The Hugo Scouts were a minor league baseball team based in Hugo, Oklahoma. In 1913 and 1914, Hugo teams played exclusively as members of the Class D level Texas-Oklahoma League, hosting home games at Ansley Park. Hugo played the 1913 season as the "Hugoites."
The Wichita Falls Drillers had a 33–46 record when the franchise relocated to Hugo on July 7, 1913. The team compiled a 21–21 record while based in Hugo and finished with an overall record of 54–70. The Wichita/Hugo team placed sixth in the Texas–Oklahoma League, playing under Manager Fred Morris. The Hugoites finished 29.5 games behind the first place Denison Blue Sox in the final standings. Wichita/Hugo player Fred Nicholson led the league with both 90 runs scored and 147 hits.[3][4][5][6][7]
The team became known as the Hugo "Scouts" in 1914, as the franchise continued play as members of the Texas–Oklahoma League, before folding during the season. On June 11, 1914, the Hugo Scouts had compiled a 19–32 record playing under managers Lon Ury and Leo Nevitt when the franchise disbanded. The Ardmore Indians franchise disbanded on the same day.[8][9] The Texas–Oklahoma League folded permanently after the 1914 season.[10][7]
At age 18, Baseball Hall of Fame member Rogers Hornsby played for the 1914 Hugo Scouts in his first professional season. Hornsby reportedly signed with the Scouts for $75.00 per month. Hornsby hit .232 and committed 45 errors during the season.[11][12]
