Description	"A great many young men of [Jerseyville] have taken to base ball as fish do to water, and have been at it without any interruption from outsiders for the last three years until last week, when Dr. J.O. Hamilton had a number of them arrested for playing inside the corporation. The base ballists will have their trial to-day before Judge Peter P. Voohrees JW. Merrill prosecutes, and Hon. Robert A. King defends young America." Missouri Republican, Aug. 30, 1870, found by Jeff Kittel. The St. Louis Daily Missouri Democrat, March 5, 1868 reports that two Jerseyville clubs will play a match game.
