Town Ball to Modern Baseball Compared in Nostalgic Note
The Tribune editor recalls old town ball versus modern baseball, describing no fouls in town ball unless the ball went over the fence, the batter's three bits rule, and the method of putting players out known as crossing out. It notes no fixed positions, high honor for the catcher, and contrasts with today’s curving pitches and formal play. The piece ends with reflections on fun still found in the old game and a shift to troop encampment news at Red Oak.
