Text | "Dear Spirit: The base-ball mania has attacked a select few in New Haven . . . the (self-assumed) best eight challenged the mediocre and miserable thirteen, who constitute the rest of this [unnamed] club. Best two in three, no grumbling, were the conditions . . . [The Worsts won, 48-40, 35-17, 33-27; sounds like a fixed-innings match.]. But what I meant to write you about, was to ask where we can obtain a full statement and explanation of the rules and principles of base-ball." "BASE-BALL IN NEW HAVEN," Spirit of the Times [date shorn from Mears Clippings Collections; inferred to be July 1858]. Facsimile provided by Craig Waff, September 2008. |
