the past fourteen yscEs. The local
fans" were asked to christen the
club, and as a result the committee Sc
lected from the sporting writers of the three
local papers have hit upon Nationals" as
the most appropriate name suggested.
Something like $500 names were sent to
President Noyes of the Washington club,
and of this number 800 were distinct APP
pellations. All of the suggestions were
carefully sorted out and placed In alpha
betieal order and the list was something
formidable. Think of 800 distinct names
and It can easily be seen that there are lots
of nicknames that can be thrown at a ball
club Strange to say, very little humor
bobbed up in the competition and of the
$500 suggestions there was not one that
was In any way abusive or disrespectful
Every one who entered into the contest
took the matter to heart and seriously sug-
gested what they believed would be a good
title for the club. This interest in the
Washington club is something unusual and
the officials were very much gratified over
the showing, and return thanks to the in
terested ones for their kindness In trying to
start the club and season with an appro-
pirate nom de plume.
