clubs was played. The ~contendcrs
were the Knickcrbockers and the New

on the Elysian fields, @ n Jersey City.
That was on June II, 1876. The Ely.
sian fields are now the site of Hobo

They were the first to formulate play

The New Yorks organized n little
later and adopted the same code. Both
or those clubs played several games
with scrub teams picked from among
the spectators before they faced each
other on that June day In 1916.
Under the rules that obtained Mt
that time, the first team to make II
runs was the victor. The game lasted
four innings, the Knickerbockers win

score Of their opponents.
The Knickerbockers found their
first real rivals In the Gothams. organ-

Philadelphia early adopted the New

for supremacy, while in Boston the
Olympics were organized In 1854, and
