Description

The Mobile Register, July 9, 1868, under the headline "Base Ball at Spring Hill" reports that the St. Elmo team is to play the Excelsior team, which is made up of students of Spring Hill College.

Spring Hill was annexed by Mobile in the 1900s. Spring Hill College is an old Jesuit College. Cuhaj, "Baseball in Mobile" pp. 9, 15 says that the college students played baseball among themselves as early as 1860. The book cites the reminiscences of Nemesio Gallo, a Cuban who attended the college starting in May 1860 and later said he learned the game of baseball while at the school.
