Sixteen years have elapsed since
Brooklyn last won a National league
pennant! BY coping this season the
athletes employed by Col. Charles
Hercules Ebbets will give the city of
churches its fourth flag in 26 cam
'paisns. -.., ~ t..-.
Brooklyn entered the National lea
que in 1890 and brought home the
bunting the first year. Fortune didn't
smile on the Dodgers again until 1899
when they grabbed another title. They
repeated their triumph in 1900. Only
once in the 26 years has the team
finished in the cellar. This was in
1905.
Since 1912 the Dodgers have bet
tered their position in the race each
year. The team finished seventh in
1912, sixth in 1913, fifth in 1914 and
third in 1915. In the short space of
two years Manager Wilbert Robinson
has won place among the successful
pilots in the big show.
The club was first known as the
Trolley Dodgers but this nickname
was changed to the Superbas when
Ned Hanlon became pilot. The name
owed its origin to "Hanlon's Super

+ the playing position Of the linesmen
and backfeld before the ball is hurled.
1t will be remembered that for the
past three years player to participate
in a forward pass must be either an
end or one of the backfield men. This
same rule applies this season but
any man to aid in the completion Of
a pass must be at least one yard back
of the line of scrimmage before tho
ball is snapped from center to quar-
terback. This rule aims at the quar-
ter directly as there are many who
crouch so close to their center that
they will be ineligible unless chang
ing their mode of attack.
Another rule that is of interest is
the one that has been in vogue for
several seasons. In many instances
guard playing who is demon on a
straight line smash and when one or
more yards is needed to complete the
necessary ten yards he will call this
linesman back to make the play. This
year when a linesman is called back
to carry the ball he must stand at
least five yards behind the line Of
scrimmage before commencing the
play. This rule still holds good for
all backfield men carrying the ball.
Failure to Report for Play.
A team not reporting for play at
the beginning of the second half when
summoned by the referee shall not
only lose Is yards, the penalty here
tofore imposed, but will also forfeit
it's right to choice of goals.
