The Brooklyns suffered the first defeat in team history today, as they fell to Washington in a sloppily played game. Both clubs committed numerous errors in the 14-5 game, with Brooklyn’s chief offenders being catcher John Crowley, outfielders Jim Fogarty and Willie Murphy, and first baseman Tug Wilson, all of whom committed multiple mistakes in the field. A two-hit performance by Oscar Walker together with two runs scored was nearly the only bright spot for the young club.
