Description

After a cricket match between the Launceston Cricket Club and nearby Deloraine, "An exhibition of the favorite American game of base-ball was afterwards given by sides chosen by Messrs. Ferguson and Atkinson [of the LCC], and was won by he former. Messrs. Hales, Ferguson and Cameron were, as batsmen, the most successful exponents of the game, which, however, does not threaten ever to become a formidable rival to our own national game."
