"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 farvor. Fifty-two of the Class attached themselves to the first Base-Ball Club."
Yale Literary Magazine, August 1861, page 370.
