Description

The Miami Metropolis, July 2, 1897: "There will be a grand baseball match at West Palm Beach tomorrow (Saturday) between the team of that town and a nine from Miami." Same July 9, 1897 reports that Miami won the game, and implied that's to be expected, as West Palm Beach is a mere town while Miami is a city.

"The Tropical Sun" [West Palm Beach] Dec. 2, 1897 says the local team traveled to Miami and was defeated by Miami 14 to 13.

Miami was incorporated in 1896. It had about 800 residents at this time.

See Lemon City and Cocoanut Grove entries, as these towns are now part of Miami.
