accomplish on the attack this afternoon.

Giants over the White Sox, by to 5.
Bancroft brought in four runs and was
responsible for two more. His second
circuit clout, in the fourth inning, drove
Kelly and Snyder in ahead of him. They
had singled. His first homer opened the
game and cleared the fence by about
thirty feet. At the Polo Grounds those
four base drives. would have gone into
the center field bleachers. The homers

double and that prodigious fly to left
came while he was hitting left handed
against the right handed flinging of
little Jose Acosta.
Once more the entire New York club
labored with vim and strained to take
advantage of every opportunity. Again
the Giants cut up in the field and pun
ished the ball with terrific force. For
this morning they were treated to a
novelty, a pre-lunch workout which is
not the usual thing on the road and an
other little sermon from John McGraw.
