Description

The La Crosse Daily Republican, March 3, 1860, under the headline "Ball Playing" reports that some young boy played "a good old fashioned game of base ball" yesterday.

The game is labeled "base ball," but it being referred to as "old fashioned" implies it was a predecessor game, perhaps town ball.
