French Lick Plutos
The French Lick Plutos were a Negro League team from the resort town of French Lick, Indiana. Alternately known as the Red Devils, they played in Indiana's Springs Valley, where their primary rival was the West Baden Sprudels, another nearby resort team. Negro leagues second baseman Bingo DeMoss began his career in 1913 with the Sprudels, who claimed an overall record of 108-33 that year, much of it against the Sprudels and the Indianapolis ABCs.
The ABCs drew the best players from the Sprudels and Plutos and by 1915 had effectively superseded both clubs.
