Overview

The Class C South Atlantic League of 1909 started and ended with eight teams. One of them, the Charleston Seagulls, had difficulty around mid-season and the franchise and team were transferred to Knoxville. Currently the Knoxville team is referred to as the Appalachians, some newspaper writers of the times called the new team the Orphans, and at times the Pioneers.

News and Notes

  • The Board of Directors of the South Atlantic League met at Augusta. Ga., on July 1 and decided to end the present season Saturday night, July 3, and start a new season Monday, July 5.
