Text | "Haverford College [Haverford PA] students, however, played cricket with English hosiery weavers prior to 1942, the year the students formed the first all-American team." Lester, John A., A Century of Philadelphia Cricket (U of Penn Press, Philadelphia, 1951), pages 9-11; as cited in Gelber, Steven M., "'Their Hands Are All Out Playing:' Business and Amateur Baseball, 1845-1917," Journal of Sport History, Vol. 11, number 1 (Spring 1984), page 15. Note: is Lester saying this is the first Haverford all-native team, first US all-native team, or what? |
