Powell has already stated that he wanted his baseball club organized with business men at the helm handling the finances. He plans to perfect his organization at session. Henderson has been without any real baseball since the Piedmont League passed out here in 1931. Independent teams have been organized during the intervening years, and last year a team was entered in a semipro loop with several towns nearby.

The league is made up of Sema- Smithfield, Sanford. Angier and Erwin, last entrants, and Henderson and Oxford, who joined the loop this year. A wealth of baseball material can be found around here to carry on the team, and some talent can be secured from nearby places, making a very strong team. 1842 Herschel, noted hydraulic engineer of his day, born in Boston.
