Description	From PBall Entry #1850s.4 – New Orleans LA: Clubs Formed by German and Irish immigrants to play Baseball "Beginning in the 1850's, the Germans and the Irish took up the sport [baseball] with alacrity. In New Orleans, for example, the Germans founded the Schneiders, Laners, and Landwehrs, and the Irish formed the Fenian Baseball Club. . . . Baseball invariably accompanied the ethnic picnics of the Germans, Irish, French, and, later, Italians. Open Issue: Can we determine when the Irish club, and any others, were first established, and whether they played by Association rules?
Sources	Per Benjamin G. Rader, American Sports: From the Age of Folk Games to the Age of Spectators [Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, 1883], page 93. No source provided.

Comment	I have not been able to find newspaper mentions of baseball games in New Orleans prior to 1858. The first mention of a Landwehr BBC I've found is in 1884. It is possible the source refers to a Squirrel Tales BBC headed by captains Schneider and Lauer. [ba] Edit with form to add a comment
