Description

From William Humber's "Early Baseball ii Canada" manuscript, 9/14/12:

Railton’s Directory for the City of London, Canada West (later Ontario) published in 1856 described the formation of a local club consisting of 22 members. The number is significant because it appears to conform to the description of what the New York Clipper later described as “the game as played in Canada”, [and which for simplicity sake I will now dub, “The Canadian Game”] with teams consisting of 11-aside.

See also Martin, "The Tecumsehs" p. 32.
