|Headline=Association Rules Appear in Syracuse Newspaper |Year=1855 |Salience=2 |Location=Western New York |Game=Base Ball

|Text=

Without accompanying comment, 17 rules for playing the New York style of base ball appear in the Syracuse Standard (May 16, 1855). The rules include the original 13 playing rules in the Knickerbocker game plus four rules added in in New York in 1854. Porter's Spirit of the Times would carry the New York rules in December of 1856 [Peter Morris, A Game of Inches (Ivan Dee, 2006), page 22. The Spirit of the Times had printed the rules four days earlier.
