Description

 

 

[1] "Base Ball – The 'Dysodia Base Ball Club' is the name of our society for the development of the muscles.  If our citizens have been slow in organizing a Club, we cannot be accused of not going into the game heartily when it is once started.  Last Tuesday was the first day of practice the Club had, and for beginners, the scoring was indeed creditable.  Nothing can be more invigorating or pleasant for our shopkeepers and mechanics than to take a hand and play heartily for a few moments.  A meeting will be held at the Court House this (Saturday) evening at 7 o’clock, for the purpose of perfecting the organization.  All those desiring to take part in this interesting amusement are requested to be present at the appointed hour."

 

 

The date of the club's first practice “last Tuesday” was July 9, 1867.

 

 

[2]  "The society in Eugene is good,-better than on average in the State.  Those whom I met are social, hospitable and intelligent.  I have not met a more jolly set of fellows anywhere, and they play base ball too; and have attained so much proficiency that I should not be surprised to hear that the Dysodias’ (Dog-fennel’s) had challenged the state."

 

Mr. P.W. Gillette’s article appears in the August 2, 1867, edition of the Morning Oregonian (attached), and I first saw the team mentioned in a book about the city’s farmers’ market and later in other publications.  I have yet to determine where for certain that they played, but it appears that it was in the area of what is now the county fairgrounds.  The next later organized team of record in the city is associated with the University of Oregon in 1877.

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know

Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
