Text | "Who has not played 'barn ball' in boyhood, 'base' in his youth and 'wicket' in his adulthood?"
|
Sources | New Orleans Picayune, 1841. This cite is found in Tom Melville, The Tented Field: A History of Cricket in America (Bowling Green State U Press, Bowling Green, 1998), page 6. He attributes it, apparently, to Dale Somers, The Rise of Sports in New Orleans (LSU Press, Baton Rouge, 1972), page 48. |
Warning | It is not clear that this article reflects actual wicket play, or interest, in New Orleans in 1841. The text appears have been 'borrowed' from a Cleveland paper: See 1841.17 However, 1844.13 shows that a New Orleans wicket club did call a meeting in 1844. |
Comment | Note: Melville is willing to identify the sport as the one that was played mostly in the CT-central and MA area . . . but it is conceivable that the writer intended to denote cricket instead? From Bruce Allardise, December 2021: The original article is in the New Orleans Times Picayune, May 31, 1841, which references a reminisce in a {April 1841} Cleveland OH newspaper article.

Query | Do we have any other references to wicket in LA before 1844? Could the Picayune simply have copied an article from a distant newspaper. Can we learn how broadly barn ball was played n the US? In other nations? Edit with form to add a query |
