Last time the Browns were here—it was in June—the Nationals took four games from them. But what a job they had doing that well.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. F Brooklyn fans were the kind [ to take anything calmly where base ball was concerned, they would have a good chance now to sit back watching the gyrations of some of their National League rivals and say “I told you so.” Brooklyn’s Robins took a lot of punishment early in the season, when they were fziling to live up to pre-season predictions, but now they look like the one club which may give the St. Louis Cardinals a run for their money. In the last week the Robins have climbed into second place at the ex- pense of two powerful clubs, St. Louls and Chicago, shortly after a triumph over the New York Giants had put |them within striking distance of the | place. | Meeting the same teams, the Giants | have lost six out of eight games While | Brooklyn's 4-3 triumph over the Cubs | yesterday made # five victories in |elght contests.
