Major league baseball teams nave been nicknamed almost everything from Infants to Bean- eaters to Giants. There was a ra pid turnover of names until shortly after the turn of the cen- turv whpn most nf ihp nrpsnr) day tags were adopted. ( The oldest, most consistently used moniker is that of the New York Giants. First used in 1835, the name has hung on down through the years. The Cincinnati Reds were dubbed the Red Stock ings in 1883, but in 1891 the name was changed. The change lasted only one year. Thereafter the Cincinnati entry again became known as the Reds. j The most recent change occur- I red in 1943 when the Philadel phia Phillies adopted the Blue Jay symbol as a result of fans' votes. However, the name Phil lies still clings. Brooklyn owns the longest list of unusual names. Prior to being cal ed Dodgers, they were known as Bridegrooms, Superbas, In fants and Robins. Even the name Dodgers is just a shortening of the real name of Trolley Dodg ers. Revolutionary processes work ed overtime i$ deriving Cleve land's modern day name of Indi ans. Prior to 1915, they had used the names of Spiders, Wanderers, Exiles, Blues, Naps and Molly Maguires. Pittsburgh names have run from one extreme to the other. kit: y.yi V v Try5 sftt'sr "TP 1 ? -.it J -1 A. .. 1, 3 i .- "V. .-.ttf - . .-b At The Cass County Court House i Soldiers of the Haganah pio of the proclamation of the new State c with the Haganan later reported saiK render of the Arab cicv of Acre ough a strei't 01 nana, jt: usdiL-m, ui a v icioi cciuuianuu Israel.
