Description

"Women as Base Ball Players.  The young women of Peterboro NY . . . have organized a base ball club, and have already arrived at a creditable degree of proficiency of play.  There are about fifty members belonging to it, from which a playing nine has been chosen, headed by Miss Nannie Miller as captain."

Peterboro is described as a hamlet at a crossroads in Smithfield, NY, about 25 E of Syracuse in Central New York, with a current population of about 1,200.  Go figure.
