But thl* IM will be different The aterllng qualities of the Brooklyn fan* who had remained dogged ly loyal to “our bum*'' through the lean yearn, had won practically the entire country to their side. There wan a tumultuous celebration in flrand Central terminal In Manhattan last night when the team arrived from Boston where It clinched the pennant by defeating the Boston Brave*. 6 to 0, while the Pittsburgh Pirate* were defeating the runner-up St lx>ui* Cardinal*. 3 to I. The hysterical, trended mob lore the shirt* off their heroes, waving such placard* a* "our buma done It.'* and "Duroch|er for mayor." It would hav- done ' more but there were too many | (mllcemen on hand. There wa* tumult on a smaller ‘ scale at the various hotels here where the player* live, when they ' arrived from Manhattan, but police I kept It mild. Until bar* and tavern* dosed at 4 a. n>., fan* filled the night with A trended jabbering. Intermingled with cheer*. There were Impromptu paradra along Flatbush avenue and even through wealthy and sedate Bay Ridge and Brooklyn Heighta. but on the whole the night passed without major incident. The fan* had waited 21 year* for their pennant and now they had it. they found it difficult to believe. The loyalty of the** fan* challenge* language.

The phenomenon of Brooklyn and Brooklyn fans la understood unthinkingly by New Yorker* and I* rarely aiplalned to outalder*. Brooklyn I* a borougllh of Now York City. aeraaa the East river from the borough of Manhattan which is all of New York most vinltora see. and It ha* a national reputtaion of bring a mad houewsort of place where the citlaens speak a peculiar dialect.

Therefore, Brooklyn's reaction ip It* new glory wa* little different than Cleveland'* world have been had their Indian* won in the American league. Judge Hamuel 8.

John McGraw, then manager of the Giants, never forgave Robinson for accepting it. The quarrel between the manager* developed into a feud between the teams and then one between the fans. Xi| Dodger fans are the most loyal to the players they like and the moat terrible or. the ones they disI like.
