| Description | "Base Ball Abroad. One of the most interesting features of the celebration of the glorious Fourth in Paris by the Americans that chanced to be in that city on our national anniversary, was a game of genuine American Base Ball. Sides were chosen, bases laid, and the party entered into the game with all the enthusiasm of veteran players. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and St. Louis, all sections of the country, were represented; and long before the game concluded the players became well acquainted with one another. The ladies came out and watched the game with great interest, while the French people looked on in amazement as the balls went singing by their ears. At the conclusion of the game, measures were taken to form a club; and it is probable, by this time, the first American Base Ball Club of Paris is in successful operation. There are many young Americans there, in schools and banking-houses; and that the club will be sustained, when once it, is organized, admits of no doubt." |
