The boys of the Atlantic ball club had another difficult afternoon today, as they welcomed St. Louis, the defending pennant winners, to Washington Park. The boys battled hard, but ultimately fell by a score of 9-5. In the end, Brooklyn simply could not stop Walt Goldsby and Big Jim Clinton at the top of the lineup for St. Louis. In the top two spots, the pair went 6 for 11 with four runs scored and four driven in. That simply was too much for the Dodgers to overcome today. It appears that the club may be at its proper level in the middle third of the American Association. Although that is respectable for a first year ball club, it does feel a bit disappointing given the auspicious start.
