Description	The La Crosse Daily Republican, March 3, 1860, under the headline "Ball Playing" reports that some young boy played "a good old fashioned game of base ball" yesterday. The game is labeled "base ball," but it being referred to as "old fashioned" implies it was a predecessor game, perhaps town ball.

Comment	Sanford, "A History of La Crosse, 1841-1900" mentions an 1860 game played "on the Square"--presumably, the same game. The Public Square was at that time was later Cameron Park. Edit with form to add a comment
