First publication of the Knickerbocker rules.
“In Barre, Massachusetts [about 20 miles northwest of Worcester], the anniversary of the organization of government was celebrated by a game of ball – round or base ball, we suppose – twelve on a side. It took four hours to play three heats, and the defeated party paid for a dinner at the Barre Hotel.”
A team size of 12 and three-game match are consistent with some Mass game contests.
