| Text | In early 1860, the Olympic Club of Macon GA played a series of intramural games, most apparently while trying to follow Association rules. The Macon Weekly Telegraph recorded five [and another that may be misdated] games in February and March, each with a box score. However, defection was in the air: "A number of gentlemen are about to form another base ball club, the game to be played after fashion in the South twenty years ago, when old field schools [school fields, maybe?] were the scenes of trial and activity and rosy cheeked girls were the umpires." Macon Telegraph, March 12, 1860. All seven articles were accessed via subscription search, May 20-21, 2009. Macon GA is in central Georgia, about 80 miles SE of Atlanta. |
