The Prescott Weekly Arizona Miner, June 12, 1874, reprints a "Letter from Camp Grant" dated May 26th, which says the Neversink BBC of this post and the Summer nine of Bowie intend to play a match game at Camp Grant June 7th.

Same Oct. 28, 1871, reports baseball was played by the "boys in blue" at Camp Date Creek recently. It is unclear where this camp was located.
