The first ref we have to a Cazenovia club comes from a Syracuse paper's brief August 1 report on a game between Cazenovia and the Syracuse BBC. Cazenovia won, 32-20.
Cazenovia NY is about 17 miles SE of Syracuse. Its population in 1860 was about 4300.
The baseball clippings collection at the Onondaga Host. Assn reveals the club playing four games in 1860.
