Whitmore to each pick 9 men for a ball-game and each of the men on the winning team was to receive a "quarter of beef." They found they have no set rules for an umpire to go by.It was necessary to send to New York for a rule book and it was December 27th before the book arrived. Rather than postpone the game until spring some men scraped the snow off almost the entire Pioneer City Park. The game lasted from 10:30 AM to 3:30PM. There was an interruption after the first innings. The backstop for Gibson's team was called home because of the arrival of a new son. It was necessary to find a replacement. The game ended with a score of 87 for the Whitmore team on only 17 for the Gibson team." | + | |Pagetext= |
