The Jefferson City Baseball Club was organized in 1896 by Henry F. Priesmeyer in association with W. A. Dallmeyer and E. J. Miller. The club of 1896 defeated all the crack teams of Missouri, and was called the “Amateur Champions of Missouri.” The above management continued to handle the team until the Summer of 1899, when the franchise was purchased by H. W. Sieling and George Stampfli, who continued in the management for several months when Mr. Stampfli disposed of his interest to Mr. Sieling, he taking full control of the team. The above picture was taken late in the season of 1899.

Charles Dewey of the Press Printing Company, was Captain of the team the greater part of the 1899 season when he resigned, and the captainship was tendered to Lee Garvin who finished the season. In 1899 the team made a circuit of the States of Missouri and Illinois, defeating every club they came in contact with except the Alton Blues of Alton, Ill., who won the series. The club had three pitchers, Messrs. Popp, Coleman and Maupin, and each had enviable records; the back-stop work was performed by Capt. Lee Garvin and Wilcox. The other positions were filled by excellent ball players. The club, as a whole, was a splendid advertisement for Jefferson City.

​

The South Side Booster Club owed its birth to a spirit of progress and development on the part of a number of citizens who resided in that portion of the city popularly known as the South Side, now called Old Munichburg. Organized in 1912, the group enjoyed wonderful growth and had a membership of 100 in a few short months. Among the notable achievements of the organization was the improvement of many streets, extension of water mains, additional street lighting and the establishment of sanitary sewers.

Chief among the things accomplished through the efforts of the Booster Club was the organization of a bank on the South Side. This institution, know as the Cole County Bank, had a paid up capital stock of $25,000. It opened its doors for business on November 9, 1912 with the promise of a bright future.

The officers of the club served without compensation and were: George Bartholomaeus, president; Ed. S. Whitehead, first vice-president; Chris Asel, second Vice-president; Ed. W. Finke, third vice-president; John J. Ahrens, corresponding secretary; Robert Mohr, recording secretary; George McFarland, treasurer; Albert W. Happy, A. J. Moerschel, Hugo Busch, Martin Loesch, Nick Kielman, Henry Sachs and Hy. Schmidt, members of the board of directors; John H. Faust, Henry C. Schmidt, William Hott, Hugo Busch, Henry Ottman, Robert Mohr and Carl Deeg, members of the legislative and steering committee. The club met on the first Tuesday of each month at its club rooms in Friemel's Garden.
