Remaining the Washington Club.

The names submitted in the competition
for a nickname for the Washington Base
Ball Club to take the place of Senators will
soon be in the hands of the committee.
There were 1906 suggestions received; 1,J00
have been classified and the balance will
soon be in shape. In the 1,50o there were
sG2 distinct names. All the possible changes
Mr.. Stahl's name have been rung, the
latest suggestion being to call the club the
"Starlings. Respondent suggestion is the
Moneyburners. name with a good deal
TO il which cropped up late is the New
Eras. and the committee will probably give
some thought to the suggestions "Peni
tents, indicators and Buffers"
In the batch of letters there are many
that are interesting not only from the
names suggested, but from the interest the
writer's show in the success of the team.
These letters come not only from Washing
ton, but from all parts of the country One
writer out in Maryland has this to say

have represented Washington and their
varied success for more than thirty odd
years, the old Nationals. the Olympics. etc.

To begin with, three very suitable names
nave been on my mind since the reading of
the public's desire. They are: First Phoe-
nix; second Eureka third, Levant Either
OF these words, each one fraught with
meaning. would in my opinion, be an ap-
propriate name for the reconstructed Sena-
tors.
However. my choice very strongly ia
vors the first name mentioned, that is
Phoenix, for the team being raised from
the ashes of a tail end aggregation to what
believe they are capable of doing. or
being either fourth or fifth place should
have just such name.
In some of the games played last sea-
son. and lost by very close margin to
the eyes and mind of a dyed-in-the-wool
fan. they were indeed heart breaking, and
although fan had the full worth of the
price paid for admission, the loss of those
closely played games liaser in the memo
ries of the loyal fan with pain. Now IL

Hans Wagner yesterday signed a con-
tract to play with the Pittsburg club this

''The Washington Stars"
The advent of local capital and control
of the club and the new policy inaugurated
by them was the star event in the base
ball history of Washington.
Let the flight of the new club be meteoric
and may their luster never be dimmed.
Should the team succeed in lifting Itself
out of last place, they will truly be stars.
not only in the hearts of the local fans.
but they will twinkle throughout the en-
tire base ball world.
star upon each shirt and smaller one
upon each cap would materially assist in
substantiating the name l have submitted.
Nationals"
cannot understand why they ever
dropped the name of that peerless club, to
be dubbed the Senators" 1t is certainly
a fact that they have been a most disastrous
failure ever since. The Nationals as they
used to play on their grounds at 18th and
r streets in the early eighties with Gerhard.
Derby, Lynch, Trott, Sadie Houck and the
rest, were the finest Washington or any
other city has seen. There are hundreds
of citizens who remember seeing that mig
nificent club. the only one that ever sue
ceeded in Washington. 1t seems to me
that the old name would be more dignifled
and give the club more of its old prestige
than any of the fancy names suggested.
Ask the veterans, Uncle Nick Young or
Capt Bennett, which would be the most ap-
propriate name and 1 will wager they will
say the Nationals. BY all means give us
back our old red stocking Nationals?
Executives.
The name suggests, first: Action-not 'hot
air. Second: To carry Out-not, to at
tempt Third: It's home-the executive city
of the federal government. Fourth: That
the promise made to the Washington pub
lie annually for the past fifteen years for
a good team is al last to be carried out
executed. Fifth and last, but not least: The
pennant-which is theirs if they are capable
of carrying out the instructions given by
their manager.
''Teddies."
Because our President is ncknamed Ted
DIV and therefore, the title would be Sug-
gestive of strenuosity and pertinacity, two
qualifications very essential to the success
of ball team.

BRITT A LOBBYIST.
Little Fighter Helped to Defeat Anti
Boxing Bill.

Jimmy Britt is given credit for helping
along the defeat of Senator Ralston's anti
boxing bill by the California assembly.
James Edward recently went to Sacra-
mento, and his visit created a stir among
the country members. They expected to
see a broken-nosed, low-browed tough with
"A caulifiower ear and other unsightly ap-
pendageS. Instead they met a well-dressed,
suave, good-looking young man. glib of
speech and possessing the self-confidence
OF a young millionaire. who entered a
strong plea for the manly art of self-dc-
Tense. Britts admirers think the native
son" changed the opinions of several men,
bers who were in favor of the bill.
The defeat of the measure insures boxing
in San Francisco for some time to come,
and the Yosemite A. c. will be able to go
through with the match between Britt and
Battling Nelson. Jimmy Coffroth has a
contract with the two. but will have to wait
until next month to pull off the bout.
Nelson. in a recent letter to a friend
complains that Britt has not put up his
forfeit money for the match The Battler
made his deposit of $1,000 a forfeit to
fight Britt before he met Corbett last week
Nelson is of the opinion that James Ed
ward may sidetrack him, after all, to take
on JabeZ White, who now is his way
here from England.

the profits cleaned up at the Polo Grounds
during 1908 and 1904. But no figures of ac-
curacy have beegr published untf now. The
New York Sun vas Informed yesterday on
the best of authorfty>that the club made,
above all expenses, in the last two years.
$4,000 and that last year close to 100000
was cleaned up. From that time John B.
Day made nearly $4,000 clear profit in
1888 and 1889 with the New Yorks, who won
the pennant twice In succession under the
management of James Mutrie and the cap
taincy OF Buck Ewing. The New York club
Travelled a rough road up to the season of
1894, when John NJ. Wards team finished
second and won the Temple cup. That year
the club made $4,000. which enabled the
owners to get back what they had sunk.
and also prompted them to sell 81 per cent
of the club for $4,000. Under new owner
ship the club did not prosper to a great
extent until Brush am McGraw assumed
the reins, with the abdee result These prof
its exceed ali previous records, unless they
were equaled at one time by the Boston
Nationals dozen years ago. Soden, Con-
ant and Billings, the owners of the Boston
Nationals, are said to have made 50, 250. 900
out of base ball in twenty years All of
which goes to show that there is money in
a winning ball club located in a big city,
and that the National League has been
saved from possible disaster by the unusual
patronage of late at the Polo Grounds.

The lobby of the Ebbitt House presented
an animated appearance this morning when
the members of the Boston Americans
crowded into the hosiery from the ~
O'Clock train President Taylor of the club,
who had come on ahead of the team, was
on hand to welcome Manager Collins and
his players, and numerous friends in this
city soon had the men telling of their win
ter experiences.
The party was made up as follows: Pres
ident Taylor. Manager Collins, Tim Muir

the folio ing players: Doran, Farrell, Fer

o Brien. instead, Parent, Stahl, Shaeffer,
Unglaub Winter and Burkett.
President Taylor brought down with him
his prize bull dog Nelson, and he was i'm
mediately christened Battling Nelson by
'Hobe" Ferris. who took him in charge
and showed him off to the spectators with
the greatest ceremony and pride. Manager
Collins Immediately hooked on to Battling
Nelson as the clubs mascot, and he will
probably travel with the team throughout
Cy Young. AL Selbach, "Buckarene" Free
man and Lou Criger are out at Hot Springs
and will join the team in Macon.
All the boys in the group present an I'M
usually good appearance, and the veteran
jesse Burkett came in for numerous con-
CALCULATIONS. as he is fully thirty pounds
under his weight of last season and will UNI
dOubtedy prove to the prophets of st.
Louis that he is still one of the best players
in the country. Chick Stahl is also in
prime condition. and it goes without saying
that the Boston outfield has already been
decided upon for the coming season. Big
Lachance appeared to be in his usually fine
trim, and young Mr.. Grimshaw will have
his work cut out for him to push George off
the initial corner of the champions inheld.
Manager Collins. as usual with him, had
little 10 say about his players except that
everybody looked to be in fine shape and
that he was sure all the boys would do their
best to win a third championship, and moth
ing more could be asked.
The Boston team will leave Washington
tonight at 10 80. and should reach Macon,
Ga. tomorrow evening, so that the players
will be ready to start in work Monday
morning.
Manager Jake Stahl looked little lone
some this morning. as none of his men had
reported up to noon, and he joined the
group of Boston players in discussing the
coming season. Stahls old friends of the
Boston club had nothing but words of praise
for his playing ability in speaking to The
Star reporter. and every one predicted
good season ahead for the young manager.
The dean of the Boston newspaper corps,
Tim Murnane, especially praised Manager
Stahl. and placed himself on record as pre-
dieting that he would undoubtedly make
good here if left alone and given any sort
of encouragement. 1t is more than likely
that all the Washington players will reach
the city by tomorrow night and be in readi-
ness to take the train to charlottesville

Institute team last night in the formers
gymnasium showed wonderful improvement
over the first game, as the strong Carroll
team only managed to beat them by a
score of Ii to 10, while in the former game
they had q runaway race.
Both teams were about evenly matched.
The Presbyterian boys took the lead and
for time the score stood 3 to = in
their favor, but the CAROLS managed to
forge ahead before the half ended and the
score stood 6 to 4. The CAROLS had the
advantage of the better basket in the
second half and ran the score up to 13,
while the losers could get but 10.
The Presbyterian team was considerably
strengthened by the presence of James and

the Carroll team last season. The lineup:
