Text | On October 22, 1859, the touring English cricketers played base ball at a base ball field, which is "about two miles from the town, and had been enclosed at great expense. The base-ball game is somewhat similar to the English game of "rounders," as played by school-boys. . . .Caffyn played exceedingly well, but the English thought catching the ball on the first bound a very childish game." Fred Lillywhite, The English Cricketers' Trip to Canada and the United States (Lillywhite, London, 1860), page 50. Provided by John Thorn, email of 2/9/2008. The game was played in Rochester NY. The book [as accessed 11/1/2008] can be viewed on Google Books; try a search of "lillywhite canada." |
