MUSIC THE SEMINOLE' FANS. 1AVE ORGANIZED TO FURNISH SPORT TOR BATESBURG BASEBALL LOVERS. At a meeting of enthusiastic fans ;ome days ago in the Mayor's office, i base ball club was organized to urnish sport and amusement for the < atmmer months. Capt. W. M. Carer was elected President of the organization, W. C. Bates, Vice Presiient; M. W. Perry, Manager, Secetary and Treasurer; and W. C. Sates, Chairman Finance Committee. \ few nights later a "constitution" vas adopted, and, by unanimous ote, the club was named "The , scmiribles." The name will unInn bfpfU V Q ftrirt nffor?flA? I - ? ?j v?wv4uvi uv.iv.miv/ii, aiiLi ; t is hoped the name-sake will find iubscriptions as easy to get as the 1 >riginal. The Seminoles are dc- 1 ermined to go one better than the irst holders of that cognomen and airnish the real article. The name was propitious and aroved to be a Billiken at the jump, For more than enough to buy uniEorms was raised at this meeting. Everyone will have a chance to contribute towards putting the diamond at the hair Grounds in proper shape. If given the proper support, the team will be self-supporting when the season opens. There are plans on foot for the organization of a four circuit association with Ridge Springs, Johnston, Trenton and Batesburg. Mr. i Perry is a hustling manager, and under his leadership, some such or-! ganization may be effected. Local team work will begin in a few days. The Manager stated he has some good stuff for a team in view, and will soon convince the skeptical that Batcsburg can get up a team and support it.
