Description	The Rio Grande Republican, Dec. 13, 1884, reports that "a hurriedly picked nine of Las Cruces", only recently organized, lost to a visiting El Paso club 41-14. The Mesilla Valley Democrat, Sept. 21, 1888, mentions a game between the "Las Cruces club" and a picked nine. Las Cruces was settled in 1849, but didn't "take off" as a town (nearby Mesilla dwarfed it) until the railroad arrived in 1881. It is likely that baseball arrived in the area earlier than 1884.
