How About Indiansf
Newark, Feb. 90.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-In reference to a nickname
for our team this year, how about
Indians? They will hit the war path,
all right, and we all hope they will
have the Indian sign on all the
other teams. THREE-BAGGER.

10 the Sporting Editor of the Evening Starr
Dear Sir-My suggestion for a name
for the Newark team this year would
be 1.-The Invincibles." Now that
Burnham has lost control of the New
ark team n with a man like Stall
ings as his successor we will have-a
pennant winning team You will sell
more STARS TITS season than you did
last year, because the people will seeg
some good playing from the Newark
aggregation.
From a fan n a reader of your
paper, Yours truly,

Here's a Good One.
To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening star:
Dear Sir-Several days ago while
walking through Lincoln Park my at
tention was called to hundreds of birds
which were perched on the tree tops.
Being somewhat a lover of nature l
recognized the birds as members of the
starting family. Within the last ten
years his species of our "feathery
friends has increased to very large
numbers. particularly in this part of
the State.
Besides knowing a bird, a fly or a
foul when I see one, I also consider
myself a chronic "fan,'' so after read
ing some of the suggestions pertaining
to the christening of the 1908 Newark
baseball team / take pleasure in SUBJ
hitting the name "Starlings' for Man
ager Stallings's aggregation.
l think the name very appropriate.
With the name of the manager, STALL
ings. and The Morning and EVEN
ING STAR to record all star plays
made by the said "Stallings,'' there
is no doubt but what the fans of
Newark n vicinity will have a team
this year that will win a pennant that
will lily Is high as the birds which
created my suggestion.
Success to Stallings's "Starllngs'' and
THE STARS (mQrning and EVENING",
Yours respectfully, ED. j. EARLE.

Adds Beavers to List.
Newark, n. J., Feb. II, 1903.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening star:
Dear Sir-Since suggesting ''Sta1-
warts Lions n Stations as a
nickname for the Newark baseball
team, l would like to add one other to
my list, and that is Beavers For per-
~sistent, hard work. even when OBJ
stacles are presented. there is no ex-
ample like that of a beavers energy.
So to gain confidence for success this
name ought to inspire it. | am in
hearty accord with sOld Sports adj
vice in this evenings STAR when he
states: Don't expect too much of the
Newark team" Therefore. names like
"Invincibles," 'Reliables,' Conquer
ors," etc. would be subject to ridicule
and sarcasm if the team should suffer
q few defeats, which according to
records of all past teams, is most ike
ly to. occur. Yours truly,
AN OLD-TIME FAN"
