NICKNAME CONTEST
FOR NEWARK TEAM
STEADILY GROWING
Letters of Fans Flowing in So
That It's Impossible to
Print All. q
SOME BREAK INTO POETRY
IN LAUDING LOCAL TEAM
Numerous Suitable Suggestions
Received, but It's Still
an Open Race.

The baseball nickname contest is still
in full swing. Letters from fans come
pouring in SO fast that it Is impossible
to print all of them. Many contribu-
tors have broken into poetry in lauding
the Newark team. Some of the nick
names suggested follow:
Substitute for Farmers.
Newark, N. j., Feb. 90.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-If you think Manager Stall
ings would not like the name Far
mers,'' perhaps the Students" the
Scholars" or the Graduates" would
be liked better. The Newarks will no
doubt graduate from the second to the
first division class, and if they don't
win the pennant this season, why next
season, they being good scholars and
under the leadership of a good man
ager, will graduate to pennant winners
for Newark in 1909. Yours truly,
A BASEBALL BUG.
Everwilliugs.
Newark, N. j., Feb. 10. 1908.
To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I nave read with interest
the man, names suggested by the fans
for the coming baseball team, and 1
would suggest the Everwillings. Yours
truly, +. MEMMOT.
27S Eleventh street.
How About the Noahse
Newark, N. j., Feb. Is, 1908.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-In regard to a nickname
for the Newark Eastern League nine
for 1908, / would call them the 'Noahs,"
because Newark is in relation to h
Ark, and Noah was the head of h
Ark-therefore It would be a good idea
to have the nickname represent the
original name as much as possible,
which is Newark. Hoping to see the
bunting wave in Newark next season,
I am yours very truly,
THE SACRED HEART A. A.
C. J. Henry, secretary.
Call Them NuegetsA
Newark, N. j., Feb. u, 1908.
10 the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-I think a good Nickname
for the Newarks this year You'd be
the Nuggets" L will tell you why,
because a good team here is a gold
mine, and the players would be h
nuggets. Yours truly,
EDWARD HUEBNER.
1873 Van Buren, street.
IndnstriaIs.
Newark, N. J., Feb. 10, 1908.
To the sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I think the "~Sluggers' or
the .Industrials'' would be a good nick
name for the Newarks. For under
S%tallings's leadership and the fact. that
Newark is an industrious city, with
many baseball enthusiasts to help the
club financially by their attendance at
the games. Yours truly,
100 South street. JOSEPH WOLF.
