Manager Zimmerman said that the Veedersburg team was their toughest opponent in the five games

The team at the left was called the Veedersburg Little Jersey Baseball team.  They beat the Ladoga Leaders and Eddie Summers in a Championship game played on Sept. 25, 1902.  The writer of the Crawfordsville paper wrote under the headline: FADED HOPES The Championship goes to the Veedersburg Team--Ladoga Threw the Game Away.  Pre-game news labeled the game as the game which would decide the championship of  the two counties of Fountain and Montgomery  The Leaders lost 6-3.  Eddie Summers played 1st base and had three hits in four times at bat. 


The team below is another Veedersburg team of the early 1900's.
