4O4 teams took part. Another league
was in operation in the same camp
at the same time with 162 teams.
Some of the same men played in both
leagues. Camp Beauregard had III
teams. Kearny 1872. Sheridan IO4 and
Lewis 1913 Few OF the national guard
and national army camps. 80 in all,
had less than 30 teams
Something of the volume OF play
can be deducted from the fact that
one camp. Dodge. used up 1882 base
balls in the regular league season.
Dodge was situated on smooth allu-
vial soil. where a ball would last for
some time.
In the line of playing fields. Kearny
had 45, Travis 20 and Lewis So. At
