In his only major league season, Ancker, who was a pitcher, compiled no record with a 3.57 earned run average (ERA) in four games, one start. He did not play in the professional baseball circuit from 1916 to 1918, but made his return in 1919 with the Double-A Binghamton Bingoes of the International League. No statistics were kept for that season, but it is known that Ancker pitched two games with the Bingoes.
