Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Constitution, by-Laws and Playing Rules of the Association of Indoor Base Ball Clubs
The first contest, between two nines chosen from among the Farragut members, was one of the funniest performances ever witnessed, and the members and visitors went home loud in their praises of indoor base ball. Owing to the newness of the game and consequent inexperience of those who played, the score oftentimes ran into large figures, the first record being 41 to 40. As the play of the athletes improved, the result was much smaller figures and more on the professional basis of base ball, until now, with numerous clubs and leagues all over the country, the game has reached a scientific standpoint hitherto unsuspected of fulfilment.
