row."
The whole controversy over his al

athletes of that organization and over

out of his participation in the inter-
collegiate championships at Paris

Evans never got into an

a way Of listening that would
make the player think he was
giving deep consideration to what
he said. Then he would make
his decision just like judge does

And, remarkably enough, the
player would take it that way.

certainly knows exactly how a

Cleveland base bali clubs have been
known as Indians since the years that
city was represented in the National
League. The name was, linked with
the Forest City team, one of the hnest

days OF organized base ball and which
was referred to as the Indians from
the Forest City" When Nepoleon La

nickname became the Maps, in his

The ST. Louis Americans derived
their nickname, Browns. from the

The Detroit club back in the Ma
tional League was one of the first to
wear striped stockings. Theirs had
an orange colored stripe similar to
those. worn by Princeton foot ball
and base ball players, and hence the
nickname Tigers was applied. In. re-
cent years some writer's have been
spelling it "Tygers," in honor of Ty
Cobb.
The name Red Sox was given to the
Boston Americans by John I. Taylor
when he became president He got
the idea of shortening Red Stock

were known many years ago.
Connie Mack'S team always has been
called the Athletics, a name associ-

team became successful the name was
frequently applied in a humorous
way and finally was adopted, the
white elephant appearing as the club
