Description

The South Pass News, Sept. 27, 1870 [South Pass City], grumbles about a letter to the editor in the Omaha Herald regarding a game between Atlantic City and the Sweetwater Base Ball Club on July 4th. The grumble is that while Sweetwater lost, it was not disgraced as the letter claims.

South Pass City and Atlantic City (both in Fremont County) were gold rush towns founded in 1868 and 1867, respectively. They were soon abandoned. The Sweetwater River flows through South Pass, and it is probable that the Sweetwater team was from South Pass City.
