Text	"In Barre, Massachusetts [about 20 miles northwest of Worcester], the anniversary of the organization of government was celebrated by a game of ball - round or base ball, we suppose - twelve on a side. It took four hours to play three heats, and the defeated party paid for a dinner at the Barre Hotel." North American and United States Gazette, June 7, 1848. Provided by John Thorn, 10/12/2007. A team size of 12 and three-game match are consistent with some Mass game contests. Note: This seems to have been a Philadelphia paper; why would it carry - or reprint - this central-MA story?
