| Description | Peter Morris et al., editors, "Base Ball Pioneers. 1850-1870" p. 214 says a Chicago team beat the Rustics of Danby (modern Glen Ellyn) at Danby in 1867. Weiser, "Glen Ellyn," pp. 48-49, has more detail on this game, citing the reminiscences of L. Charles Cooper. Evidently Cooper (1846-1923. An attorney) and "Dr. Harcourt" (Dr. R. H. Harcourt, 1844-79,, who'd played the game while attending college in Ann Arbor (U of MI)), introduced the game to Danby and formed the team. It lost to the Chicago Excelsiors 124 to 2. The book gives the names of some of the Danby players. This game was played Aug. 21, 1867. See the Chicago Tribune, Aug. 15, Aug. 22, 1867. See also the DuPage Club of Danby. |
