California Spirit of the Times, February 11, 1860. 

Comment

neither the California Spirit nor other accessible papers reported on the actual game, if any: "another 'did they or didn't they' mystery." Mariposa CA is on the edge of Yosemite Park and about 60 miles N of Fresno.

1861-1865 - Note: Protoball has a Separate Compilation of Ballplaying in Civil War Camps
