Today the Brooklyn Atlantics completed their first full month of top flight baseball with a loss to the St. Louis Browns, falling 11-6 mostly due to a seven-run third inning that opened the scoring. This put the club at 12-9 for its first month, a completely respectable finish. Willie Murphy and Adonis Terry have been the best players for the team so far, and there are several other players who have shown themselves to be acceptable players on a good team, such as Oscar Walker, Fred Warner and Billy Geer. They seem to lack the star power that the pennant favorites in Philadelphia have, but given time it appears this club can represent the borough quite well.
