ABERDEEN BASEBALL CLUB TO GIVE BENEFIT SHOW The Aberdeen baseball club of the Moore County League is planning an entertainment of some kind, probably a minstrel show, from which it hopes to derive sufficient revenue to make up losses resulting from last season’s expen.ses and provide some working capital on which to start the 1933 season. George Martin and John Sloan are working on plans for the show.
