BROOKLYN'S FIFTH
FLAG IN NATIONAL
Marks Pennant No. 8 Since
1890, First Year Robins
Broke in Veteran League

This Is the fifth time Brooklyn has
won National league pennant.
Brooklyn CAPTURED the flag in 1890,
The year II made its debut in the
National league, with practically the
same team that had won the flag
the year before in the American as
soctation under the same manager,
William H. McGunnigle. On the
team were such great players as
Fouts on first base. Collins on Sec
ond. Pinckney on third, Smith at
short. O'Brien, Corkhili, Burns and
Donovan in the outfield: Daily, Bush
ong and Clark behind the bat: Low
stt Carruthers, Terry and Hughes
IN the box. II was Lovett's pitching
that had great bearing on Broolxlyh's
triumph. The portly finger led the
league with q percentage of 1927.
1t was not until 1899 that Brook
iyn again came through at the head
OF the National league procession,
and again IL was with borrowed"
team. That was the first year of
the transplanted Baltimore team at
Washington park. Mccain and Jen-
nings played first base, DAILY second,
Casey third. Dahlen short. Kelley left
ueld. Keller center and Jones right.
Farrell and MCGUIRE were the catch
ers and Hughes. Kennedy, Dunn and
McJames the pitchers. John Ander-
son was used at first and in right
field as emergency required.
The following year. 1900, Brooklyn
repeated. Changes had been made
IN the team, Gene De Montreville al
ternating with Tom Daily at second
and Lave Cross playing third. Jim
my Sheckard was in left field, Joe
Kelley covering first at times. Joe
McGinnity and Frank kitson had
been added to the pitching staff.
Jimmy Hughes topped the league
pitching list in 1889 with the excel
lent mark Of 1928 and McGinnity
headed 1t in 1900 with a record Of
.T69.
1t was 16 years later that Brooklyn
won its pennant. After the Gradual
disintegratian of the champions Of
1S99-1900 the club drifted aimlessly
about. From 1902 when 1t finished
third, 1t never landed higher than
fifth until 1916, when it was third
to Philadelphia and Boston. This
was such startling improvement
that 1t forecast an early pennant
triumph'for Brooklyn and when Will
bert Robinson led his cohorts safely
across the championship goal in 1915
; there was no great surprise. The
following year the Dodgers suffered
an awful slump due to dissatisfac-
ton. From champion team it fell

Ing their shame and disgrace. But
behind the scenes the scheming
gamblers worked. doing out paltry
sums for the purchase of mems
honor, that they might fatten their
purses hundred fold. And behind
the scenes. outside the spotlight OF
public attention, they are hiding to-
day. Public scorn will not bother
them because to them the public
means nothing more than a field
productive of fraudulent profits.
They cannot lose public respect be-
cause they never had it. Only the
law can make them vince. We hope
the law reaches them. They were
willing to destroy the cleanest pro-
fesslonal sport in Amfrica for greed
and profit. Ball players were mere
tools for them, mere pSAwns In a
