| Description | From Protoball Entry #1860.43 –- Three Ball Clubs Form in VT Village "As if to anticipate and prepare for the dread exigencies of war, then impending, by a simultaneous impulse, all over the country, base ball clubs were organized during the year or two preceding 1861. Perhaps no game or exercise, outside military drill, was ever practiced, so well calculated as this to harden the muscles and invigorate the physical functions. . . . "Three base ball clubs were formed in this town, in 1860 and 1861. . . . They were sustained with increasing interest until 1862, when a large portion of each club was summoned to war." Hiel Hollister, Pawlet [VT] for One Hundred Years (J. Munsell, Albany, 1867), pages 121-122. Available via Google books: search "base ball""pawlet". Accessed 11/14/2008. Pawlet VT [current pop. c1400] is on the New York border, and is about 15 miles east of Glens Falls NY. Note: This is the first VT item on base ball in the Protoball files, as of November 2008; can that be right? Earlier items [#178.6, #1787.2, #1828c.5, and #1849.9] all cite wicket or goal. Chester VT's 3044 souls today live about 30 miles north of Brattleboro and 35 miles east of the New York border. Open Issue: Is there a way to ascertain whether this club played by Association rules? |
