Text	"The first regularly organized team in New England was the Boston Olympics of 1854. The Elm Trees followed in 1855 and the Green Mountains two years later." Seymour, Harold, Baseball: the Early Years [Oxford University Press, 1989], p. 27. [No ref given.] It seems plausible, given similarity of phrasing, that this comes from George Wright's November 1904 review of baseball history. See#1854.3 below. There is also similar treatment in Lovett, Old Boston Boys, p. 129.
