Description	"Previous to 1870, base ball was unknown in the villages of Michigan. . . . James R. Clark organized a base ball club in St. Joseph previous to the organization of the [local rival] Benton Harbor nine [in 1870]. . . . The St. Joseph club was named the Mutuals, in imitation of the famous Mutuals of New York. . . . . In St. Joseph the ball ground was located where the Central school building now [1915] stands. St. Joseph is on Lake Michigan in the southwestern corner of the state; it is about 35 miles N of South Bend IN and about 45 miles W of Kalamazoo MI. It is about 2 miles from Benton Harbor, its reported base ball rival.
