In 1908, the Newark Sailors changed their name to the Newark Indians. From the start, the team featured great pitching - in '08 Tom Hughes led the Eastern League in strikeouts, in '09 Joe McGinnity led in wins (29), games (55) and strikeouts (195) while allowing just 297 hits in 422 innings, in '10 McGinnity won 30 and Rube Waddell went 5-3 and McGinnity continued as player-manager for two more years. In '13 the team won the International League pennant but they slipped from there and by '16 were in last place in the IL. The team was replaced by the Newark Bears in 1917.
