Here is what Parson Brownlow thinks of base ball: That wicked city, Memphis, is certainly entitled to the name of the “city of crime,” for scarcely a day passes without reports in their papers of a murder, robbery, or some other species of crime and horrible transactions. It is, no doubt, a judgment visited on them, however, for their sacrilegious and Sabbath-breaking habits. They desecrate the holy day with games of base ball all through the season.
