Clubs Brooklyn Boston Philadelphia Baltimore St. Cincinnati Pittsburg Chicago Louisville Louis.. New York.. Washington The pennant race of 1899 was won by the Brooklyn Club after an interesting struggle. The start found the Cleveland team transferred to St. Louis and Brooklyn strengthened by the consolidation with Baltimore. The St. Louis team threatened to make a runaway race of it during the first few weeks, maintaining the lead for over a month. It was finally passed on May 22 by Brooklyn, which held the lead continuously thereafter until the finish, a period of twentytwo weeks, the longest on record in the twelveclub league. It was assailed at times by Boston and Philadelphia, but was never even tied. Financially, the season was an improvement over that of 1898, but not to a great extent. The Cleveland attendance at Brooklyn did not tome up to expectations, despite the fact that a championship team represented this borough. The team drew more people abroad than at home, and owing to an expensive salary list and extensive purchase of players, its profits were reduced to something like $10,000. Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Pittsburg made money. Louisville balanced accounts, and New York, Washington and Cleveland lost money. New York, in particular, had a bad season, a weak team, which the management failed to strengthen, being poorly supported. The Clevelands played few games at home, being forced early in the season, through lack of patronage, to transfer its schedule to other cities. Later, the Louisville Club followed the same tactics.
