Description	Bob Rives' "Baseball in Wichita," pages 11-12, note that baseball reached the newly incorporated Wichita in 1874, citing the Wichita Beacon of that year as saying "The base ball mania has reached us." The book gives further 1874-75 newspaper excerpts commenting on the uniforms of the new club. Kansas' largest city, Wichita KS (1870 pop. about 900; 1880 pop. about 5000) is in the central part of the state and about 200 miles SW of Kansas City KS.
