“BASE BALL CLUB. – A number of gentlemen of this city have formed themselves into a club for the practice of the invigorating amusement of Base Ball. Their practicing ground is on the common east of the canal. We hope that this will be succeeded by a Cricket Club” “Base Ball Club,” Trenton (NJ) State Gazette (May 26, 1856) no page provided.
