From Protoball Entry #1856.21 – Trenton Club Forms for "Invigorating Amusement"
"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."
