Description	Item A. "Base ball clubs were started in College a little over a year ago, and during all last fall the game was played, by the Sophomore and Junior classes, with a perfect vengeance. With the former, every afternoon, week in and week out, from the beginning of the first term, down to Thanksgiving, used to find the ball-ground pretty plentifully sprinkled with players and students, till about five minutes to four, when, suddenly, the field would be vacant." Item B. "The honor of starting the first Base-Ball Club at Yale belongs to a member of Sixty-one – the member from Chittenango [NY]. During the first year (Junior) of the existence of the Club, the game was practiced with zeal and success – almost to the exclusion of boating. The subsequent year brought less favor. Fifty-two of the Class attached themselves to the first Base-Ball Club."
