Description | In 1805 a game of “bace” was reportedly played among adult males in New York City. Its rules were not reported. The word “bace” is extremely rare in sport: it appeared in a 1377 English document, and, in a list of obsolete Cornish terms, for the game Prisoner’s Base in Cornwall in 1882. Unlike the usual case for prisoner’s base, however, a final score (41-35) was reported for this match. |
Sources | See Protoball Chronology entries 1805.4 and 1805.5. The game was reported in the New York Evening Post of April 13, 1805. |
