THINKS
HIS SQUAD HAS
CHANCE To WIN
Prospects Are as Bright as
Those of Any Team in the

nv Charles II. Ebbcts.

president of the Brooklyn Nationals
The pennant prospects of my team
are as bright as those of any of the
clubs that are mixed in the thrilling
National league battle-but no bright
ed It's a fight such as baseball new
er has seen before. and although 1
have the absolute confidence IN my
team il would be foOlhardy for me
TO claim the pennant now.
Baseball is an uncertain game-and
this year. above all others, is a year
OF uncertainty. In this battle, Where
at least five teams seem almost even
~ matched, the result may remain IN
doubt until the last week of the sea-
son.
The Brooklyn team is a young
team: practically a new team. OF
the Il men under contract. nine are
wearing Brooklyn uniforms for the
first time, Csix of these. in fact, never
had major league experience prior 10
this season.. OF the remaining ,
five have been under contract 10
Brooklyn for two seasons and the sew
en- others for three years or more.
The team, as il is now constituted,
is a smooth working. fast travelling
machine. But the welding together
took time-and the experiments cost
Of the season. We got away poorly
and didn't really start until July 1, by
which time Mgr. Robinson had Sc
cured the winning combination.
Since July 1 the Brooklyns have
greatly improved in all departments,
and making q wonderful squirt from
last place to second. 1t has been said
they are travelling beyond their real
speed. but This l believe is not true;
on the contrary, had the boys batted
as they did i'm 1913 and 1914, they
would be so far ahead at this time
that il would be impossible to over
take them.
The boys deserve great credit for
the good work done to date
The team is a we'll balanced team.
IL has an exceptionally strong pitch
ing staff; it is ambitious has conf
dence in its ability. it works har-
moniously and it is fighting and
hustling all the time
Wherever the team finishes I shall
be satisfied with the knowledge that
they have done their best.
The total mechanical power in the
United States is estimated at 12O, 0OO,-
