Dyer maintained. "The other clubs have improved, too. and I look for Brooklyn to give us our most trouble. with the Braves and Cuba also challenging us. But if we hustle every minute, if we play good alert ball and don’t have too many acidents, we'll win again." Dyer's nearly all-veteran team agrees with hint to a man.
