Description

The Idaho City Idaho Semi-Weekly World, June 8, 1880: "The Boys of this place have organized a base ball club and intend to play a match game on July 5th."

Same June 11 says the two nines are nicknamed the Mutuals and the Garfields. Same June 25 says their grounds are west of the newspaper office, and just below the footbridge.

Idaho City is west of Boise. It was the largest city in the northwest in 1864, with 7,000 residents, but a gold rush bubble bursting led to a decline to 700 by 1870.
