The Giants very nearly went into

Pirates.
A disputed decision in the fourth in

ment that Just stopped short of a riot

Carl Hubbell pitched great relief ball
after Watson Clark had been thumped
OF the slab in the first inning.
The Yankees troubles all came in

and Wiley Moore for seven runs. The
defeat ended the Yanks' nine-game

M be recalled that the Brook

in the second division, I'm
ished a very good third last year,
and at one time during the last
two weeks Of August was q good
second.
At that time there was . great deal
Of hurrah in Brooklyn over the posi-
bidty that the team might win the
championship. Brooklynites were keyed
up to an uproarious state Of excite
ment. With O'Doul leading the batters
Of the league and the remainder Of the
team playing fairly good ball. the club
vaulted from seventh place on July 23
until by the week end Of August 20 It
had reached second place. It stayed
there through August ~.
Then, finding the pace pretty hot.
Brooklyn fell OF to third place and
through the, month Of September until
the close Of the season 1t renamed
there. It was miles ahead Of New York
and that fact gave it something to brag
about. It even beat the Giants for the
individual batting championship, Is BIZ

NATURALLY the Brooklyn club
oficials thought this was . pretty
good sign that, with the addition
Of one or two young pitchers and some
other players Of promise, their chances
Of winning the pennant In 1888 would
be about as good IS those Of any club
In the league.
So they let Dazzy Vance, who had
lonk been their mainstay in the box. go
to St. Louis in trade and made otner
changes. They hired Joe judge TO play
first base, which seemed . pretty good
move, got Beck. Carroll and Benge for
the mound stad and felt assured that
thev had q more formidable team TO
take tho 6eld In 1888.
AS soon as the season opened tne
Dodgers began to show the lack pf Q

had been. They had nobody that coulo
