Text

"The sorts and entertainments were very simple [around 1800] . . . games of ball, not base-ball, as is now [1880s?] the fashion, yet with wickets . . . "  

"But as to sports and entertainments in general, there were more of them in those days than now.  We had more holidays, more games in the streets -- of ball-playing, of quoits, of running, leaping, and wrestling."

 

--Orville Dewey

Comment

If these 1800-era memories were composed in around 1880, we should be cautious.
