II the National League desires to retain It's position
as major league the hour is about ripe for those In
charge go and get busy on the job There isn't
any question but that through 1916 the older circuit was
utterly absolutely and irrevocaby outclassed Brooklyn
was good enough win pennan and yet We doubt very
much, after having watched both leagues all season,
whether Brooklyn could have finished fifth In the john
sonan circuit You write down certainty that
Brooklyn couldn't have beaten out Boston, Detroit or
Chicago the A. L. and don't believe she could have
finished ahead of the Yanks and Browns.
