Description

The Boston Traveler, May 31, 1855:

"Bat and Ball--The Olympic was challenged by the Elm Tree Club, at a game of ball to be played on the Common, which was accepted and played this morning..."

The game was to 75. Olympic 75, Elm 46, with each club having 25 "rounds."

This is probably some form of the MA rules game.
