| Description | "There were sixty members of the first base ball club which was organized in 1867." "On one occasion our club had a match game with a Columbia club. The whole city turned out. We played nearly all day and beat the Columbians 'out of their boots,' the score standing 96 to 66 in our favor. Wasn't that playing ball some? [Open Issue: Can we ascertain that this club played by Association rules?] "The Yankee garrison was encamped on the green outside the wall south of the campus, and they also had a club and played ball. After our 'walk over' of the Columbia boys the garrison sent us a challenge. The challenge came to me as secretary of the club.. I called a meeting of the club and laid the challenge before them. After several fiery speeches it was unanimously resolved to decline the challenge, and I was instructed to so inform he Yankee club. I did so, and several spicy communications passed between us." Columbia SC (1860 pop. 8000; 1870 pop. 9300) is about 110 miles inland from Charleston. |
