Sill! DON'T SAY FARMERS:
STALLINGS WON'T LIKE IT

Mail carriers are still kept working
overtime carting the letters of baseball
fans to the STAR office. No choice as
to the nickname for the Newark East
ern League team will be made until
Manager George r. Stallings arrives
in town, and then it will require some
time before the manager finishes his
perusal of all the names suggested.
One fan suggests the nickname Farm
ers." Sounds good enough, but will
hardly be accepted by Stallings, who
is trying to have it known that the
Newark Club is not a farm for the
New York Americans. Following are
some of the letters received today:

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Taking advantage of your invitation
to suggest a nickname for the baseball
team representing the city of Newark
in the Eastern League, l would Suggest
that the Newark team be nicknamed
Thaumaturgers. Why? Well, fort
following reasons: First of all, the
manager, Mr.. Stallirgs, is a hustler.
He has that stick-to-itness that means
do or die, and with him the game is
never lost till the last man is out,
Again, Mr.. Stallings has really by hi
work with other baseball teams proved
himself to be a Wonder-worker. l an
firmly convinced that we will enjoy !
pennant winner in our city this year
Hence, l suggest the name Thaumat-
urgers, or to translate it into plait
English, wonder-workers, for the New
ark team. Yours,
r. j. DONNELLY.
