== 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. In 1909 the Knoxville team was 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. The Charleston franchise, which was turned over to the League on June 26, was transferred to Knoxville, Tenn., and all games scheduled to be played with Charleston will be played in Knoxville, the new season commencing Monday, July 5. - [http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1909/VOL_53_NO_18/SL5318021.pdf ''Sporting Life'' - Philadelphia, PA - July 10, 1909] - LA84.org

* At Knoxville, August 30, during the Knoxville-Chattanooga game, scores of wasps, aroused by the humming of pop bottles about their nest, flew in the grandstand during the seventh inning and divided interest with exciting play. The wasps took the excitement as an attack on them and answered it quickly, clearing a section of the overcrowded grandstand. The game ended with the angry wasps in possession of the field. - [http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1909/VOL_54_NO_02/SL5402024.pdf ''Sporting Life'' - Philadelphia, PA - Sept. 18, 1909] - LA84.org
