The website Early Texas Baseball says that in 1872 a team from New Orleans played teams in Dallas, Waco and Austin. I’ve not been able to verify this. The first contemporary account I found was the Galveston Tri-Weekly News, June 6, 1873, saying the “boys of Waco and Belton” will have a match game of base ball at Waco on the 16th.
