Description	The Sporting Life, Jan. 8, 1890, under the headline "A Voice from the Antipodes" has an 1888 letter from W. M. Chigwidden, Secy. of the Wellington (NZ) Base Ball Association. He writes that baseball was introduced here in Oct. 1888, and that there are currently 13 clubs in the colony, including a Wellington club and two clubs at Hutt, 7 miles from Wellington--the Hutt BBC, and the Native Base Ball Club "formed entirely of Maoris." Maoris were/are Polynesian-descended peoples living in New Zealand.
