The opening game of the season was played on May 10 at Ferguson field just north of town.  The contest involved the Lincoln Social club of Follansbee and the Colliers team.   Colliers won 7-5.   In a follow-up game played at Colliers, the Lincoln Club won 3-2. The lineup for Lincoln was as follows: Criffith (2b), J. Jones (1b), S. Jones (3b), Rateliffe (m), Kruger (lf), Claypoole (cf), Williams (ss), R. Blakeley (rf) and W. Blakeley (p).

In a Lincoln game played at West Liberty State Normal School, the contest was stopped in the eighth inning “on account of a rank decision made by the umpire.”  Lincoln lost 9-8.   In September, the Lincoln club battled the Wellsburg Giants for Supremacy of Brooke County.  Wellsburg won 4-2.   The Lincoln Social Club was organized for young men in 1911.

Other Follansbee teams mentioned in the 1913 city paper included the Follansbee Athletic Club that was defeated in an early season game by West Liberty State Normal School 16-3 at West Liberty.    The Follansbee team left early on Saturday for Wellsburg, where they changed streetcars for Bethany and then rode a horse-drawn wagon to West Liberty.  The Mill Towns Review reported that the Follansbee team was “defeated on account of the condition of the baseball diamond at the place (West Liberty).  The infield was on the knob of a hill and only the heads of the outfielders were visible.”

Follansbee’s Harmony club team played their city rival the Lincoln club on June 28. Lincoln won 7-4.
