1858.72 "Prison Bass" played
Game:
The New York Clipper, Oct. 23, 1858 reports a game of "Prison Bass" (prisoner's base?) was played in Hoboken. The article notes that the game is seldom played in the US, but is popular in the Staffordshire (England) Potteries. It suggests that the players here were from Staffordshire and were pottery workers.
