Text	"Early references to the Knickerbockers' 1845 rules credit both William H. Tucker and William R. Wheaton, with (Hall of Famer Alexander) Cartwright seldom if ever getting a mention until (Duncan) Curry made an offhand remark to reporter Will Rankin during an 1877 stroll in the park (and even this remark was initially reported as a reference to "Wadsworth" as the diagram-giver; only in 1908 was Rankin's recall of Curry's attribution morphed into Cartwright). Curry and Cartwright perhaps deserve more credit for the organization of the club (i.e., its by-laws) than the rules. In the 1848 Club Constitution, p. 14: Committee to Revise Constitution and By-Laws: D.L. Adams, Pres. A.J. Cartwright, Jr., Vice Pres Eugene Plunkett, Sec'y J.P. Mumford Duncan F. Curry
