Major league baseball teams
have been nicknamed almost
everything from Infants to
Beaneaters to Giants. There
was a rapid turnover Of names
until shortly after the turn OF
the century when most OF the
present day tags were adopted.
The oldest, most consistent
ly used moniker is that OF the
New York Giants. First used
in 1885, the name has hung
on down through the years.
The Cincinnati Reds were
dubbed the Red Stockings in
1888, but in 1891 the name was
changed. The change lasted
only one year. Thereafter the
Cincinnati entry again became
know as the Reds.
The most recent change oc-
Cured in 1913 when the Phil
adelphia Phillies adopted the
Blue Jay symbol as a result
of fans votes. However, the
name Phillies still clings.
Brooklyn owns the longest
list Of unusual names. Prior
to being called Dodgers, they
were known as Bridegrooms,
Superbas, Infants and Robins.
Even the name Dodgers is just
a shortening of the real name
Of Trolley Dodgers.
Evolutionary proc e S :
worked overtime in deriving
Cleveland's modern day name
Of Indians. Prior to 1915, they
had used the names Of Spiders.
Wanderers, Exils, Blues, Maps
and Molly Maguires.
Pittsburgh names have run
from one extreme to the other.
Originally known as Innocents
the club was dubbed the Pr
ates in 1891.
The Boston National Lea
que entry, at one time called
the Beaneaters, were known
as the Bees from 1886 to 1941.
But then the label was again
changed to Braves.
Do any Of you know whose
official nickname is Nationals ?
Fans ballots changed the ma
tons capitol city team from
Senators to Nationals. How
ever, the vote result was not
binding with sports scribes,
who incidentally, have been
responsible for a majority Of
the monickers attached to the
10 major league teams.

THE SPORTS TRAIL
By Dick Lebbs

Since. ia major league base
ball clubs have done their
share to promote American
good will by making foreign
jaunts at various intervals.
Evidently four trips to Japan
prior to World War II failed
to cement ideologies even
though the sport caught on
with the Japanese and today
ranks as one of their favorite
pastimes.
The first foreign trip to be
made by top professionals was
in 1874. Boston and Philadel-
phia played a series of IA
games in addition to seven
cricket matches. The first
game took place in Liverpool
on July 3. The last was played
in Dublin, August rs.
Until 1886 the. teams stayed
within the country. But that
fall the two Philadelphia ag-
gregations made a trip to
Cuba. Later on in the autumn
other trips to Cuba were or
gained by Connie Mack and
John McGraw.
Two years later the frs
round the world tour was
made Twenty players were in
cluded in the group which
played their first game in
Auckland, New Zealand, on
December 10. The tour was
not concluded until March %
att Dublin.
Charles Comiskey and John
McGraw sponsored the second
world tour made in 1913-1o14.
This group Of transformers
followed the same general
route as the first, although
they went to Japan first and
worked down the eastern coast
of Asia to Australia.
All these tours met with
considerable success. Conse-
quently, an extensive tour was
planned of the European con-
tinent in 1924. After a series
Q contests in England, Ireland
and France, the rest of the trip
was cancelled because the
Europeans WEREN'T interested
in seeing Americans play ball.
At least from the financial
standpoint, the tour was a dis
NAL failure. Outstanding men
of the day such as Ted Lyons,
Herold Ruel, Casey Stenge1,
Hank Gowdy, Travis Jackson
and Frank Frisch were partic-
ipants in the Inflated venture.
Three times within the last
50 years American baseball
missionaries have visited Jap
an. The All-American stars,
led by Herbert Hunter, played
