feat that
never has been accomplished.
1t may that he is wearing a New
York uniform now The coming series
will partly tell. Eagle-eyed, long-nosed
scouts have been trailing this man for
years. The Mathewson, the Browns,
the Adamses, the Coombs, the Ben
ders come and go and leave their
names indelibly written in the annals
of the game, but none has left the i'm
press of no-hit worlds series game.
One man came near to it. Edward
Marvin Ruelbach of the old Cubs came
within an ace of pitching a no-hit game
against the famous "hitless wonders"
the Chicago White Sox of 1906. John
Augustin Donahue-the "Jiggs" of the
long and lanky frame-spoiled the rec
ord by singing. Ruelbach won how
ever, z to /.
Two-Hit Games.
Five pitchers have twirled twohit
games. Two of them were in the same
series in which ReulbfSh made the
standing record. Three finger" Nor
decai Brown, for the Cubs and Ed
ward Armstrong Walsh, of the White
Sox each let down his opponents with
two hits, each winning, the former l
to 0, and the latter to 0. Seven
years passed before another mounds
man duplicated the feat Eddie Plank,
pitching against the Giants, allowed
only two hits on Oct. IL, 1918, and won
8 to /. Bill James of the Miracle
Braves was the next in the following
year. He shutout the Athletics and
won l to 0.
The last time the feat was perform
ed was in the 1921 series in which
the young Waite Hoyt calcimined the
Giants 8 to 0, by allowing but two
hits. Hoyt has another opportunity
this year. He did not reach form until
toward the close of the season but as
the championship approaches he has
delivered well.
Won Five Games
Jack Coombs of the Athletics and
Trolley Dodgers (now the Robins) is
the only worlds series pitcher to win
as many as five games and lose none.
He participated in six but was remov-
ed from one before the other side had
taken the lead. He had strained him.
self and retired with the score tied.
Christy Matthewson holds the rec
ord for scoreless innings in one worlds
series. He shutout the Athletics in
three straight games in 1905 with his
manipulated control, allowing only IA
hits in 81 innings, striking IS men
walking one, and hitting one. His
first inning against the Athletics next
is %.
Babe Ruth who now seems to resent
the fact that pitchers are permitted
to live has record approaching
Mathewsons. Babe holds the palm
for the greatest number of consecutive
innings in which he shut out his op
ponents in worlds series but it was
accumulated in two games in two
worlds series in 1916 and 1918.
