| Text | "Base Ball," The New York Clipper (March 26, 1859). The fly rule lost by a 32-30 vote, and the paper worried that easy fielding would "reduce the 'batting' part of the game to a nonentity. Compensation for playing any game was outlawed. The official ball shrunk slightly in weight and size. Matches would be decided by single games. Facsimile provided by Craig Waff, September 2008. |
