Description

(Porter’s Spirit of the Times (2): “The prevailing epidemic in this the ‘Flour’ City, at present, appears to be base-ball.  Before this year, such a thing as any kind of out-door game, was scarcely thought of.  In the Spring, the Flour City Club was organized, soon after followed the Live Oak and University Clubs, and then the Geneva Valley, Olympic, Hickory, Havelock, Excelsior, Married Mens’, No. 1, Young America, and I might say others too numerous to mention.  The first match of the season came off on the 18th inst., between the Flour City and University Clubs.  There was considerable feeling evinced about the match, it being the first one, and an immense crowd witnessed the game.  The Flour City boys took the ball, making twenty-five runs to their opponents eight.  Their playing was remarkably fine, considering the short time they had been in practice, and disappointed the spectators, who anticipated a much closer game.  There are several other games on the tapis, and if the lovers of the game continue as they have commenced, we trust that our city will be able to hold its own with the best.”)
