Description

The Chicago Inter Ocean, June 24, 1888, reports on a recent baseball game between clubs of Wheeling and Northfield, with Wheeling winning 26 to 19.

Baseball probably was played in Northfield prior to 1888, seeing as how the surrounding towns had baseball games in the 1870s. From the article, it is uncertain whether the team is from the village of Northfield, or the surrounding township of Northfield.
