The Rochester (IN) Standard, Thursday, Aug. 1, 1867: The Rochester Base Ball Club met last Friday evening at the office of Jamison & Holmes, and organized by electing the following named officers: H. B. Jamison, President, Vernon Gould, Vice President ..." The Rochester Chronicle, Aug. 8, 1867, says that the new club was nicknamed "The Manitan." The team didn't last very long. The Rochester Standard, April 16, 1868 wondered "What became of the Base Ball organization of this place? Why not revive it again?"
