Description	The Louisville Courier Journal, Aug. 28, 1887 has a long article (from the Chicago Herald)--the reminiscences of an "old timer" who talks at great length about the Grove City team's game and loss to Chicago 111-5 in 1870. The narrator says he was a member of the "Actives" club of Kankakee. He says that Grove City's pitcher, Bob Laparle, had terrorized the "sluggers" of Chebanse, Aroma, Watseka, Gilman, Manteno and Momence, but was knocked around by the Chicago team. This reminiscence is not enough IMO to establish baseball in Aroma, etc. by 1870.
