Pictured are: (top row, from left to right) Frank Case (3rd base), Guy Witherspoon (shortstop), Robert Edwards, Lawrence Schweer (1st base); (middle row, from left to right) Aubrey Terrell (right fielder), Will Edwards (Manager), Ford Witherspoon (2nd base); (bottom row from left to right) Alex Hann (pitcher), Timmons, Bala Williams (left fielder), Ed Hann (catcher). The club was organized in 1901 and its quarters were in the Wright Building. According to an article in the Denton Record-Chronicle, "it was not organized to sponsor baseball or football, but to afford young men of the city an opportunity to enjoy and improve themselves in a well-equipped gymnasium." They formed a football and baseball team in 1902 and played each year, until the club disbanded in 1908. The Gainesville team and Denton were bitter rivals.
