Colonial Times [Hobart], Saturday, September 22, 1855, page 3.  Posted to the 19CBB list November 21, 2009, by Eric Miklich.  Subsequent comments from Bob Tholkes and Richard Hershberger [11/23/09] led to conjecture that this form of “base-ball” arrived Down Under directly from its English roots, for in 1855 American presence was largely restricted to the gold fields.  Note: Hobart is on the northern coast of the island that has been known as Tasmania since 1856.
