    Mobile Baseball, 1868-1910

    Transcribed Pages from the Charles Dickson Papers on Mobile Baseball Box 3 Folder 1: Mobile Baseball 1868-1910 1. Early Base Ball in Mobile The first record of baseball games being played in Mobile was an account in the Mobile Daily News, Feb. 1st 1868 – The game was for the championship of the state between the: -- Dra [illegible] and the Mobile ball club resulting in a score of 63 to 50 in favor of the Dra[illegible]. It took 2 hours and fourty minutes time to play the game, which was said to be very exciting to five hundred who witnessed the game, not withstanding the very cold weather on that February afternoon. There is no mention of the number of innings that were played,(if any) before the contest was ended. From the report of the game, it is evident that each player of the nine on each team were individually credited by the scores that they made and charged with the number of times that they were Tagged out. R. Ellison was the umpire and R. Goubil and W. Madderu were score keepers. -- Champion Base Ball Match – Dra[illegible] Mobile Player Position Outs Runs Player Position Outs Runs Allen P 2 9 Lardner 3B 4 6 Callett C 3 8 Walker 1B 2 8 Hurley Jr. SS 5 6 Sheridan 2B 3 7 Fitzpatrick 1B 5 6 Cannon P 3 6 Lowduer 2B 1 10 Peterson CF 5 4 Parsons 3B 3 8 Christ C 2 5 Hurley Sr. 4F 4 6 McAvory 4F 3 4 Madderu CF 1 8 Dalton[?] SS 2 6 Bahanna RF 3 2 Magles RF 3 4 Totals 27 63 27 50 2.
